sounds like your life flashed before your eyes. was thinking you might have broke down and when to the dealership. Ha Ha. 2013?

 

I always need alot of help Todd. You guys could have swung wide west and picked up Pete and then deeper south for Jose, then angled up north to AZ. LOL Six would have been a better party.

OK, the real skinny, if every thing is OK (no bent rods, etc.) did all that water do some kind of damage? A little wear and tear here and there, something??

I couldn't have said it better myself Gabe!

 

Wait... Isn't that the opposite of irony?

 

I dont know.i just had a baby! Haha

 

As long as you didn't bend any rods, I think you are ok. Your injectors are going go Jim anyway, so he can investigate them. Good thing about this being water from your injection system instead of water from the radiator, is no antifreeze was in it. That stuff is VERY hard on bearings.

Glenn, are you keeping the water injection now? I think if I were in your shoes, I'd be a little hesitant about it. If I were you, I'd try the new turbo without it, and see how the egt's are. Maybe you know what happened exactly and its not gonna happen again, but I'd be worried.

 

Glad to hear the "little truck that could" is still alive!

 

Can't wait to take it for a spin. Good to know Darin about the water, sure scared me on how much came out of there.

The water injection system stays DISCONNECTED for now. I don't know if I will ever use it again after this experience. I sure did like it and brag about it though. It will be interesting to see how the new turbo cuts down the EGT's like I hear it does.

 

Congratulations!

 

Did you go take that spin yet ?

 

Time change Mike. Santa is eating lunch

 

....cookies and milk!

 

That's what I had for breakfast lol

 

Well it's way past lunchtime. He should know better than to keep us waiting!

 

I think I would figure out what went wrong with the water injection before making any decisions.

Does your water injection run off of a progressive controller? Does the controller have a switch on the power wire to turn the controller on and off or is it on all the time?

Figure out if the pump turned on or if the nozzles just started seeping water and go from there. Leave the nozzles out of the IC pipe and hook everything back up and see what happens. Something stupid had to have happened to cause this. I looked over my water injection last night trying to thing of ways for that to happen and can't see any way it would mysteriously spray water while the truck is turned off and the switch for the controller is off.. .

The only thing I can think of as a possibility is the water tank was above the nozzles while the truck was parked and somehow the nozzles sat and leaked by. I guess since the nozzles don't have a pop off valve or anything this could happen. A good way to correct this possibility would be to add a normally closed solenoid valve though and wire that in with the switch for the controller if you have this. Turn the switch on for the controller and the valve will open allowing the water injection to function normally with boost. Switch off and the valve is closed, not allowing any water past. I might have to see if my system will do this while I'm parking on a hill or something..

 

I am guessing that this is exactly what happened. He did say that he was parked nose down. I am guessing it probably just siphoned water out of the tank. I would hink there would be a solenoid valve or at least a pressure valve or check valve to prevent this from happening.

Nah, and Glenn ditch that system. Just box it up and send it to me. I will see to it that it is properly disposed of...
