Where do you hail from (3wildboys)?

Replace that leaky air filter with one of THESE or make your own with a 4" elbow and a 6637 air filter that you get from Napa. It frees the engine up to breathe better and won't leak dirt into your engine like the (recalled) stock air box can.

Plus, it lets you hear the turbo a bit more. Not that you would be interested in that kind of thing though.....no.....

 

thanks for info ,changed oil today,walking out of store with 4 GALLONS of oil is an almost exciting experience,new fuel filter too,my fuel consumption is appearing better already,the fellow before me must not have cared a whole lot about upkeep,pesky leak at rear main cover but after nosing around here trying to narrow it down,so the story goes....

 

Look up top of the engine, in the valley specifically, for the source of that leak at the inspection cover. The valley has a tendency to collect leaking oil and fuel and it drains down the back of the block and runs out around the inspection cover.

 

Oh and one more thing, if the PO wasn't especially good with the Preventative Maintenance, you should get yourself some SCA test strips and check the SCA levels in the coolant. Long story short, the coolant in our trucks requires an additive called SCA and improper levels can cause cavitation and more severe trouble down the road if not corrected. Think sand in the coolant and you're not far off....

 

10-4 on the coolant,it looks green anyway for starters,my to do list is a flush anyway,I want to get as much stuff done before winter sneaks up,one good thing is I know the owner trail of vehicle,I'm #5 which isnt horrible I guess but I need to hunt one guy down that did the chip install and find all info out on what has been done to my new girl,it sickens me that others have touched her,but I'll let that slide,she was young and stupid,oh I mean my truck.I am in central Illinois in Champaign area.Pictures will go up as soon as site lets me.Im trying to get 25 posts fast,can ya tell!
