ill probably run the truck for another week or two to see if its residual and then get back into the valley and check a few things that you guys mentioned. thanks, everyone.

 

Here is a picture of the tube that was installed in my truck by the tech that did the clutch job and resurfaced the flywheel.

This was the first I had seen or heard of it and didn't know that he was doing it until the picture arrived via a text to update me on the progress.

This is a must do for ZF6 trucks because it will keep oil, water, debris away from the friction surface of the clutch and flywheel.
