I don't have any experience with these 6.7L's, but I CAN say this.
K.I.S.S - Keep It Simple Stupid. Start with the small things, another fellow said thermostats, seems unlikely that both would go bad, but I assume they're cheap fixes and would start there. I can't tell you how many times something was acting ( they function, just acting abnormal ) up with my vehicles and I immediately assumed the worst, replaces an expensive item or something that was off the wall, only to figure it out later that it was a very simple fix...
Could be. Since the engine oil and transmission are on different cooling systems (primary, secondary, respectively) would that require both thermostats to go bad?
Second time I’ve mentioned it. Revisit the recent flush for air. Tranny and engine oil hit 240+ in these trucks.
Thanks for the reminder.... I do have a question... How would one check for such an issue?
The only way I know how to do it without a vacuum tool, is to park the truck on an incline (the steeper the better), open the cap on the radiator and get the engine good and hot. Don't start with a hot engine, of course, since opening the radiator cap on a hot engine is dangerous. The air will come out the top of the radiator. After you don't see bubbles for a while, you're done.
The recovery tanks in these trucks are pressurized, so that may be an alternate way, but I have no experience with that.
If anyone can recommend a good vacuum tool that works with multiple brands, I would be interested in buying a tool.
