I met my wife on an online personals ad. Both our families know how we met and have no problem with it. I have a few co-workers that have also married from online dating.

I would think if you used a ZeroStart heater with pump it would be most beneficial. As this heater would circulate your coolant instead of the water jacket heater that works off of convection. Now my view on this is it should reduce wear and fuel contamination of the oil. I don't have hard...

Hirev I've been using Evans NPG+ in my Duramax Diesel for 2 years now. I would have to say it works great for all temperatures. I have used it in -10*F to 100*F weather with no problems. I can work the engine and never see the temp gauge spike like friends with Dex-Cool. This stuff cools great...

Stinky Peterson You are right it's the ELC from CAT. TooSlick I have ran 900 hours with numbers as good as the 600 hr sample. This was one of the worst 600 hr samples that I've had. Thanks for the Info.

This is a 2000 KW T800 Quad Axle Dump that runs Cat filters and Cat Spinner Bypass filter. The truck has 185K miles on it. Truck has been running Amsoil 15W-40 AME oil. Here's the data from the last two samples first sample has 630 hrs. the second one has 257.5 hrs. I have contacted my dealer...

I've got a 2003 Liberty (KJ) 3.7L V6 that I just mounted a Dual Bypass Kit in. I don't have the tow package or the viscous coupling fan. I mounted the unit behind the hood latch between the engine and electric fan. I have about 1/2" on the front and back of the filters before touching anything...

I like to run my Espar Pre-heater for 30-45 minutes which usually warms the engine to 180 degrees before starting. So I usually get in fire up wait about 30 seconds then start moving slowly. The first few miles try not to accelerate fast or rev the engine. This is in a 6.6L diesel with Amsoil...

I have been using it for 16months and 20K miles with no problems. You still need a thermostat to regulate flow and temperature. You can run a hotter thermostat but like you said if you get to hot with a computer controlled vehicle it will be negative. You will need to move your fan temperature...

Guys not trying to sell anyone anything or do I sell anything. But I use Evans NPG+ in my 2001 K2500HD Duramax Allison. This was a simple pour in solution no need to upgrade any equipment but the pressure cap. I have used this for 16 months with no heating or over heating problems. It actually...

I was wondering what filter is longer version of the SDF-64? Where are you finding this cross reference for the Amsoil filters?

westex39, It sounds like you pushed the TS123 filter in past the mesh screen that should divide the two halves of the air box. I have been running this filter since 1999 on my 5.3L and have moved it to my 2001 6.6L Duramax Diesel. All of my oil analysises and friends who run this filter have...

BOBISTHEOILGUY, You missed one thing about OTRs and that is they don't typically change their oil by miles as much as they change it by engine hours. Do to idling.

Can you over cool engine oil? I was wondering about installing an aftermarket oil cooler along with the factory oil cooler to lower oil temperatures. I understand that lower oil temperatures prolong the life of oil, correct?This would also help to add more volume to the system. The only problem...

MolaKule & msparks, This was Amsoil ASL 5W-30. He ran this oil for one year and has dumped it. This was the first run of Amsoil in this truck. I will let him know about the air filter not working. Thanks for looking at his oil analysis. We are still wondering why the Fe is so high. I wish he...

I am posting an oil analysis results for a friend who doesn't have internet access. Can you give him some input on these. Thanks 2000 F150 5.4L Amsoil 5W-30 w/SDF-11 and K&N air filter 12,433 miles on oil/ 31,127 miles on truck GLY COL/ NEG Water/ Fuel/ Vis./ 12.0 Solids/ tr OXD/ 26.7 NOX/...
