    I have gone to a local supplier of o-rings and seals for the hydraulic industry. They can usually source anything I need, or at least they seem to know what the heck they are looking at when ever I show them something new.

    Update on this...Freightliner now sells a pass-thru o-ring kit. Imagine that. $450 to replace the pass-thru and they have an o-ring kit available. Scoundrels, f@#$ing scoundrels!!!

    Wait until 400-500 K miles on it and you’ll experience the whole bundle of Modern German engineering Marvell’s, such as engine oil leaks , atifreaze leaks, faulty fuel injectors, crakes oil o-rings on oil pic up tube and on and on...

    Mine has 713k, I have no oil leaks. Coolant doesn't care about your engine, especially if you have a Cumapart. I would highly recommend you begin changing every coolant line at 500k regardless of the engine. The oil pump issues have been rectified. Now, if you're believing there's a truck or engine out there that'll give you a million miles of trouble free performance, ask Caterpillar Cumapart, Paccar, Detroit, Mercedes and Volvo why they don't fix known issues.
