:dono
I never saw anything about it.
There was some talk about adding 2 stroke oil to your tank when filling up with diesel, think Big H was gonna look into it with his mechanic.
I have never owned a diesel, but don't think I would if it was under waranty......Quote:

Mine way past any warranty, 96 model with 270k on it, hope to get another 200 k out if it

Filter some used motor oil and add it. Clean it up some more.
BW, I like your cap, looks like me with the skido's.
I guarantee you won't be disappointed! I run it in my 79 Benz diesel I drive to work!
Shoot Rees.....Go for it! Put a shot of Jack in there with it :cheers2Quote:

We run 10 fuel trucks every day. We have not had a problem with em and they run about 2500 miles a week. Ultra low sulfur diesel not doubt has far less lubricity in it, which in turn is probably harder on the motor. Some kind of oil will help with lubing motors.
nononononono don't do that,you can't filter out enough of the carbon residue. On the newer engines the tolerances on pumps and injectors are to tight and that slight bit of carbon will ruin them. Marvel Mystery oil, power steering fluid, outboard oil works well. Which ever you can find cheaper. For pickups about 6 oz to the tank.Quote:

Also know Cummings says to put 1.75 gallons of used motor oil per 30 gallon tank on there big generators.
I use a 1 oz per gallon mix with 2stroke oil and it gives about 128:1 mix witch is a good ratio for road trucks to keep them from smoking and smelling like a 2stroke diesel.Quote:

Well, filled up today after running my first dose of added oil. Been getting 14 to 15 so 14.5 average I guess. Todays fill up I got 16.5. Not using high dollar oil, just the Wally World 2 stroke out of the gallon jug at about 10 cents an ounce. Filled up a little while ago for 3.35 a gallon which, sad to say, is the cheapest I have bought diesel in a very long time.
Thanks for the update, was wondering.
Now if I can find someone to fix the leak on the back of the heads where the return fuel lines are I will be in business. Does crank easier seems like.
See what had happend was........
Wait for it
Wait for it………
I told ya so!!!!
And is starting to idle smother too.
Its getting better for sure. Now tell me who can fix my fuel lines
Any shop with a two post lift.
i drive a diesel truck every day and put 70,000 + miles a year on it. I have had a 7.3 liter ford, a 5.9 liter dodge and am currently in a 6.6 duramax. I have put 450,000-500,000 on each of these without any major engine problems and have never put anything but diesel fuel in them. why fix it if it aint broke?
We use to put transmission fluid in the tanks of the diesels we drove seemed to make them run faster. long time ago .
Feesh. it added 2 miles to the gallon average, I'll take it. I'm on my 3rd 7.3 powerstroke and am the same way but this seems to help.Quote:

You can run b10 and gain some lubricity back.
What dat is????:donoQuote:

ps ULSD is ultra low sulfer diesel that is currently required. Boats and trains (and generators and few other things) still use the old nasty (ie high sulfer) diesel.
Guess the ultra low sulfer is why t is so high, remember when diesel was always cheaper than gas.
Rees, it's Taxes,Taxes,Taxes. Gubment trying to put trucking companies out of the over the road business and give it all to the RailRoad.Quote:
