Just go ahead and pull the hh. It's not that big of a deal. Chances are the button came off. Which is an irritating and common problem.
It's comparatively rare for a booster pump to go bad.
First and foremost make sure all of your lug nuts are tight. I had a front tire coming loose on one of my one tons the other day. Left turns made a horrendous clunking noise. Front left tire had all 8 lug nuts coming loose.
Then check the front wheel bearings and u joints inside the knuckles...
I got mine from white owl. They were new manufacture. I liked the new lines. They were very nice quality. Just some of the bends weren't perfect. They were very close though. But the tubing they were made of was very strong.
I know injector lines are tough steel to begin with but I could...
If your injector lines were as rough as mine were you would understand.
On a side note the injector lines I bought were made from a way tougher steel tubing than the old ones. I busted 3 really good tubing benders trying to adjust the lines. They didn't line up perfectly.
Never mind how porous bondo is. I can only speak for myself but no ridicule was intended. Just honestly hoping he isn't patching rust with bondo. It will only make it worse. Much worse.
I have a 2000 pound engine stand that I put a 6.0 powerstroke on. It weighs about as much as the cummins you are working on. All I have to say is i was pretty nervous with how much the engine would sway while I torqued bolts. I was excited to get it off of that stand.
Just a warning to everyone wanting all of these super slick oils....your transmission may scratch worse when you shift. The syncros need an oil that has a little resistance to it to slow the gears down so they mesh properly.
40w non detergent oil is basically the same thing as gl-1 gear oil. They are right at about the same viscosity and they both are base stock oil.
The lube order changed on the exact same transmission. If gl-1 worked for 40 years and suddenly the army changes the lube order.....well so what...
