Have you ever completed the project , men I am telling you now , you are one brave men attacking job like that.

Hey friend. Thanks for all the response to your series. I pulled my oil pan and was getting ready to but my kit but decided to do a pressure test and my water is coming from the very from of the crankcase. Mines probably going to be the water pump which looks like death lol. It's the most rusted part I've ever seen. My pump is right under the alternator. Looks like a real fun job if you know what I mean. Guaranteed to snap a few bolts.

Totally worth, nice truck probably most durable, reliable engine, nice video, good luck.

Hello fellow driver I followed you channel and watched you do the inframe on your truck, well I broke down in South Carolina and was wondering if you knew anyone who would come and counter bore the block for me

Cheering for you!!!! You got this....Can't wait for the vids.

hell yeah bro we have the same engine and truck. been looking for videos like this. youll be the first one for sure.

Yeah I'm making one. The dang parts was the worst part of the job. Sent me a pump without the oil ring. I finally found a good manual from manual monkey. A parts page finally showed an exploded view of everything making if much easier than anticipated. Broke a few bolts, rounded one completely...that took most of a day to get the right extractor lol. Still I'd do 5 of these instead of what you did

Oil has additives that will absorb water to keep it away from moving parts.When it is that saturated that you can drain it out the oil additive package is depleted.If coolant gets below the sensor and shuts the truck down.You can unplug it andnit will run.This will get you off the road and to a place to get more coolant.Watch the temps and do not over heat it.

Are you from NC? Do you work on others truck?

I had to borrow that piston pulled myself. And when you remove those pistons , you’ll need two people. See the video I did of that. They are fkn heavy! Tool, sleeve and piston kit all together. Heavy! Never mind. I just saw your other videos.

How much was the kit ma man?

I’m rebuilding the same motor. It’s in my 2005 western star 4900ex. I got a bunch of video with some shitty editing jobs 😂 on my channel. I gutted my western star engine all the way to the egr cooler and oil cooler. I need to take those out and I’m debating pulling the block and just having someone engine shop rebuild it and I’ll reinstall it. I’m not sure which way I’m going with it yet. Just search my channel for videos uploaded. I also own a Columbia 07 with the exact same motor. I had that rebuilt at the dealer in 2016 for 17k. That included an egr cooler and a new reman had. It has blow by since 5 weeks after the rebuild. But don’t burn oil and oil stays clean for 8k miles of work. You pull the dipstick and it’s gold oil like new. It’s crazy. But the pig has blow by. I can’t explain it and neither can the shop who did the inframe. They said as long as it don’t burn oil or leave puddles it’s fine. A quarter size spot after idling all night is no big deal they said. You think your engine is bad? 😂 You should see the western Star I got and see what I got out of that engine. Mud. Pure mud!

Saw you over on DD . Hope it goes well for you. I’ve heard good things about Interstate McBee parts. Western Truck and Tractor has a lot of good info on his Tube channel. You don’t see much about 14.0 emissions engines. Tons of videos about 12.7s . Liner counterbores seem to need close attention on them. If they need cutting do it. What state are you in? That sand you laying in looks like Eastern N.C. sand. Damn heavy equipment has a thousand ways to break a man’s heart and his wallet.

you mean EGR Cooler mixed coolant and oil?

You may have told this but how many miles on this truck when this happened

Hi since im first one i get subs yay

How many miles?

Where is the egr on here. Do it go on the driver side?

Sad Story

I am losing coolant and don't see where it goes. I also see white smoke coming from exhaust pipe
