Well another damn problem (6.5 TD)

[CokeZero]

Okay so I noticed a small puddle under the truck one day and thought it was the AC. Then yesterday I noticed the temp gauge at 3/4 so I pulled over and turned it off and walked to buy some coolant. I have an apparent leak somewhere but can't tell where its coming from. Its dripping under the passenger door. When looking up from the bottom it looks like its coming from the firewall, running down and dripping by the door. It leaked out about a gallon in 6 hours. Any ideas what this could be?

Check the heater core hose connections on the passenger side firewall...

Well I think I found yer' problem. It's the 6.5! Cummins time

6.0 gasser time would be more cost effective, and I know how to do the wiring easily!

The power of the Cummins might be too much for him, he'd have to reinforce the frame, beef up the suspension, swap the driveline for something that can handle that much power. Toss in all of the fuel he'd save and it's just too much! The 6.0 gasser is a far better choice in case women and/or pre-pubescent boys end up driving that rig... ;-)

 

[Horns]

Hahaha yes! I'm not bashing the 6.0L. Diesel is just a passion that only those who have the bug will understand.

I like both, gas engines are fun, but so is cruising around with a 4 or 5 inch straight exhaust off of the turbo and listening to the turbo spool up!
