[QUOTE="6.7 Powerstroker, post: 1497598, member: 25084"] I finally got around to doing the test and the blue fluid stayed blue. I've also not been low on coolant again so I'm thinking I need a new diesel mechanic. He seemed certain I had a head gasket issue. He also told me my truck had an noise while idling and thought I had excessive cam wear and said the only way to check was to cut open my oil filter and check for metal. So I of course watched him very carefully while he removed the filter cut it open then cut out a piece of the filter, squeezed out the oil, and unfold it all to find nothing. That was after about 4500 miles on the oil. He said he'd just had another 6.7 come in with a similar idle and it had metal in the filter caused by the rocker arms getting off center causing excessive wear on the cam. Not to say it couldn't happen but he had me thinking both times I may need a lot of work done when it looks like he was wrong both times. That's how it looks now anyways. I'm still waiting for the oil analysis. I did make a video of the block test. On a positive note, I did get a new tune from Power stroke Enginuities to help with the turbo flutter and the code I kept getting and after loading it today I haven't got it to flutter again and so far no code.
