help me this thing is making me mad. (power loss

[bumbleG]

just rebuilt mine,very easy but 375$ tko keep driving like this you could over boost.stay off the pedal till you fix it.

there is some oil under the pedistal, but i don't know if it is coming from the pedistal. i thought that all that valve does is close to help the engine warm up. and if it is dissconeected it wont close to help the engine warm up.

[00powerstrokin]

i don't think that you can over boost because the valve stays open all the time until it gets cold out. some trucks don't even have this valve. i don't think that there is any way that you can over boost by dissconnecting the valve. thank you for your input though

[bumbleG]

no but the warning is when you have it (wired shut) just a warning..also check around where the arm comes out of the pedestal to see if you have oil up there. If you do then your seals are probably out.

[bumbleG]

only other oil source in that area is the turbo seals. Easily to replace. easy enough...

ok thank you. i guess i might have to bite the bullet and take it in. i will probly replace the eot sensor first though it is only 10 dollars. i just went for a drive and it kinda feels like my clutch is slipping when i relly get on it. i wonder if it is just something to do with dissconnecting the valvle and not the clutch. i hope so any way. i am almost out of money

[00powerstrokin]

what was your truck doing when yours went bad?

[00powerstrokin]

what controls the truck and tells it to idle up when its cold outside? i need to replace my turbo pedistal because my exhaust valve is acting up, if i replace this will my truck idle up when its cold? or does something else control this?

[99Smokin73Stroker]

There's probably a couple of temp sensors monitoring intake air temp and the actual temp of the engine, and it acts accordingly to warm the truck quicker. That's my guess.......don't quote me!

i replaced all the sensors already, no fix
