Artful dodger Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 FJH, I didn’t have anybody to help me check what I did do was look at it with the engine off and with the engine running so off it was the stroke was up and on the stroke was down all the way bottomed out fully extended, and I’m assuming you’re talking about the actuator on the turbo side that has the metal braided line that runs across the motor into it airline and I took the line off and started it and thumbed it actuator went up and down. I will see when I get up here and stopped if one of these other drivers will look at that actuator while I turn the key off and on, I appreciate you guys going above and beyond on this there have been a couple of blogs that I’ve gotten on to try to make sense of all of it and it seemed all they wanted to do was give people a hard time and didn’t know what they were doing appreciate it fellas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a Boost gauge! Watch the boost! Rev the engine to max rpm! And feather it back and forth drop back 300- 500 rpm and back up to max top rpm do this half a dozen times see what kind of boost it generates! It should make around 15-20 psi just sitting there doing this! if so If its working as it should! It should sound like a kirby vacuam cleaner While you do this!🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful dodger Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 No boost gauge so I’ll have to either put one in it or find somebody that can watch that actuator and see if it’s going in and out. I wish I knew how many I was running a boost though that would help a lot aftermarket boost gauge shouldn’t be hard to come by I think I found the VGT it’s down inside the frame rail, kinda up by the steering box between the oil filters and the steering box I think that’s what it is anyway it’s covered in so much shit that need to spray everything down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful dodger Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 What was this originally used for in this truck? I could probably stick a boost gage in that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjh Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Copilot I believe! Is there no screen in it? Is there no boost gauge to your left in the gauge cluster there? If that had a screen you would have had an option to look at boost oil pressure and some other vitals . Mpg ect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful dodger Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Ya this thing is honestly a shit show no boost there’s coolant volts oil psi oil temp now oil temp is up to 230 red lines at 250 not sure why intercooler is where it is but can’t change that I really want this damn thing to run right goin to try and find a filter is where I described the vgt the right place you think? Inside frame rail between oil filters and gearbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Heinz Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 8 minutes ago, Artful dodger said: U under the ecm right It was behind the oil filters on the driver's side of the engine block on the CXU in our shop. I can only imagine it would be the same for yours. It's a very shallow but wide filter. Looks like the below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
