Geeze sounds like I'm in the low percentile for reliability. Other than my fuel supply air leak.

I've had slushy coolant trip that code before. Also had it where the intake froze off and caused it to go rich. Blew it out with an air hose. Other than that, for a week here last month it was running 4-6 hrs a day.

I think that I damaged my engine in my 02 this winter, running it 14-18hrs a day, most of it was idling around at the various pump stations Brett and were working at. Tons of blow-by coming out the breather, most I can pull is 350 psi of compression out. A few cylinders are around the 200psi area. The truck still idles great, and starts decent.

Sure wished I had an espar this winter, sure beats seeing the old beasty freeze up and dumping raw diesel out of the injection pump during the three cylinder idle that we VP guys have.
