    So, why do you drive a diesel?

    Depends on the diesel. New. No way. Costs too much and far too complex. Naturally aspirated. Meh. Gutless but at least they will run. This platform is great for equipment like tractors and generators. Turbo direct injected. Now we are starting to get interest. But not once DEF enters...

    APP blues

    In addition to echoing the comments to get a live PID reader / monitor, have a thought about that sight-unseen deal... While understanding the regret with this purchase's outcome, no need to completely avoid future remote purchases. Consider taking a look at escrow agents and paying the...

    Mobil 1 15W40 Full Synthetic Diesel Oil

    Did y'all color inside the lines or what...! Forget putting a DMax into another truck or SUV. Been-Done. DMax in a '50s long body Cadillac convertible. Or '60s DeVille convertible. ;)

    Mobil 1 15W40 Full Synthetic Diesel Oil

    Ummm... Don't forget about socialism. It's already here. But that is not a topic that we want to dig into lest we upset or elected officials for letting the secret out ;) Derailment in only 7 posts. Impressive :D Methinks that the friend definitely was victim of a communism byproduct...

    General Motors' massive parts catalog is now online for your shopping pleasure.

    Ferd did the same thing in terms of creating an online portal for customers to order direct. Recently needed a new engine. Called Jasper and the other go-to shops for a rebuild and they were all COVID stocked (read: none in-hand and seriously back-ordered by maybe months, maybe never)...

    Where are all the tunes for lbz street/race

    And not to mention the EPA making a new account on a site asking for help when the intent is to flush out people. Point is, the online community has either gone offline or stopped as nobody wants to be the little fish that gets turned into an example. Really is too bad as while the intent of...

    Or the first to give it the Carolina / Cali squats 🤮

    Actual, honest, real world MPG from your 6.5

    Unless those A/T tires are absolutely necessary, consider going with H/T for the next set for an instant 10% increase in mileage. I run H/T Load Es on the pickups and used them on the Burb. Never had a bit of trouble with the tires doing their job whether it was through mud at the dump /...

    Best overall diesel engine oil winter vs summer

    Ok, now that we know how to spot a virgin... While this would have been nice to know some time ago, now that I know better, am not sure whether a battle-hardened jaded one is better though. ;) Late to the conversation, but... Back to one of the early comments. Use caution when taking a high...

    2017 F350 6.7 Powerstroke Transmission Fail

    Have not really closely followed this platform. Know only enough that if it has the CP4, it is no different than the DMax in terms of spinning the roulette chamber. There is a bulletproofing product available and it is ~$1K (if you can get it). Am guessing that cost is is worth it compared to...

    Diff between 1995 GMC BURB 1500 5.7 6 lug and a 1995 GMC BURB 2500 5.7 6 lug

    CompNine gives the RPO codes and their matching description (same as found via online RPO lists and descriptions). If you have the glove-box sticker with the RPO codes, it should match what CompNine returns; only difference is that CompNine will show the code's description which saves a lot of...

    Diff between 1995 GMC BURB 1500 5.7 6 lug and a 1995 GMC BURB 2500 5.7 6 lug

    Consider getting the VIN and spending $10 on CompNine<dot>com CompNine is able to getl the as-built list. Pull the as-built for both vehicles and compare. Mystery solved :)

    Blue paper towel

    Am seeing multiple reports that echo Will's experience. Turbo is the Holy Grail for this engine: adds power *and* improves fuel economy.

    Blue paper towel

    But if we still want to kick around that water treatment some more... Now is looking like a good excuse to install a WMI system. Get to clean the engine with a bonus of boosting power :D

    If it was three full years, probably could have simply told them to go away (via certified letter) as it is likely that the applicable statute of limitations had run-out (would need to verify with a locally licensed attorney though ;) ). Have seen similar scenarios, but they are rarity...

    Yup. All too easy to work out a plan with the provider as Doctors really do not want to put an account out for collection. But some people are just stubborn, too smart for the rest of us, will fight anything, and act like it is somebody else's fault, so the medical provider esentally gets...

    Medical bills are a funny thing. Nobody has any problem with getting the service to save their life, but makes me wonder whether they would balk if given the bill ahead of time. Or better yet, offer them a second opinion of how much a Mortician costs instead of the Doctor. And, Yes, I get it...

    Banks latest build has wild looking headers. Also cool mention about cerakote and new color options.

    Neat video. But the question I have is whether the main focus was on headers, or a custom exhaust manifold. Based on the narrative, I am leaning toward custom manifold as there is no mention of measuring exhaust pulses and only measuring to make sure the tubes fit. For headers. I'd expect to...
