    Little different with the 14 bolt 10.5" the exploder wheel is internal (Les is probably right G80 GOV LOCK)

    14 bolt pinion gear

    Open diff. You'll need a gearset and some new bearings throughout. Your magnet has all kinds of swarf stuck to it. Gearsets are one unit. Not mix and match.

    Best batteries for -50°F weather?

    To the original poster, that's a tall order for a IDI diesel anything with a minus 50 temp. Go old school with a pan of charcoal under the oil pan and wrap the engine. Maybe. Cranking RPM is your friend. Hook a welder/genset to it?

    Oil sampling 5.3 engine

    Burp the oil drain. Just hang onto the drain plug, screw it back in. That's where the swarf is.. (the stuff you need to test).

    CDR hose routings

    I chose to delete the CDR in favor of a modified road draft catch can. Link below. Post #15. It's an option. A little fab required. https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/cdr-routing-options.40117/#post-456065

    Bolt holes in starter

    Starter bolts have a 'knurling' where they pass through the aluminum starter. Often a cylinder block will strip out. A garage fix here in the U.S. is to run a threading tap into the block. The closest size is a 7/16-14 tap-bolt. It will follow the stripped hole perfectly. Sometimes the starter...

    Never been done before - TSP CNC ported heads

    This is a first for IDI Detroit 6.2-6.5 isn't it? CNC with a hand blend is the way. Nice work!

    Fuel additives

    Agreed. Diesel fuel now is a blend of all the 'above' at best. Never know what you'll get. Centrifugal separation like the WVO method? (To get a purer petroleum product...?) After all this stuff at the gas stations is stored out of sight, out of mind. The best we can do is control the water.

    Fuel additives

    But still it does not mix. Suspension ASSUMES the fuel is kept moving. Water and oil will always separate at rest. Water and oil cannot mix.

    Chain link fence removal

    When in doubt, C4

    Fuel additives

    Keep the water out and you've saved yourself from the witch's brew. Control the water. Adding lube will hurt the fuel system until you control the water. Water cannot, will not, mix with oil, petroleum, diesel, gas whatever. Basic chemistry.
