racer55 i appreciate the input. I have run a little with bio diesel since the bio diesel is a good lubricant. I know the trans fluid of today has changed and that's a good point. i didn't think of that. I noticed when i would mix 50/50 bio diesel and trans fluid the engine actually got quieter is that a good or bad thing u think?

Yeah i'm gonna look into it more i would think the old school fluid or dextron 2 would be ok cuz they are not nearly as advanced ill post with what i come up with. I texted my buddy for some advice. He has been a Ford diesel tech for about 15 years now, this guy is in a band and claims he runs there tour bus that's got a 7.3 ford off trans fluid. he says they save it up at dealer so when they go on tour they save alota $$$$

Mayhem haven't seen a post from you in a while. Have you run Waste Motor oil in one yourself? I was thinking as long as i filter it it would run fine but then i was thinking about the viscosity of the fluid. Waste motor oil seems to be very think. you think the lift pump would be able to give a copious supply to the IP? I would probibly mix 50/ 50 at the most but still it seems a little scary.
