    Okay getting my ducks in a row for some orders this week. One thing I also want to do which was mentioned earlier on in this thread was to put rear wheel spacers to make the rear wheels sit out the same amount as the front wheels. If I remember it's 2 inch wheel spacers? Will that affect anything?

    I am also going to be buying a 2000 escalade/Yukon Denali full center console for my truck. I know it doesn't help mechanically but it's for useable space and convenience.

    Well I installed the new PMD I bought from Leroy. I also ditched the old wire harness and used the harness from Leroy however I didn't use his heat sink because it was considerably smaller then the one I had and I already had mounted my older PMD with this heat sink in the grill. Now my old PMD...

    Okay I just got off the phone with the PO. Very nice guy. So in 2014 the PO replaced the oil cooler lines with OEM lines. He also used Rotella HD 15W-40 oil. He said he didn't replace the water pump or air box. He said the PO he got it from must have done that work. Should I still replace the...

    My truck doesn't run hot. What I meant was I've hear that the 6.5 engines get hotter then others. So no 20w50. So it either 10w-30 or 15w-40. Do many of you run synthetic oil?

    I don't know what kind of oil was used in her before and if she hasn't been running Synthetic oil for most of her life can I start using it now at 197k? What's the benefit of installing a FS2500 or Amsoil bypass filter? What purpose does it serve? Also will me a novice DIY mechanic be able to...

    As I've mentioned earlier in this thread. This will be my first diesel that I want to keep and fix up. With that in mind please understand I don't know which is the best oil to use. If you aren't a fan of rotella please tell me which oil you prefer and why. It will be helpful to me. As for me...

    Well as I mentioned last week I ordered a PMD kit from leroys and I just got it today. Come Monday I'm going to go get me some rotella 20w50 oil and a wix filter and do my first oil change. I found some Reciepts in the truck and the truck had a complete brake job a little over a year ago...
