    I wanna get it pressure tested but idk how much they charge for that local shop is 75 an hour and cheaper with cash lol. It's been showing some but the numbers went up over 3 times what they been. I do notice oily stuff on my air compressor air intake line. It's not oil though it's very light color almost clear and oily

    I had coolant showing up in my samples once, just a slight increase but it kept increasing very slow. I took it to Cat, they pulled the pan pressurized the system and let it sit overnight. They could not get it to leak.

    Went back to work, one day I checked the oil and there it was, That nasty foamy honey chocolate looking crap. Out on the road. No one could get it in for several day's.

    So I went to a truck stop changed the the oil and headed home. I changed the oil 3-4 times before I got home, but I did get home with no damage.

    Yea see it's not noticeable in oil it looks normal lol. I think what annoys me the most is I've had nothing but problems with the truck.

    OK, can you take a non-qualified California truck to California with Mercer? For a trip or two.

    I hate that stuff. I used it in a 280z once about twenty years ago and it plugged up the radiator and heater core. ever since then, I've refused to put it in anything I plan on keeping.

    I don't think so. I could be wrong.
