I'd say check the oil cooler(just above alt), I can't think of anything else on that side of the motor I was thinking the same unless it is coming out the over flow on coolant tank. Like the oil cooler went out internally and the oil PSI is coming out the coolant cap.

Wow That is a mess! I would look first in you coolant tank to see if there is oil there. How long did it run to make that mess?

That noise is normal. It is the coolant being heated.

Just a question. I have only ran the overhead on mine so far and when I jacked up the cab with the jack bolts it seemed to help. Are you taking the cab mounts loose and jacking up the cab as high as you can? It may be better if you would take the center rocker box off as well.

The one you call as new is a top stop injector and your old one is a type D injector and if that is what it has in the engine that is what you should replace it with. As far as I know you can't use 1 in place of another.

I just want to put this out; you would be fine with Dex 3 ATF. At Halliburton we used ATF in all of our hydraulics. We did not have trouble with any of our hyd components because of the fluid. I am not sure about the AW-68 but I would think any kind of a anti foam 10 weight hyd fluid would...

I will say this too. I take all my ground connections off and polish to nice clean metal and clean the wire end and i get rid of the star washer.

This kind of sounds like to me you are loosing connection to the battery be it a ground or power. I think i remember that freightliner went from bat ground to frame then from frame ground to components for a few years. I would start of by taking all the connections apart and clean them for sure...

On the pulling the liner (not on the LDS) but other diesels I have used a jack and an extension to reach the liner and Jacket it out. I am not an expert on these engines but in any cylinder you want some cross hatch on the liner or your rings will not seat. As to the grit not sure there will...

I would say to only get it off the road! The problem is the 5 ton out weighs the cucv by quite a bit and you can not get it stopped very well. I have made 1 recovery not from the base but from a buddies place where we put fluids back in it because it had been drained. we had no problems. I made...

You are correct the large hole is for the drain the small one is for the PSI. you need to loosen the clamps and rotate the center around.

I have not seen shim part numbers on here but I have seen the (plunger) Button part numbers. Increasing PT pressureLine #18 is where the button numbers are

I picked up a truck there a couple of months ago. If you are going to self recover and drive you have to have some sort of registration to be able to drive off. I have a local wrecker company pick it up and take it to there yard. Most of the local wrecker companies did not want to do the pickup...

I am not 100% sure but I think the bht3b is for the pickup model engine. I am putting a ht3b on mine

Cool truck! Looks like a neat project!!

I am interested in seeing more as you build this! I do not have any helpful info but would like to see the progress

The air dryer will not trigger your alarm. If the air dryer is bad you will not be able to build air (purge valve sticking and leaking air). With your low air light problem (I have not had this problem yet) It sounds like to me you have a connection problem which could be in your controller. If...

I would like to see a picture of your truck. Sounds like a interesting project!!

Good luck. Keep us posted and that pics.

Well I am glad you had a successful recovery.
