well i finally got to the point where i could roadtest the f350 that ive been working on. i tried to a few weeks ago, but transmission was low in fluid so it wouldnt shift. turned around came home and truck starting running rough..was almost out of diesel..then the lower rad hose came off losing all the coolant (i guess it wasnt tight enough?)..so good thing we turned around, or woulda been stranded.
so today i got some diesel, and coolant. filled them up, started it up, let it idle to make sure the hose stayed on. got it up to temp (installed pyro, OP gauge, and water temp while it was sitting) went down the road, turned around, went a little further (didnt want to push luck this time) turned around again, came back and left a nice cloud of smoke behind.
one thing i cant seem to figure out is the water leak i have in the cab..its on the drivers side, and its a pretty bad one..getting my floorboard all wet. what is a common place to check? how can i see if its leaking without sitting in there while its raining or someone spraying it with water?
thanks guy for all the help.
also, next big addition im going to do is hydroboost conversion, i keep hunting on ebay for a decently priced one but nothing, would one from a f600 or f700 work?
