    The 2 thermostats are best to each other at the top of engine. Under the hose.

    Okay thanks. I went under the truck and found out the fuel line splitter was almost loose and moving everywhere and the fitting was leaking.

    The boost connector was the problem. And now check engine light came on for baro press sensor. Is it something I should change right away or can it wait until I get to home?

    It’s probably the hose from air to air cooler to turbo blew out or just was loose and blew off.Muffler was probably already bad Unless just happened? Did you hear muffler noise worsen also ? Or same? Either way fix hose

    If it’s not big hose check small air intake hose from intake manifold to air compressor it sometimes is hard to see where it goes to the back of compressor. Often hose fails at compressor connection. Sounds like you’re problem

    Check engine light yellow may be stored ( old) code. Red light( active code) needs attention.

    Driving in heavy snow can cause over temps as the snow plugs off the air to air and radiator.

    It was my muffler that is clogged it popped and took the air hose with it 100 dollar fix but he told me that my air pressure is too high before the governor kicks in so I should look into replacing the compressor or checking the airlines to see if they are clogged.... also is it legal to run straight pipes... I might or might have not deleted the egr
