Oil in coolant

Dieselfever · Apr 16, 2013

What would cause oil to mix into the coolant, Oil cooler obviously but is there anything else possible? What all is involved in doing an oil cooler on one these trucks? Thanks in advance

Oil cooler.

Best way is to remove the cab. Turbo comes off and fuel bowl too. U can lease the intake manifold on. And a good flush.

Is it possible to do with the cab on? Probably not fun I'd imagine

You can do the cooler cab on.

I didn't say it was fun...LOL. heck I have my cab off right now to reroute my wastegate/build ne up pipes, and put a new front cover on the engine.

Front cover too.

How many miles are on the truck and what gears are in it?

Front cover would only do coolant in the oil though, not oil in the coolant.

I didn't want to muck up his thread, I reused my old cover on the new motor because the reman motor had a stripped out hole in it. I had a slight coolant loss and found coolant in the oil so I pulled my cover and found cavitation. Putting a new cover on today.
