I have a bag full of extra interior parts I can throw on the floor of you're truck Jason, just to see if you're paying attention. I just want to watch the pro's in action and drink beer. Its safer that way.

I think i would change out my A/C evaporator while i had that apart. Hmmmm another job to do just rolled 404,000 kmm's on mine.

Chris, you want to see how that turbo works anyways. It would be good to see everyone again. Might scare off the neighbors good. I'll drive my hemi over and show you guys on how do a burn out.

Hey I wanna come too!!!! I have a less intensive but equally important heat issue to fix too, I melted my vacuum line that controls my vent position, I've only had defrost since I swapped old melty out.
I'll bring the beer!!

Mike Holmen

Fred, I just used a vaccum line that I pick-up at Napa. I even had the line plugged up at the vaccum pump.

The problem is where it melted, it was just far back enough to suck through the firewall, so I can't find the one end. I have a peice of line, I just can't find an end to stick it onto lol.

Tate had the same issue with his turbo install.. I tucked mine up into the rubber moulding with some tape to avoid that if possible.

I moved my wiring and heater vacuum supply line up to the top of the firewall. Then wrapped it in heat resistant stuff (asbestos), and then covered/wrapped everything up with sheet metal. The wires to the PCM tend to get hot as well. That’s next thing to melt, don't ask me how I found out?
We auto guys, we can also melt the tranny dip stick handle off, during towing. I've done that one a few times as well. More fuel=more heat=more burnt stuff under the hood.

I run like 1000-1100 cruising at 120 unloaded, I think I should maybe look into heat sheilding some stuff!!! Haha asbestos....

120KM or 120MPH??

19Fury69

unfortunatly 120kph, its making 3-4psi.... wide open it struggles up to 32-34 with the wastegate blocked.

Diesel Dave2

I thought for sure it was 120MPH......Your kind of warm there at that speed...Don't know why you can't spinup the HX-40.Guys run them and they seem ok....

19Fury69

I have no idea either, its driving me nuts!!! I'm still hoping for it to just spring to life one of these days

I'd check for boost leaks Fred, cracked or ripped boot maybe.

That's about what mine runs at pulling my camper at 120. Whats it at when you get on the gas?

I just fixed my wicked turbo surging. I adjusted the wastegate when I did my headgasket and thought that was the problem. But I found out that I must of cut the wastegate hose when I was putting the turbo and manifold back in by myself. Its much nicer to to drive when the wastegate actually opens, and probably abit easier on the headgasket when I am not hitting 60psi.
