After a boost test, found my AFE hot side charge pipe cracked around 3” in length on the bottom by the engine mount weld. Looking like I may have gone through that pain and suffering for an AFTERMARKET “upgrade” failure. Shm pipes can’t be 5 years old.
Hey all,
hoping for some feedback. Finally got the new turbo/tone wheel in my eco. Pulled trans to do all the work (not fun). Anywho. Truck sat around 9 mo during repairs given my free time. Truck fired right up and drives ok but seems weak. Also, seems like the vanes aren’t as aggressive ie...
Supposedly it’s “lifetime” fluid. I was going to change mine at 200k miles, well at 150k but never got to it lol do you have the transmission tuned with the engine? Or an engine tune? I ask because before I tuned mine, it would do the same, like it wasn’t happy with any gear it picked at the...
The diagram that’s circulating is correct because I utilized it when doing my glowplug #3 and 4. I do stand corrected based off the diagram. Looks like center on drivers side
Pile of kits on Amazon but depending on the model, you’d have to do a radio that can relay to the actual radio in the dash, the screen is typically just a display
Unfortunately insurance is a crook no matter what level coverage you have. When the tree fell on mine, they paid 8k in repairs to fix it and the truck couldn’t have been worth more than double that. But they paid it none the less instead of total loss.
I mean if you have the space and time, parting it out makes the most sense. A lot of the second gen guys would pay for the interior and the rears/frame someone could use. Shit the computers alone you could bring at least a grand in selling them used. I paid 200 for a used tail light pre Covid...
When mine failed, the alternator locked up, and I could spin the motor backwards, but not in proper rotation. Pooped the belt off and it fired right up. Learned that after a new starter AND OEM battery. Not a cheap lesson for me lol
Unplug the glow plug relay on the passenger side of the engine bay. Can’t remember which one of mine failed but it broke off trying to remove. Found that trick out and just a fair warning, if it’s below 35 plug it in. The colder it gets the more it hates starting lol
If you have the security gateway module, you would need to bypass it for it to work, if it’s pre sgwm then it should work fine if the user had luck with it
Could be the sensor bad, can’t remember what year they did away with it… if you had one it would be front of drivers side on the head with a 5/8” rubber line coming off it and going back to your intake tube preturbo. Could have came loose from that connection or at the sensor itself. Or oiled up...
