the driver works for the vehicle, not the other way 'round.
I like that one, sort of like a good marriage.
I have a Franz by-pass filter that really helps to keep the oil clean & the cost of oil changes down. I just change the TP & add a quart. I have
10K on this oil & its just started to get dark. On my other diesels as soon as I change it & start it up it's dark. Mopar Man swears by this setup, so that's good enough for me.
I just changed my rad, rotted out, Ohio truck, poor thing, so I should be good for the coolant. Mine is not a daily driver, I use it for my farm, getting hay, grain, pulling my trailers. It stays in the garage most of the time. I have 188K on it & it's been throwing the code for my IP since I got it over 2 1/2 years ago w/ 164K. So I just keep putting Power Service in it to make sure it stay lubricated. It starts great, but I'm living w/ dead pedal in overdrive lockup under 55MPH. I do plan on running my own BioD too. Think I may need a gearator pump like an Air Dog Raptor first.
I just bought a FP gauge & a trans temp gauge and an a-pillar dual pod that I hope to get in soon. It also had a low pressure warning light when I bought it so I've been always keeping a eye on it.

250K on one set of tires? What kind? In this months Diesel Power there is an article on installing a VGT from a 071/2 6.7 into a 5.9. No more turbo lag & exhaust brake. Someday! Although I wouldn't think a common rail would have much if any lag, esp. a 6sp!
