I just bought a 2003 king ranch 6.0 in texas and drove it 1300 miles home [my god does this thing burn fuel] and now I noticed antifreeze dripping from the top rear right hand side of the engine.any ideas?

 

egr cooler problem would be my guess.

 

welcome to diesel bombers and i hope you get the answer your looking for

 

Back right side of the motor where the burp bottle is? Sounds like a leak from the overflow bottle or line possibly. And worse case senero head gaskets. Is there any antifreeze in the oil? or vice versa?

 

thanks for the info and I found it .it seems that the hose that goes to the EGR cooler is the problem.

 

Look under under the front pass side of the turbo. See if there is an orange hose about 3 inches long coming off the oil cooler. If its the orange one which is common to leak and runn off the right rear corner of the engine it will need to be upgraded to the blue one.

 

thanks for the answers and it was the hose at the egr cooler. Its all fixed and I changed the turbo oil discharge pipe at the same time. Now only thing left is to increase the MPG any suggestions??????

 

have you looked at an air kit
KN and S&B are a few that makes them
supose to increase mpg

what are you getting now?
i am getting 15 mpg

i have a stock truck with a S&B air kit...

 

I am getting 15.5 mpg average but with my old dodge 5.9 I am getting a whole lot better about 21 mpg. i just put in a chip that is suppost to give me 2-5 mpg more and about 50 hp.I drove to the dump and those 50 horses must have been asleep and tomorrow I will drive to the city and will find out if my fuel milage gets any better
