Sirs,
We took the dust cover off, its not the flex plate, its the TC bolts, they were loose, though only barely, so they were only hitting the dust over, not the back of the block or anything

It is three bolts though on the fly...
That's what im going to do after work
Went on YouTube looking for how a broken flywheel sounds like, loose torque converter bolt, etc.
Sounds alot like that right there
If is a cracked flywheel....oh boy, I am ****ed
Something odd is happening.
Drove well, but Something is very off, audibly that is

I have no idea what that sound is, sounds like someone slapping sheet metal together
Drove well (literally made it on base just now) shifts good too, fuel economy...
Updates:
Filled up when it was at E, pretty sure i got it as close to empty as I can withoutit shutting on me, since when filled it up, I could hear it fighting air in the lines (never again, but, I wanted to see what my mileage was)
Starting odometer at SD: 28608
Odometer when refueling in CO...
At the end of the day, we all drive bricks
Its quite literally that. Bricks
The fact that we get the mileage we do is a damn miracle in itself, 454 bro gets 10 to the gallon, if not less
I currently have the following:
33 inch tires
3.73 gears
4L60E (overdrive)
Stanadyne lubricant per fill up
4x4 abilities
Don't see how mileage could be suffering under those conditions, if anything, my gear ratio and tire size plus the overdrive should help it (not including the turbo)
Fast idle does work, i just wanted to see how it starts without assistance, it did indeed clear up nicely, which I was glad about. It was 55-60°F in the morning
Woke up amd found new leak points

Don't know what to think, i just hope its safe to drive still, its only ever peaked from the rear main seal, this is entirely new
Calling it a night, arrived at FE Warren AFB (300 miles from my base) currently half full
Odometer reading: 28894
What do yall think of the fuel economy so far? Assuming the fuel tank capacity is 31 gallons.
