back to the stealership

[ctsrt10]

Wtf i take the truck out this morning after just getting it back for some repairs on the tranny and clutch (sorry blane i wanted your clutch but the dealer would of voided the warr)and i smell oil burning again look under the truck and i see oil once again but not from the tranny now its the powersteering lines goin into the rack. does anyone know if this is one of the lines on back order i just cant win. turbo and all the stuff has to come off once more. also does anyone elses oil temp gauge stick to the point you have to tap it to get a reading.

Which line uppper or lower. I'll have my parts dept check

 

[ctsrt10]

its the the line thats goes into the left side of the rack where the steering stabilizer is, the stablizer is covered in oil, also are the any oil cooler lines that run on the drivers side of the truck cause the that side seems to have oil on it near front of the manifold,just under the fill cap and i know its not the cover leaking i looked

This sucks ...... So it wasn't motor oil? It was power steering fluid?

Hope they cover under warr. for you. Keep me filled in on how your doin. Makes me want to go out to the truck pull the cover off and give it the once over. Looking forward to spring and getting together again. Had a couple good GTG's last year. Like to shoot for more this year.

Best-a-Luck Jim

Well its on the bed to the dealer thank god they sent someone i knew to tow the truck so i got a little weight off my shoulders now the fun part how long is my truck goin to be down for three leakes oil temp gauge. they better not give me any shit about a rental again and how long i have it for, and the best part the truck has very little gas in it 7 miles till its empty

I checked my cap also then changed the valve cover gaskets, and it ended up being the cap after all go to the dealer and replace the black o-ring on the cap with a green one and that fixed the leak, just some advise same thing happened to mine.

Sorry for the delayed response, but I checked and all the lines for the power steering are not on back order, hope the dealer doesn't take to long..

 

[ctsrt10]
