Need the link for Rons turbo service if anyones got it, I lost the link and cant seem to find it anywhere. Thanks.

 

Chris,

Ron's Turbo Service Link

 

Thanks alot Robin.

 

My pleasure Chris. I had it handy.

 

ron is a great guy i just recently ordered my blank pedistal with the outlet flange and SUPER fast shipping

 

Yea I need to see about getting a rebuilt one with a 1.0 exaust housing and a WW since I dont have any time to take mine out and rebuild it before I leave for N.C. in a couple of weeks and need a WW since Ill be towing the camper. ....Or maybe a Van turbo if he can get me one

Whats the purpose of the blank pedistal anyway?

 

Im pretty sure by blank pedestal he means the pedestal that doesnt include the Exhaust backpressure valve, you know, that annoying temperature activated valve that wakes up all you neighbors

 

Thats what I was thinkin but I wasnt sure, But I dont like my neighbors so I like my EBV lol. Its usally pretty quiet around here at 5am, well that is till I start the truck up and wake the dead

 

No kidding. Ever heard a 5" straight pipe with the EBPV closed at 5 am

 

Nah I just got the 4in straight pipe...but Ive heard a 5in straight piped before so I know what you mean, Im thinkin about stacks soon so that would be even louder Im told lol

 

Chris,

You may want to keep your EBPV for another reason other than to annoy your neighbors. If you tow and don't have an exhaust brake you can get a DP Decel tune that utilizes your EBPV for engine braking as well as locks up the TC. I just talked to Jody about it this week. I'm getting it put on the position right next to 60T.

 

New here and a first time diesel owner. Is that why the truck is louder till it warms up?

 

When the valve closes your truck idles up and makes that hissing sound. the valve is putting a load on the engine which causes it to warm up faster+ make that noise.

Almost forgot, Welcome to FTE

 

Yea Ive heard about that, not sure if Im sold on it yet, Id rather get a real exaust brake if Im towing that heavy of a load. I dont tow often so Its not really worth it for me.

 

Ron is a great guy, I'm still very happy with my rebuilt van turbo. He is by far the best and most reasonably priced turbo builder/rebuilder that I have found. I'm happy to have introduced him into our FTE circle a few years ago. I just couldn't convince him to become a vendor here, he said he was busy enough. I can see why, word of mouth can be a powerful thing! I haven't heard a single bad experience from anyone that I recommended to him.
