No sir I never did the BB conversion on sxe472. It's been one problem after another trying to get the truck to the point where I can just drive it with out issue. And again, the truck is actually down rightnow. About 2 months ago I discovered that I have a very small amount of coolant in my Oil...

Yup, that would be Leonard. He's done a great job with the VGT he installed. Good stuff!

Just to catch everyone up, I dropped the oil and removed the oil filter as well, pressured up the coolant system and sure enough I do have coolant in my oil pan. Albeit, it's very little, but it is there. So, my next step, will be to look into a cavitation issue from the front cover. Hopefully...

I'll post up some pictures so y'all can get a better idea of what I'm seeing. The picture of the valve covers is what really set me off about a possible problem. The next picture is of the driver side head. The following day after the truck sat all night, it was at this point that I decided to...

Ok,well based off of my research and a conversation I had with a buddy, as well as what I've heard here from y'all, I think at this point I'm going to start by doing a coolant pressure test. If the coolant leaks from the filter housing then the oil cooler would be suspect. If the coolant leaks...

Its not to much work to do for sure, but correct me if I'm wrong and from my own understanding is that I should have oil in the degas bottle as well. The idea being that the oil is under higher pressure than the coolant, therefore in this scenario, one would see coolant in the oil pan, but more...

Tomango, I have lost very little coolant, but it's literally almost nothing. Maybe a couple of inches from the degas bottle fill line. So it appears that I caught it early. I'm running 5-40, and just added some 15-40 to top it back off after dropping the 1gl from the oil pan to check for water...

Hey Guys, I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before and can direct me which way I need to proceed here. Let me begin by saying that about 4 weeks ago I had done an Oring job on my injectors after a no start condition had presented itself and my diagnoses concluded that my injector Orings were...

Thank you my friend. I did end up calling Fullforce diesel and they walked me thru the procedure. Great guys to deal with as well. I made a wrench to remove that back stud you mentioned (13mm) removed the top pump with the billet block attached and then the lower pump. All in all it wasn't a bad...

I'm getting prepared to remove my BTS Twin Pumps so figured I would ask to see if there is anything that I need to be aware of before I do. My goal is to remove the system due to the fact that one of the mounting holes on the bottom pump is stripped out, so I need to remove the kit and install a...

Hey Corey, do you have any more info on the Aluminum Heads that we were discussing here? Would love to hear more about this.

Hey Corey, just wondering if you've managed to complete this installation as well as any information you can share with us with here.

Appreciate it, thank you sir. Unfortunately it won't be until later this year before I can get the live tuning done. I'm very tempted to pick up the minotaur software and train myself and make the changes I need. :rockon:

Well we'll see later this year how this all plays out. I hope to be able to get the truck on Matt's dyno this year and make some adjustments to the tuning. Hopefully this is just all it is. I had 238/80's for about 14 yrs and they did run very clean as well. I'm now running 3/2s so the tuning...

Thats the kind of info I was looking for. Very Helpful, Thank you sir. PM sent.
