The “bulletproof fix” seems to be the auxiliary filter on the oil pressure line into the HEUI pump. So we should be fine. I think that Chris and Lori ran into this almost immediately. The $12k included some other things but the cost seems exorbitant.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-72431457322037927942019-12-07T05:50:16.595-09:002019-12-07T05:50:16.595-09:00I follow along on your adventures.
