Thanks! Truck is still under warrAnty, and I bought aftermarket warrAnty. So I'll try that route first.

So, put air pressure to the CAC while heating it up and it's leaking. But only leaks when it's hot.

Tony helped me check it at his ford dealer he works at, but we couldn't find it when the cooler was cold. Took it home and threw it on the cooktop till it got to 250degrees. Low and behold the POS was leaking then.

6.0tech(Tony) is hooking me up at his dealer to get a new one. He's TOP NOTCH! Thanks again Tony for everything!!

I'll update this after the new one is on.

Pics of my homemade Air leak setup lol

Zipties are to keep that piece on. I now have a hole in my garage ceiling lol.

Glad to hear you found the leak! A lot of the time they gotta be cooking hot to leak. My buddies 05 duramax will only eat coolant when it's hooked up to the holiday trailer and heavy pedalin. He's still trying to find the damn leak ahaha. Can never get it on the pressure test when it's cold or Luke warm...

Oh most definitely, can be a real SOB to find haha

So, just an update. Towed 13-14k to CA. Truck doesn't puke at all anymore. Unloaded, the code I was getting is gone completely.

While towing up a hill or merging on an on-ramp that was uphill, I still got the P026A code.

I did tow in the race tune, so boost was higher then normal. Pretty much the computer is freaking out.

Higher boost equals higher charge temps and my code is then set.

Talking with Mike about just turning off that code. No need for it.

Other then that. This truck is running insanely good.

No limit cac?

A more efficient cac will cool air better but will put more strain on the secondary system because it transfers more heat.

Jacob @ No Limit · Jul 18, 2016

Is that what he went with or oem?

Ah sorry wasn't paying attention to the last few posts so my reply was out of context, Sounds like he went with stock.

Was able to get my stocker warrantied. Can't beat free... One day a IC from Mike will find its way in there.

ive yet to hear of any leak or issue with the system from one of ours. has yours leaked other than blowing gaskets ?

No. Nor did I suggest that yours leaked.

I thought someone was suggesting an aftermarket cac as a solution to a secondary system that is overheating.

Again my reply was out of context, I didn't read the last page to see that it was a defective cac causing the issue.

Quick on the trigger there... I have no issues with my no limit cac, only my head gaskets.
