    08 Duramax LMM - 9,886 miles - Delo 15W-40

    9,886 miles on sample. 89,214 on truck. Oil and full flow filter changed. Amsoil bypass is also installed on truck, but bypass filter wasn't changed. Main reason I changed oil was because I needed to install a fumoto.

    Frantz O Ring - Order in Bulk - Where?

    Anyone know where I can order the Frantz square round o ring in bulk? I sent McMaster Carr one of my Frantz o rings to match up and they stated there wasn't a match for it. By the way, McMaster Carr is a pain to deal with. They lost my first o ring I sent to them, and it took them three weeks to...

    My Frantz Install Pics - Duramax Under the Hood

    I'm getting my pressure from the oil galley, and returning to my oil pan via a hollow bolt. I welded a bracket up and it's mounted to the side of the condenser. There are already two tapped and threaded holes there that I used to mount the bracket to.

    Frantz Bypass - Restrictor Orifice

    Why would it matter if the restrictor orifice was installed on the "in" or "out" port? Frantz recommends installing it on the inlet port, but every bypass I've seen has the restrictor orifice on the outlet port. I will be installing my Frantz tomorrow, and would prefer for the restrictor to be...

    07.5 Chevy DMax 13K on sample Rotella 10W-30 CJ-4

    Oil Analyzers goofed up on the mileage listed on the sample, along with sump capacity and a few other odds and ends. Anyway, the mileage on the sample was around 13K miles. The only thing that surprises me a little is the Fe at 24, but that still isn't cause for concern. Typically, the Duramax...

    Shell Rotella syn 5W-40 now in CJ-4

    http://www.shell.com/home/Framework?site...lasynthcj4.html The RTS CI-4+ formulation is one of the best low wear producing oils out there. I'd venture to say that the CJ-4 will follow suit. I noticed on the tech data sheet that the TBN is listed at 10.6, which is healthy for a CJ-4 oil.

    I need help....

    I'm baffled. I've installed close to 10 or so bypass filtration systems on different vehicles and all of them have worked as planned. I recently installed an Oil Guard on my truck and the canister is not heating up properly. The top is hot, but the last 4-5 inches is barely warm to the touch...

    07.5 Chevy DMax Castrol Tection 15W-40 2,461 miles

    Woo hoo! I was a little alarmed with my last oil analysis results because the fuel was at 5%. I went ahead and changed the oil and refilled. I installed the Cat fuel filter and had to prime the system with the last UOA that had the 5% fuel, so I wonder if that had anything to do with the fuel...

    Took my first sample of oil from my truck and sent it in. I had a higher than expected fuel percentage. I went ahead and dumped the oil and refilled with Castrol Tection 15W-40. The Castrol Tection was the only CJ4 oil on the shelves at the O'Reilly's in Hollister, MO.

I have a full install disk of Windows XP, but wondered if I could legally install it on two different computers? Also, will I run into any conflicts/problems with the current...
