jaysonfordtech Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 So here we go guys. One of my techs had a 6.4 with 5000 miles come in today for an oil leak concern. The bedplate ridge is wet on both sides all the way from the ft cover to the trans. The tech added dye and is praying that it is something other than a bedplate seal or a bedplate that was final machined with a cheese grader. Anyone else seen anything?

jaysonfordtech Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Well guys it ended up being a bed plate concern. I had the tech call hotline to check what they wanted to do. The next day he got a call from NAV. They said they have not heard about bed plate leaks, only ft and rear cover leaks. They had him apply air pressure to the crankcase after brake cleaning the block off. We verified that it is indeed leaking at the bed plate. He gets to be the first in our shop to play with this beast. He already had the front 2 cab nuts spin, and even with a wrench on them he can not get them out. I think he is going to have to remove the coolers to get to the nuts with heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
