Recently purchased an '01 F350 7.3 Powerstroke with 142,xxx miles. I don't believe it's ever had anything other than petro diesel it's entire life. I have an opportunity to use B50 biodiesel available from a local fuel station but want to know what the general consensus is. I understand that if...

Click on 'Engine', then 'View Cummins' for the link in my last post.

And then this from Dodge! http://www.ramtrucks.com/en/explore/ram_heavy_duty/#

Thanks for the replies! Should I post the biodiesel questions in the fuel forum?

Yep she runs fine on whatever the factory fill is. Not sure if that is 15w40 or 5w40. I considered a 10w40 as well . Shell offers Rotella in all three grades and they all are CES 20081. I'm interested in running B20 biodiesel which the manual states is acceptable yet when I contacted Dodge they...

Hello all, Last September my wife and I purchased a '13 Ram 2500. The purchase was primarily to pull our travel trailer as well as daily transport for the wife and kids. The truck pulls the trailer beautifully and the wife loves the truck, perfect. I was just reading the post from the guy with...

Whoops, sorry to post this here! I will check out a Napa filter, thanks Finklejag!

Well I am/was ready to do the first oil change on the new Xterra (2011) and looking at the oil filter looks like I may have the wrong filter for my engine. The part number is 15208-65F0C but can someone tell me if this is the correct part for my Xterra? Thanks in advance....

I was thinking Redline 75w-90 in both diffs too. Maybe before 10K miles though based on your experience?!

Well I ordered some Pennzoil Ultra Euro L 5w-30 thinking it was API SM rated....only to discover it is not! I chose this oil because it is thicker at operating temperature than its non-Euro counterpart and I figured if I'm towing that might be beneficial. I'd like to use an oil that meets...

I realize there are lots of choices for 5w-30 oils but I can get Pentosin High Performance 5w-30 through work pretty cheaply so that's what I was thinking about using. Boomer, you said the stuff that came out of your diff looked really bad, that's what I read on one the the Xterra forums...

The wife and I were fortunate to find a great deal on a new 6 speed manual Xterra this weekend. The owners manual states a 5W-30 grade engine oil with an SM rating, pretty simple right? Any suggestions on what works best? The vehicle will be driven by my wife mostly (which means WOT....a lot )...

Thank you guys for your responses.

The car is a plain Jane 1976 911S currently running 205/55x16 Continental Sport Contact 2's on 16"x6" Fuchs. I've experimented with 16"x7" Fuchs out back with 225/50x16 tires (SC fitment) but get light tire contact in the wheel housing (when cornering hard or hard acceleration) even though the...

These guys are just down the road from Mill Creek.....http://www.overlakeoil.com/ and are great to deal with. Ask for Jim or Paul.

Can you post the alignment specs?
