oil temps are good. little too cold so i will probably add a thermostat unit. Id like to see them around 180 all the time.

My Mercedes 300D diesel has a thermostat built into the oil cooler circuit. It's a 5 cylinder 3.0L diesel. It has the same oil capacity as
my 5.4L, 7 quarts.

Interesting. I figure 180* should be perfect for a thermostat. Then I wont need something in front of the cooler.

I could see that being a problem, cause around here on our diesels we have to run a winter front, to keep the temps up running down the highway, even when towing.

Wow, super tragic and ****ty. Not sure where what my state of mind would be if something like that happened to me, horrible.

Some would say lucky to be alive, I dont know. Guess thats really upto the person to decide.

Seat belts can save you, but they can also mess you up.


My one mustang needs an oil cooler. Currently run diesel oil in it now and it still breaks down pretty quick, guessing from heat soak from the blower. The fox GTs dont breath well though.


As for your truck, big project man, surprised they take the cab off, is there no easier way or less intrusive? Seems like a ton of work.

on new diesels you pretty well have to take the cab off to do anything, one of the f550 weatherford pickers had an egr valve go, cab off, something went wrong with my dads work trucks exhaust, cab off
