Where is everyone #5

Yea ain’t nobody looking at the engine when it’s rolling down the road lol, but it does look good at the truck stop when ya got the hood up inspecting things.....[/QUOTE]

They gotta catch ya first before they get a look see.....

B-e-r... B-u-r... B... Hell, I got to go.

 

There a bunch of alphabet programs I will have to test and certify in monthly. Then every exam I perform and every skills and road test must be logged in to a federal database to show compliance.

I will also be doing covert audits of third party testing sites and trucking schools.

I still have a lot to learn. I'll share as much as I can here without getting myself into trouble.

 

Later in life, early 30's

 

I hadn't thought of that, thank you sir.

Yes sir, especially the way she's burning diesel.

Okay I'll check that as well.

Yes I've checked all tubing and hoses, clamps, etc. Pre and post turbo as well as exhaust. I looked over the CAC but not super close, so I'll look at it again.

 

Your boost gauge reading normal? We are all guessing boost leak but if its reading normal then you could have issues elsewhere

 

Only thing is it isn't dropping to 0 when totally out of the fuel, needle is hovering just above. But I can hear the boost leak, plus the loss of power and mpg.

 

Maybe worse case a cracked turbo housing or egr system? Maybe a monkey climbed up somewhere while doing the overhead and cracked something important.

 

That's a definite possibility. So we'll take a look at places where heavy feet or hands may have landed.

 

Not sure if itd derate but if the egr valve was unhooked and all was working then it would seem that that would narrow it down.

If the valve on the intake side cant open then you shouldn't loose boost. But there again if it does derate you may not be able to get it back out of it so that may not be a good idea.
