I honestly don't know why everyone doesn't own a 6.0, I missed driving this thing!!!

Glad it's back together and running awesome!

Once I got mine dialed in, the Atlas 40 made a night and day difference, especially when I went back to the first strategy for my truck.

Twice mine sat in my driveway, I couldn't drive it and missed it terribly. July 2015 the radiator blew and while I waited for the Mishimoto to come in, I did the brakes and a few other maintenance items while it was sitting. February 2016, the water pump took a dump and again, it sat while I waited for the Dieselsite pump to come in. I upgraded the battery cables and cleaned a few things up, but when the pump came in and I had it all back together, it was an exhilarating, yet relaxing test drive both times.

Sadly its leaking coolant. The hose that goes from the top of the water pump to the coolant tank is leaking. I must have poked it when I was trying to get it loose from the pump while installing my 6.4 banjos. I was going to replace it while it was apart but I didn't...oh well it is what it is.

I've used Alliant o-ring kits and an Alliant rebuilt injector. They all required replacing within 20k miles.

My issue had nothing to do with the seal kits, it did have everything to do with the nipple cup orings.

Coolant leaks all fixed, trucks back up and running great. First heavy tow of the season coming up here in a few week. Hope all is well with the truck. I think I'm going to increase the Line Pressure on my 3-5 shifts in hopes of decreasing the flare I have. I know its masking the issue but I don't have the money to spend on a tranny rebuild right now. Guess that will be next years money to spend.
