They said Matt was out of state so it could take longer than normal

Well just checked the oil and coolant and pulled the oil fill cap off. Coolant is low. Oil seemed fine. Oil fill cap had black sludge on it....that is not good! Cracked block? Cracked head? Oil and coolant temps show to be fine, maybe 2-3 degrees difference. Truck runs fine. Minus the sludge I just found

I hate to be the one to say it ....... But black "pudding" on the oil fill is tell tale antifreeze in the oil. Most likely cracked block.

For your sake I hope not!

Ya that's what I'm afraid of...

Remove the oil filler/CCV and look around under the valve cover. Hopefully you WONT find this.

At least the elbow is purty. Sorry buddy.

webb06 · May 28, 2013

Who knows a few threads where the blocks have cracked so I can kinda see pictures of where they crack at.

Thanks

Crack85 · May 28, 2013

Sure seems like everyone that does a build now has a cracked block....sucks buddy.

I just completed a built 6.4 last week.

Ran 60 miles, drank a gallon of coolant.

It's back out on the ground this week.

The customer is super excited.

Crack in the block 2" long

Ughhh

Was the crack along the casting line or inline with the stud?

Along the line. Goes perpendicular across the stud. I have two in my shop right now with similar cracks on opposite sides of the two different blocks. Passenger side of one block and driver side on the other block.
