The PCV valve and the PCV filter are two different things. The former is
at the output side of the crankcase air flow, while the latter is at the
input side.

Re: Spray on bedliners

My next door neighbor has a 95 ranger with a spray in liner, paid
about $325 hear in Atlanta. Best thing about them is you don;t have to
bolt everything down to keep it from sliding around like mine does.

Subject: CDR Valve replacement in 7.3

Have any of you diesel owners out there had experience with the CDR (crankcase
depression regulator) valve in the international 7.3 liter? The valve is
located on top of the engine, just behind the air filter, almost against the
firewall. To get to the valve you have to remove the air filter assembly.
Specifically, I'm wondering whether it is a part that needs to be changed, since
it functions more or less like a PCV valve on a gasoline fuel injected engine.
According to a Haynes manual I picked up a few years back the CDR valves on the
5.7 and 6.2 liter diesels in GMs, I believe, need to be replaced every 30,000
miles. Manual does not say whether this applies to the 7.3--only gives
instructions on how to replace it. I would be very grateful for any
wisdom/advice. Thanks. David H.

I have owned both drop-in liners and a sprayed in Rhino-Liner. I liked
the Rhino-liner much better. I never had any problems with it except for
a few nicks that I put in it w/ a sharp shovel. There are also other
brand names of spray-in liners that are also good.

I have one of those rubber throw liners. It is thick thick rubber and
stays in place and seems to do the job. I like it and it was about 100
bucks.

If you are like me (putting 65K in 2 years on a 95 Ranger) then go ahead
and buy the K&N Filter replacement when its time to change your filter.
It will save money in the long run.

That way you don't have to replace it every 3 months. :)

Or go to the dealer for a $25 air filter (back when I had no choice).

James,

You are wrong. There is no 1998 model F-350. The 1997 model is done
being ordered by Oct. 6, and then no more. After the 1997's are
bulit out, they will start with the 1999 model.

I've talked to a couple of folks on the net about Bank's Stage I, II, and
potentially the III (an intercooler). I'm interested in feedback
on these products since I'm considering acquiring a Stage II.

Anyone on this list have any experience with their products for the
Power Stroke?

Please respond directly to me, and I'll be more than happy to submit
a summary.

Is there a place that will mailorder a K&N filter for a Ranger?
I know lots of Euro places, but nothing for Fords, and my local
auto parts place is closing down.

302's are so buildable and options are plentiful. Start with the K&N

a cat back exhaust system. These are both simple bolt ons. If you
want to get more extreme go to a peformance chip, maybe an RV cam.
Seriously, the sky is the limit. Once you get above the 20% increase
you will start spending more and more just for incremential gains.

Happy building!!
