Just got the DRIP'S
My truck for sure has a case of the drips 
I have cleaned it up again and hoped that it was not true or not my truck leaving the drips in the parking spots. I changed my Turbo a couple weeks ago and all was good for a while, also changed all the o-rings but I did not gut the pedestal. I just zip tied the rod to the fuel line just in case I ever wanted to hook it back up. Now just try and guess were the frigging leak is. Have you ever called yourself a dumb azz?

Well I guess I can take it all back off and clean up down there a little more and plug the rod hole. I put on the GTP 38R with the 1.15 housing so I did already delete the EBPV housing.<O></O>
Can anyone think of anything else I should do while I back in there.
I just cant stand having a leak of any type.

Yes it does. But at least I will really get it clean back there, what I didnt get the last time I will get this time.

Thanks for reminding me Jason
I think I will take the Dr's advise and get the shot but it might be a double and burn going down.
Its not going to be that bad this time I hope.

You should zip right through this after just doing it. All the bolts should be easy to get off and the clamps also. I think I would change the 0-rings again.

Rick it has only been 2 weeks do you think I should still change them again. I plan on doing it this weekend so I cant get a ring kit from Bob in time but I guess I can run down to the dealer and get a set. Does the dealer have viton o-ring?

Eddie PM Ron. He had some advice regarding torque specs that he felt were better than what a lot of directions say because they torque too much and cause leaks. I can't remember what the numbers were though.

Jason made a good point, I torqued mine per Rons info, ped=20fp and 18fp turbo I think, can't remember unless I check. I noticed a light ammount of oil on my pedestal coming from above the accuater valve. Cleaned it up and i'll look again in a couple days. Before you pull everything and Ron might agree, just loosen up the turbo bolts a smidge, I think Ron did that and it stopped seeping..He'll pop on and verify..

. I didn't rebuild my EBPV assembly, hope its not that on mine. I,m hoping it just residule leftover from the switchout, maybe I didn't get it all, who knows, we'll see..Good luck Eddie

It will get fixed tomorrow if at all possible. What size Plug does it take to plug the rod hole off 1/8 or 1/4 NPT ?

Its easy to see that its leaking at the actuator rod and its getting worse quick maybe because the rods in a different angle than it was for the last almost 10 years. I took it a good drive today and looked in the back with a die lite while it was running and I could see a mist of smoke coming out around the rod so I know the seal is shot. It will get fixed tomorrow if at all possible. What size Plug does it take to plug the rod hole off 1/8 or 1/4 NPT ?
