Spent all day sunday putting trans back in and finishing things up. Ran the truck down the road, came back found that I was leaking everything but ATF!
Diesel- from front 2 injector caps. (imagine that!)
OIL- possibly valve covers.
Coolant-??? While trans was out I cleaned off and sealed 3 leaky freeze plugs w/ jb weld. I pulled the inspection cover and eveything is dry there so the oil and coolant are coming from higher up.
I had the turbo off but there is no oil in the valley. Just diesel!
What am I missing here? I changed the Valve cover gaskets and rear main w/ trans out so why am I leaking coolant now? Front of motor is dry. Oil cooler is dry. There was a drip on the alternator bracket but the top hose was dry. All hoses are good.
On the road test trans shifted good. I can feel the converter lock now. WOT shifts are not so good so I need to adjust the FIPL.
I moved the Pyro to the manifold and fixxed my exhaust leak. I now see 4-5 psi @55mph and between 500-600 on the pyro. Went WOT for about a mile and got it up to 1300*! With the probe in the DP it was never over 1000* I guess that proves that these engine will run 1200-1300 for a few years w/ no problems.
