That's what I was thinkin! 'What the hell do they do to these frickin Cheby's!!'

 

Hey D8chumley i see were from the same part of town (SE PA), im in chester county.....Was just wondering what dealership you use/used for maintenance/problems.....im still looking for a good one in the area.

sorry to high jack the thread, but all i have to say is if someone actually did that, well lets just say oxygen is a precious resource being wasted on them lol.

 

I'm looking for one also, as I bought my truck @ 7 months ago with 127k on her. And I got it off ebay from the great state of Texas So far there hasn't been any problems that I needed a dealer or diesel shop for but if you find one let me know. I know there's a place called Devault Diesel Repair around Rt 29 and well its actually on Phoenixville Pike, don't know if you're familiar w/ the area. One of these days I might have to pop in there and check the place out. So far I've done any maintenance needed on it myself, I like to tinker

 

Well...first of all, to clear the CEL, you'll need to pull all of the fuses and use a pressure washer (at least 200 psi) to clean the connections. Reinstall all the fuses while the moisture is still present. DO NOT LET THE FUSE BOX DRY OUT! The water droplets will aid in conducting electricity to turn over the motor faster than when dry.

Then, to clear out the sandblasting material, you'll need an air compressor with a hose or adapter a little bigger than your exhaust. Connect the air compressor to your exhaust. You'll need at least 444 psi constant. Start your engine, (you installed the fuses when the fuse box was wet, right?) and put the tranny in "Reverse". Now, crank open the air compressor outlet.

That should clear the material AND perform a reverse-flow port and polish on the valve faces.

Feel free to send Rep Points...I know how valuable this information / procedure is to everyone. I'm sure someone will need this in the future as well, so make sure you bookmark it for easier retrieval.

Fetzler valve modification is not necessary with this procedure, but since you have the air compressor hooked up, you might as well do it now.

 

LMAO, that's almost as good as the op. We all need to try this. Who's first, I wanna watch.

 

But that would get your interior wet though. It'd take too long to dry. I'm gonna do the porting on Saturday. I will send pics!

 

i de crben my engine and turbo refularly with handsful of sand into the intake, with the filter element removed. but i use synthetic oil,,i open the throttle wide open nd feed da sand. no crap in my engine. i to like a clean engine.

I read it over there too. The original poster did a couple replies and acted dumb. Funny stuff.
