Hi guys,
I work 70+ hours a week and have very little time to address these problems. If anyone is in CT ot the northeast and wants to help in person I would buy all the beer and pizza you can carry(inside you lol).
If anyone knows a good diesel shop in CT or MA I would be open to dropping it off there as it's worth it to have it done right.
I am not making the power I did months ago, my boost barely breaks 20lbsand even then it seems laggy. It was not laggy before even with the 39s. It pulled very hard and I used to hit maybe 28lbs quickly. The truck is losing boost I believe, I checked the boots and tube and found no leaks( I might have missed something in there, it's very oily and dirty. The tube do have some oil and I did the CCV mod so hopefully that helps.
I did go wheeling about 3 months ago and hit some mud and water hard but nothing deeper than the 39s. Could I have gotten water somewhere that would make a difference like this? The oil is fine in the engine. Could a "coupling" come loose soemwhere? The exhaust may also have leaks, it loosened up while wheeling.
It also starts hard now and did not before, the glow plug relay is new( I replaced) and the batteries are fine(I'm told....).
Could there be a leak at the turbo and how do I find it? Maybe the intercooler has a problem? Replace the boots? Should I do the 6.0 IC and boots while I'm at it? Worth the couple hundred bucks?
Please help or call me 860-978-7214
