    BRAKE BOOST BLOWBY TEST

    Oh man the dieselfather Cerb himself!! The forum go to man!! I was told that brake boosting like that was an unreliable boowby test in relation to the cap moving under boosted load since the motor uses pressure to move oil up into the valvetrain crank case is that correct? So in reality...

    Significant oil leak, 2005 Cummins breather tube

    No sir it is not smoke so much as a haze. When i first start up cold truck in morning it has a lil bit of white smoke as it should at 220k, but thats it. After warm if you look under truck the breather will haze a bit but def not smoking. I have at multiple points tested the blowby at oil cap...

    Significant oil leak, 2005 Cummins breather tube

    Cerb, yes by my looking so far it appears the leak up near the front is behind and above the power steerig pump. Yes sir I know the CR has neither those pieces. but none of the oil present is fresh oil nor is the oil pan coated. The majority of my leak is indefinitely coming from ccv breather...

    Significant oil leak, 2005 Cummins breather tube

    Yes sir that could def be the tappet cover being loose...im not really concerned as much with that. I am concerned with the exponential leak through the breather tube. I do not believe the slow leak through the tappet cover would cause that

    48RE shifting problems "start in 2nd"?

    Curious how much harder on second gear (band) is it?

    48RE shifting problems "start in 2nd"?

    Oh wow ok. all that considered what are the dangers/damage associated with that little start in second? I assume its super hard on first gear? What about the rest of the gears? Is it ok to manual shift through first and then drop into normal drive for now?
