Thanks for hanging in with me while I got the time to work on this. I pulled off the air hose and got a better look. The end of the hose was cleaner than I thought. I can feel no perceptable play in the endshaft. The vanes do look like they have gotten somewhat dusted. What do you guys think? Time for a WW after the 6637?

Edit: I forgot, the new pics are in the gallery...

my god is that wicked wheel cool. both my mom and dad said it sounds like a jet taking off. and i fully agree. that is how i describe it. it is a very audible whine in the cab at 22 psi

i was towing my dad's trailer today as an excuse to see what it would do. it is awesome, i was going up a steep hill at 55 mph and half pedal that the 6.0 would usually slow to below 50 mph. dad was jokingly saying "is that all this can do?" so i matted it and shut him up REEEALLL quick

Should I plug the red line while I am at it?

yep.........

just pull it off the elbow and leave it. no need to plug it at the end. it will not suck air into it.

While you're also at it, do the CCV mod. Do a quick search. It's real easy and will keep the oil away from the turbo and boots. With mine, I turned the doghouse around.
