A friend of mine has a Duramax that is stock but, he has installed a new guage package (from Edge, I believe) that indicates engine oil temps. We live in the Phoenix, AZ. area (1157' elevation) & he just towed his 24' travel trailer (about 6,000lbs.) up to the White Mtns. in eastern AZ. (9200'...

I have an '03 Dodge/Cummins with the NV-5600, 6-speed manual trans. with 78,000 miles on the truck. It's had numerous fluid changes. I'm thinking of changing the fluids, again, using the posted Red Line products. I posted my plans on the Turbo Diesel Register & got a reply back from a gentleman...

I recently purchased a new '09 Honda Civic EX with an automatic trans. This car comes with an Oil Monitoring System that requires an oil change when the oil downgrades to about 15%. The recommended oil is 5X20. I live in Phoenix, AZ. (HOT, desert conditions with some mountain driving)& am used...

My neighbor has an '06 Ford Powerstroke & tows a 42' Toyhauler in the mountains of AZ. He's running a conventional 15W-40 motor oil & on his last trip, the engine oil hit 270 degrees & engine temp was on its highest level, per the guage. He asked me if 270 degrees is more than the oil can...

I thought I had read that the new CJ-4 was NOT as robust an oil as the older CI-4+, was. Anyone know, for sure, if that is true, or not? I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to stock-up on the CI-4+, while it's still available. Like everyone else, I'd like to run the best, strongest...

Last night, I spoke with a friend that is a full-time RV'er. He called from Fargo, ND. & was telling me about the fuel mileage getting better on his older Ford Pick-up with a 460 engine, in it. He's getting 8-9 mpg's., now, towing a 31' traveltrailer. While in Phoenix, AZ., he added some...

I have an '03 Dodge/Cummins w/48,000 miles, on it. I don't do a lot of driving, especially with todays fuel costs, & I , also, have a '91 Dodge/Cummins to drive. I've been thinking of putting an Oilguard bypass system on the '03. Probably don't need one but, don't want to go through life without...

I just recently heard about the FS-2500 Bypass Filter & watched their video, which, was very impressive. However, I'm not an "expert" in Bypass Filtration. Could those of you familiar with the FS-2500 & the other systems available, give us a "comparison" of how well this unit works compared to...

I have an '03 Dodge/Cummins with the NV-5600, 6-sp. gearbox. This is a large, slow shifting trans. The major complaint about it is the "notchy" shifting characteristic. The explanation is the massive geartrain is slow to align for smooth gear changes. The brass synchro's just can't slow things...

I have a '91 & '03 Dodge/Cummins & live in the desert southwest (Phoenix, AZ.). Been thinking of changing to Schaeffer's oil & was considering the 9000. The reps., here, & dealer don't carry it & say that it is not necessary because of our warm climate. They seem to think that the main benefit...

One of the members at the Turbo Diesel Register tried Torco RTF in his '04 Dodge/Cummins, NV-5600 6-speed manual trans. He said it made a significant difference in the shifting quality of the rather notchy-shifting trans. I did a search & couldn't find anything on this product. Do any of you...

Does anyone have any experience with the Spinner ll Centrifuge? They say it's on millions of engines in the trucking industry and industrial uses. Just wondering if this is as good as "element" type bypass filters? I believe Doug Hillary (Australia) uses them on his over the road trucks. I...

Hi. I have an '03 Dodge/Cummins. Changed the oil at 36299 miles with 8303 miles on the Chevron Delo-400 CI-4 (not the new CI-4+). I, also, live in the hot & dusty desert (Phoenix, AZ.) & do some trailer pulling (7000+ lbs.) in the mountains. About 75% of those miles were with an AFE ProGuard-7...

I have an'03 Dodge/Cummins 3500 with an American Axle AA14-11.5. I installed a Mag-Hytec rear diff. cover in May '04. My questions pertain to the higher levels of lube recommended by M-H. The stock cover fill hole puts the fill leverl with the bottom, outside diameter, of the axle tubes. The...

I've been interested in the Oilguard system for my Dodge/Cummins. Talked to the dealer about it & he said "if anything goes wrong, your warranty is void" I called Daimler/Chrysler & their opinion was the same. I know about the 2 Subaru Engines/Amsoil Bypass story. Do you guys with bypass systems...

Has anyone heard of a Premo Refiner by-pass filter? I did a search and it didn't turn up anything. I'd appreciate any info. on this system. Thank You. Joe fihn

Hi, I've been useing Mystic JT-6, Multi-purpose, High-Temp.(RED), Grease for all my Wheel Bearing & chassis needs. I was led to believe that it was a very high quality grease, used by many of the trucking companies, here in Phoenix, AZ. I don't read much, on this forum, about Mystic products...

I have a friend with an '84 Ford F-250 w/ a 4-sp. stick shift. He recently had a new clutch installed by Mr. Clutch, here in Phoenix, AZ. The clutch "chatter's" upon engagement. He's had them install a second clutch, & still has the same problem. The trans. is hard to shift and has an audible...

I was just over at the Turbo Diesel Register.com, 3rd Gen. Engine & Trans. website. There is a thread entitled "another lube for NV-5600" in which "Gary-K7GLD" has a link to a post regarding his problems with Red Line MTL in his NV-5600. He had serious shifting problems where the trans. wouldn't...
