The cdr is the tuna can looking thing right behind the air cleaner. Some say you can clean them with gas or some kind of cleaner an others say replace.

I got my off a Donor truck when I added the turbo and it makes mine burn oil. I tried cleaning and no luck. I am about to order one

As long as it's an IDI and not a powerstroke. Both were sold in '94.
