Thanks, Ill check that tomorrow. I just found another problem....pretty decent oil leak from somewhere near the bottom of the engine. Went out to look at truck and found a good size oil spot under it. Looked below truck and found oil sprayed all over crossover pipe and dripping off the big...
Hey all,
I have a problem that just started on the way home today. I use my truck pulling a landscaping trailer and i was pulling it today. For some reason it started going real flat at about 23-2400 rpm. It takes fuel great to that point and was fine this morning. After 22300-2400 it...
Thanks all I'll check it out. Hoping it's an easy fix. I've found a number of posts regarding the fuel lines around the fuel filter and hoses nearby so hopefully this won't be a big deal. I just hadn't seen anything about a drain from the valley so I wasn't sure.
Hey guys,
I have a fuel leak I noticed the other day on my truck. It looks like it is coming from some kind of tube out the side of the engine or transmission case? I think it is just above the shift linkage. I think it may have been leaking for a long time but I thought it was oil as...
Well I think I found it. I replaced the headlight switch (bosch..lifetime warranty) and unhooked a tail light that was acting up. It's currently operating on a 15 amp fuse (only thing I had handy) so I reckon that got it. Got the new tail light ready to put on and a 20 amp fuse (correct size)...
Hello,
I am having a problem with the 20 amp fuse in dash that controls dash lights and taillights. As soon as I install a new one and turn on the headlights...pow... it pops. I had just started having problems with the truck cranking slowly sometimes (other times is cranks fine...?????)...
Well I went ahead and made and installed a manual wastegate controller...apparently I didnt have the wastegate completely shut when I tested it by tying it shut because I have boost now...woo hoo!
Only problem...lost the stupid clip that holds the rod in the wastegate lever lol (got in a...
Just what I was looking for thanks!
The only problem is...I'm not getting over 5psi boost...even with the wastegate wired shut...so now I have to figure out what is broke.

I have been waiting on the gauge and boost bolt to be delivered so I can monitor boost before I mess with it for that very reason. Read about how easy it is to overboost in threads on this forum and the possible results.
The whole open/closed thing just shows how much I don't know about...
I have read the sticky on installing a 10k pot...it even has a wiring diagram (like electronic diagram) that I don't really understand. Is there some directions somewhere that are a little dumbed down for a guy that doesn't read electronic diagrams? For example hook this color wire to this...
Thanks all I appreciate it! I was planning on doing the pump delete later on for sure.
Ya it was probably me lol. I got the gauge yesterday and am hoping the bolt might be here today. I'm really wanting to see what it is doing.
I can hear the turbo spool up when it's working and I hear...
Hello,
I am new to the forum and have already got alot of good info just from browsing the tech. library and other posts.
I found the thread for building a DIY Turbomaster and have a question that I can't find the answer too:
Once I install the manual wastegate controller what do I do...
