    Question CK-4 Rating Okay for the 6.0?

    https://www.lelubricants.com/index.html We usually work through Jim Kukisski 61-six-460-994-nine For regular 5000 mile drain intervals we just use the 8700 in the 7.3s and 6.0s. Their 88xx or 81xx series is for extended drain intervals. Check with Jim and see what he says about it for your...

    Question CK-4 Rating Okay for the 6.0?

    Have you looked at the Lubrication Engineers oils? Their 8700 is CJ-4 rated. I have ran it for awhile now and it seems fine. It has good base oil and lots of cleaners. If you have used Delo (like I did) this oil will clean the oil rings out. Delo has better base oil but the additive package...

    Who trains their dogs

    I am on a Next-door board and they seem to have lots of dogs that get out and just run away or cant be caught. We always trained our dogs, they know that they better stay close to home if they get out and if they get called they better come right away. Sit, stay, laydown are understood, they...

    Question Engine Oil of Choice

    Depends on the motor you have. My 7.3 I run Lubrication Engineers 8700, it will clean out the ring landings on high milage trucks so expect a little oil use in the beginning. Give it a little time and it will stop, mine just used an extra quart. Engine will sound different too, more quiet...

    First time my truck has broken down on me!

    Unless I missed it, that plug you need is just a Dodge oil drain plug you can get for a few bucks at any parts house. Should just screw right in.

    New engine oil change intervals?

    Oil intervals are just a guess, get the oil tested and that is the real truth. Synthetic doesnt remove the contaminants, and that is the real problem. EU cars have very small engines, not the dirty diesels like the US has. Get that oil you drain out tested and you will probably change your...

    Steering hard sometimes

    Common problem that can be on even new trucks, brakes and PS use the same pressure from the same pump. Roll a little while turning the wheel and there will be no problem. Easier on the steering components too.

    Cooling System Treatment

    WIX cool, dex cool.. all of that is the wrong stuff.. You need the international or ford stuff.. I believe ford calls it FW16.. It is a cavitation inhibitor, so it can save your engine from pin holes in the cylinder walls... Very important!! Being you have a 03, you can run the ELC...

    Oil consumption Big Time!

    So are you saying that it is a bad injector and the company will not back them up?? If that is the case then everyone should know.. You said it was DIESEL CARE?? They also go by Diesel Daddy. If they dont back their product, they should be avoided now that we know.

    Injectors go bad for the third time!!!!

    What about fuel filter and air in the fuel? Sounds crazy that you should go through so many injectors.

    horrible hesitation when accelerating

    If it were the exhaust back pressure I would think that it would be more of a complete lack of power. But if it goes stupid, it could be... I would start with boost, what boost pressure do it have? If you dont have gauges then it is just a guess, so time to get at least a temporary gauge. Did...

    Question found new web site

    Well... Some stuff he is OK on... But in general there is a lot is mis-information. When he starts talkin' changing the oil in the HPOP, you better get the tin foil hat on. He might have seen aliens last night too.
