    Transmission Filtration from DieselSite

    Yeah you are right...I meant By-pass filtration. I'll mod the question now so I don't confuse anyone. I just bought the set of filters and tranny oil to swap out. If the advice from you guys is I can't get a solid baseline tranny oil change by myself, guess I'll be bringing the oil and filter...

    Transmission Filtration from DieselSite

    Transmission By-Pass Filtration from DieselSite What do you experienced heads say about Transmission bypass filtration. I just stumbled on this at Diesel Site. I mean, I'm thinking it can't hurt, but should I lay my hard earned dollars down for this now? Or something else I should do first...

    Maiden Maintenance Voyage on 6.0

    Ok, son picked up Fleetrite ELC Premixed 50/50...wrong stuff, right? Cost $16 a gallon. They also have a Fleetrite ELC Unconcentrated. At least that is what they told me on the phone. I'll have to go see for myself. I would have THOUGHT unconcentrated IS the 50/50 but they explained to me...

    Maiden Maintenance Voyage on 6.0

    UPDATE: My Amsoil BMK21 unit showed up last night :-). I need to go to Lowes to buy a piece of angle iron and a new drill so I can make some holes in it for the mounting bracket. Love having reasons to buy new tools. Son's on the way to International to pick up coolant.

    Maiden Maintenance Voyage on 6.0

    so as I'm learning...these are the same filters as Ford originals? I know, just say it one more time for the cheap seats pls. International is just 10 miles down the road from me, so would be an easy drill....next time. Everything is on order now for Ford originals.

    Coolant Filtration

    Just ordered the Coolant Filtration system from the Diesel Site.com. Looking forward to getting this kit installed and seeing the difference. Just curious, is there any filtration going on now prior to install? Is this a bypass or the only filtering? Thanks for comments.

    Underbody Rust

    I'm planning on attacking underbody rust. Thinking about using SEM products. Specifically, something to stop the rust and then paint it all black. Anyone have any experience with these? I'd like NOT to have to clean off rust so thinking the rust stopper would hopefully do the trick to stop...

    Maiden Maintenance Voyage on 6.0

    So armed with info I have learned the past few days (on this site I might add), I'm embarking on my maiden F-250 maintenance voyage. I bought 4 gallons of Synthetic 5w/40 oil (Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel), and got me a Motocraft Oil filter at Walmart. I'll still need to order the fuel filters and air...

    Amsoil oil bypass bmk11

    Amsoil oil bypass filtration bmk11 I was watching the videos at powerstrokehelp.com. It recommended an oil bypass filtration system by amsoil kit model number bmk11. Appears this kit is no longer offered. Appears the kit now is a bmk21. Any one have any info on this? Appreciate it.

    Question Powerstrokehelp.com

    Where do I start? I did download the Bible, and am reading that. I'm thinking my starting point should be to baseline and make sure I have all the right filters and fluids. Frankly I don't know what is in there now. What about some checklist? Appreciate your insight. I stumbled on the...
