Thread: Turbo drain weld in fitting...

  1. #1

    Turbo drain weld in fitting...

    Ok i have my oil pan off and the 10AN weld-in fitting in my hand.. the guy is ready to weld it in.. but i don't know where to put it so it will clear everything and be easy to access... The engine IS NOT in the truck, its on the stand. Does anyone have any suggestions? Criticisms? Its all AN10 fittings and braided line.
    I would like to drop the drain line down the front of the engine and into the front or side of the pan.. but i don't have it together to look at to figure out a good spot!
    2005 ECSB 4x4 with 6.0 and all accessories. Front mount turbo on pass side...

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    front of the pan would do fine. Jon used the timing cover when he welded mine. Just make sure it is veryyy clean and not oily at all

I hate to sound stupid but my engine isn't together... so i don't have a reference to go on.. he is just standing here waiting on me to tell him where to drill and weld.. I've been searching through pics of turbo setups on these trucks and i can't find ANYTHING thats being any help.

    I have mine on the front of the oil pan, just to the right of the crank pulley.
    The timing cover location is stupid!

    cause the hot oil will get on the crank sprocket, overheat it, and eventually lead to cracking, or the timing chain will break due to the extra weight on the chain.
