this is what rotella 15/40 looks like after 550 miles...

here is a pic of the issue, i rotated the fan to show where it was touching the hose. its clear where it was.

what he said, reds are rear and amber everywhere else

yup testing steps sound good, crack lines and see which doesnt change, it will be noticeable. once the cylinder is identified, swap crossover tube with known good one and move forward. if still bad, check valve lash on that cylinder, if still bad compression check it. if that fails, the head needs to come off and valves and seats and head inspected for damage/cracks. if a piston has bad rings you can drop the pan, take oil tube off then loosen the pistons conrod end and push piston out, do a quick ball home on the cylinder if not damaged and replace rings, reinsert piston (make sure bearings arent disturbed) put new conrod bolts in and retorque, new headgasket studs and torque em down. if the head comes off, its a two man job or a hoist to remove replace the head without damaging the gasket. while its off have the head checked for flatness. hope its a simple fix boss!

the shop that installed a pwr steering filter let the return hose sit loose too close to the fan, fan wore a hole in said hose so i spliced a good piece in till a new return line is installed, also rerouted splice away from fan and nothing is near it . Sara is a great gal and was under the truck with me learning. she will be good till the hose is replaced

fixed.

im responding as i type

look at my post above with pic. the casting is different partially covering the hole

if you look you can see they cast a step over the hole for the dowel

i looked for the kdp on mine during rebuild and the hole for the pin had a step down cast into the gear housing to where the pin cannot come out. but as stated, you wont know till you look at the housing

MAP sensor is on left of pic AIT sensor is on right of pic

350 miles so far and all is well. slowly building power here and there. still on stock setting though.

if anyone has questions about the details of the build, tricks and tips ask away in this thread

Here ya go folks. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1636229086603819&id=100006502305486&set=a.1475918309301565.1073741830.100006502305486&refid=13

no codes at all, was checking frequently

i think there was something sticking in the vp as there was plenty of fuel spitting when i cracked the line. almost like too much fuel for too long... but yes im glad its gone, ive had the system dry many times and it boggled me too, never happened before

here it is after the knock cleared on its own http://youtu.be/_ug5hBArzx8

knock before it cleared http://youtu.be/JvnTSoWcJ8A

ty all for the assistance

Well i went with my brothers suggestion and drove it and get it hot, the issue cleared itself and the white smoke that was happening went away as soon as #6 cleared and the knock disappeared

edit

ok new injector came in and buttoned everything up and started. #6 still knocks like it individually advanced or something, i cracked the line and it goes away. i have a little white smoke but also ive yet to do break in. the only thing left is the vp44 is possibly messed up, im at a loss now... any ideas will be appreciated.

no need to remove anything, with the xfer case in neutral all that spins is the output shaft and rear driveline.

i got this handled, disregard.
