    we sharpen ours with a 6" grinder, i would be guessing somewhere around a 60* angle. they are very crude so the angle isnt very important, however i noticed that with a sharper angle like 45* it will cut tall grass really well, but dulls much quicker after running through some branches or dirt...

    quickie coolant question

    the coolant is fine. you need to get a test strip and check the SCA levels, if they are low you need to just get an SCA additive. being that the new filter is charged, i would bet you are fine. dont forget that too much sca will cause hard scale fall out and/or sludge that will ruin seals and...

    Question Diesel techs:

    overfueling will cause black smoke, only if the fuel is burning. a blown injector tip that is dumping fuel will more than likely not burn, and wash down the cylinder and smoke white from the fuel dripping and boiling in the exhaust. i would imagine eubee has his injectors by now, and the truck...

    Question Diesel techs:

    often when they are dumping fuel the piston is just wet with fuel, and the tailpipe will be dripping, and usually it will smoke white like a steam locomotive.

    Question Diesel techs:

    if its dead (not firing) you PROBABLY wont hurt anything, just shake your coffee a lot. light throttle and high revs actually will smooth out the vibes and be better than "taking it easy". heavy throttle and low speed will make it very rough. if its dumping fuel, do not drive it at all.

    sqeaking tailgate

    lube is always good. also check to see that it is tight against the bumps when its closed, you may need to adjust the strikers in closer to the bed.

    you would need the programmer to "delete" the dpf monitoring and regen functions from the PCM after the dpf is in the garbage.

    Alternator going bad maybe, or glow plug module?

    it sounds like an alternator going bad. if the GP's were staying on, there would just be more draw and the alternator should be kicking 100+ amps at high idle under a maximum draw situation.

    types of coolant

    i need to update that.....ford uses an orange dyed coolant that is acceptable for diesels now. this was a really old post. basically, identify if your coolant is organic or inorganic acid, and go from there.
