This guy had an oil leak at the turbo on his week old 08. They pulled the cab to replace the fitting.

They are just sitting by the trans, they are mounted on top of the engine normally. I meta contractor at the bank this morning with a new 08. He said he had 2 7.3's and two 6.0's. He said this is the best one it is just a fuel hog. He said he gets about ten mpg's. I will talk with my Ford buddy if they will give me one cheap enough I will consider trading my 6 leaker in:icon_eek:. I am looking at heads and transmission costing me 4-5 grand out of pocket to repair. 74K miles, If I can get in a new crew cab for 12K out of pocket it would be worth it to me. That would be getting 26K for my truck and a new one for 37-38K. Right now they are offering 4000 in rebates plus I get D plan pricing another 7-8 grand off sticker.
