Thread: Dieselsite Coolant filter installed - 6.0 Van

You want those glow plugs working. That's another reason to plug in the block heater, it could help a lot and if you could get it warm enough it might even start without the glow plug relay working. If your ignition is not working you are not getting power to the relay and in turn your glow plugs. You want both, the glow plugs and the block heater ideally.

ditto here with a dually

We get some cold snaps, but if you get a sunny afternoon it isn't bad. The vans are versatile, I'll still have enough space between the boxes for a sheet of plywood, and with the EXT I can stick a 12' long board in there and still close the...

breather yeah thanks for the advice blizzard, i actully have it vented out the back and down under , im probably going to do the green thing and run it into a catch can , I think you were seeing the black adhesive i tried to use on silicone pipes to hold them together , it worked up to about 25 lbs then they would come apart they are good for low pressure systems , and of course i couldnt return them because they were used , selling them on...

I have not cut it open yet but I do have it still and plan on it. I did however pour out what was in the filter and a noticeable amount of sand and black flakes did collect at the bottom of the bottle. I can post a pic once i've done it.
