Fuel in valve cover

Question about the tranny cooler on 6 liter trucks
My only thing with the E4OD is that it has very poor design when it comes to the valvebody and this causes un-needed heat in the trans. The 6.0l era had the Ford engineers going overboard in their designs and put an extra large cooler, high volume pump, larger cooler lines, and external...- sootman73

Buddy got a 6.0, few questions
Edge is an iffy tuner for the 6.0l's they tend to make power by increasing timing which causes a lot of headgasket failures in these motors. He'd be better off getting rid of that tuner and getting an SCT with custom tunes written by someone with experience tuning these motors. Also get a...- sootman73

dripping from clutch inspection cover
You should be able to pull that cover off and that might allow you to look at where the oil is coming from. If its on the trans side of the clutch then its your trans seal. If it runs down the motor side of the flywheel then its your rear main seal.- sootman73
