diesel is treated in a way more aggressive manner than gasoline, for winter it's usually blended with #1 Diesel which is very closely related to Kerosene. It flows and doesn't "gel" up near as quickly as regular #2 diesel fuel. Typical #2 is said to begin gelling at +20 degress F. Some blends...

No offense to anyone contacting FCA, but put yourself in their shoes. They aren't going to tell you the truth, have you ever bought a vehicle? I assume so, I've yet to meet an honest car salesman, I guarantee that mentality runs to the top. If they say they have no idea and it doesn't look good...

should probably clarify what you mean here. There is engine oil pans and transmission oil pans, I'm assuming you mean transmission oil pan. If so benefits are usually a little added capacity, and a better heat dissipation

It's not going to take as much time as we think. Where it leaves the EcoDiesel I don't know. He did order a media blackout and a lot of other very beneficial prohibitions and things of that nature at the EPA, 2 pipeline executive orders, amongst other things. He's getting stuff rolling, love it...

The Trump administration is meeing with the big 3 today, could be interesting, I doubt it ends up in a fix for the ecodiesel's woes, but it could get the ball rolling

TC Diesel owns a diesel shop, I'm sure when he tore apart the engine it was out of shear curiosity, probably had it back together in a few hours or days depending on how big of a priority it was

I don't know if it's dead, but this horse is getting a beating. I hope the best for the platform. I really like mine. That being said I'll get rid of it in a heartbeat if buy backs end up being the result. By the time ground is covered and paperwork figured out the new F-150's will be available.

I figured as much, probably need a much larger catalyst to accomplish this via urea

Everyone except GM which already had a relatively large displacement engine to begin with bumped up their displacement to meet coming and current emissions standards cummins went from 5.9 to 6.7, powerstroke went from 6.0 to 6.4 to 6.7. I remember when GM was designing a diesel for the 1/2 tons...

TC, what would happen in your opinion if we brought our diesel fuel up to the standards of many other countries, with a cetane rating of 60 instead of the american standard of around 40? Would EGR still be such a pain in the butt if the combustion process was cleaner overall? Would DPF's get...

Maybe if a patch could have fixed it they would have already sent that out, but that patch will probably have to be verified by the EPA first for at least a couple weeks or months. Reality has set in for me, I'm just along for the ride at this point, however I will not automatically assume total...

the engine option is still available online

it hasn't been the easiest to figure out who makes the factory filter, but I do believe they are made by MANN, they make a lot of OEM stuff for European engine manufacturers

https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3019857 https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/2661795/1 I want this argument to be over, and near as I can tell your boy 540 rat is indeed wrong, the pressures he's tested to aren't relevant to an...

The drilling rig I work on has an SCR system on it, no DPF, but has a enough catalysts inside the exhaust system to supposedly reduce NOx, (the only compound they seem to test for) by 90%, the engines run marginally cleaner (still emit plenty of black smoke) than non equipped 3512 Caterpillar...

Don't worry about offending too many people, it's a major flaw in American people now, they get offended every time someone says something they don't like.

I don't really want to agree or like this post, but it is very possibly the best advice you could get right now

I did go back and read the deal. I'm not beating you down about the science of his blog, I'm telling you not to put all your cards in his basket. I do find it funny how you bring religion and politics into it like it's a bad thing, like a character flaw of my own, yet you're the one who read...

I personally really dislike Rotella, it is no sacred cow to me I think it's over rated garbage in a bottle. That being said it meets a spec and it's what our vehicle manufacturer recommends. That article actually proves nothing other than some pressure testing and a small glimpse into the oils...

You really seem to be on one, you go ahead and run what bob the engineer says to run in your pickup because what he says is gospel. The lighter weight oil that was used in the engines in question was Rotella T5 10w-30 which is a Diesel engine oil Records and oil samples were taken throughout...
