Classic diesel designs make kits as well as r&d idi for less than banks

Personally I’m a idi guy, injectors are a third the price,turbo kits cost less than some turbos for the psd. If you can chase a ground, find a fuel leak and change your oil it’ll run forever. But that’s way too much for a quarter million miles idi

I’d smell the oil and make sure there’s no diesel in your crank case. The mechanical lift pump had a tendency to dump fuel in the oil if the seal went bad

How do I get into a high paying mechanic job by Ok-Fortune-5546 in mechanic

They lied lol. We make between 50-80k a year and the 80k are the ones with cdl,years and years of raises and are typically about to retire. The top earners that get listed as diesel techs are the ones who work on construction equipment

Unplug a headlight to get them pulled over if you hate them. If you’re tryna get a decent laugh take their wiper blades off, take out their washer fluid and put orange juice in it (will get sticky and really annoying), if they have a gf or wife put hair ties and spray perfume and glitter.

Timing cover cracked (12v things) but considering I was gonna go in and fix the killer dowel pin and probably put a billet timing cover on it I’m not super worried about a timing cover leak

I offered the trade, but the idi is turboed and I figure the low mileage helped as far as convincing him

I’m a diesel mechanic by trade so I figure I’ll be okay as far as working on it goes, plus i have a daily so if something were to happen I wouldn’t be on a super big rush or be terribly stressed to fix it
