Good to know about the rebuild kit. Hopefully, it will be a while, but I'll see if I can't get one and be ready for the soon to be breakage. Thanks to all for the help in getting this problem fixed.

Update: Removed the att. Leak was coming from the after-market return line connection. However, the weird noise was coming from the turbo. So... something is going on there. It is on a shelf in a box. Made the diy turbomaster , and got it dialed to around 6-8 psi. I like it. I like it...

Got it. That's what I needed to know.... Thanks.

As I already stated, I have a boost gauge installed, and I understand the purpose of the turbo master. My question is... to avoid any destruction, the spring must be set to give me the desired psi. I would like it to be 11psi when the flap opens. Now, again, in order to avoid over-boosting...

Okay. I built the turbo master. Everything is installed. How do you set the spring to give you the desire boost? Is it by length? So, 2" of spring showing after tightening will give you, say, 11 psi.... Or, is there another method? I do have a boost gauge installed.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm gonna put the old turbo on with the modified waste-gate. The leak on the att is coming from the back of the front part of the turbo, near the return line. I don't know if that thing is rebuildable, so I'm going to run the other one, and see what happens. That att...

That's not what I wanted to hear. Would have preferred to ax the turbo. Sick of overpriced and failing parts, with the added mystery of what is wrong. Oh, well. How about this... I've still got the factory turbo. But, it has a wastegate. The att does not and the PCM is tuned for the att...

Here's an idea. Has anyone made a 6.5 turbodiesel into a 6.5 diesel? Let's say you fabricate all the pipping as needed, so as to copy roughly what it is like with the turbo fitted, but without the turbo.... Would that work? How many codes would that pop? For me, one less component to mess...

I've got an att. Oil is leaking from under it, near the area of the return line. I don't think the oil is dripping from the return connection. Also, I'm not certain, but I think there is a clunking sound, like a bearing possibly going out, but I can't really isolate it with all the background...

Got drive shaft back. Installed it. Drove it. Seems like everything is good to go... Started out thinking it was a broken transmission, and turns out it was a broken e-brake. Leasons learned: broken trans won't lock up the rear end, and when dealing with multiple shafted drive lines, make...

O.K. It is a 22 year old vehicle. Looked like factory u-joints (why I replaced them). Probably needs a balancing of the drive shaft as well. I'll do it... Thanks for the advise.

O.K. I did a little self education. Correct me if I'm wrong. This driveshaft is in two parts held in the middle by a carrier bearing that is bolted to the upper frame. Rear of the carrier bearing, the shaft is solid. Forward of the carrier bearing, the the shaft can be separated. I never...

Question: I already removed the driveshaft and replaced the u-joints before reading further replies... Will L. I did not know to make any mark for timing. I've replace u- joints on my scout several times without any timing marks, and I, regretfully, assumed the same thing for this vehicle...

Tore it down today. E-brake shoe came unglued, and locked up everything. What if this had happened at speed? I think the design is quite flawed. I'm not planning on repairing this. I'm planning on gutting it, and putting the casing back on with no innards. Is there any problem with doing...

AK: In gear, brakes applied, driveshaft stops... War wagon: dropped driveshaft, yoke turns easily by hand. Opened up differential, gears look great... Have an idea. This truck has an emergency brake located on the rear yoke of the transmission. It is shaped like a drum brake. After I ran...

Results: No codes popped. Transmission fluid is good. Differential fluid is good. Chalked front end, lifted rear end. Started engine and cycled through all gears (did not accelerate)...no lock up...wheels and driveshaft turned through all gears. Put transmission in neutral and turned both wheels...

Trans. Fluid good. Rear diff. Fluid good. Rear end spins. Not familiar with the symptoms of a failing or broken automatic transmission. Before removing the transmission, is there something else that would create this situation? For instance, something with the shift lever? Does it need or...

No four wheel drive. No transfer case.

I have a'99 Chevy 6.5 turbodiesel. It has a 4L80E transmission. Started truck, slipped into drive gear, released foot from brake petal, started to roll forward, and then the back end locked up and the truck skidded to a stop. Transmission will shifted through all gears with no problem, just...
