    Blown head gasket

    If oring #3 splits your coolant will mix with your oil. If oring #4 splits you get a puddle of oil under your truck. I would think oil cooler before head gasket. Do you see any water trails anywhere on the head?

    First Diesel Purchase

    I wouldn’t rule out fitment. You have one assembly line that runs all models if you mash a downpipe so it fits.

    First Diesel Purchase

    When I had my idi, I put the powerstroke exhaust on it, it’s a little larger. It did help it breath better. Using that logic, when I redid my powerstroke exhaust I went to 5”. It breaths pretty well.

    First Diesel Purchase

    That could be but I think it was more of a fitment issue. When you get under there and look you’ll see why. Just not much room between motor and body pinch weld.

    First Diesel Purchase

    Resist the temptation to use a K&N or that style washable gauze filter. Allows small particles through that eventually wear turbo blades especially in dusty environment.

    92 F350 starter problem

    It has two. One on the firewall feeding the one on the starter. Your glow plug relay is mounted on the engine. I know this says 97, but your 92 is wired like this.

    Bandaid on a bullet wound

    It’s probably coming from the top of the engine. There is a drain hole at the rear passenger side of the intake manifold. Also a fuel leak can look like oil after it runs through all the grime. Find the leak up top and you may solve the bell housing problem.
