TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I think we need the belt routing picture on page #1. I couldn’t find my sticker, and when I was doing mine I got grumpy searching online for one (didn’t find it) but luckily I was able to figure it out without one. I must have done it right since my truck didn’t snap a belt even while abusing it at the hammers

 

I should have the photo myself under my hood. I'll have to snap it for page 1 sometime.

Good idea.

 

Should and the main belt routing as well. We all know it will be asked.
Side note: I was not paying attention to the pic. I took it upside down as the hood is off.

 

same. just got tired and couldnt find any pics.

 

Here's a clean one... I'll scan the decal later this week and post a clean copy.

 

new noise today. No binding but not a nice noise and is only there while moving. My first thought is the rear end. It’s relatively new. seemed to start to go away as it warmed up. I didn’t go far and went back home. Any thoughts? wheel bearings, drums or rear end but hopefully not. I’d did swap leaf packs a couple months ago and feel the rear is angled more than it should. Did not notice until today.

 

it's gonna grenade and explode in flames, better sell it to me quick. lube all the usual suspects. sounds like exhaust hangers or suspension bushings.

 

I was thinking the hammer hangars or leafs as they are the newest parts. But also only seems to happen when driving with the gas pedal.

 

This thing is almost tempting for parts alone. Anyone needs a S/C, Wheels, some armor (maybe).

screw the supercharger, look at all that wiring!

 

looks about like mine.
curious how the chocolate milk works for brake fluid.

 

enough wiring there to get your money back in copper scrap

 

Although it's the least of this truck's worries... but I've never been very keen on mounting an oil catch can so far away from the source.

 

Agree with you there. Seems like to fit the rats nest on the right resi, catch can etc were all moved to the passenger side. I considered that too but decided against it.

 

I wonder who on here had the mishap.

 

I mean.. mines on the passenger side. I dont have room either.

 

@XPOTRPR @White lightning boosted
With your catch can mounted so far from the nipple, do you ever find "puddling" of oil inside the rubber hoses?

I'm always surprised at how much oil is caught in the can and nervous if oil would pool in a hose run of 3-4 feet with twists and turns. The pooling of the oil would then choke vapor flow.

That's what I imagine in my head. Although i know space is a premium in the back corner of the firewall.

 

i should look into that. i am having an odd rich afr reading at part throttle. slight power loss i believe too. im in need of plugs to be swapped asap. im hoping that is the case. my laptop took a dump so i need one before i can even try the hp tuner.
guess one way of checking is take my catch lines off and blast some air through them.

 

I've never noticed anything, but I also havent checked the hoses since I installed it. I just cleaned it before our trip too.
