Message: [QUOTE="Oconco68, post: 1564320, member: 38299"] Hey thanks for the info. I really did not want to put top back together knowing it will be coming dark off, but I had to find the reason for the oil getting into the coolant. I got lucky and that was the problem. There is so much to think about as for improving the issues. This is not a customers truck that they just want back in service. You know the deal when you know what it needs and the cost involved in doing it and the cost of not. Good thing is that there is not a rush. I am pulling the cab off. On the 6.0 manifold deal. I seen a Black Bandit 6.0 manifold kit. Have you seen it, thoughts… I have looked at the KDD o ring heads new. I am going to open it up. They said they did a DPF early. It’s one of those rabbit holes. How far do you go. I don’t know how far I will go. I will address a whole range of issues though. You have the darn front cover and water pump deal. Relocating kits ect. That’s why I will just lift cab off and open her up. The truck does need some type of tuner, this is my handicap, I do not know much about that. I would appreciate any advice on that. As for the transmission, I have the one on the truck of course and I have a 2010 transmission, transfer case and front and rear differentials off of a truck a company rolled in 2015. Only thing I really know is the 6.0 ones are not interchangeable with the 6.4. 6 bolt 8 bolt deal thing going on with them. We were really thinking of getting another 250 or 2500 4WD, I have a Dodge with 480,000. I’ve owned it for 23 years. The damn motor is out lasting the truck. It is about $70,000 for a new one, Not happening, but I was looking at a 2020 F-250 but that is still about $40,000. I know I was hoping improvements total about $10,000 on this, motor only. It will be fun, my son will be right there cheering pop on for sure and the wife probably steel it, she loves the leather seats and wood look. I still have my Dodge….Ha [/QUOTE]
