Sorry I saw this post all by itself and couldn't resisthttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif


I dunno, with a 3 mic final I would expect the pressure guage to be sensitive to restrictions. I hate to say wait til the pressure drops but I can't think of any other way to know how long the setup will run.


Obviously......I'm no expert.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif

Well SuperDave you would need to look at Hour rating filter change intervals I would gather ...


The Cat 0749 is a 250 HR normal service interval change service life as reported here,for xample ...


So at 60 MPH stock and 100+ MPH Xtreamed highway blasts compiled with Dyno breaking time ,just change the dam thing cause you have no idea how long they've been on there ...


Then cutter open take a peek and either say ,Thank God I changed it or sh*t that could have went another 10K and have better record keeping next time...
