Installed April 2022, truck is deleted, used for commuting and towing, noticed lack of power about a year ago, with occasional SET lighting bolt. pulled and replaced turbo, same thing. Ended up doing a boost leak test and found this.
After the 2 year warranty is up they just try to sell you new stuff after their stuff fails just FYI. I could understand the silicone boot failing and not being covered but you’d think they could stand behind their ALUMINUM PIPE.
Ah, a Virginian! Lol I wouldn’t say bearings since it comes and goes away. I’ve always accounted mine to traditional diesel knocking. Mine gets a nasty sounding knock when it’s not quite boosted and under a heavy pull. Almost like you’re lugging the engine. My 6.7 does it also. Is yours deleted?
My AFE aftermarket one crapped out and it’s a painstaking process to try to talk to them. I’d settle for oem to get me by if anyone’s got a parts truck.
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.
