Just as I was about to brag about my trouble free motor, a part fell off as I pulled in the driveway. Specifically the outer part of the AC clutch... it just fell to the ground! I gather that the culprit is a 2cent nut that held the part onto the splined shaft and has taken a vacation. I'm...
Is the starter turning the engine over at a normal rate?
Check the banjo bolt at the injection pump on the supply side, if its loose the pump will suck air.

Checked my oil at 12K just to see for myself. All is good. I will change it at 25K to 15W-40 for the summer months. Amazing what removing the DPF and EGR did to the oil life (and engine life also)!!
