    Lucas Oil Anyone?

    as above, a chemical reaction occurs with lucas and certain oil formulations, not all, under pressure to create excessive foaming and accelerated metal wear. not sure who would gamble on this. I only use quality synthetics in gear cases. always curious why auto$one pushes it so much. I did use...

    Varying Electrical output

    I agree, clean and check everything. one note of major caution, if you do need a new alternator do not, DO NOT get one from autozone. I have gone through 4 "gold" series. bad bearings mainly, but others here have noted as I, as they warm up voltage goes to 12.8v. pour cold water on em and...

    new to diesels and this page

    More holes in front bumper?

    I would not see any problem, as you are not restricting or diverting air away from intended intake areas. Nor would there be any reason to channel air to the radiator as your placement will not affect air pressure or flow near the center of the truck. it sounds like everything you want to do...

    att will give a small percent improvement, major advantage in better flow, less back pressure. I really doubt its gonna give you substantial increase-definitely a good investment. what is status on injectors and pump.
