Default ETHER To all new guys to 6.2 and 6.5

Here some INFO on ETHER

With colder weather on the way I have re listed this announcement up for all in the 6.5 and 6.2 sections to see.



Here's the thing with Ether. Do not use ether with the 6.5 or 6.2 period. You will cause damage and the engine will become addicted to it over time.

The more you use ether the more damage you will cause.

Your truck should not need any "drugs" like ether, or propane, etc to start in the cold. If it does then you've just found a problem that needs correcting.

Top 3 reasons you run into, requiring the use of ether:

1) 4 or More Bad Glowplugs or Failed System

2) Failing Injection Pump

3) Bad Fuel Pump (fuel drains back into tank, leaving air in system

using ether could be one your problems and if you keep using ether you are going kill the motor

now when say warm is that after the been running or just warm weather

if it after you been running it could be IP or PMD
