Does anyone else protect against Cavitation with their TDI. I have been with mine and was going to start with the wifes when I realized that no one even mentions it around here.
It was just a habit from having 6.9L and 7.3L IH diesels I guess. Have 276K on this truck. 310K on the last 1988 F250 (still ran good when I parted it out) and my father has 308K on his E350 IDI. No cavitation so I must be doing something right.
Here is a good article put up by some guys at the diesel stop.

I would tend to believe that the TDI doesn't have the same thin wall between the water jacket and cylinder wall like the IH IDI's do?
