Drive the piss out of it. That's how you keep it alive and healthy. Stop and go life isn't for it. Long highway commutes, Towing, hills, getting hot will keep it healthy. Knock on wood 195k I've put a vacuum pump and had the tone wheel failure which was recall reimbursement eventually.
The oil pressure displayed on your evic is just load and temp calculated. There's not an honest reading or sensor. I've not heard of a pan leaking but I'd check torque myself if there's a loose spot on what's likely a permadry gasket before committing to a reseal.
Yeah tiny little ones but she's noisy in the cab under power. Fine at speed but acceleration is a bit much for cab volume. Kinda echos in my Topper maybe?
Well I let the intrusive thoughts get the better of me yesterday!
It's a little loud in the cab I might look for a small resonator to find a happy medium.
That's reasonable miles for a water pump. Not uncommon of any vehicle. Yes the OE pump is 700, obviously you found the aftermarket 100 one. The valve, a thermostat and 5 hours of labor. Welcome to vehicle ownership. I don't find your fault to be fca in this case.
Well I've done the back 2, (firewall side) and thought another towards front burned out but it was #3 again. Learned with the second do it while engine is hot they pop right out. About 7 minute Repair no big deal.
Any more experience with these? I'm about to tick 184 and I'm finally getting some grief out of the ol girl. Few weeks back Hauling the Boat to the Lake went to pass and it threw the overboost and limped, last night went to drag a tree out of some flood ground and heavy boost really pissed er...
How many miles on your Truck? 95-115 is the general failure point. Dealer here I want to say pulls the starter and sneaks an endoscope in to view the tone wheel
I know first hand with my push to start that there's "cycle times" so to speak. From my tone wheel failure days it'll crank for way longer than you'd want it to. Also probably what's going on here
Yeah there's a gravel pit north of Bemus up that gravel kinda on the state Forest perimeter; I haven't been there in ages so unknown current condition.
You have to really know the tone you're listening for to hear it. Good way to test lift pump is to purge water from the fuel filter. Per the instructions you open the drain valve on cartridge housing then cycle ignition where it creates pressure and pushes out any water and some fuel from the...
I did as well with some rubber hose to pop onto the hiem joints. later got alpha obd and you can just program your own height values and do it without the hardware.
Of course the latter was found after the cold climate got the better of the air system
Cool that you did it; but it's a recalled and warrantied repair. You may be able to submit for reimbursement on the parts but because you did it yourself you're limited.
It's unfortunate that it's a trans split job for tone wheel/crank position sensor but every Truck out there will be...
