Ok.. 200 mile roud trip.. still leaking. I have to take the thing apart. I bet it's bent somehow where it goes together. Is it alot of trouble to remove the turbo drain tube? - considering the rubber hose and its attachment to the engine. Can barely reach this from the bottom.

Hwee I am in Memphis Equipment. Got in at 0730, and they are putting my truck back together. I'll have pics later but the entire rear side of the rearmost port of the exhaust manifold gasket was gone. Since everything had to be taken apart, it was a good decision to drive to Memphis and get...

RE: Re: Road Trip TX -> North, SEPT 29 - OCT 14 That's right.. I recall that. Well I went out and looked at this in the light of day. I don't see any evidence of damage from driving it, such as the supposed fire of the exhaust shooting out and hitting the wiring or the firewall. Maybe it is...
