As mentioned the oil filter "cap wrench" between the old PF63 and new pf63A are completely different! I replace them on the 6.6 v8 gas, and the duramax 6.6 diesel. On the diesel it's mounted in a tight location. I bought the lisle oil filter cap wrench, worked perfectly on every old pf63 oil...
I've got the same mityvac! Pumps and vacs. Awesome for fitting transmissions with small dipstick/ fill tubes. Fluid goes straight in. Hand pump model and comes with lots of hoses.
Mobile pm on a Moffett brand truck mounted forklift! Kohler diesel engine. 8 quarts of 15w40 oil from Chrystal clean. (They deliver 55 gallon drums and take our used oil.
P1443 baldwin oil filter.
Baldwin fuel water separator
Many grease fittings! Valvoline red grease.
Oil came out like...
Fantastic. Thank you for sharing! I posted how I am a mobile truck technician and we regularly would buy dozens of the pf63 oil filters for the isuzu trucks with the 6.6 gas as well as the duramax diesel 6.6 liter.
Couldn't buy a pf63 suddenly and had to buy several pf63A. The duramax diesel...
Okay, I canceled the appointment for the $75 underbody pressure wash. Wish I could get out to the krown dealer for the salt eliminator wash.
Going to maybe see what chemical agents I can buy and drive 75 miles to a friend's house with a power washer. Where I live, I'm unfortunately in a rental...
It somewhat works, but it still chemically bonds to the metal. In addition I feel as if the water on salt activates the harmful effects!
Rhino truck coatings and plastic coats actually seal in rust and cause severe issues.
Oil based coatings are generally best as the block the harmful...
Good morning!
I have a 2011 Tacoma with a nice frame. The second gen tacoma faced some of the auto industries largest frame issues and there was a severe campaign (not a recall per say because they did this for 10 to 12 years) where they would replace whole frames for free.
My frame is in...
As mentioned just above I found lots of valvoline restore and protect in 0w20, 5w30, and 5w20 in walmart. No 5w30 valvoline extended protection but there was a empty spot on the shelf for it.
Went with 5w30 mobil 1 extended preformace instead. I plan to go 5000 miles. Also didn't see any shell...
Lots of restore and protect in 0w20, 5w20 ans 5w30 in walmart northern Michigan. What was kinda odd is there was no valvoline extended protection in 5w30. I was wanting to try it in my '11 tacoma, I have always stuck with mobil 1 or Castrol every synthetic oil change I've done.
Classic! That's super expensive. I'm a mobile truck and trailer technician. I'm constantly buying 14 ounce tube's of grease. I usually buy the red valvoline lithium complex for around $6 or7 a tube. It doesn't "sweat" as badly as some of the others. With a red oily substance that leaks out...
To sort of add to this with the first brands supply issues, I am a mobile technician. We work on a lot of semi/ heavy truck class 7 and 8 but also a lot of smaller vehicles that take an ac Delco PF63. The new 6.6 duramax and also the 6.6 v8 gas both use this filter. I bought 4 the other week...
I recall my local walmart had the "squeeze bag" quarts of valvoline 75w90 as well for a low price, which is awesome. They are super handy. I carry them on my service truck for my mobile jobs.
Walmart has had some great inventory for automotive fluids, some tools etc! Not saying it's perfect but...
