I will say that the truck doesn't stumble at all and has no loss of power. Sometimes I think the smoke looks like light blue and others I'm just not sure. I will run a power balance check with AE and see what if anything that tells me. I'll keep you guys posted and sure appreciate all the help.

 

Cheezit, I haven't been on the forum in a while and just noticed the word "former" in your signature. I wanted to congratulate you and wish you the best of luck in your retirement. Your presence and insight on this forum have been a tremendous help to me and countless others and I wanted to personally thank you for your time.

 

thank you,
not retired, just moved on to what i hope to be a better and more stable invironment.

 

Well best of luck just the same.


Power balance test showed no issues there. Little to no deviation.. Do you recommend I check the turbo seal next? If so, where exactly is it located.

 

Just undo the Downpipe at back of turbo and look for an Oil Swirl

 

Thanks Benny. What a PITA. I'm gathering if there is oil swirled around in there that the turbo oil seal is bad? Where is that and how hard is it to change?

 

Basicaly a Turbo rebuild if you see a oil swril headed out the exhaust pipe

Look in tech folder turbo rebuild by Benchwrench

 

So I determined the oil seal was bad. I can't afford for the truck to be down so I ordered a rebuilt turbo and swapped them out today. Now the truck won't run right. Low power, turbo is farting on accelleration and deceleration and EGT's seem higher. I went over everything twice and ensured I reconnected everything. IDEAS?

 

Bad rebuilt turbo?

 

Could be but That would really suck. I ordered this one from a shop in Ohio. I need the truck and can't have it be down. May have to put the old one back in till I can get a replacement.

 

Have you checked the Map sensor didnt get unplugged???

Did you reuse the VGT silinoid????

Can you feel any Exhaust leak at the Ypipe I usually feel around the joints when trucks cold at Idel

Post these at KOEO--Low Idel--High Idel(2500rppm)
BARO
MAP
EBP

 

I will check the Map sensor and req readings in the morning. Yes, I did reuse the VGT solenoid. The rebuilt turbo didn't come with one and the old turbo was running great aside from the oil leak.

 

Right so the VGT siliniod is Good was where I was Going

sounds like its OverBoosting Becareful

The last place I heard that did a Bad turbo refurbish job was out of Texas so not the same place

Hope just the Map or EBP sensor wire came Loose and just needs plugged in

 

Me to. Will check in the morning. I did check for codes and didn't have any.

 

Dont you have AE Jerry???

I could be wrong but I think AE will Control VGT to do turbo specific tests
