Re: Warning to 6.0 PSD Owners with Amsoil System

Mikes on point. I ran mine for quite some time and did have an injector issue but can't say that the filter and/or routing issue was the problem. I did have an EGR problem at the time. Tests after I...

Re: Warning to 6.0 PSD Owners with Amsoil System

My iron was 23 and silicon was 9 @ 42K if I remember correctly. The sample sheet is in my album.

Re: Warning to 6.0 PSD Owners with Amsoil System

Greg do you have any info on the Eao26 filter? Jim says they are too restrictive. Do they incorporate this anti draw back check valve?

Jeffery what you posted is what SMB told me about the...

Re: Warning to 6.0 PSD Owners with Amsoil System

Greg I was shown the adaptor that is made by AMSOIL. SMB copied the AMSOIL design and SMB’s is simply made with smoother oil journals and looks very similar. I'm not saying I wasn't lied to but I...

So far I have no responce from SMB about the restrictor, only about the lines which was an E-Mail from them on how to make the swap. That part is done. My BP filter now runs very warm but not hot....

Re: Amsoil Restrictor Device

Thanks Jim. I planned to have SMB remove it when I was there last but they were not sure about it. I just change the oil but forgot to pull the SOB out. I'll get to it soon. Can you explain what will...

That’s good information. At least SMB seems up front about the installation being wrong. SMB installed mine before I picked up the van so I could not actually look it over off the vehicle. If...

Pat, are you saying the filter housing block is incorrect?

From what I've seen the filter housing block with arrows is correct. The adaptor block that SMB makes is the same as the AMSOIL block....

Jeff, Jim told me the same thing last summer about those filters being too restrictive. I just talked with Jim Friday. He says they are back ordered on the Donaldson but is trying to get me one. I...

HA!
Yeah, plus I never did a sample when I did my long run with AMSOIL. I mean that oil only had less than 4K on it! But my mechanic (who is a friend) never found any metals on the magnet and the...

My lines were swapped by SMB and they did an oil sample a week or so ago. I have not pulled the ball valve as Jim suggested to me and will wait until SMB gives that a go. I talked with the lab by...

TWOLOST I was told by AMSOIL not to use that filter because of oil restrictions. Why are you using that filter?

These are the things that bother me about after market devices. You should call Jim...

John did you get the new designed take-off head? I looked at the SMB designed head and the original AMSOIL head and found the SMB design to be superior but have been told the new AMSOIL head will...

I'll post back tomorrow if I get my van back but my engine did quiet down after installing the AMSOIL also. My guess is there will be no change in how it runs. AMSOIL is coming out with a new...

Except as Jonathan stated here. But I don’t know if he was officially speaking for the company. Maybe he was throwing a little water on the fire. I’ve received 3 calls from SMB on this...

I just got off the phone with Jim at AMSOIL and I came away with the feeling that the lines being backwards (if in fact they are) doesn't spell doom for the engine. In fact he said that the temp test...

OK mine is the same. I tested after a 10 min warm up (cold start & 10 min run time = cold large filter and warm small filter). Before I do anything I want to discuss this with SMB but this pisses me...
