Power steering fluid
Ok so on my 99 cummins there is nothing that says what fluid should be in my p/s pump. Can't find my owners manual. So I looked on here at downloads and they don't give a fluid spec. So next thing was google. Some people are using Lucas or atf +4 or whatever. I have a bottle of plain ol valvoline p/s fluid but is that right? Thanks.

Block heater temp
I hear that I need to get mine ordered and put on. Glad you got yours working . Yeah my brother and buddy's 7.3 heats up quick and to full temp. Now my dads 6.7 cummins is the same way as mine. You'd think cummins would get on board with full heat when plugged in.

Idle switch installed, no high idle.
Sweet man

Block heater temp
So I'm pretty sure my block heater is on it's last leg. Been noticing it a lot lately. Just wondering what temp your engines heats up to before you start it. Mine the last couple days has been high of 86 scan guage said at 20 degrees out. Also does anyone know the torque for that block heater plug. Thanks

Boost leak question
Ha ok wish I would saw this before I've put everything away lol

Boost leak question
Ok sweet I just did it again. And I can kinda hear something next to the turbo. All boots are tight. I think it's just the air moving at 25 psi.
-
Boost leak question
So I did a boost leak test on my 99 cummins found a t clamp that needed to be tighted. Took the tester to 25 psi. The gauge is slowly going down like .5psi every couple second. Did the soapy water test can't find anything. Can't hear anything. Is this normal to loose psi with it pressured up or should it stay at 25psi.

53 BLOCK Problem yes or no
I reacently found out my 99 cummins has a 53 block. It has 260k miles has an edge ez I believe. Bhaf, banks intake horn. Pusher hot side tube. Other than that it's stocks. My question is do you keep it or get rid of it. The truck runs great. Looking around on the block I didn't see any cracks or signs. I mean there was some oil from my vacuum pump and before I did the blow by mod but nothing that caught my eyes. I've read that if it doesn't crack by 100k your good. I've also read that wrong cold start and pulling heavy loads cracks it out. Talked to the guy who owned it before me he said he's never pulled light with it cattle, bales all gooseneck pulls. I've put a lot of time into this truck I've come attached to it. So I'm stuck in a rut I don't know what to do I was just getting ready for a nv4500 rebuild. I'm asking you guys if this is something serious or my paranoia is getting the best of me. Thanks for the input

I crawled under my truck recently looked up and found under my oil filter there is a leak coming off a hose with two clamps. Traced it found out it goes to the turbo. I haven't taken it off so I don't know what size I need or what it is. If it is special hose or the length of the piece. I looked online found 3/4 7/8 silicon high temp you name it etc. can anyone help me out here thanks.
