Made it to my cousins over at Liberty Wednesday. Had a great time at the rally. Sorry I didn't get a chance to say bye to everyone before leaving. I will be heading East Saturday afternoon if anyone has issues on the road.

Glad you poked holes. Next step might be (without catching things on fire) to put some kind of rag or paper between the turbo and valley to exclude things. Maybe just idle the truck and wait for a drip.
Did I miss it in one of your post?
Can you remember if you punched holes in the valley pan for the new turbo install. Oil would tend to build up in that area an leak out.
Got most all packed (thanks to my wife). Had to install a mini split at my uncles house. Start at 7 end at 7. Couple of things to do in morning before heading to Hagerstown. No mufflers I will text you in morning around 7 to see where the convoy is.
Good to see others hauling fuel my plan is to bring some also.
My list:
Paint : Done
Wipers :Done
Oil Cooler : Done
Front End Alignment: Done
Pack Camp Stuff: Not Started
Saturday another busy day.
Planning Nachos For Tuesday
I am planning on meeting you at Hagerstown also. Did the group decide on the route from there? Between Wv or Ohio.

Well looks like I'm adding to the last minute fix-its. Started with the wiper motor then wanted to paint the hood in primer because of peeling clear coat. My son Daniel got wind of the paint and he volunteered to paint it. The whole top half. Now to put together. Nothing like the last minute. No...
As these trucks get older and harder to find it is difficult to find a good one. If you havent already bought the truck look some more. Where I live I use the four wheel drive a lot (on a hill) . Not just for snow but getting around. Love being able to use low range for moving trailers in tight...
Trucks back in service. Couple hundred miles so far. Still uses some water. Hopefully it wont let me down. Just changed it back over to "Rotella ELC anti freeze. Tractor Supply had best price. Also the coolant treatment from "Fleetpride". Still need to fix the wipers. Kinda important.
Marker's Mark Distillery
I would recommend anyone going to the Distillery to look at their website.

Lot of good info for the tour and the age restrictions, pets, ticket prices.
Working on a plan when visiting my cousin over at Liberty KY. So for now it's looking to be at the rally Tuesday -Friday morn.
Did get truck back in one piece but more to do. Still lugging around the damaged bed and the wipers decided to stop all together. The coolant leak appeared to be the...
Most likely just me for Clemson. Also visiting my cousin near Liberty KY the same time. Got the truck back in one piece for now. Well after rebuilding the oil cooler I am thinking a head gasket.
A cooler has to leak oil before it can leak water. Testing now.
Signed up for T-10 tent site.
I also have my truck apart. Front diff out to change bushings and springs. While I was at it I found where my coolant was going, out the oil cooler. Now that is apart also. Much easier while front diff is out.
Rally
Made the meeting in Hagerstown. To late to drive back to camp. Then I had to check on a chiller for a school while I was close. Will be heading back to rally this afternoon.

Im always open for your examples of what happens to IDI parts when they fail and why they failed. Some of your knowledge helps all of us.

I do refrigeration work also but mostly in the school system in Frederick County Maryland. Bought my compressor from Rock Auto they had best prices but I should have known that it was made in China. :dunno Works fine so far. I had a bad seal on my original pump...
I will be there "Reset2". Scheduled for 4 - 10 in one of the tent sites. Might have to narrow that down some as the event gets closer because of other commitments. Talked with the campground and changes to days booked will not be a problem as long as the whole reservation is not canceled. My dad...
One thing that should be added to one of the day trips would be "Longs Outpost". The main store is in Martinsburg PA, with a second store in New Paris. Both are great for the guys who like a good hardware store. The Martinsburg store has plenty shopping for the ladies not sure about the New...
I am impressed with Mel's knowledge and workmanship. After attending several IDI Weekends and talking to him on the phone a person or customer will never have a concern with him or his shop.
