That filter is for the VGT actuator. I have seen them restrict or stop air flow many times.

Did you look inside the speed sensor hole while turning the propellar to look for damage, or soot? I havent been in one of these is many years. I have the V-MAC III book, so later on I can look at the flow chart for a 6-2 code.

Oh My God !!!

I feel your pain

Freihgtrain...I hear ya.. I hit 57 Monday... and I have 2 rare trucks to put on the road and 3 other daily drivers that need tires and 2 need paint, and..... and..... and.... oh yeah, Im married, so..... theres her list... oh yeah,, I also have a full time job... Not B!tc#!ng.. just.... 🙃

I should be there... hell, its 6 miles from my house..

Did you wet the bearings with oil and squirt some in the well inside the hub?

Exactly

Hippy ? Uhhh No !! That girl would Kill me... If Terri didnt do it first.. 🍻

MarkT.... You Know It !!

Thank you Vlad !!

GW has a point about taking up pre load, when tightening the outer nut. It is something that people like me know how it feels when its RIGHT... I never had to redo a drive bearing set that I torqued with my method. But..... it can happen. When you finish the outer nut torque, you can hand spin the hub and tell if it is too tight. When I do it.. i turn the hub agressively, then grab a wheel stud and turn the hub as if its a crank handle. If i cant turn it, its too tight. And usually backing it off one hole on the lock rin bis enough... but what do I know 🤔 🍻

yes. the dowel location is not clocked to any certain degree. Many times after doing a zillion of these, when I back it off then set it to 50 lbft. the lock ring is lined right up to the dowel on one side or the other. it will be very close, half a hole off.. but dont sweat it if it is a full hole off anf you need to turn the inner nut to line it up. be sure that the dowel is in the ring hole so you dont jam the 2 nuts together and mash the dowel.. The wheel bearing will loosen up on it's own.

I forgot to say, the outer axle nuts gets put on with a large breaker bar as tight as you can get it. I think it is about 550 lbft.

if you are asking about bearing clearence, what we always did was.... preload the bearing at 200 lbft, then back it off, and set it at 50 lbft. to engage the lock ring on the dowel will sometimes require you to turn the inner nut a little. you can flip the ring over to see which hole is closest with out disturbing the final torque too much. I always choose to back the nut off a small amount instead of going too tight. does this post make sense?
