Hello and happy Dayton race day!

 

Happy Daytona Race day to you too.

Jim

 

Happy race day! Hope your favorite driver did good!

Got back this afternoon from the Boy Scout Klondike Derby up by Mt. Lassen. We saw 8* early this morning and got about 4" of snow on the tents. The SD did well, except for a cantankerous start-up and didn't build enough vacuum to engage the hubs. I do like the manual over ride on the hubs though.

 

Will I just put in new injectors and glow plugs on my 01, starts like a new truck. Changed them at 414,000. Got em from full force diesel for 1438.00. Ford wanted 5k for same remans. Just a heads amigo.
My favorite won as an owner, Tony Stewart

 

I havent been there in some time. I`ve gotten my last 20 kegs from 8 Bridges, they dont serve food but you can bring some in. Next time you are in town shoot me a text
Finishing up Rutherford winery hopefully tomorrow then back in Geyserville so should be back for weekends again.

 

Hank,
It may have had more to do with the 8*F morning and not bringing a gen set for the block heater than the injectors. She started right up this morning here in the valley.

 

Happy Mustang Monday Nor Cal!

How's the Battery's and test on cold koeo Ficm?

 

Batteries were about 10v to 11v and FICM was 48v+. The glow plugs cycled quite a while though

Next fall's oil change will be 5W-40 Synth instead of Motorcraft 15W-40 blend. I also added a bottle of Diesel Kleen White when I filled the tank Friday. The other numbers did not look unusual.

 

Mine started out with 2 failed glow plugs and figured while there go ahead and do inj. 3 were leaking.
8* is a tad chilly. Curious, do you use a front cover when super cold?
BTW I use 5w-40 synth as well

 

Happy two tacos for Tuesday Nor Cal. Last day of the month. Two months down already. Where does the time go?

Jim

 

Not quite over yet Jim, but I hear the fat lady warming up out back. HelloOO North California!

 

Everything checked out last week during the 150k service, the dealership used the 15w-40 blend. I haven't used a radiator shield on this truck either. Next year will get 5w-40 synth and take the generator to run the block heater.
