You Go!! RowdyReble.. Put their ''NUT'S" back where they belong !! jojo

Well, I got my truck back together.. My work is not pretty.. If I had a lift, new metal, and better welders, I could have done a bit better.. I had a bunch of scrap steel on my rack and used what I had.. Kinda low budget work here.. But!! when I test drove it I took it on the bumpyest road near me, and there was not one single creeking sound or cracking sound like it used to do.. My guess is it will last at least 5 more years. maybe by them I will find a good frame, and just swap it out.. I was reluctant to post pics because my work looks crappy. on the otherhand, this is my reality... 🤣

Terry,, I figured that was the idea.. Mp's are pretty good about not consuming oil. Thats also why I posted about the E-6+E-7.. Im glad to know I'm on the same page as you sir.. Well, it's a nice day here, today, and I need to finish the frame repair on my Yota.. Then update it in 'Shop Talk" Cya jojo P.S. I hope he finds a simple reason for his oil usage...

Terry, are you asking me if a quart a week is a lot? I say yes if it is, as well serviced as stated, and if it is, well serviced this issue should have been seen as it progressed, and not an ' all of a sudden'.. Of course, I do not know who is driving and how he/she is driving.. if this was an E-6 or E-7, with real work and age in it's history,, no sweat,,keep squirting oil, til you need to do more to fix it.. but a 4 year old MP-7 with 190k??? dunno.. How many hours? and does it idle at 650 it's whole life?... jojo

Yeah that's why I posted a VIN for you from an RD. I was hoping it would have helped.. Sorry bud..

mdixon, I'm stumped, based on the info posted.. Thats a lot of oil, even if it just started recently.. I wonder how clean the under carriage is.. 🤔

Just curious... Can you pull the pipe off the back of the turbo to see if it is oily and such? Thats a lot of oil to lose with no obvious signs.. I would also think the DPF would have been clogged quickly.. Is there not excessive blow by? I know you said the CCV was clean. I see the mileage is low.. I'm curious, just because.... Jojo

A doz. Jumbo here is $9.89, large are $7.19....

at all engine speeds..

ok, on the sensor.. some do not have it.. you are looking for 60 -80 PSI... Jojo

O.D.,,, All i can think of is ,,, what looks good on the Idiot Box.. They put on a show to carry the Liberal Agenda.. What I understand is the President Trump had documents locked in a safe room with locks that were sanctioned by the D.O.D. So that tells me that there was already knowledge of stored doc's. at Mara Lago.. But Hunter's ,,, I mean Joe's,, I mean Hunter's Ukraininan and Chinese and Russian, documents were kept in a home occupied by a Senator/ Vice President... Not a sitting or ex- President.. Meanwhile the Lib's are trying to use the 14th amendment to prove that President Trump is not fit to run for ANY Office because of January 6th.. The sad part for me is that,, nowhere in this B.S., is there a concern for us... The Backbone of our Great nation..

yes.. leave the fuel temp sensor pluged into the 'T', just save a 1-7 code and a timing adjustment for the EUP's.. no real big deal, just better to not add a reason to through a code.. I have done this dozens of times.. I have a seperate tool box with the correct fittings just for this test.. Jojo

there is a fuel pressure regulator at the out put on the fuel gallery near the #4+5 cylinder.. Have you checked fuel pressure with a hand held gauge? Not a computer!! Before you throw EUP's at it, check the wires to all of them to see if they are chaffed against the block and each other,,, (very common).. sometimes they fray and sre connected by 1/2 or less of the strands.. jojo

Yes sir.. there are a few days where I work most of the day. But what I do is grease and oil changes on pumps) motors/ gearboxes and such.. not too bad.. Now I do work around wastewater, so,,,,. Well you know what you flush down the toity... Anyway,. Have a safe day.. Jojo

Eggaxtly right...... Adding to my little rant a few posts ago.... Wouldnt it be nice if these countries we give aid too, would send us billions of dollars, military euiptment, maybe some oil, heck even some food, since our govt. is destroying our ability to be independant. Oh crap,,,, I forgot,,, I'm supposed to go buy an Electric car.. Cya.. jojo

I just watched a news story on Egg production and prices.. U.S. avg. is $4.25/doz.. everything needed to raise chickens is at least doubled in short time according to the Egg Farmers in the news story.. So all of us are paying $2.00+/doz. more than last year.. But somehow we have Billions of dollars in military aid for a country that is probably not our friend.. I guess the Biden Marriage to Ukrain is still alive....... I can only imagine what it would be like if that money was used here to improve our supply chains, and distribution. Maybe use a few bucks to finish the wall, that is letting in a new low priced work force that is going to push us AMERICAN's out of our U.S. job's. ..... I Don't know.... Maybe I'm nuts.. Well,,,, gotta go... The wife and I are going E.V. shopping... Jojo

Good question.. I wonder too.. maybe: Spring packs, drag link, flip the oil pump pick up tube and the pan, I wonder if the cooling pack is different? I only ever replace stock parts with stock parts.. I look forward to see what the Pro's say.. Jojo

CL's are Great !! I couldnt think of another truck worthy enough to replace the RW, than the CL... Just my,, 2 cents worth.. jojo

I try to stay close to you guys, Bob.. my cushy city job let's me stay logged in all day.. I'm just like those 20 year old kids I used to bitch about at work.. now I'm doing it.. Jojo

A faulty turn signal switch/wand can cause issues like that, and tail light wires that are shorted together and so on.. I agree to it being a backfeed.. jojo

I think you mean Ultra Maroons... There Bug's..

That is exactly right... When deputies come to my street due to the druggies, they come to talk to me, and they like my gate and I say thanks... It draws a line.. If they cross it, their mine.. They do not tell me "You shouldnt talk that way" they just look and smile and say, "youre good"..

Trump was called a racist for wanting to stop international travel, and he was closing the border too.. What a bunch of Bafoon's we have today..

my bad.... Thought it was an MP..

What's that you say? Bob..
