New owner torn on a new truck.

Little update for you since its been a couple weeks. Overall truck is doing good. It did blow the turbo and take out the decomp tube and a few other things. But warranty took care of the whole bill and had me up and running again in 24 hours. Turns out the inside of one of the tubes rusted and said rust flakes got sucked into the turbo and did unspeakable things to it. So....that happened.

No weird sounds. No check engine lights and so far is a direct upgrade to the green one in every way. Also averageing around 5.7 mpg. But thats only 9k miles of running and a lot of it uphill so we will see what the true average is after a couple months.

Also arent internationals supposed to be loud squeeky and rattly? This one is whisper silent....no really i have a DB meter and my pete was always at around 110+ and got upto 130+ with the peak being 143 when the fan was on. All day every day.....This one peaks at 45ish and usually is around 20-25 and the only rattle is whats in my fridge.

 

Well this is concerning. Idled all night and woke up to this. Its also leaking out the back....

 

Most likely. Wont know for sure till i can get it into a shop. There is a support strut right below the opening up there im too big to fit around. So i cant see real well where its dripping from. Also everything back there has a thick layer of dirt and oil so that doesnt help either. But unless its coming from the top of the bell houseing only thing i can think it would be is the rear main.

 

I cleaned that one up and used some UV oil dye there. Its coming from the front cover and dripping down. Theres also some at the head at the same corner but i cant tell if its a leak or just blowing there from the fan.

Tried the UV trick for the back too but since i cant get up there god forbid clean it i cant really tell.
