T4 in the bike and old pickup. 15 dollars to change em both minus filter of course. Truck has a billion miles on it. Prolly 500k. 4 cyl gas 2.4.

One correction to your post. The T6 is not a hydrocracked group 3. It is a GTL group 3. For those that don't know, GTL stands for Gas To Liquid. It is made from natural gas, not crude oil. The base stock before any additives are added is 100% pure.

I have a 4g 6.7 Cummins and have run Amsoil All-In-one. I think it helps. I think the Repair Geek’s video makes me want to try Opti Lube XPD. I haven’t tried it yet though. Lubricity, cleaning injectors, and cetane increases are all good (if the products actually work)

Looking at buying one from a truck driver who did HotShot services. 900k kms, rebuilt transmission, injectors recently serviced and a whole bunch of other maintenance. Original owner too. He is asking $15k Cad, is that too much? The truck itself is an 04 2500, it’s in really good shape too.

I like to run a quart of free new 15-40 oil from work. In my 5.9. Is it good. Fuck if I know.....

Awesome seeing these trucks with no rust

Great video! All that said, which additive are you choosing to start using now?

Thank you very well put together video

I have been using XPD Opti Lube in my 05 Cummins for the past 3 years and I think it runs much smoother when towing heavy loads! But any fuel additive is better than none for sure. Great video!👍

Interesting! Thanks.

Opti lube xdp tested the best in lab results

I ran klotz 2 stroke oil in my 12v and 24v. I contacted klotz and they told me a better option for fuel lube is to run klotz uplon in my cummins.

I've only used diesel kleen in my 03 5.9 with 285000 miles and she still runs great

I found my 05 5.9 runs smoother on Redline 85 Plus. It has high lubricity and a cetane boost. The fuel additives will save your fuel pump.

You test different oils? I subscribe.

I drive a semi for a living, put the whole 250 gallon treat bottle in with the truck holding 200 gallons, this stuff use to be awsome, u could put it in the tank and immediately the engine would quit surging, now when i use it, it keeps surging, and really cant tell a difference in the fuel or power..idk if the changed the formula or diesel has gotten worse!

What if the dash is acting crazy while driving ?.. All needles going to zero and back..start up chimes..warning indicater lights etc..oh and wipers cutting out too..thx

Bought 04 with 5.9 10 months ago replaced all kinds of stuff, up grade transmission was huge, noticed using fuel additive has proved to lower engine sounds, 181,000 miles runs great.These videos have been very helpful

I would use their ultra performance or the one below that they should discontinue all the ones except for their two best and that includes their full synthetic gasoline engine oils

Is the Egr still unplugged? Did you do a tune that turns off the CEL?

Did this to my 08 and it helped with about an inch of play

Box is tough for the price. It served me well for 3 years gave it to a coworker after I got a free knaack box and he still uses it. The kobalt even survived my coworker tweaking the lid in half with a peterbilt

c447, s116, 281 are my codes not on your list any ideas?

I went from seeing a small wet circle on the driveway, to what is that, can I fix it... then watched this video, drove to O'Reilly 's and changed out the part in just under 2 hrs. Wow, the vise grip idea... having the part number for us...just awesome. It's 20 degrees here, looks like your video, except with snow mix... I laid on a semi warm engine and got it done! Can you tell, I'm happy! Thanks for a great video!

Still on the same trans??

I keep having perfom service notifications ever since i rerouted the hose from turbo to catch can. Gutted ccv filter, no difference. Are you having any codes or messages?

i have the same exact car, also needs everything your car needs too! i was initially going to go to a shop to get tranny fluid in, but after you made it look easy i might try at home. thanks for the helpful vids 👍🏻

Literally says no diesel on the bottle.

I dont understand why you're comparing viscocity as long as they all measure within spec (which they do). If lower means better (which is doesnt), buy 5w30. At opperating temp, these oils are all rated and measure to the same spec. If you measured them cold, the 5w40 would measure different. Also, additives may be a selling point, but also, the selling point of synthetic is not that they have more additives, it's that they last longer. Not saying oil life means theyre better, just suggesting that the oil life of synthetics mkes their price more comparable per mile driven.

If you live in any climate where the temp varies or you idle or drive around town lots Use T6 full sy. change oil at 5000 miles.Talking about small 6.7 engines DSL.Another one if you live in cold Canada you pay 100000 for a new pickup for god sake put a S bar heater on your engine 2400 dollars When you start your engine 150 degree F water temp even the oil and metal is warm.Cant believe in cold Canada ever one with a DSL engine dont have one.When 75 percent engine damage is cold start.Change your air filter spring and fall.Save your self alot of problems if you own a 6.7.Going to put a DSL interior in next cut ID time.Plus dog will stay warm in winter.

Blessing

Aisin is Toyota transmission they made the Toyota transmission

Blah blah blah

NOOOOO LOCKTITE

So the G05 is red??? Had a flush done on mine. old coolant was red and they said that when they flushed it they used the G05 to put back in but when I looked, it was still the same red color like it was never flushed. Highly confused so any clarification would be extremely helpful!

Ive owned a 96 12v, a 94 24v 59 and now Also own an 08 6.7 which was deleted when warranty ran out but it's only had the dpf filter not def.. 6.7 will out perform the 5.9 and not much difference in design.. I love the exhaust brake and prefer a vgt turbo but I'm not out here trying to make a race truck either

Fuel in San Diego $4.70. 12/27/2024

93 Cummins in my 5240 case is.8000hr in northern alberta Canada oil patch scrap yard.still go n.zero engine work

It looks a bit like bardahl diesel treatment 1152!. I'm happy with the bardahl

2006 1 ton dually 4x4. Will never sell!

Yeah flip the cap over let it sit, she dont move, you're fine

im trying to get a 07 2500 4x4 with the 6.7 Cummins

Really good video, straight to the point and giving the good and bad. I’m looking at the 04ish range and this really helped.

Early 07 4x4 here… bought it new. It has out lasted several of my friend’s trucks over the years and it’s cherry clean. Only thing that’s not stock is my fancy suspension system. It’s super fun to drive on and off road.

Dodge never made a cummins. Poor man's pickup. Detroit Diesel will always outlast cummings ❤

I'll 2nd the comment below regarding the drain plug not draining. Holy crap how long I looked for something.

Love that truck

Really like the discussion format, I feel like it lets you drop some nuggets of wisdom you would’ve otherwise missed. Like you’re kind of thinking on the fly and new ideas become more apparent as you’re thinking through your dialogue. I am in need of a one ton dialog for the weed control and fertilization side of lawn care business. I think I’m just buying an old Cummins ram and rebuilding it for longevity. I’m going to try and find one with low miles so I can avoid repairing all the normal stuff on a 300k mile plus truck unless it’s been meticulously maintained and documented. All the new stuff terrifies me to have to pay another shop a fortune to work on, never mind how expensive they are. Appreciate all your time and wisdom sir!

Being a full synthetic, the T6 probably doesn't need as many additives. And being a full synthetic the T6 probably will last longer than the others (higher TBN). The Boron, Phosphorous & Zinc are probably close enough to call them analysis deviations.

I really like the idea of getting rid of the egr system. The engine would benefit😊 greatly. And maybe a serviceable dpf/scr
