Happy 4th Monday

 

Isnt the trick to give it the onion every time you drive it to keep things from building up?

 

If you don't smack limiter once per drive did you even drive it!

 

Yep, that'll be it so the DPF can burn out whatever is in there.

At the moment it's still at my MIL house but I'll go check it out tomorrow. She wants to put it in my name right away but I'll need to make sure it can pass smog for that to happen. She's got the title and official copy of death certificate at the ready.

 

With the exception of the Duramax I had (trade-in) I've never owned or maintained a diesel so I'll be asking on here.

 

don’t even think about it, Nelson.

So help me god

 

Yeah. Leaks aren't fun. Hopefully that sorts it for him.

 

@Wulf for the graphics

@0xDEADBEEF for the location and full-size Cheviness

 

Speaking as someone who dropped out of multiple art schools, save your money unless you're interested in doing something insanely specific/technical or teaching.

 

My old boss had one about that age. Manual swapped with an nv4500, it was pretty sweet.

 

Lol you were in my van, you probably didn't realize it but it was hammer down more than once

Ouch ya smog sucks. Can she gift it to you so you don't have to pay sales tax?

Glad I won't be the only one. I'm too embarrassed to ask about the Powerstroke lol congrats on the new truck though.

 

We had one when I was a kid. It was great. Load up and drive on the beach with everyone packed in comfortably plus all the gear. Good old trucks.

 

Ooof, well it got us there. Time to turn the boost controller up a couple PSI maybe

 

Hoe is your undercarriage doing? I might try woolwax next fall.

 

As cool as more power would be it does just fine getting up to speed and cruising at 65mph. I just want it reliable.

 

morning boys, tomorrow's Friday. hope you are all having a good day

 

I did <1000 calories yesterday, let's see if I can keep the momentum so I don't turn into a fatass

 

How's the Merc, weather is beautiful this morning so I'd assume you took it to work.

 

@Speedytech7 do you know how much it'd be to rebuild or at least refresh a 1FZ-FE, compared to say, a 5VZ or 3RZ?

My 97 had so-so compression in the 120s and 130s, and it seemed down on power (I needed to grab 2nd and mash the throttle at 4k rpms to maintain speed up most hills). The bearings seemed good from the oil analysis, but how much would it be for new rings, seals, and gaskets?

 

It feels like it could allegedly hit triple digits easier than before and that across the rev range it gained more power. Sounds strong and healthy and is smooth as butter. Glad it was relatively easy and cheap fix. New plugs, injectors, coils and filters for $800 isn't a bad deal and should last me some time.
