I've replaced (2) #4's on my truck...

I came to the conclusion awhile ago that if the oil meets Cummins CES20086 spec, I'm willing to run it. I found Purus 15w-40 at a local distributor for $7.99/gal in a 55 gal drum and so far, so good.

I agree.

I feel like a broken record, but after spending so much time researching different oils, I've decided that if the oil meets the Cummins CES20086 spec, I'll use it. I had enough Valvoline Premium Classic Blue CI/4+ on hand that neither my wife's Excursion nor my pickup saw the CJ rated oil...

I've been told by many wounded vets to avoid Wounded Warriors like the plaque.

If the oil meets the Cummins spec CES20086, I'll run it. I picked up a 55 gallon drum of Purus 15w/40 for $8/gal. Donaldson or Fleetguard filters for me.

I'm at 212k miles on the original water pump.

We stayed at the Estes Park Campground at Mary's Lake in September of 2016. Worked well for us.

I think you'll be pleased. I put 6 new ones on my 5er over the summer.

Here is a picture of the HVAC box with the screen still in place.

If you decide to do the job, use the doors from Blend Door USA. I did the job several weeks ago and replaced the evap and heater cores, as well.

I only know of a few stations that dispense diesel with biodiesel already added and those stations are typically Sinclair branded. I add the biodiesel to my storage tank before it goes into my vehicles.

I did not replace any of the blend door motors other than the one that came with the lower half of the HVAC housing. I have no heard of them failing. Yes, I did drop the steering column and move the dash in one piece. Flopster843 on youtube has a few videos that are very good for this job.

I just fixed this same issue last month. I even replaced the lower half of the HVAC box. If you're mechanically inclined, you can do the job. Suggestions: Replace both heater and evaporator cores while you are in there - don't forget the PAG oil that goes in the new evaporator core; use doors...

One major difference is that the Mega Cab HVAC has a screen that restricts airflow to the panel/dash vents. I removed it and the difference is incredible. Attached are pictures of what I came up with using (2) 3 way ball valves. I can route the coolant as designed or route the coolant...
