Makes sense. the last owner yanked the road drat tube off of the engine and replaced it with a freeze plug. Wish I would have known about that baffle when the engine was out of the truck.
Looks like the rear main seal is leaking a little bit. Probably going to have to pull the oil pan to fix that. when I do I'll look for more info on the baffle you described above.


Proud of my taskforce!
