Thanks I’ve been doin a lot of reading and watched about half the rebuild videos good stuff there thanks for that. Truck is sitting right now until I can get it back in shop. Is it possible that coolant could leak through the egr system if it’s not operational. Also what’s the best way to clean engine the soot, just run cheap oil through it till it clears up? My oil was black after I changed it. I was also thinking of installing the oil bypass filter to help keep it clean. I plan on doing 10-12k service depending on work load
