    fuel/coolant filter pics

    This is a ~25,000 mile run. The glue had partially failed but the filter itself was intact. It's a Autozone filter 3/8 inline fuel filter. Honestly I only replace it because the plastic tees blew dissolved on me this afternoon on way to to work. 96ish degrees here in Central Fl today. I had...

    FS 5w30 1k miles 04 2500hd 6.0 (Failed) 258k mile

    Here is the analysis from Blackstone. For My 2500hd which lost oil pressure. I was hoping to find out definitively if there was coolant in the sample. But considering the visible metal in the oil I'm pretty pleased. I will drop the pan and pull the pump and go from there. Maybe there is hope for...

    Valvoline VO58 Cut open

    Here are some pics of a Valvoline VO58 with about 500 miles on it from Valvoline quick lube place. I swapped it out for a larger L25288. It's of off the 06 2500hd below. A small filter for a 6.0 imo. But overall looks well made, the base plate is very thick.

    Why does Ford Premium Gold get so much respect?

    While reading in the UOA section about 6.0 diesel problems. I thought "if this were Dexcool". With all of the problems coolant related failures of the 6.0, why are there so many fans of it? With all of the plugged oil coolers, why doesn't Premium Gold get the ridicule it deserves?

    Anyone seen Maxlife Antifreeze?

    I emailed Valvoline about its availability and if its a 2eha coolant. I haven't seen it here in FL and they indicated I would probably have to order it through my local supplier if not in stock. Valvoline also said it's not a 2eha coolant.

    Magnefine as coolant bypass filter?

    Has anyone used a Magnifine as a coolant filter? Looking at one I just picked up form Napa they look like they may be up to the task, at least externally. I know they will cost more than a spin on over time but all of my vehicles, even the 7500, are cramped for space and I would like add coolant...

    What grease for a Isuzu diesel water pump?

    Hey Gang, I just noticed a grease fitting on the water pump of the c7500 in my sig. It is listed nowhere in my manual (thanks GM). I put some high temp JT-6 in there. But was curious what everyone else thought, maybe a marine grease maybe better? I'm pretty annoyed about no mention about this...
