Btw, I am not saying it will work, just the comparable values of other things we have used as fuels in these trucks. And considering that 100% motor oil seems to work good for a number of people (not all), this oil might be within range. I wouldn't try it as a straight run of it though!

Oh, and the 205°C flash point of the oil you are talking about equals to 401°F. That puts it in the range of motor oil for flash point.

Flash points for a few fuels. All temps in F° Diesel Fuel (1-D) 100 Diesel Fuel (2-D) 125 Diesel Fuel (4-D) 130 Fuels Oil No.1 100 - 162 Fuels Oil No.2 126 - 204 Fuels Oil No.4 142 - 240 Gear oil 375 - 580 Motor oil 420 - 485

Pre-turbo mounted.

RE: Re: RE: EGT temps at idle? Took it out for a test run. One mountain pass to the next valley, 5-6 miles up, then 5-6 miles down, 7% grade. Had the pump CRANKED up for the trip over, it was cruising at 900° - 1000° and 5-6 psi boost at 54-55 mph on the flat ground. Started the hill and it...

I cranked the pump up. If I hit the throttle and let it rev to about 2200 or so, I see a little bit of boost build up. I will be taking it for a test drive in an hour or two.

Yeah, I know the drill on diesels, but I wasn't ready for how COLD this one runs. Even idling it at 1200 to 1500 rpm barely raised the temps. This is another reason why I REALLY like having exhaust brakes. They warm the motor up faster, and are good to use for prolonged idling. Let alone the...

What was your overall height for your setup there?

Ok, I put the thermocoupler in, EGT gauge installed in the cab, and while at idle I am only getting around 200°f or so. When I rev it up, I can barely get it above 300°. And high idle of around 1200 to 1500 rpm is only around 250° or so. That normal? Or is my gauge bad (thermocoupler probe is...

RE: Emergency flashers on Duece Download the manual is a good start. But getting a real hard copy of the -10 (operator's manual), and keeping it IN the truck at all times helps even more ;)

As long as the trailer is rated for at least 20k lbs, you should be alright. When I got my last three trucks, one was on a trailer, and the other two drove home. 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 DRW.

In my other truck I am running about 40 gallon WMO and a mix of diesel and gas for the rest. Runs great actually. I should run out there right now while it's still cold and see how it starts (did fine at 30° the other day).

Ok, I need to make a trip soon and want to take my truck that has the FDC bypassed, but also want to run WMO to save on fuel costs. I know the motor will still burn straight WMO if I put it in there, but what would be about the right ratio of WMO to gas to get fairly close to the density of...

Funny, I was thinking about doing this with a m818 for a nice dual purpose setup ;)

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Why does one truck Funny part of this is, my wife's truck will be the nicely restored truck. And it has the -1D motor with the D turbo. BUT, she wants the truck to really whistle! I guess it will be more impressive driving in parades, etc. I wouldn't say mine whistles THAT...

RE: Re: RE: Why does one truck Hmm, I went and looked again, the quieter one is actually a 1988 motor, NOT an 1978. And it is definitely a lot quieter as far as the whistle goes. Tempted to pull both turbo's and examine them. After that, polish and clean them up (inside for performance, not...

RE: Why does one truck The exhaust housing on the D turbo is wide. Whereas the C turbo narrows down noticeably. Search and you will see plenty of pictures on this. Both exhausts seem tightly mounted.

RE: Why does one truck I don't think these even have those. And yeah, I pulled the silencer off my dodge as well.

RE: Why does one truck No idea on mileage as it looks like the louder truck has newer speedo and tach.
