Going from a 2000 Alh to a 2006 pd and I have a clean intake manifold, egr and egr cooler. Are these consistent between both engines or different parts?
You know I've been keeping this in mind while driving, at what engine speed do you typically shift at? I find myself at cruising speeds at 1800rpm a lot."I've said it for years and repeat it here. Don't drive the engine hard below 2000 rpm. If you are running through the gears and shift with engine rpm below 2000, downshift and try again. If you do this, you WILL NEVER SOOT your engine's intake." Franko6
This should be a sticky! I've said this 3 or 4 times over the last month,
maybe they'll believe you Franko, our little diesels need some revs to be happy.
The one plus of a 4 speed auto is that it revs nice and high on the freewayYou know I've been keeping this in mind while driving, at what engine speed do you typically shift at? I find myself at cruising speeds at 1800rpm a lot.
Yeah... But I don't like being left stranded lolThe one plus of a 4 speed auto is that it revs nice and high on the freeway

I have a good tdi auto sitting in my garage, needs a new valve body on it though. Keeping it in case I want to swap it back into something. I didn't completely cut the harness up when I did my conversions.
So last night on my way home from work, I drove my car with never having the rpms below 2k, I was amazed at the performance difference. Who knew I was driving my car wrong for almost two years
Diff splitters are pretty old technology, and I’ve never seen one on a truck built in the last 30 years. Trucks these days with eatons have a 5 speed main box, and 2-3 speed auxiliary boxes allowing them to split gears, and give two ranges depending on model (10 speeds just have a range split), the most you’ll see is an 18 speed though (with a pretty stellar 14ish:1 low, low gear). Neat thing about them is they have the same rpm drop across every gear.That's why those big rigs have 6spd gearboxes with diff splitters.
