MY truck did almost the same thing. Turbo spun just fine but had no power and was sending out smoke signals. Finally ruled out the turbo, and sent it to a turbo shop in salt lake. When i took it to him he said gosh it spins fine are your sure nothing else is wrong? I told him that i found...
I have to stuff a blanket under the heater box on the passenger side of the dash. The heater blows warm but it's still cold on my feet. Somewhere on the passenger side there is a draft. When it gets close to 0 driving on the freeway BURRRR!!
Sometimes when the pivot ball is worn out it changes the angle of travel on the throw out bearing. The throw out bearing will rub against the transmission input shaft bearing retainer (I call it a nose cone) The throw out bearing rubs so hard that the clutch pedal gets stiff, usually other...
My 94' 3/4 4x4 nv4500 has 307000 miles on it. The original engine made it to 280000 miles when the crankshaft broke. At around 230000 miles the water pump started to leak and I thought about doing the timing chain at the same time. Well 50000 miles later the crank bolt loosened and caused the...
Oh no there is no adjustments on my 94 Chevy 6.5 its all about timing the rpm's. Couple of years ago i crashed on my snowmobile shattered my knee cap and had a cast from my hip to my ankle, well to make a long story short I couldn't fit in my car so the only thing i could drive was the truck. I...
I know this is a way old post but on mine 6.0 when its EGR cooler blew up I ordered a delete kit from Ebay, well that was a waste of money all it had was new gaskets and freeze plugs I had to pound into the cooler. It was super easy and cheap to do. Plus it got 3 MPG better just blocking the EGR...
Every time i drive my truck, loaded or unloaded it doesn't seem to mind or care. In fact I think it shifts better without using the clutch between gears. Only time i ever use the clutch is when i take off from a stop. Not to brag but i have it dialed down to make it shift smother then an automatic
I have seen many clutch fork pivot ball studs worn out causing major clutch release headaches on NV4500's. It causes high pressure in the hydrolic system that the master cylinder to crack and spray fluid out. Hope you got your issue figured out, these can be no fun.
I worked as a drivabilty guy at a Chevy stealership for 10 years. What i found these injectors do is they bleed down when it has a hot soak. Meaning you drive it til the truck gets nice and warm, run into a store for an hour then try to start it. And it acts like its flooded. Go new bosch, its...
I had an old Ford 6.9 that had the "concrete" all over the valves when its engine gave out. And it was only a few years old. The guys at the machine shop said its from hard water deposits from water in the fuel. Even with regular filter changes it's possible to get traces of water past the filters.
