Emergency Engine Problems!

The Dirty Dodge Dually · May 7, 2011

So I found out the cause of my rough idle is my #5 and #6 injectors are weak, I ordered a set of 75hp injecotrs from cpp, but they may not be in for another 2 weeks :banghead:

. Also my truck is leaking oil and coolant from the oil cooler, but I don't have any oil in my coolant. I still have to drive my truck to work everday, is this safe, or can I potentionaly damage my engine before I get these problems fixed in two weeks?

You could live with the Oil in the coolant, but the big question is do you have coolant in the Oil? That is very bad for your engine!
The injectors depend how far and fast you drive I would not be doing too much highway with the weak injectors.

You can live with both, depending on severity of coolant in oil. Drive it and check your oil daily since you only have to live with it for a week. Oil cooler is a higher priority in my book.

How many weeks have these problems been present? Just keep an eye on your fluids and youll be fine.

And don't push the engine any more that minimum...

I changed my oil about 100 miles ago and there was no coolant in the oil when i first loosened the plug. I heard it could damage the crankshaft, is that correct?

Coolant can "wash" the bearings which never ends well.
