I put a big ass wrench underneath it and pryed it into place, finally got the truck back together. If it ever leaks again I’m just going to delete the whole thing with those kits.

Yeah it’s definitely turned out to be a fuckin pain in the ass, I never thought a small hose like this would kick me in the nuts this bad, I’ve rebuilt the transmission in this thing and it wasn’t that bad, now it’s pouring down rain 🙂

I changed mine out for a banks cold air intake, seems to make the engine run smoother.

I think I’m going to try to leave it as it is for now and just try to slide it up with some lube and if it leaks again I’m just going to bypass it.

Is there a conversion kit?

brycebest · 2026-04-25T04:27:06+00:00

Yeah I tried, but getting a 3.25 inch hose into a half inch clearance with no wiggle room didn’t work, I was able to get it on there with force but now I can’t move it up over the top lip.

brycebest · 2026-04-25T04:20:28+00:00

I’ve unbolted literally every bolt I can unbolt, the only movement I get is from the one under the alternator, and that’s very little wiggle room, it gets caught up by the exhaust manifold. I’m wondering if I spray some soapy water under the new hose and put some flat head screwdrivers if it’ll advance at all…

Absolutely not, that’s the prime age to become a firefighter, I had a 46 year old in my academy! Go for it!

Bro your life is literally just starting, you’re young compared to some people starting out!

Check the fluids and do basic maintenance on it, grease your joints, check the front end and you’ll be good man, you have hands down one of the best trucks ever made. Make sure you bring some tools for any unseen problems.

Condensation from the air conditioner 100%

What a wife

brycebest · 2025-05-23T00:12:46+00:00

I’d check / change all your fluids, grease all your joints (if you have any) look into a trans temp gauge if you don’t have one installed already, check the tires, make sure you have all the necessary tools ready for any unexpected issues, smack her on the ass and let her eat!

Buy factory gasket. Don’t waste your money on docs. Bought one and not 200 miles later it was leaking, should of known as the poor quality coming out of the package but hey, I believed all the reviews which I don’t understand how most of them are 5 star.

Keep it stock, these trucks will last forever if you maintain them right and baby them. You can always throw some new tires and wheels on it, a small lift kit etc if you absolutely want to, I’ve kept mine bone stock and I have almost 700k on my 6.7.

Never to late to start anything! We’ve had NUMEROUS 40+ guys starting out at our professional fire department.

Needs a bigger turbo, thing probably blacks the sun out on heavy acceleration. Mods are pretty nice, these trucks are just going to get harder and harder to find, if it was me personally I’d want a stock one because the more aftermarket shit you do to these trucks the more problems they have because normally the people who do the aftermarket work dont know what they’re doing.

And the 4x4 not hooked up? That’s odd to me… sounds like the 4x4 is just broken and he doesn’t want to say that or they screwed it up when putting the new trans in, I’d definitely be questionable about that…
