Stroke Issues
Alright ya’ll, I’ll try to make this a short one. Coming home last night I decided to test the truck out at WOT on a back road, which I have never done to this point after all of my mods. From a dead stop without powerbraking I found two things/issues:
- Shifting from 1 to 2 is lousy at best. There is a huge hesitation then a snap into second.
- After performing these drag strip type antics, the truck now runs at about 75% which concerns me. I didn’t hear a pop or any strange sound that would lead me to believe anything is catastrophic.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
fficeffice" /><o
></o>One more little wrench in things, could an electrical issue be causing any of these symptoms?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I know this code is probably hard to decipher, but I am kind of paniced and don't know where to start looking.
One more thing I noticed was the hissing from the 6637 got much louder like the intake fell off. It didn't. I tightened it down too.

Sounds like a boost leak to me. You can build a boost leak tester out of a few $$$ worth of parts from HD or Lowes (PVC coupler & cap, air hose nipple, other misc parts). Can't find the thread right now, but someone will chime in with it, I'm sure.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

To me it sounds like a boost leak. Could be the up-pipes from the manifold or any of the boots on IC pipes or spider.
I am sure one of our pros will chime in on this.

Third vote here for a boost leak. I can't find that thread with the homemade boost tester, either right now.

boost leak detector.....3" PVC coupling with a plug for one end.. a pressure gauge regulator from the air compressor rack..drill, tap and build...plugs in where the ccv is in the air intake tube

also, you need to check your intercooler boots ... since you said low boost and smoke through the RPM range
check the on each side of the intercooler and the two up top above the intake manifold, and even the 2 boots on teh intake manifold itself
it wont hurt to check those

Me thinks your HPOP might not be keeping up with the oil demand that the PCM is calling for. it will set a code for a while and then when the PCM see's that the ICP has stabilized the SES light will go out.
Even though the SES light is not on the code should still be stored. check for codes.

It looks like the cold side boot on the intercooler has slipped about a quarter inch from full seat. I tightened it up. Thanks.Would a boost leak cause the SES light to flash like it did?

Now the newbie really shines through...how do I check for codes?

it could also help to take them off, degrease them and the intercooler tube real good, then spray hair spray inside of the boots before you put them back on. this helps them stay in place better

Thanks.the SES light is probably semi-normal, i would have to agree its probably because your HPOP cant keep up seeing as you have an OBA and would make the overboost light nearly impossible
