- it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
for my type of engine, bypass filtering is something that should be done, the 4bt runs much cleaner. any engine will greatly benefit from it if you run hard and have extended idle time etc.
small amount of waste oil?
with some heat 100% tranny/hydro fluid burns fine with decent injectors.
in the warmer months 30 percent mix works real good for me, running through just a 10 mic and no heat at all. i actually use buckets or my old stock tank in combo with the fat bastard van tank.
now that my injectors are so far gone i been running mostly diesel as it smokes noticably at idle and has less power....but i am pretty sure its nearly 300k past 1st scheduled injector service, so a guy cant really bitch about it now can he
i have done some huge experimenting with it, and it really cut my operating costs down.
when comparing cost equivocation over the 302, while running the mix its impressive. i still cant believe i have not put a turbo on it. damn thing gets by ok, and its easier on parts when i do get into some situations....it has disappointed me on a few occasions though so i am certain i would not be happy with a stock cummins over a stockish turbo 6.5.
if i was regularly wheeling it i am sure it would have had a turbo long ago...but its my daily most of the time so we are on the same page there.
