Got it back together and started

It cranked back up after some complaining but finally mellowed out some.
RCD EGR delete, rebuilt oil cooler, cleaned out manifold, and reconditioned turbo. Still have to tighten the new up-pipe to the manifold. By the time I found the leak it was too hot to deal with right now.

I have new respect for diesel mechancics now after this job.

Yes it does. still have to do a coolant flush, but that is tomorrow. Coolant filter will be here Tuesday. Knowing how thick my wallet still is feels great too.

It seam like every time you take on of these trucks to the dealer you get a bill for over $2K. There is alot of money to be saved doing things your self.
