Ya I remember that engine. It was a nice one. Had a civi alternater and a bizarre exhaust set up after the turbo.

Put a breaker bar on the harmonic balancer and roll it over a few times. See if you feel or hear anything odd.

Keep at it man.

Yes. But I can just about promise the oil won't be clear. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the oil though. With a diesel you can't let black engine oil scare you. It's just going to happen.

I have always suggested gl-5 (80-90) in the axles. They need the high pressure additives. The transmission and transfer case don't

Man I'm with you. If your not confused enough already my f350 with the zf-650 takes atf. As does many other heavy duty gear boxes. If you don't think about it then it makes sense lol.

I'm not an ase certified master mechanic but I did stay at a holiday Inn express once.

I'm not going to entertain another senseless argument over the exact labeling of oil products when over and over lube manufacturers state that non detergent engine oil is interchangeable with gl-1 gear lube. Especially when the msds is almost exactly the same if not exactly the same depending...

Actually he's more correct than you realize. As I have stated over and over non detergent engine oil and gl-1 gear lube are just about identical. Hence why the guy who invented over dive for the deuce suggests it.

I feel like there is more going on with your transmission than what oil you used. 30 wt motor oil is almost exactly the same as gl-1 gear oil that these transmissions used for 50 or more years.

Well it would depend on how and when you checked it. But in this case you would be correct that the oil system does drain down. Now if he runs the truck and it gets even higher than before that would indicate a problem. If it consistently rises to the same spot then no.

Not always true. It can also be a sign of fuel or coolant intrusion.

All modern high quality oils have a potent detergent package that is intended to break down sludge. Your not going to cause a leak by switching from standard Rotella to Rotella t6 synthetic. Just an example. If something was leaking oil then chances are it was going to do so regardless of the...

No.

Also check that both of the tiny little holes in the bottom of the master cylinder are open and free of debris.

Yall do know that running modern detergent oils and changing your oil regularly prevents sludge build up. Basically eliminating the need to flush an engine.

The clip that holds the button and the hh o rings.

No I mean a circular piece of metal on the very bottom of the hh. It literally looks like a button.

He needs to put the relay into his fuse bank. Not in between the alternater and battery.

Ya I just use a wrench and get them goI'd and snug. Doesn't seem to be a problem.
