Re: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants

Peter, what "Dot" brake fluid can we use in our Patrols. I know one shouldn't mix, for example Dot 3 with Dot 4.

Re: Too good to be true

The clank clank at idle, without actually hearing it, is kind of normal. These are noisy motors to start with, but when under load the "clank: becomes more of a direct injection diesel sound. The "clank clank" could possibly be improved by having the rocker clearances adjusted. This i...
