Oil mist...tighten the cap and keep truck'n

You will change your mind the first time ya smash your oil pan to bits... 630K+ on my car...Nailed a honeydew melon sized chunk of slag... bent the skid plate to the point it was rubbing the bell housing...no other damage... took a a massive chunk of ice to the front end on the highway....saved...

How heavy is your foot on the hwy?

Gemco cables are quality LOL....I've changed my cables every year for about 5-6 years straight because of the poor quality shielding on the GEMCO cables...I bet if you look at your sales invoices you will have PLENTY of repeat customers for the same cables

GET IT FROM THE DEALER... i payed 30 bux a side and is a way better quality cable than the aftermarket, solid waterproof shielding vs the wrapped shielding that lets water soak through ...Gemco and various other aftermarket garbage use the wrapped style shielding

All of the work i have paid mechanics to fix, I have had to redo ....i have never had one crimp repair last more than a couple years....they always corrode...break off at the crimp or come loose .

Are the dealers REALLY that bad in the states....Up here ya might pay through the nose for repairs but at least it will be done properly....I mind you every mechanic has a "brain fart" once in a while, I just found a small pool of transmission fluid underneath the wife's car...Just had the...

Damage done by compressing a solid...such as water?...Add a touch too much water and something has to give....it will end up being a rod

IT's gonna have either Beru or Bosch glow plugs ...I would replace with whatever make came with your car from factory..Also since there can be a resistance difference between the brands you can not mix them.....You can test your glow plugs to see if they are still good with a test...

Crack the lines loose on the injectors one at a time to bleed them out...when straight diesel is coming out each.. tighten

Somethings are worth going to the Dealership for...batteries....thermostats..etc....Are the glowplugs in your car the steel ones or ceramic ....I know the steel ones go for almost 40 bucks each...ceramic crack and fall apart down the cylinder....NOt sure where you can find the proper oil for the...

Can not beat the OEM battery from the Dealer...They seem to be the cheapest as well.
