02 head gaskets and injectors low power

02 head gaskets and injectors low power
We bought this 02 1 ton new and she blew the gaskets at about 60k last year. So we put new grade c gaskets with arp studs. Cleaned all cups and put a new set of injectors ( from fuel injection shop that we use for work). Put everything back together and it runs like a sowing machine... -
Stuck vanes go bigger or no?
And is it possible to just bust the exhaust housing loose, pull the compressor housing and center section out of the truck? Leaving the exhaust housing mounted to the truck? I've had a ton of 6.0 stroke turbos apart. But they are slight easier to get off.- mamu

Stuck vanes go bigger or no?
I think it had the p2653 or something like that. But I put a different sensor in it an now it only shows the p003a. I used Efi to try to command it. It shows 40% all the time an will only go to 44%. Doesn't change sound or anything. Elevated idle sounds like a cummins with that deep roar idled...- mamu

Stuck vanes go bigger or no?
I want this rig to run pretty good. But I don't wana throw that much into it and put a whole new turbo just yet. Only had it 2 weeks so it's still up in the air about its length of ownership. I'd like to keep it a while. But I'd like to not be makin payments and have the truck tore apart at the...- mamu

Stuck vanes go bigger or no?
That's the thing I'm not sure about. I've got a 3/4 ton truck that I think I'm Guna turn into puller/racer to play with. So this dually will be for tow and some street usage. It won't really get anything else until it needs it (trans, studs, hg replaced) I plan to put a lift pump on it but I...- mamu

Stuck vanes go bigger or no?
I just bought a lbz with 254k miles on it. I started a thread about the p003a code and had a little help. But I feel that my vanes are stuck. Everyone I talk to seems to think so too. So I'm going to pull my turbo and clean it up. I wanted to but a batmo in it. Then I started reading about them...- mamu

low rail pressure
Is the "blowoff" the same thing as what is called a frpr? Driver side rail at the back? I would have thought that would be the first thing to change/check. -
The dreaded p003a
I ran it pretty hard this weekend. Seems like it's starting the "scream" at like 2400 instead of 2800. Has anyone successfully grabbed ahold of the vanes and broke them free without having to remove turbo? If I pull it off it will get a down pipe an a batmo, but I'd really like to not pull it if... -
The dreaded p003a
Well I have a few other rigs to drive if needed. But I been runnin her pretty hard since I put this 5" exhaust and a ppe on it. -
The dreaded p003a
I just bought a lbz with 254k miles on it. Drove it home an it seemed to run pretty good. I had a snapon scanner present when I bought it so I knew the code was a p003a. It would clear and stay off till I shut it down and started it back up or pushed the truck real hard. Got home, put a sensor... -
LMM: What's it worth?
It would clean up on the outside. Take some time but I think it would look good. Needs the tailgate. Looks like they ran the nose of a gooseneck into it when hooking up. The inside.......if you washed it out the floor would be mud. It's just pretty dirty. But I don't think it's damaged that bad.- mamu

LMM: What's it worth?
I've got a customer that has a 08 lmm cc/lb drw. "Western hauler" edition it's white with loaded tan interior. No nav or sun roof I think. Roughly 150k ish mileage. Inside is pretty rough as far as dirty an the outside is just nasty but not beat up too bad. Needs a tail gate and I think that's...- mamu

Batmo wheel
My turbo spools much quicker than before. And it seems like it flows quite a bit more air. Defiantly a seat of the pants difference.- mamu
