Hello all I am visiting relatives here in St John, NB. My mother-in-law needs a transmission fluid change and a CEL diagnosis. The dealer tried to rip her off by suggesting a $690 headlight assembly to replace the connector, translation-theft. Any trusted shops? Thanks

time for me to come out of the (dino) closet my PD cam had visible discoloration at about 80, 000 km, up until this time I was using stealer 5w30-505.01 oil. My mechanic, Euro Wrench Werks suggested I do the following: change to a CJ HDEO 15w40 6 month- 5000 mile oil change interval...

yes and original cam i changed to a dino 15w40 (hdeo) at 80 KM when I noticed the cam had some streaking on lobe #1, I thought the cam would die anyways that was over 6 years and almost 200 km ago still going strong

I have heard this before, but to date (knock on wood) the engine has been flawless. No oil consumption, when I had the TB changed my mechanic said the engine was "spotless". In reality it doesn't matter to me personally, the car owes me nothing, if it dies I will replace it My OCI is 6 months...

I have been using a dino 15w40 in my PD, I now have 250km and the original cam https://www.bosslubricants.com/viewproductdetails/heavy-duty-extreme-diesel-engine-oils-api-cj-4 I have never been convinced that 505.01 was a magic oil, particularly when you read about all of the cam...

a club is essentially useless unless you install this air bag shield, it makes cutting the steering wheel really difficult (its a much longer cut to make and it is case hardened steel) http://store.winner-intl.com/the-shield-p11.aspx

I have stage 1.5 and egr delete, it is essentially smoke free except when you floor it at low rpm (takes a sec for the turbo to catch up) i got another 4 mpg on the highway, and way more low end torque:D
