    What is a CDR valve?

    What do you need the valve for? Couldn't you just run it open like a Mercedes diesel? ie no valve, just a 1/2 inch or so tube running from the valve cover back to the airbox. [123 diesel]

    6.2L Winter starting issues/strategies

    Do you fry eggs on it too? On a constructive note I live in Minnesota honestly I consider the temps I've seen in this thread warm... Do these things start at -30? I had a F-250 7.3 that started every time no matter what.
