Alex Bruene Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Perhaps we should have a forum dedicated to the things we read on those "public" forums... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I got to Engine City Tech, a diesel tech school , and in class we were talking about brakes and stuff. Then my instructor said that if you have left over brake fluid but only from a freshly open bottle, you can put it in your diesel tank. I callEd him crazy. Ive never heard of that. He said since the brake fluid absorbs moisture, it' ll act like a water seperator. I dont know, what do you guys think about it? I dont know if I should give it a whirl. __________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Oh sure, like there would be enough material available for a separate forum! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif Just kidding, of course. I simply haven't had the time to browse the public stuff and would appreciate seeing some of the more entertaining threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Every now and then, when I've had a few too many... I flip around TDS, just to see how f'd up the general public can be... I really don't spend much (if any) time there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Mix 10 gallons of diesel fuel with 10 gallons of gasoline. Wrap a sock onto an 8-foot stick and staple it securely. Dip the sock end into the fuel mixture and set aside. Open hood and liberally pour the mixture over the engine compartment, the cab, the tires and some in the bed for good measure. With a cigarette lighter, light the sock end of the 8-foot stick. holding the stick out in front of you, carefully walk toward the truck. Within minutes you should have more than enough black smoke billowing from the truck to delight any truck fan! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/flamethrower.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Browning Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Wow. TDS has really gone down hill. A lot of speculation and guys trying to long-cock each other. What a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 I got into arguing simply because somebody is saying that it's safe to disconnect 7.3 fuel injectors while the engine is running... and that fuel injectors will not cause a no start cold on a 7.3.

Alex Bruene Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 I think I have a new hobby now... thank god, cause the guitar hero was killing my hands! Here's another one from our friends at TDS... "if you are using Amsoil in your 6.0 I will be happy to inform you, I have oil samples of 6.0 engines that have oil samples with 22,000 miles and the oil was still good for continued use. the oil sample is your oil change reciept if you have any engine issues. the dealer cant tell you a word on the subject. I personally have run the 5w30 HDD over 40,000 miles without a change and have the oil sample to prove it. dont let others that have no experience on the subject sway you with opinions. Amsoil makes the best products on the market period." on edit: quoting TDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hempstead Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Do you keep the same filter on the 40,000 miles or change it at intervals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Couple of the guys I know that run stupid change intervals change the filter halfway through their cycle of 35000Mi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
