    Need a rebuild in ohio!

    Ive heard of redline, and my buddy took his truck there. Not sure if i really cared for their work. Took his lml in for an egr delete and looks like they just put a h&s on and unplugged the egr valves to me. Merchant is a good idea and maybe dirty hooker diesel. What would a ball park price be...

    Blowby, haze, rattling from fill tube! Did head gaskets

    I dont know what else to think. My bosses is completely stock. Makes identical noise. Im just gonna say screw it. I cant hear it unless the fill cap is off so whatever. Yea i have that filter off but currently installing an hsp 3 inch y-bridge so ill see if it makes a difference tomorrow...

    If it is the water pump does it need replaced? Or will it be fine? I really dont feel like changing it now after all that work. AC delco pump too. Smh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ok well im not too concerned on the noise, what about the exhaust hazing and white smoke coming out if the fill tube? Is a little blow by normal on these? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha being 21 with high cost hobbies and more bills than i need gets rough at times [emoji28] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    And that noise has to be directly related to something in timing cover. I did have timing cover off too to re seal. But its inaudible once cap is on, if it was so bad you'd think it would resonate past?? Im not sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
