I got my manual out and the fuel pressure regulator is supposed to be 65psi. So you are completely bypassing the fuel filter and lift pump and using an electric fuel pump just to see if the engine...

Definitely governed at 55 from the factory. But if you're already turning 2,100 RPMs you are not going to like what it sounds like at 60 or 65mph. That transmission is actually a 6 speed but many of...

It's a giant wiring harness passing through a grommet on the driver's side of the valve cover, you can't miss it. You can disconnect it from the outside, no need to remove the valve cover.

On the DT466E the fuel filter, which you found, is on the driver's side of the engine. Behind the filter, there is black plunger/pump to prime your fuel system. Underneath that, a part of the same...

Those temps are pretty normal operating range in hotter weather. Most transmissions are in the 180-190F range when cruising. They'll get hotter than that on long hills or towing. In general, keep...

Is it cold where you're located? Just wondering if the antifreeze/water might have frozen a bit somewhere in the cooling circuit and expanded, causing the the overflow tank to pressurize.

500k miles is quite a few. I'd assume your truck is on it's second, if not third, set of fuel injectors. It has also likely been in-frame rebuilt once by this point. As far as running vegetable oil...

Disabled them. But my family ended up purchasing more brake lights and turn signals (all red) and mounting them up there instead. Just tied their wires in with the brake lights and turn signals below.

The worst thing you can do with a modern diesel engine is just let it sit and idle. Make the engine work, keep the exhaust hot and it will regen less frequently.

The ZF5 was rated for ~26k lbs. If you can find an S5-47 it has a slightly higher input torque rating and higher 1st-3rd. If you're pairing it behind a 444E that would help a lot.

I carry a spare. It's much cheaper to have someone come out and jack up the bus and swap in your spare than it is to get a tow.

Assuming that it is an Allison transmission, look for a fluid that is TES 295 or TES 389 approved. Castrol Transmax and Valvoline Maxlife are two examples.

I would definitely check your transmission fluid level. When mine has been low before my bus barely made it up the driveway.

The separator will be on the frame rails. Just follow your fuel lines back to the tank. The horizontal filter on your engine is the coolant filter.
