I have also used the Rosewood tools and can’t recommend something like that you hammer in cups. Can the hammer version work? yes. But so does digging a swimming pool by hand. Thank goodness innovation has come and we don’t have to use 30 year old techniques.

Have I missed anything that would let a petroleum based pruduct into my coolant?
Ran 4 bottles of ajax dishwasher soap (1 bottle 4 different times) to flush.
Have replaced cups,water pump, thermostat, temp sensor,6 coolant hoses, oil cooler/seals/gaskets, degas bottle. Injectors still on order. Glow plugs less than 10 k miles. Have new vc gaskets and uvch. Adding a coolant filter and donaldson air filter. I could hear the fan clutch doing it's thing while pulling the travel trailer back in early July.
I also have a cts 3 coming that my oldest is giving me, he switched to hydra tunes. I am hoping it is the one that also has tunes, a few extra horses pulling the trailer in kansas head winds would be nice.

Is your turbo wheel at least upgraded?
what is health of oil cooler? Being you didn’t find the smoking gun the other thing mentioned was the oil cooler. You have everything drained now would be the time if unknown history.

Gauges-just factory right now, but that cts3 was promised. I did recieve a pyrometer drill/tap from riffraff.
Turbo wheel- looks ok, not ragged or dusted. Shaft seemed nice and tight. May upgrade sometime, but would like some gauges before I stray too far from stock. There would be another laundry list of items if/when I dig in back there. Need to let my credit card stop smoking first.
Oil cooler-brand new, just recieved yesterday. I have had a seal/gasket kit in my new parts pile for a couple of weeks now. Going to try to get that on today in addition to the fan/shroud, the 4 radiator/degas hoses, and the coolant filter. I plan on pressure testing the cooling system again before I throw $80 worth of coolant in there.

Forgot to mention the new block heater, while I am there. Farmers almanac is calling for a cold winter. The almanac is supposed to be 80% accurate, not sure you can say the same for the local weather guessers.

I guess I need to use the word disappointed. Not trying to light anybody on fire, I know s#$t happens. Last communication with the injector service I used was about 2 weeks ago, was told they should ship on the first. No shipped confirmation email yesterday. Still hoping they shipped anyway.

You said the "ccv oring spit out"
Did you mean split out, or was it not in the correct alignment like it had been spit out by pressure? If it was split and you are replacing the ccv orings you can use your used injector orings for the ccv ones to save a couple bucks

The ccv orings grew in diameter, like they grew in length. Nice tip, but I already installed the seal kit from riff raff. I have done the sit the oil fill cap on the tube test, passed. Same thing happened with my dipstick to pan adapter oring. There I installed the strictly deisel billet adapter with 2 orings. A little pricey, but now dry as a bone for a year now. Can't wait to see what oring fails next. Still quite a few original orings left, don't want to call them out and jinx myself.
