Does anyone have a way to look up donaldson filters by size? These look like they'd be worth a shot. https://www.donaldson.com/en-us/engine/filters/products/air-intake/replacement-filters/donaldson-blue-filters/ I'm going to try calling their customer service line to see if they can look them...

So I tried without the filter housing, and it seemed to help, though i was only getting ~10-11 psi vs usually I can hit 12-13, but egts didn't seem awful. So I cut the bottom of the filter housing out, and it seemed good for about the first 90 miles (I cleaned the filter too FWIW) but then I...

Awesome, I'll report back when I get a chance to try it out.

I'll try running without the can and see what it does, I'm guessing you're right though. If that works then I'll cut out the hump. Are you using the 7" or 9" filter? Either way it really doesn't seem possible that the multi can out flow the 7" one that I have.

Probably a long shot on this, but any updates on the test? I also tried this filter initially it seemed to work alright but after driving ~ 30 miles egts started to climb, boost dropped, and I triggered the air filter indicator. The 5.9 should definitely pull more air, so I'm surprised i had...

Yeah I'm not so concerned about draining and replacing, but I don't have anything to filter to burn it. So then I'm just stuck with more waste oil sitting around lol. Small problem though. I'll give it a shot and report back.

Haha I'm hearing ya. My main concern is the pour point of the sae 40, but i suppose if its double digit negative i can just slap some pan heaters on the trans and tcase.

I'm a little worried how that would work when its below zero haha. Based off the the chart posted on page 1 75 or 80w - 90 is probably my best bet for all around usefulness. Maybe I'll see if bomgaars will take the 40 sae back without a receipt.

I guess that's a fair point.. I didn't keep the receipt so i guess i may as well try it in the trans. Tcase i might just go straight to 75/90.

My trans has 80/90 in it now, I'm leaning towards sticking with that or going 75/90 for better winter shifting. It shifts fine now, aside from being sluggish in the cold. I thought the viscosity was lower on the SAE 40 when i bought it, but after finding this thread and researching more mfg...

Well i bought SAE 40 ND last week planning to change my transmission and tcase fluid to it, but after finding this thread I'm not so sure. Anyone else have more input on the topic?

Not sure how much of a difference the rockers would make, but I swapped to one of the 4le-354s and it hurt the low end performance, it was just too big for a "stock" LDT (I do have the pump turned up). When cruising around at 2000 rpm it did alright, but really my 3ld-305 does just as well. I'm...

Looks like a M54, not sure if that flatbed is something stock though.

I picked a pair of these in the spot variation to go along with the flood version that I already had. They are bright and hold a nice beam, the tree line in the picture below is ~150 yards away. The first picture is the low beams for comparison.

They're only 24V.

^ And an EGT gauge, definitely worth bypassing it.

Probably about the same stuff I'd imagine. I'm not sure if there is a better way to cut it, but I used a sawzall which didn't work all that well in my opinion.

I put 5/8" rubber mat meant for livestock trailers on my floor and that seemed to help a lot. I still need to get some lighter stuff to put on the firewall though.

We'll just call it preventative maintenance then! haha

Oh yes definitely, I find myself making excuses to start it up and do something. They're also a lot of fun to work on.
