when i start my truck and after it idles for a little bit it almost sounds like the waste gate sticks open or something. the exause gets louder. when i drive it down the road, and barely hit the gas, it will do it too and it seems like it has less power. then after i hit the gas a little harder it clears up. could this b a boost pressure problem. any suggestions on what the problem might b
i bought the truck as it sits. 10in lift, 40in tires and a chip. not sure what brand on the chip. i think it might be a superchip. just straight pipe about half way back on the truck. no muffler. my concern was it used to do it when it was cold and when i just started it up. now it does it when i am going down the road after it is warm.
Its the exhaust back preasure valve. unplug it. Its a 2 wire plugin on the underside of your turbo compressor housing. mines been disconected for over a year now. I hated that annoying thing.
its for emisions and engine temps so on and so forth... all it really does iss kill your milage and performance and annoys the pizz out of you.
how do i wire it as an exhaust brake? is it a great increase in mileage and performance if i unplug it? does it cause any problems if i rewire it or unhook it?
yeah its mid winter and I am soooooooooooooooo Fin sick of the hiss!!!!! I pulled off the road one day in a fit of rage to pull it out, lol but my girlfriend conviced me to keep driving! I am thinking of pulling the wires soon
the exhuast brake mod just sounds like a bad idea in my opinion, i think my truck has it done...at least the switch under the dash does something....and sometimes when i accidentally turn it on the epv comes on....i really hate it and can only imagine the damage it does at high rpms or high load.....o yea....i like the pic of the ford towing a chevy.....as usual....
