Message: [QUOTE="Countrycar, post: 1550305, member: 11769"] Tomango, I have lost very little coolant, but it's literally almost nothing. Maybe a couple of inches from the degas bottle fill line. So it appears that I caught it early. I'm running 5-40, and just added some 15-40 to top it back off after dropping the 1gl from the oil pan to check for water there. Again, I didn't see any water in the oil that I dropped from the pan, so that is one good thing. :toast: The only coolant I've seen is in the bottom of lower pockets of the head, and again it was very little. So at this point this what I've done. I've consulted with a few Diesel Techs and engine builders, and based off of my symptoms I being told to look for cavitation in the front cover. So, It seems this is a place where this type of scenario is prevalent, something I never new about. So, the engine is coming out, I'll disassemble the engine back down to the front cover, hopefully find out the issue is cavitation, replace the cover, reinstall the accessories etc, and then do a coolant pressure check, and back in the truck it goes. Please let me know if you have any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
