shortstack Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Bigen, you're not too far from me. When you're at Bruckner's, look up Tony in parts. Lots of good guys in there.

Mackpro Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hope Mackpro didn't have to many bud lights last niteHe's Gona get a text about 9:30 No BL's last night, I was up at 6 on my way to work, Got your text this morning. I was at my other job, I work 7 days a week in the winter so I can have more play time in the summer!. I would say just replace the turbo actuator/VGT when you get that many codes on it. Unless you have a wiring/harness issue or oil/coolant in the harness/ engine ECM or an air pressure issue to the . VGT or to the VGT controller box. With the local guys, I usually clear the codes and recalibrate the turbo and let them run a day and see what happens, but usually we end up replacin the actuator. Thoses things are $$$$$ about $1100 I think. And some times their like your starter "dont want to come off".

cgallamore Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Boost is all over the scaleIt would be doing fine never more than a mileThen throw code and derate to less than 20 psi. And exhaust temp go out of siteAfter a minute or 5 the code will go inactiveIf I stayed on it boost would jump to near 40 psiIf I watched and stayed out of the throttle enough to keep boost around 30 it would go a little till derate Quote http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/uploads/1272400769/gallery_4852_794_314995.jpg Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22677-need-help-super-heroes/#findComment-98350 Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortstack Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Can't say much for the service department since I do my own work but there's a bunch of good honest guys in parts. Also bought my truck there and was very pleased with them on that too. Hope they get you going soon and without a lot of $$$$$!

shortstack Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Any luck yet? Seems to be the standard anymore for "service". If that's what you still call it.
