H.D. Diesel Truck & Equipment:

  Larger diesel engines; like the PowerStroke, Cummins, and the Duramax, that are used for work or pleasure need to last many year and be reliable.  That's why you bought a diesel.  An ESP-Luber Lubrication System is the best Engine Start Protection you can have to protect you investment.  Diesel engines start hard and would greatly benefit from Engine Start Protection available in the Pre/Post Lubrication System.  Diesel owners buy, not lease, there vehicles; they want them to last.  Recent upgrades made to the ESP-Luber line-up include a new digital, fully adjustable ECM, improved electronics in the motor, better resistance to vibration, and now the pump/motors are water resistant (do not submerge).  This is something the weekend warriors have been asking for, for many years.  These larger engines are very costly to remove and rebuild.  With the possibility of saving thousands of dollars by extending the life of your engine, can you afford not to have an ESP-Luber?

  Starting your engine has long been known to be the worst thing you can do to your engine.  Major brand oil companies have quoted this for years.  The facts are simple; oil drains back into the oil pan, oil is needed to lubricate the moving engine parts, cold oil takes longer to travel through the engine to protect these moving parts, and finally unprotected metal to metal contact wears engine components.  This “wear” results in fine metal particles, these particles circulate through your engine; this is known as contamination.  This contamination further accelerates the wear of your engine.  You get the idea. 

   Now, what about pressure?  Oil pressure is what separates the moving metal components of your engine while the engine is in operation; this includes cranking.   No oil can do this without the assistance of a… …pump.  The engines oil pump forces oil through the engine and the resulting interference creates pressure.  This pressure separates the moving components and creates a lubricant film for these components to travel upon.  Without the engines oil pump in full operation there is no pressure.  [Note:  This is an over simplified explanation of the engines oil system operation.]  Experts have claimed that one startup on a cold engine (a.k.a. Dry Start) is equivalent to 500 miles of travel, in regards to engine wear.  How many times have you started your engine this week, month, and year?

   Since most performance diesel engines are turbocharged, an adjustable post lubrication or cool-down cycle is featured.  The “Turbo Plus” kit will continue to circulate engine oil through your engine and turbocharger after the engine (and oil pump) has shut down.  This feature makes this kit the best Engine Shut-down Protection system you can buy. Engine oil will travel through the engine oil cooler, turbocharger, and oil galleries to transfer and draw damaging heat away from the engine.  Peak water and oil temperatures are also reduced.  This aids in the lasting service life of the engine and turbocharger.  Coupled with an efficient By-Pass filtration system, your engine could last 2 or 3 times longer.  For an ever-simpler installation, ESP Products offers an optional Custom Filter Adapter (CFA) that allows the Pre & Post- cycle oil to run through the engine's primary spin-on filter. 

How does it work?

Simple.  Turn your key to the "on" position.  A 12v ignition signal to our ECM starts the Pre- cycle.  When the key is turned to the "off" position the 12 volt signal is removed from the ECM and the Post- cycle begins.  It's that simple to operate.  

  If you purchased one of our manual systems then the Pre- and Post- cycles are controlled by the manual switch.  We have recently introduced a momentary switch to the Manual systems to eliminate accidental operation.  This way the system only operates while you engage the switch.
