Put it in line to have the shop look at it. They said it will be Wednesday or Thursday. At least they let me keep it until then. I work next door.

I cannot find a leak. No carbon marks around up pipe connections.

My guess is that the turbo is severely stuck

they are actually on my rotating avatar, i will get some more tho nothing that great, heck just some old lights they get water in them also even tho i covered the back of them with gasket maker, gonna do it again and put a shield over the back.

i figured i can get some of them fancy led backups and replace them sometime.

Got the truck fixed today. Y pipe was misaligned and a sensor had come loose.
