Diesel engines create very little heat when not under load. I'll usually start mine up and let it idle for a couple minutes before I idle it up. I'll usually set it around 1500-1800 when I do idle it up. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Have you looked inside the frame rail? They might be hard to track down. Maybe someone cut the line or its plugged Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

That's possible also. Especially with the oil seepage. I'm not sure which engine it was but one of the engines they used in the deuces had head gasket issues frequently Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

It sounds like you could be looking in the right direction. You could have a broken ring or a worn out cylinder liner. If it has decent compression do a leak down test. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Any other symptoms such as heavy blobby? Oil level increasing? Coolant loss? Smoke? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Thanks all for the welcoming and the advice! I havent had any issues with the transmission yet, but that bridge will come one day I'm sure lol. I'll probably wind up doing the flush just because in my experience with Allison's (mostly 3000 and 4000 series from my civilian jobs), I know...

I've been reading about the trans fluid. And I've decided at some point soon its gonna get flushed and some good atf put in. Does it work well with dex/merc? Or do I need to get that high dollar transynd (spelling?) allison fluid? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
