If you really want to do this wildly, which maybe you do, then remove the oil pan and just take out the one rod and piston that is broke via the top of the engine. Super lame way but never have to pull the engine that way :)
I am now getting a CEL for the P2563 code. P003A is just intermittent I believe. Haven't tested anything to see what has maybe changed and caused it to throw a CEL but this has sort of expedited my turbo cleaning.
Still think it is the solenoid going out. Truck has zero drivability issues and...
Drop it out the bottom hehehe
But really if I was to do this then I would take the wheels off and lower it back down with the jack until you get it to where you want.
I fell asleep for a few weeks.
Got a set of new smoked cab lights to throw on, trying to figure out best way to silicone seal them up so they don't leak. The gaskets they gave me suck major so I am going to use the original gaskets.
When I was in 8th grade I had appendicitis and surgery for it. Went 3 days without getting treatment and just about kicked the bucket. 2 weeks in the hospital and 30 lbs or so of weight loss later I did survive lol
Yeah not fun!
It was bad gas actually. I did say right from the beginning in my thread on that too. Should have gone with my gut fml. Oh well hindsight is 20/20
See that is what I was thinking as well. I thought new vanes and unison ring but according to John they do not corrode, can’t remember the type of...
Thanks for the input guys I appreciate it.
@Lparrill I'm with you on the tuning side. I don't want to do anything drastic that will require any more tuning than I already plan on getting. Is this the rebuild kit that you are talking about? It is a quarter of the price of the RockAuto one...
@Bdsankey I don't have any concerns with it at all right now but I just wanted to inquire. Pulling it out is a job in and of itself so I figured while it is out I would freshen it up. I do not want to buy a new turbo, this one works and I would rather not waste it.
@PureHybrid All of this is...
Ah you might be right. Sort of seem to remember that, will have to watch them back at some point
I think space isn't too much of an issue on that truck lol
He did have to lower the weight of it since it was so heavy though, that was kind of funny.
@Chevy1925 He stated in an early video that they do have 2 TCMs. Almost positive of this.
I couldn't understand why he didn't do exactly what you are saying though, have one control the front and another control the rear. That seems more logical but then again the whole truck isn't logical lol
I spoke with John Kennedy and he suggested just pulling it apart and cleaning the unison ring and the vanes and the housing, servicing the turbo is not worth it. I was also under the impression that the unison ring was able to corrode and was part of the big issue with the turbo vanes sticking...
No bullshit ever since he got shot in the head his whole persona changed. After he flew down to Cali and started buying the R8 and what not he turned full retard. Divorced his wife and all sorts of dumb stuff. Kinda sucks cause I thought he was great for a while but now he puts on this "I'm too...
I disagree with this one slightly. The guy that makes diesel guys look bad in Westin with the cummins mustang. Thing just billows smoke, literally named it the smokestang. At least this is supposed to obviously be just a monster truck off roader. If it was driven on the road or something sure...
