Well I pulled my Tranny out of my 2006 this morning cause of some awefull noise! Well I broke off 7 teeth from my 6th gear and a tooth off my main shaft!! Things seem to just keep getting worse and worse here!! Both truck are now down....

 

That does it - no more meth for you!

... and none for your trucks either.




















Just kidding - carnage is just part of the fun... it'll all turn out good.

 

I can't afford your fun my friend. . . . Not yet anyways

i have some touch ups on the resume, then it goes out first thing next week

 

I'd say that you're hard on your toys...but then again, not sure it actually needs to be said.

Time to start combining parts to make one good truck...

 

Yes I agree untill I can afford to get both back up and going again!!

 

Boy I can't afford that much "FUN" either!!!


Best of luck Matt.....getting your trucks back on the road. I think im gonna "grandpa" my truck around for a few months after hearing about your troubles. My EGT gauge isn't going over 700 degrees!!!! Boost....8 psi max!

..

 

Seriously............i have had a problem for a few months where my A/C blower wasn't working properly. It would sometimes cut off on it's own or just start blowing weaker. Other times it wouldn't come on at all unless I bumped it with my flashlight or my foot.

Well I finally got around to it and replaced the electric motor. I think it cost $130 or so from the dealer. Anyway....THANK GOODNESS........it seems to be working great now. Just wanted to share......some sort of good news.........and just in time for Spring/Summer.

..

 

Well I am happy you someone has some good news of course I am going to put my NV5600 out of my blue truck into my red truck to get me home on and not worry about the blue trucks tranny untill it at least has an engine it it that runs soa few modifications will hve tobe made for that swap but I should be done with it by Friday I hope so that I can haul my blue truck to Texas and then be back at school Monday at 7 am

 

Some more good news! My truck is back in 'better than ever" form! Has just not felt right since new head, fuel pump and turbos.
Could not pinpoint exact problem till I changed out VP-44, last week.
Discovered I had an HO (#28) pump installed when engine was put back together!

Brett at Ind. Injection agreed to cover his dealers mistake and is replacing with a new SO (#27) pump. Wasn't even his error... so big thanks to Brett!

I had always heard/read that an SO CTD would not run on a HO fuel pump. Not true! They just run irratically... occassional rough idle, less top end, more white smoke on start up, chugging on cold starts, some missing at cruise with light throttle and poor milege. All things I was attributing (possibly) to piston crown damage when my Firerings let go.

 

Round trip from PA to TX in under 3 days??
Sounds like some of the old legends spread about by the Hells Angels.... "Coast to Coast in 40 hrs"!

Hope you have a co-pilot? Good Luck!

RJ

 

... and a guardian angel!



Rowland, we're going to be stopping in Durant Saturday noonish so I can visit the de-badged BlueTec truck on our way up to Broken Arrow for Easter... in case you're in-town, bored and want better look at a 6.7L

 

Glad to hear your good news RJ. So I guess this confirms it, Tyler should be using an HO pump to make HP. Since it doesn't work for normal people, it should work great for him.

 

Congrat RJ!!! Your gonna have to get it back on the dyno now. Im sure that is comforting knowing the truck runs strong again!

..

 

Good luck on the round trip tow.....in under 3 days Matt!!! Please be careful. Not gonna be much sleep for you this weekend!

..

 

Happy to here that RowJ glad your truck is doing good. I pulled my NV5600 out while it was on the trailor last night and now I am just about to stab it into my red 06 and head to Oklahoma
