    Question Oil Consumption

    Well it looks like I've got some work to do! Yea, I would understand it dropping under load, but a 20 psi drop??? No longer chasing the oil consumption...that seems to have gone away with the new injectors. What I'm still chasing is the hiccup and unburt fuel/oily residue on the back...

    Question Oil Consumption

    Fuel Pressure Well, I ended up getting around to attempting to get an accurate reading of my fuel pressure... Even with the 1/8" tubing (and a shorter length at that)...I still got 38 psi of pressure. It ended up settling at about 40. I went and drove it and had the gauge sitting on the...

    Question Oil Consumption

    yea, ill end up doing that too. I just think my method of measurement might be off considering the potential for the line to be expanding with pressure. So this hose...is it rubber or is it the hard plastic?

    Question Oil Consumption

    so, i plan on trying to get a better measurement of my fuel pressure today... where can i buy some of that 1/8" tubing and the fittings? I would think i can get the fittings at my local o'rileys, but what about the tube? Is it the same tube that i used for my boost gauge?

    Question Oil Consumption

    yea i think i get what you're saying. I'll have to look into the itp/sinister...seems like there's someone out there that sells the whole gauge that mounts on top of the alternator. I used a flat ss washer for the shim.

    Question Oil Consumption

    you took the words outta my mouth. i gotta pull that thing apart next and see what i'm working with. of course...im sure if that spring is messed up, you cant just buy the spring...

    Question Oil Consumption

    oh ok. i was thinking i would have to get a full blown setup. any suggestions on where to go get all this? the reason i got 5/16" line is cause thats what the gauge i bought fit into. when you say compression tubing, are you referring to the same kind of stuff that is used to run the boost...

    Question Oil Consumption

    yea i suppose i could try that. but before i go through the trouble of getting all the adaptors and such, should i just try shortening the hose? if not, I may have to look at getting an actual fuel gauge that is made to go in there. I really dont wanna spend several hundred bucks on...

    Question Oil Consumption

    well i would agree. but a difference of 30-40 lbs? would you agree that it seems off? i guess i need to shorten my hose and try again...but that seems crazy

    Question Energy Suspension

    If you have a press, or a way to get the links HOT HOT HOT...it should be a piece of cake. I had neither, thus it was hell.

    Question Oil Consumption

    Update Alright, got a new fuel pressure gauge from sumit racing and got it all hooked up... Same thing again...actually maybe a hair less pressure this time. I couldnt imagine that im blowing off any pressure because I've got no fuel leaking at all. The ONLY thing I'm doing different now...

    Question Energy Suspension

    HOLY CRAP:eek: Never again...that was an absolute nightmare getting that done. I had a propane torch, heat gun and hammer. I'm sore from whacking at those things so hard, and actually bent the housing the bushings to into from hitting them so much:dizzy And on top of all of that...the...

    Question Oil Consumption

    yep, thats exactly what i did. I've got a 6 foot piece of fuel rated hose so i can feed it through the hood and hold it right by my mirror to watch.

    Question Oil Consumption

    well, that would make sense, except that i can notice it even with the chip off. its just not as amplified...

    Question Oil Consumption

    makes sense...i'll order a new one...cause it worked fine before. do you think low fuel pressure could be the casue of my issue? just seems like it would be too high or something along those lines (aka...the engine is getting over fueled, which would explain the nasty oily bumper.)

    Question Oil Consumption

    Update Well, I finally got around to checking the fuel pressure yesterday casue I was under there replacing the filter. I think my gauge got screwed up when some of the glycerine gel/goo leaked out, because I was only registering 34 lb of fuel pressure. There's no way that can be...

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Changed the air filter (was starting to get pretty gray after 8 months), fuel filter (pretty dirty), and attempted to change out my sway bar bushings. Got the bushings on the bar itself done, and the drivers side end link...but holy crap were those end link bushings hard to get out!!! After...

    Help Needed Really strange noise

    Honestly, that drop in K&N is about the worst thing you could put on your truck. They have been known to not seal correctly and can suck dirt. In your case, my guess is, the thing is so dirty that it cant pull the air the turbo is demanding. You could try cleaning it, but i would really go...

    Help Needed Really strange noise

    do you have an upgraded intake or exhaust? sounds to me like you may be experiencing turbo surge, where there is too much air trying to be drawn in by the turbo (due to tuner, load, etc) but the compressor wheel cant move it, and as a result, you get some chatter. the fix is to replace the...

    Died on me this morning

    Drove to work, no problems at all. Ran great. got off the freeway, and was sittting in some traffic at a u turn, heater on, radio going and all of a sudden i feel the truck shake. Look down and the rpm gauge is sitting at 0, battery light is on and airbag light is on. It's like someone...

    Question Energy Suspension

    do you just heat the end link up itself or the bushing? I dont have a press so i think i would have to do this. the new ones install pretty easy? no problems?
