New 4" MBRP exhaust...sounds great!





Is that the turbo I hear?


While I was there, I took a photo of my turbo exhaust. Looks in good shape:

 

Bought 8 gallons of Delo 5w40

What are y'all paying for a gallon of vintage DELO now?

While working on my exhaust, I noticed oil dripping down from passenger side (at intersection of engine and transmission). I checked CAC boots but they are dry. I may get my Milwaukee bore scope and look around today. Any suggestions on common leak areas?

 

$19.xx/gal at my local walmart.

 

Been chasing a noise for near two months now. First turbo, checked that and radial play was uuugge. Then the power steering pump was making noise, that went
Now the left turns seem to make noise, replaced the bearing under warranty today. Moog lasted September 2014 until now, 2.5 years. Was ground up metal in the grease in the hub. Both slide pins were froze solid and the left front was eating the inside pad. Would have failed inspection for sure.

Turns smooth, brakes great... still got the noise, it's at 1400 rpm and it's killing my wallet.

 

Lost a touch of coolant from the cap - not too worried as I added a filter last week and presume the air in it worked its way around the motor, heated up and expanded. We'll see next week when I give it another blast through the Ardennes...

 

What is the world coming to?

 

Have you tried to throw it in neutral while rolling to rule out transmission?

 

Frank n beans now I know why I can't find oil in the store , hope ya got a good deal,
I put the 6.0 to work , she don't like just sitting around looking purdy like dura max's do lol, so so I gave her a pat on the top and she hauled a few loads of Railroad ties , she didn't even bat a Turbo brow just keeped on working as usual, just another great day behind the wheel

 

Just hauling a Corvair around northern CO and southern WY. And was very happy, deltas never got higher than 12* difference at about 70 MPH she seemed to pull better with out the cat highest boost was about 25.

 

Pulled the valve cover. Man i like the m12 ratchet. Watched a few videos on the ordeal. Got to the dummy plugs. Went to autozone bought long allen bits and a 12mm torq socket. Returned and finnished dissassemble. Looked over the injectors swapped in the new ones into #1,#3 holes. Started torquing everything back. Learned the stand pipe needs to be installed first. So i pulled the oil rail. Installed the stand pipe. Got the valve cover on and lost a 12mm socket behind the motor. Finally was successful at retrieving it. Buttoned the truck up. Broke out the jumper cables and hooked up to the 6.7. Then after a few cycles to fill up the injectors with fuel i cranked amd waited. Cranked and waited. Then the truck started.... it ran smooth purred along. Dont know about this work out the air business as it was smoother then it has ever ran. Got in the truck after about 30mins of run time and took a spin. Everything was perfect. No bucking in 6th between 35-40 which it would buck at anything below 55 in 5th. I didnt get on her to much as i was cold and didnt really want to find out i didnt get the boots tight on the turbo or intercooler. Picked up dinner headed home to get pulled over for a faulty tail light. Almost got shot. Ok well not really ended up with a warning amd talked about willie being on in the radio in the truck. So overall im happy truck seems to be doing 111% better. Injectors were easier than i expected

 

Oh... yeah avg mpg before was 8.9. After my jaunt around town 15.6. This mod might actually break even

 

While testing my VGTs and cycling the veins I didn't realize I was up to 90 on a back road. The good news is the VGT saw 15 and the 6.0 kept pulling, I have never gotten her up that fast before.

 

I blacked out my front bumper, man I hate chrome!
