you are wrong about the 6.2 diesel. the old 350 diesel was a gas motor converted over. but the 6.2 and 6.5 were designed by detroit diesel as diesel motors. i have a 6.5 with 130,000 miles. gets good mileage at 16-18. has plenty of power to pull stuff. parts are easy to find. my personal...

no those arent what i had in mind. im referring to Summit Racing, out of Tallmadge, Ohio. They started selling some oil filters with their label on them. www.summitracing.com

so who makes the summit racing oil filters? the specs on them dont look too bad.

well we've been lookin at these some more. i like the 5w50 a little better than the 20w50 cause the 5w has a CF rating and the 20w only has a gas rating. What does the #702 straight 50 have for a rating? the website doesnt have a tech sheet for that one. same with the #107 and #110 straght 50...

anybody know a good diesel water pump lubricant? i have looked at the redline diesel water wetter but it doesent talk about lubricating at all.

thanks for all the feedback. im pretty sure he is leaning towards a 50 weight. i have used the #700 15w40 in the past and have loved it, it is just a pita tryin to get it where i live. i think it would be great if he would go with the #700, that way he only has one oil for his trucks, tractors...

my friend is putting a new motor in his dodge pulling truck after blowing the old motor up this spring. he has always ran rotella in the past but he wants to run schaeffers in the new motor. anybody got any opinions on a good oil for pulling? i know a lot of tractor and truck pullers use a...

i have the same engine and have never had a turbo problem and i pull alot. but i let it cool down and i watch the pyro and i have a more open exhaust to lower temps. ive used delo 400, rotella t, pennzoil longlife conventionals and have had good luck with all.

well that is definately good to know. thanks.

Anybody usin the Castrol Agri oils? i got a job at Royster clark and they sell them. http://www.castrol.com/liveassets/bp_internet/castrol/castrol_usa/STAGING/local_assets/downloads/0-999/1617.PDF it doesnt look too bad. the site says that it is hydrocracked group 2 base stocks. tbn is 12...

ditto on the ATF i just changed my oil from the pennzoil longlife to the rotella dino 15w40 and can defintaly say that the rotella is much quieter at startup. and oil pressure builds sooner.

we use this stuff in our IH tractors and have had no problems. about 6 months ago i drained the dexcool out of my pickup and put this stuff in and have been very pleased with it since it no longer needs topping off. i would have to topoff the tank about every month with the dexcool. i have a...

the cause was determined to be one of the rod bolts broke. im sure by not changin the oil it wouldnt have made it to 175000 miles, but you cant tell me that by runnin amsoil or redline or any other oil that is expensive as heck over rotella would have saved this from happening. what does...

in my application the wix didnt look any stronger or sturdier than the purolator or fram.

more and more i am realizing that what oil you have in your vehicle doesnt really matter. for instance, the other day when my buddies cummins came apart, there aint an oil on the planet that will stop a rod from snapping or from the rod bolt breaking. the broken rod then proceeded to punch two...

my buddy has a 94 IDI and he was runnin rotella t 15w40 5000 miles and on his first analysis, blackstone said that he went to long and should have went closer to 3500. this might be different with delo or something else though and your truck might be better in shape than his.

wix will be more expensive then the purolator on most applications. for me it is a 10 dollar difference.

i have had this feeling in the past too. i think my truck was quieter on delo than it is now on pennz ll when i start it in the mornings.

the owner of the local pump shop says that the best thing to run in those trucks is rotella t dino. he has customers come in and complain that there truck is runnin like crap. he changes the oil and it fixes the problem half of the time he said. some oils have better/more anti foamants and that...

dont waste your money on synthetic in a dodge cummins. my buddy runs 12,000 mile oci's with rotella t dino and has had no problems.
