Check and make sure you have the bracket on the starter.

Cary a spare PMD mounted beside the one you are running for a quick change over on the side of the road.

 

Check the engine oil cooler lines for leaks. If they are leaking swap them for a kit or make a kit yourself.

leroydiesel.com or lubricationsprcialist have kits

Do not waste time or money on OEM or OEM style lines. This is kind of a must do as many people have lost their engines with their engine oil cooler lines

 

thanks a lot guys all the feedbacks appreciated

 

get the radiator serviced or at least give it a good flush, not long had my rig n that gave me some dramas. ended up needing a new radiator.

 

This is a good thread, answered some of my questions before I asked them!!

 

Double check.

Several people have had their blocks ruined because of this. I know of one that the block was ruined with one hit of the key after a new starter was installed without the front starter brace
