Opinion on Oil Drain Valve

Naw. At somewhere between 30 and 50 psi, that's stronger than a gravity feed.

 

the marriage of easy credit and marketing strategy has combined to keep most Americans working right up until they die. LOL

 

Not this Cat! October will be 7 years since I quit, I'm nearly 61. It's called NOT spending everything you have.

 

Yeah, I may regret buying that max care. Everything that was going to go wrong went wrong before 3/36. I did use the max care for a car rental, though. Except for a fuel module that was only a $100 fix (ironically, the same as my deductible) which went bad 3.7 years into ownership.

I'm sure when the dpf needs replaced, it will cost alot. But since I expect the truck to last 300-500 k, I guess it's cheaper than a new car or new gasser truck.

I'm done adding things to the truck. And I installed all of these add ins myself. So it was really just the cost of the items that I paid... no labor.

WAIT! I might need to replace my cloth seats with learher! Lolzzz

 

I've used the fumoto valves for years on all of my vehicles. Never had a problem.

 

Actually, all of my upgrades have been recommended by those on this forum. And I don't think any of them were paid endorsements.

 

New Cummins valve. #ad

 

if I woulda known you needed one of those new valves I would have mailed you the one I have in my toolbox

 

Everyone who has a Fumoto or Femco probably has one in their toolbox.

 

I really love the bypass filter I put on my diesel Jeep. Haven't gotten around to putting one on my truck, but since it's an early 2004, it's not as important as it was on the Jeep CRD w/EGR. For the truck I will use the full flow with integrated bypass. I tried those on my Jeep before I installed the FS2500; the UOA results were remarkably similar. For my Cummins there are at least 3 available: MicroGreen MG430-9; Baldwin BD7317 and FleetGuard LF9028.

Edit:
I am really not liking this new forum software, I hope they didn't pay anything for it...

 

the optimists of the diesel world threw thier drain plug away when they went to the fukijima drain plug. only the pessimists still have theirs. LOL
