Vince, G.E.I. is delivering a truck to you tomorrow A.M. It's one of those heartache stories from another dealer I was telling you about.

Well, I had my suspicions when the degas bottle had pressure on it after sitting all night, but I did the testing anyway. Head gaskets at least. Wont know if any heads are bad until its torn down. Just waiting on a go/no go.

However, she drinks water and I drink beer. She may be man's best friend, but only I get the beer!!!!

So, the EGR and oil cooler tested OK? While you're 'in there' do you check on or replace that rubber tube that may leak coolant?

I'm just curious.

We let them know that there was no way that we could give them an accurate estimate of final cost until it was torn down. We gave them a worst case idea though. If it starts to get expensive, we'll call them.

What does OAISIS look like for this rig? Does it have a track record of being a problem child?

Oh ok, so I guess the truck is an 04 unless the engine got replaced somewhere along the line.

The oasis is pretty much normal. EGR valve, some reflashes, paint work, and the trans recall for the planetary, and snap ring.
