Good call Duke
These uppipes ypie to turbo can be a PIA
take some anti seize and smear it on the marmon clamp flanges and that will help them give and slip alittle

Well, just finished mounting the oil cooler condensor today, buttoned her up and just got back driving it around to get it up to operating temp, she is smoking a little from the turbo area but I put a lot of anti-sieze on the up pipe of the turbo and y-pipe connections so I think that is what I am smelling burning off. I am still waiting on my new turbo oil feed line to arrive so Fo now I am still using the old feed, so far I can't find any leaks except the oil tube to the valve cover that I took off,I tightened some more and that seems to be good, it is nice now I won't ever have to worry about doing this job for the cooler ever again. And the ect/eot temps are neck and neck but not that it matters any more just as I shut the truck off ect=190,eot=195

thanks, I cut open the old oil cooler last night, I cut it right in the middle, then i tried to get water to flow through it with a garden hose, it was so clogged it shot back out the fill side, mind you it is now cut in half, there was so much crap in there that it must not have been flowing any coolant.
from what I found in there it was mostly small pieces of metal, or scale, i put a magnet next to these small pieces and they stuck to it, so alot of it wasn't casting sand like i thought it would be. I have to thank FTE and all of you guys for the advice to get the scanguage, it caught it before it caused alot of damage and potentially left me stranded with my family away from home.....Thanks guys!
