To all, has anyone got suggestions on a good sevice schedule, what sould be done and at what milage. I know the basics oil- filter- diesel filter -grease ball joints etc. But reading threads on CDR valve, coolant additives, and other parts has anyone got a complete list? If not could we try and compile one.

 

It would be easier to photocopy your VOM maintenance schedules and pencil in the SCA test and CDR cleanings. Just about everything is on those VOM schedules.

 

What are CDR cleanings

 

I know what the service manual says, but when you truck gets to be 10 + years old there are things that you should be looking for - preventing against. All my Ford service guides quit at 100K+ miles (if you have one that tells you what to do @ 150K, 200K I would appreciate the info my ford dealer does not have). What I was looking for was the experience of the members to contribute their experience and suggestions

 

CDR (crankcase Depression Regulator) Search the threads for '1986 Diesel Engine Noise', has the info on cleaning, location etc.
