DC is going back to aluminum endcaps due to extreme warranty on plastic versions.

Good example of a bad cost savings idea that got ramrodded through by the accountants. Spend $1 to save a nickel.

We have a machined piece of Aluminum with a barbed fitting in it that attaches to the compressor inlet of the turbocharger. Attach a pressure gauge and pump it up with the air compressor. If the pressure drops off, you have a leak.

Helllo Geno? Get on it. Maybe I'll just make them myself.

 

I guess I will try to find someone here in S. CA that can pressure test it. Maybe even ask Dodge to do it. I will find out tommorow and post and let you know if DC can and will test it for me.

 

try taking the ic to the radiator shop to have it press tested. thats what i do at work on truck and crane engines

 

If dodge cannot test it in the vehicle, then I will give that a shot. It would seem like they would need to be able to test the integrity of the system as a diagnostic tool.

 

go to the hardware store get some pcv pipe and plug both lines get a guaged regulated air supply and pressurize the ic and watch the press. you should be able to do this in the truck cheap
