Just saw this video. Thought it was worth sharing. It is about Bullet Proofing your engine with an update kit. Has part numbers as well.

Thoughts? Comments?

Seen the video. Adept Ape is one smart cookie. Definitely worth investing in protecting those injectors. IMHO I believe the IFS Kit is more crucial than the CAT fix. However, you don't need to buy the IFS Kit, which is nearly $1,000. It's made of Donaldson components and hydraulic hoses which you can source yourself and buy online for about $400.

Do you have a parts list and/or another resource telling me more about it?

What Is “IFS” and what does the IFS kit do?

 

[NDT]

The filter kit makes sense for fleets that have extended oil change intervals. We should be doing 3000 mile/annual oil changes which should mean spotless oil needed for the heui pump.

Injection Filter System..... or something like that; if I recall right. The filter kit is designed to protect the fuel injection system when the HEUI pump fails. W/out it sends tiny shrapnel thru the whole system and makes a not so simple pump fail...... a far more expensive engine fail.

You make your own hydraulic hoses at your local shop.

To the point @coachgeo made, the concern isn't dirty oil. You should be changing it regularly and keeping it clean. The concern is the HEUI Pump. It's not a matter of "if" it fails, it's a matter of "when" it fails. When it does and the inside grenades, the IFS Kit prevents the shrapnel from torpedoing your injectors. With this setup, the damage is limited to flushing your hydraulic lines and changing the filter. It can be done on the road in 30 minutes, and you're on your way, provided you change the HEUI Pump too.
