    Why does everyones deuce leak air pressure?

    Yup the internet. I just did a quick search. Alot of the aftermarket turbos are water cooled for them, i just assumed the factory ones were too. I didnt put alot of effort into it. I am 100% positive my Duramax is. I had that entire top end apart when i replaced the head gaskets and i replaced...

    Why does everyones deuce leak air pressure?

    Powerstrokes, duramaxs and later cummins as well as the DT466 are all coolant cooled as far as i know. The sterling and international ive driven the past couple years never leak at all, the 89 F800 i used to drive a long time ago would leak out over night but only 20 psi or so. ive never had a...

    Why does everyones deuce leak air pressure?

    Yeah some trucks have 4 20 gallon tanks or larger if running a pressurized tanker, and trailers usually have dual 20s i believe. My 2006 international straight truck has 2 20s and can sit for a week and not lose any air. I would say the deuce has dual 10 gallons or so, i could be wrong though. i...

    Why does everyones deuce leak air pressure?

    i would absolutely agree with the idling for a few minutes before shutting down as these are only oil cooled turbos and can littleraly bake the oil in them if not properly cooled. Ive ran many turbo timers on oil cooled turbo cars ive had, its very important. most deisel turbos are coolant...

    Why does everyones deuce leak air pressure?

    Haha yeah i know the compressor does make it up but its just more moisture in the lines, wear on parts. I dunno i deal with chemical injection points of the worst chemicals in existence. It's my job to make things NOT leak so there is absoultely no reason i cant stop this from leaking. If it was...

    Why does everyones deuce leak air pressure?

    Well it would have to go in the compressor and would never make it down the lines. compressors and anything liquid are very bad. I would never imagine that was a serious sugestion. It would also stick every needle valve in the system.

    Why does everyones deuce leak air pressure?

    Haha air leaks to me are a serious problem, for DOT pre trip if your tanks leak more than 3 psi while standing on brakes for 1 minute with truck off it fails. i guess if its normal the it is what it is. Yeah stop leak sounds like a good idea. I was able to port and polish my intake, and turbo...

    Why does everyones deuce leak air pressure?

    Ive watched many videos of cold start ups etc, and everyone has an air buzzer going off including my own when i start it up, its down to 30psi or so by morning. My question is WHY?! I know air leaks, its an old truck but where are these slight leaks commonly at? Is it from the air pack? The...
