can someone re-explain the maintenance/replacement interval for the cdr on a '94 model w/turbo . i'm working on my buds truck and the turbo has been getting an oily residue inside it.
I actually do mine almost every oil change.
Two bolts and it is off on my turbo engine, plus that makes it easier to rinse out since it don't have time to crud up.
System;
Remove oil filter, remove drain plug.
Remove CDR and throw in can of gasoline
Change fuel filter, fill with Diesel Kleene
Change air filter
Grease dump bed
Grease rear drive shaft
Check oil in rear axle
Check oil in transfer case
Check oil in transmission
Shake CDR out and lay aside to dry
Fill filter with oil and reinstall
Reinstall drain plug
Grease front drive shaft
Grease front axle U joints
Grease ball joints
Grease tie rod ends
Check oil in front axle
Install new oil
Check belts, hoses, power steering fluid, master cylinders for clutch and brakes and lights.
Reinstall CDR
Check air in tires
i can appreciate that, i was taught that since gas is so vollital(?) it had no place around a diesel-even heard horror stories about people mistakingly putting gas in their tank and how it '"washed" down the cylinder walls and caused gualling.
