I think its time to put an eyeball inside the fuel tank. Myself and others have found nasty stuff in them. My two cents.

Wire screen in the back of the fuel pump probably needs eyeballing also. Did it have the coalescer in the center of the fuel filter? Looks like you own tools and are not afraid to uses them! Good looking project.

If the turbo is spinning freely my next stop would be to inspect and clean the catalytic converter. And yea, where did you tap into the manifold at? At least two inquiring minds would like to know......

I stand corrected on the smaller ones. I believe my CAT turbos had little to no play though.

Yes and it should not drag an any edges. No lateral play at all.

I would report that to a guy named "Musk"

Before any more remedial work i would pull one side of the turbo or the other down to the point you can get a finger on the pin wheel in the housing and make sure it spins freely. From your explanation i think it's frozen. Turbo seals can and do leak. The exhaust side gives you oily smoke, the...

Everyone is correct about leaving it and I suggest you only replace it with the "real" replacement part with the screw in the center. My 2 cents for what it's worth.

If you happen to pull apart one of the late model 4l80e's we need to chat.

A piece of lexan and bit of fab work you can make a replacement. If I can get my tech. guy involved I'll post a picture of a fab piece.

THANKS for the follow up!

And just to be safe, check the bolts on the brake disc rotors. Just to be safe.

Second choice is a leaking turbocharger, oil is puddling in the intake to the point it is being pulled into the engine. Should this be the case the exhaust would look like rolling coal. A look on the intake side of the intake manifold should show black oil. Just my 2 cents.

Mushroom plug, inserted from the inside.

Get out of the truck.

You might want to look at "db engineering" great guys in TX make some similar stuff. It's cut your own proposition though.

If I remember correctly NAPA at one time had 2 flavors of these , cheaper and not so cheap = less runout.

I wouldn't worry about any of that stuff!!! Unless there were a LOT more tie downs involved the first minor upset and the HMMWV is leaving the trailer, no problem then........

Can't disagree with that!

I think they mean the doors with the straight upper portion. My understanding they only fit the 1114 series trucks. But I may be wrong!
