It was interesting to see the condition of the turbo. I think I'll pull it apart to get some good pics.
I watch my pyro like a hawk and NEVER run over 1000 degrees, so I was quite surprised to see the exhaust wheel melted like it was. no wonder I was having trouble building boost.

I know an exhaust brake is nothing new, and I understand how they work, I'm just looking for reasons your exhaust wheel was in the shape it's in.

DONE AND DONE!!!!!
Fired at 7:00 pm
25 hrs in all
one fuel leak was all we had to fix after the fact. thanks to some great help from a great friend and two great sons, Tom Dually runs again.
Initial impressions, WHOOO BOY. I got my truck back! I've still got to drive it some to get the air out. but boy does it run!
the 38R does like to talk, can't wait to get the house behind it to see what it will really do. the fuel system is way cool, 65 PSI rock solid, no air and a cooler.
Tom hasn't run this smooooth in a long time. idle is sweet and the cruise is so easy. as soon a the fun wears down alittle I get a MPG reading.
I'm gunna go crawl in the shower and wash the diesel off and have some ribs and beer.
thanks for sharing this little adventure.
BillyBob-- yes she has a sister but she's nothing like Cheryl. sorry I think I got the one and only. Cheryl can rebuild your engine, hang,tape and texture your drywall, fix your sprinkler system and still cook a gourmet meal before sun down
I agree will Brendan, I got the better end of the deal! I do't know why she likes me but I'm sure glad she does!!!

How "new" of a 38R is it? I just bought a new one and I can barely hear it; and I have an e99 with no sound deadening in the cab at all. The previous one I had was thee "fat lady" singing...
Supposedly the newest ones have some changes that definitely quiets them down. I have yet to tow with it to compare under load, but daily driving I almost have to listen for it.
Barney, you'll definitely love that setup for towing!! I still would like to get a 6.0L intercooler on, to help with EGTs.

Adam, I just bought the turbo from Clay, so I'm assuming its fairly new. as worn out as my old turbo was, it wouldn't sing at all.
Like Cheryl said"its nice to hear Tom whistling again"

Hey Rick, sure could have used your supervision on this one.
Yep, Cheryl's new house is ordered. goes into production June 4-5. should be done about 4 weeks after that. Off topic but how is the oil spill affecting you?
I'll take the turbo apart tonight and get some pics!
