Here is the oil analysis. What do you guys think? https://docs.google.com/file/d/147T7egRdpFC7dAGRqXOiFtsdQPyXKJ3ouNJGSLAG9rexvB2oDuj151A1U5J5/edit

Well truck got dropped off monday evening. Got to see a nice duramax in the shop getting its second built motor(the crank was in two pieces on the floor from the first motor)being put back together in the truck, twins, whole nine yards. Makes me wonder how some of these young guys afford big...

Ya not real sure. Hopefully Monday the guy will have something to tell me and that my oil analysis comes back.

I'm assuming you guys are talking about a pressure test on the cooling system? I can get access to a tech II.

I will. Ya I have been preparing myself. Not real happy but I ready to face it. If it is head gaskets would it be wise to do injectors while it's apart? Or check injector rates and if they seem fine just do hg and roll with it?

Hoses look fine. Unless I don't know what I'm looking at I cannot find a sign of coolant leaking. Looks like I'll find out Monday.

Well a new radiator cap in and still not building pressure.

That will be done today.

Any other suggestions guys?

Well I was looking again, I did notice on the drivers up pipe there was some like dried white residue. If they were leaking externally wouldn't I smell it, unless it leaks under maybe high boost and it dries/the air moves the smell before u can detect it?

i actually pumped all the coolant out of the resivoir to check for oil or soot and the coolant was pretty clean. The no pressurizing is what confuses me. Everything i have read says top hose rock hard and it will hold pressure after system has cooled off. Mileage has been around 13-14 since i...

Well heres the issues guys, I just picked this truck a little over a month ago. It was warming up on day, i got in the low coolant was on. I added coolant. Well since then i have had to add coolant to it, Maybe a gallon and a half in 2 1/2 weeks. Well last week i was looking around for a coolant...
