Thanks for the help! How many hours does it take to get to the HPOP?
You can do it in a night.
For me it wasn't the most pleasant job, but it's pretty straight forward.

Just by looking under the truck, I can see a engine oil leak coming down onto the transmission crossmember. If the no start is due to low ICP, why was there no DTC's? I know there are codes related to oil pressure, so why none?
Also, is there a write up anywhere on how to get to the HPOP to check the stc fitting, etc?
And would a stc / hpop problem be externally leaking?

There was no codes when I had this problem.
And oil on the motor/trans.... To me, that's just a diesel thing lol[/QUOTE
Went and checked again, and it's trans fluid, so nothing to do with engine.
Got the intake and degas bottle off...take off the ficm and turbo next, and the HPOP should be accessible then, right?
k guys I've been working on my truck a little, and got the ficm and turbo / turbo pedestal off. Does the egr have to come off now too, or can the bolts on the HPOP cover be loosened without?
Kind of surprised...never done much mechanic work in my life, and I'm probably 2 hours in or so.
Thanks again for the help! PSA rocks!

Also, do I have to get the STC "updated kit", or can I get just the updated fitting? I realize the kit would be the best, but will just the fitting fix the current problem?
The kit is the fitting and new o rings so it's pretty much what you're saying. The stc fitting will most likely fix it, the dummy plugs and stand pipes usually aren't at fault, so you can try the stc fitting first. Cause the stand pipes and dummy plugs are under the valve covers
I could get a 8mm wrench on those bolts under the EGR, but I can't get enough torque on them in that small of a space. And I don't want to round them off...guess I'll keep trying.
I'm just going to do the STC fitting for now and hope that fixes it...I'm planning on selling the truck after it is fixed. Not that I don't care about the future of the truck, but no sense in me putting extra money in it for someone else.
Any tips on getting those bolts out under the EGR? Maybe I have the wrong concept using the 8mm wrench, although I'm not sure anything else will fit in there.
