It is too bad that Navistar and Ford always had a communication problem. My 95 PSD came with conflicting infomation on something as basic as the amount of engine oil to add to the crankcase. Both my 95 and 2000 PSDs were shipped out with too low of the additive needed in the coolant to prevent cavitation damage and if you asked most Ford techs about this you got a blank stare. At a Diesel supply dealer, the little dip strip testers were about 2.00 to buy and all diesel mechanics know how important it was to keep the additive level in a certain range. I believe the newer coolants are now made to last a long time without testing. My point is that Ford and Navistar always seemed to have problems with even the very basic stuff like coolants and oil capacites. I believe that Ford is developing it's own in house diesel and I hope it is a resounding success.
