Oil in radiator/loss of oil pressure I/C'd motor
Well my buddy has a truck i have not had a chance to look at or diagnose yet.... He just says it has oil in the radiator and no engine oil or pressure.... any ideas where to start??? he has the head off now...
|
Oil cooler behind were the oil filter mounts. He should have pulled that first not the head.
Have him pull that and check for leaks.. http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j0...ooler-Core.jpg |
YEP OIL COOLER IS FIRST THING TO CHECK ALSO TRANS COOLER IF ITS A AUTOMATIC
|
well I'll be doing the work... how do you ''check'' the oil cooler for leaks other than an obvious external leak???
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- just did a search and its about gotta be the cooler.... i'll be honest i didn't even know it had one.... thanks guys!!! now he's still gotta buy HG's intake and exhaust gaskets too... lol sucks to be him... |

IT REALLY TAKES A SPECIAL FIXTURE TO PRESSUREIZE THE OIL COOLER ON THE OIL SIDE OF THE COOLER AND IT HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM SIDE OF BLOCK TO DO IT. YOU COULD REMOVE IT AND TAKE IT TO CUMMINS AND THEY COULD CHECK IT FOR YOU ALSO POSSIBLY NOW A DODGE DEALER COULD. KEEP PRESSURE AT TEST TO 65-70 LBS, NO MORE !

Take the caps lock off there bud...
