Since Ive owned the truck I haven't pulled the covers which have only been for the past 60-70k

Also there is no visual oil leaking outside besides a very small leak on my turbo pedestal. Oil stays right at full between my 6-8k oil changes

The LPOP and HPOP both have been replaced within the year of my hpop res draining. Ive brought it to a mec and he said it was most likely the hpop failing so I went ahead and bought a new one and had him replace it (gran later) and still didnt fix it. Then after that wasting of money I did more...

I just pull the check plug up top and put a clean 6in long screw driver down it to check the level and it usually comes out clean with no oil. After its warm and I go to start it up throughout the day it stays full. Thats Im thinking its some type of o-ring thats worn and is leaking after the...

What else could drain the hpop reservoir? Any tests that I can do to narrow it down to what the problem is?

What are some good websites to look up/ get parts for my trans build?

Ya haha sorry bout that. Ya I was thinking either 160/100s or 238/80s but probably go with 160/100s. I dont want to have it blow up on me 300-400 miles from home with a load on the back haha. Thanks for all your help and advice. Ill post a progress report when I start working on it. I would...
