Looking at this truck in Texas and obviously concerned with the CP4 pump being an issue down the line and can do the DCR kit if I ended up buying the truck. I’m not as familiar with Powerstrokes.. does this truck already have the conversion done from this photo?

I have a 2016 f250 and have been running Rotella t6 15w40 for the past 2 oil changes. I change the oil every 5k and was possibly thinking of switching to 5w40 for better mileage. I live on the coast of NC and dont see temps get below 25 degrees if it gets that low during one or two mornings of the winter. wanted to hear everyone's thoughts on if I should stay with 15w40 or change to 5w40 for my next change. TIA

I’m looking to buy a 96 ford f250 with 160,000 miles 7.3 diesel the guy is the second owner and did major service last year water pump etc. He has maintenance records since he got it in 2009. It’s a long bed and it’s not a 4x4. It’s in pretty good shape everything works the only thing that it needs is a paint job on the right side of the truck. He wants 5k firm this will be my first diesel any thoughts ?

Hitachi ex30-02 digger/escavator. The engine is a kubota make and the model, from what I can gather, is the Kubota V1505-KA.

I believe I overheated it and not sure for how long as the temp gauge doesn't work and now refuses to start, could someone please help me diagnose the issue? I am so sad, bought it for a gardening project, overpaid for it as I didn't know a thing about diggers and had issues with it (mainly electrics) but this one seems beyond my knowledge and I am hopeless!!

It cranks, slower than usual (I believe) but doesn't turn on.

Overheating was caused by low coolant level I believe, the overflow bottle cap popped off and steam came out, as soon as I noticed it I turned the digger off.

Cheers!

My older attachment drive is starting to creep and lose low end tracking power on heavy loads. It runs the white 530 series RC 470 motor. Pulled the case drain line and I'm seeing way too much bypass flow. I’m looking at the aftermarket replacement from fab heavy parts because I can't justify the OEM lead time right now. Anyone here run these specific units on their attachments? Just want to make sure it can handle high pressure cycles without blowing the shaft seal out in the first month.

I am looking for a low hours QSK60 G4 engine for building into a 2250 LVA standby generator. Any ideas on the where I can source these and the typical cost?

Hey, looking at buying a used LML.
It’s a 2014 Chevy 2500 2WD with 150k miles, looks to be a previous oilfield truck but it’s got very good service history all at the same dealership throughout the whole carfax.
Had a mechanic look at it, the codes were cleared by buy here pay here dealer before arrival, and when idling code showed back up. Needs 1 injector replaced for too high output.
Zero blow-by, fuel regulator was able to reach 30k, coolant and oil looked fine, turbo performed well. It was test driven for 5-10 minutes, not very long, should’ve told him to drive it longer.
Truck is out of state, and I plan to be towing a lot with it. Any minor or major risks I’m overlooking here? Wanna hear it all anything helps, thanks. 🙏

Also, if I do end up making the trip I’ll definitely be driving it for much longer likely 20-30 mins before finalizing, and won’t be needing the 4x4 capability.

So I've got a bit of a weird thing happening with my rig that I haven't seen before, and was wondering if anyone could offer advice/confirm my hypothesis.

So I drive a '22 Pete 389 for work, and it has an X15 Cummins in it clocking just over 530k right now. Haven't been in the truck long, but it's never given me an issue outside of the coolant temp sensor dying. But this week it started doing something odd. Twice now it's been running fine, usually close to idle, and it will just lug down and stall, heavy smoke out the stacks like it's over fueling.

Here's the odd thing though, it only does it very close to first start up for the day, and after a key cycle it runs fine. It did it to me Monday morning, but then I drove the truck the entire day without issue, didn't do it at all Tuesday, but then did it again this morning. The fact that it lugs down hard and smokes makes it seem like something is blocking the air intake, but the fact a key cycle or two fixes the problem and then it runs fine, to me, says that isn't it. So I'm wondering if something is starting to die in the VGT that's causing it to basically clamp shut and choke the engine out. Any advice anyone here might have would be much appreciated before I go and throw a new turbo at the problem.
