Glad to hear Jose ...

 

Yes, glad to hear you won't need a 5 gallon bucket to get home.

Your issue makes my current "unstable RPM" issue trivial in comparison.

I'm looking for the name of the UV tracer product; will post its name once I find it.

 

Glad to hear you were able to track it down and then that it was not too difficult of a job to get it fixed, Jose. Pan Comido!!!

 

I could get internet now and I want to comment:

Yes sir I feel better now with that issue fixed, and yes no need a big bucket to go home and no to pay towing to home. At the end it looked like "Pan comido" (I think it its = to piece of cake, correct me if Im wrong thebig350 ), but when I was with the issue, seems that the end of the world is coming. LOL.

Thank again you for your help, your wishes and for all MIS AMIGOS

 

I remembered that I wanted to make you another question:

Since it was a massive oil leak, I had to put different brands of diesel oil, because the sellers dont have enougth, but all were monograde 40. My truck uses esso 15W 40, does it can produce something wrong? Im planning when be in home, to change all the oil, but now? what do you think?

 

What kinds did you use? I'd say unless you got some real off the wire stuff you'd be ok til you get home. You may want to get an oring kit to change those on the hpop since you had an issue, although it was just a little loose, they are cheap. Just a thought.

 

I think these trucks are pretty tough
Just think of all the things done yo them before We knew better. How many 15k loads were pulled before Pryor gauges and round down pipes. And There still going with 3-400k+. A little off brand oil will be ok.

 

You'll be good until you get home Jose.

 

akron, pemex, mobil. all diesel oil CF/CF2 SAE 40. FOR SURE Im gong to get an oring kit. thanks


Im agree with you, thanks.

 

A full change with the 'proper' grade should have you back to normal, for at least several thousand kms.

The UV tracer dye is made by TracerLine. The last one I used was the "all-in one" TP-3400 (I think?).

 

Good to hear you're back on the road Jose!

 

Sorry for your troubles Jose, I just now saw this post, I don't know how I missed it. I know how you feel having trouble when your on the road. Its a terrible, helpless feeling. I carry a shi! load of tools but when things go wrong, just the stress blocks my clear thinking into mud. I got stuck in ND once, this forum saved my as! and just like you, I got an offer of parts to be mailed to me. The kindness of this forum is unbelievable!! I learned a lot too, when I received my adrenaline from dieselsite it must have had the O rings in it because I didn't know that they are supposed to be in there. I thought they were just like the ends that fit into the heads without O rings.

 

thanks for the info. I will change the oil soon.


Thanks my friend.

Totally agree with you. This forum works. Againg THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU.


Well Im at home again, no more leaks during the trip return. And as I had commented about my new MAP and the IC, I wanted to test them, and this trip served for that and Im very pleasent with both, no more lose of power in the alttitude and the EGTs, went at most less than 1200*. I got maximum 20 psi of boost, maybe more, but I dont wanted to scare my transmission, so I went a little easy on it. BTW and Im happy to asked HERE in this forum what about if a hose blown out, because one blown out during my trip to home, it was the closest to the spyder in the hot side, but was only because the clamp was a little loose (I think), because I just reconnected it and tighten a bit more the clamp and no more problems so far. Since the installation of the IC, I felt that the drivers side pipe was a little shorter than it has to be, so if happens again I will weld a piece of pipe there.

MUCHAS GRACIAS AMIGOS A TODOS.
PS. I forgot (my mind was occupaied for my trouble) to sent rep points to all of you, because you deserve them, so if it is usefull I want to tell that in my heart you have them . sorry for that.

Sincerely
Jose

 

Glad you made it home safe and sound.

 

Thank you Pete. BTW do you know what is the normal oil temp?, I had reading about 220* during my trip.
