    Do I need a new turbo?

    I've been experiencing some low boost issues, excessive black smoke and high egts. I have suspected the turbo vanes were sticking. I finally pulled it today and the unison ring was stuck. I had to pry it with a screwdriver to get it off. The backing plate where the unison rings sits is rusted...

    Does anyone make a 16x12 wheel?

    I have been searching high and low. The only 16x12 (8x170) wheel I can find is the Mickey Thompson Classics. I'm not a big fan of the look of that particular wheel. Anyone know where I can get a 16x12 set of wheels? Thanks

    Are my vanes sticking?

    At cruising highway speeds upon light acceleration truck doesn't build boost resulting in a cloud of smoke. Once I give it more throttle it lights the turbo and cleans up. Also sometimes at cruising I can hear the turbo change sounds without throttle imput. It will suddenly increase boost I...

    Best prices on A-Pillar Guages

    Up until now I've been using an old outdated bullydog monitor for guages. Now that I have a scanguage 2, I cant use both of them at the same time because they both work off of the OBDII port. I tried using a splitter and that doesnt work either. I want to get some A-Pillar guages. I'm thinking...

    I will be flushing my cooling system using restore and restore plus. After that procedure is complete, how many miles should I put on the truck before swapping the oil cooler? Keep in mind I've been running Cat ELC with a coolant filtration system for about 6-7 years and approximately 30k...

    Coolant leaking from exhaust manifold?

    I seem to have solved my high egt issue but now I have another. When I start my truck cold I can see what appears to be coolant leaking/bubbling out of the drivers side exhaust manifold at the cylinder closest to the front bumper. It only does it for a few minutes until truck is warm and then it...

    Climbed under the truck with a flashlight and started the truck cold. I noticed what appeared to be coolant/water bubbling out from the drivers side exhaust manifold at the cylinder closest to the front bumper (not sure what # that is) This is the same manifold that my pyrometer is mounted in...

    Tunes after Atlas 40 FICM

    I installed an atlas 40 tuned FICM recently. Since then my egt's are very high. With my race tune I was seeing 1200 degrees cruising at 70. I switched to tow tune and temps are much better but if I hit a hill or a head wind they shoot up to 1100 cruising at 70. Truck used to cruise at 800. It...

    Egr delete and Ca smog

    Is there an egr delete that I can do that will still maintain the factory egr valve, at least for 1 day while I get it tested? The test consists of OBDII check for codes which is not a problem because of the sct. They do a snap test for smoke which is not a problem either. The third part is a...
