optima batteries arent what they use to be since the companty exchanged hands 6 or so years ago. They are a crap shoot now. May get a good one, may get two bad in a roll
Odyssey is now the best. I would buy any regular brand battery before Optimas.. Yea Im hattin on them. I can. Ive owned...
Maybe I will just do the spring mod. I read one place to go one click (1/4 turn) and I read another that went three? Someone conform? And what is one click good for on RPM gain?
Yea Ive spent hours on the TMs but being new to them Im very inefficient and with a 15 month old boy to watch I run out of time.
I played with it and it is clock wise to lower pressure. I got it set on 128 psi and I wouldnt dare ask but rather I will look up what pressure it is suppose to be...
My wipers and horn works as early as 30 psi. So my PPV is not working correctly and is passing air at will. I got one on order
BUT that is not affecting the over pressure problem. Why is it climbing to 140 psi+ and continuously blowing the blow off valve.
Where is the sensor to stop the...
I took mine apart and cleaned it real good. The piston moved freely but that didnt fix my problem. I read somewhere that I could replace it with a elbow to verify that it is the problem. True? If so then I can remove the internal guts to it and install to see if that works?
What is it doing...
its builds to nearly 150 psi and a blow off valve opens and repeats every 40 seconds or so.
I thought this was the adjustment high up on the firewall under the hood
But I have given it 5 complete turns counter clock and nothing changes.
This seems very low but Ive never had one of these trucks so I dont know. If it is in fact low thought about pulling the sensor and installing a direct gauge to the port to see what it reads. If its the same then oil pump problems if it reads stronger then gauge problems.
Is 10 psi low for idle?
I made it... Starter solenoid was shorted. pulled the hot wire from it and hit it to the hot side of the started and it craked over. Taped the hot wire up and out of the way and drive it 116 miles home..
Beautiful truck with 33 hours and 7xx miles.
I drove mine home today. The starter solenoid had a dead short. Removed the hot wire and jumped it to the start and bag it cranked. Taped off the hot wire and drove home.
good advice guys. I will probably take a gallon of oil for topping off if needed..
I will take distilled water for coolant but wont worry about anti freeze or the ratio til I get home.
Any other advice?
