well the voltage reg. would be the easiest to replace and the cheapest place to start, I can not remember what lead to short to ground to bypass the reg. and make the alt. charge , hopefully someone will know and chime in or do a goggle search to find out, I assume your reg. in mounted on the fuse panel?
I think you need to pull the top cover off the trans and take a look , I think I have read of problems with the shifting forks or maybe the fork pins shearing partially. also check the pins on any outside lever that goes to a shaft that is pinned. I had trouble with a pto lever like that.
I guess they were afraid of scratching the paint by pushing some load with it, what else could it be, besides hea it is not my job to do that!
yeah I am kinda old school I try to just use grease when I can to hold gaskets in place , that away nothing gets plugged up or flows around in whatever fluid. I will be away for a week but will check on results when I get back, good luck
you say you replaced the filter head , do you think that the gasket was directional , could you have blocked off a port? or maybe to much silicone plugged something up if you used some on the mating surfaces? It has been to many years since I had one off to remember what they are like.
diesel engines are tuff but only to a point, my foton only had a idiot lite for the oil pressure and battery voltage so I put a gauges in the dash for voltage and oil pressure. The oil pressure gauge that reads in p.s.i. I ran copper tubing to it , most likely a mechanical gauge will never lie.
I would place in a tee and a mechanical gauge on the engine and see what you have then. unless you have a mechanical gauge now but I assume it is electric factory one. Also what kind of oil did you put in it? It should be 15/40. The oil that can out when you did the oil change was there metal in it or was it just normal used oil, hope it did not look like a chocolate milk shake.
if you have voltage make sure the ground is good at the gauge (close to 0 ohms) that is the other side of the circuit.
