    ATF added to brake fluid. What, specifically, are the implications for ABS?

    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/mixing-brake-fluid-atf.194066/ ATF and brake fluid dont mix, ATF floats on top, so that 1 ounce of ATF you added did no harm to anything. Simply suck it out and put in Brake Fluid. No need to replace any rubber parts.

    Ford tractor 8N oil canister converted to TP filter

    https://www.cumminsfiltration.com/sites/default/files/pdf_archive/pdfs/product_lit/americas_brochures/972957.pdf I have put one of these new Baldwin Vortex filters on in place of the standard full flow oil filter in my cummins Ram truck. Note the cummins fleetguard venturi filter uses those...

    Ford tractor 8N oil canister converted to TP filter

    If that was the only filter on it, I completely agree. An engine should always have a full flow standard oil filter. My 1962 Buick had a spin on full flow oil filter. If an engine only has a bypass filter, what good is that! Unfiltered oil is circulating to the bearings etc... If it had a full...

    Ford tractor 8N oil canister converted to TP filter

    That Ford cannister was designed for a Fram C3P type stacked plate filter. C3 filter used pleats looked similar to any filter, C3P used stacked plates in tin can full of holes. But several years ago, Fram decided to change from a 2 micron design with horizontal stacked cardboard plates to...

    How do you know when to definitively change a transmission spin on filter

    Up to 15 PSI after another 70 miles of driving, so the filter is cleaning out some debris in the trans fluid.

    How do you know when to definitively change a transmission spin on filter

    Figured out where to put the trans spin on filter, and it is under truck on the frame. I could have force fit this next to cooler, but I was thinking, I dont want ATF dripping down if I change the filter. I drilled and tapped for three 1/4-20 grade 8 bolts. And that was TOUGH! Drilling is ok...

    7 yrs ago, algae could be turned into oil at around $5 per gallon

    I agree we have no need to look at any other fuel besides fossil fuels, into these others, but of course that is not where the politics wants to go. They want green energy carbon neutral and lately don't seem to care about the high economic costs as they view this as an existential crisis, these...

    7 yrs ago, algae could be turned into oil at around $5 per gallon

    Plastic into fuel seems better to me than algae into fuel. Article notes this bad thing about algae into oil. They call this kind of thing a scam. A big criticism of corn ethanol over the years is that the process of growing it requires so much fertilizer, water and other energy inputs that by...

    If the government triples your fuel costs for GND legislation, will you vote them out and demand they change the laws?

Algae into oil never going to make it to markets...

    Did I over fill my Ford 6R80 transmission ?

    Converter drainback is minimal. There is a check valve in cooler line coming out the hot converter port that runs to the cooler. Idea is start and go, no need to wait a few seconds for torque converter to refill itself from the oil pump. For some reason, lots of trans dont pump oil thru cooler...

    Remote transmission filter newbie questions

    I just redid my OEM AT cooler by adding another OEM style Dorman cooler next to it. I used single flare. the tubing is aluminum and flares and bends easily. You dont need inverted flare for this. You dont need double flared tubing except for brake lines (high pressure safety issue) blocked the...

    How do you know when to definitively change a transmission spin on filter

    I brazed in a brass fitting into the pan for a drain. Tried soldering but was not good, too loose lets solder run out. I suppose JB Weld could have done this too. Simply cut a hole and screwed in the brass fitting. A steel fitting brazed on the pan would have been better and easier. But this is...

    small engine bypass filtering.

    The correct oil hole size for a bypass filter is 1/16". I have the same black Motorguard filter. You can use a TP roll inside. Needs to be slimmed down n the outside, and I 'bush' it on the inside with center tubes slit from old TP rolls. And I use the original plastic filter holders. It works...

    Maybe, but the code is unpublished. Planning to add a trans temp gauge, Exhaust temp gauge, boost gauge in the cabin using a 4 hole mount that fits over the mirror. which leaves me 1 more gauge hole for something else. I just pulled off pan and it is super clean inside. Also going to drill a...
