[Aron]

Well Everett said he's planning to look at it tomorrow and let me know what it needs, if anything. If I need a bottom end I'll let you know.

 

[RedBeard]

Fingers crossed the engine is fine.

What did the surgeon say?

 

[Aron]

Oh my

 

[Aron]

What did the surgeon say?

He said my turbo is fucked lol

He has to get the new turbo on before he can tell if the engine is ok or not

 

[Aron]

Maybe that chewed up compressor wheel explains the metal flake I thought I saw in the oil

 

[RedBeard]

I was driving like an absolute idiot today and the DTR is

Hopefully he can slap it on, no other issues arise and you can enjoy it in a few days.

 

[Aron]

Yeah Im hoping. I really miss driving that turd. I've been driving my dad's Ram and gas is killing me. I drive too much for a truck like this.

 

[RedBeard]

I managed a solid 18mpg over 40 miles today

Everett cannot take a compression test before we sink possible unnecessary money into this thing?

At minimum taking a borescope to each cylinder just checking out tops of the Pistons no doubt there's probably just going to be thousands of little pieces all everywhere but I'm not too concerned about that

Ya, he's totally gonna fire it up and hope for the best

Go on..?

Car was dropped off in Morris today. May get some bad news tomorrow once he gets to look at it, as I have new suspicions of the engine being hurt. Otherwise, if it's just my imagination, I should get it back in a week or less.View attachment 195283

Does Everett have the software to install APR tunes? Asking for a friend. . .I mean me.

They’re likely coming out with an at home DIY way of doing it soon. They just sent a few more beta units out to people. I really can’t wait to correct my trans tune so I stop doing 2-4 shifts on accident while in manual mode.

I'm just wondering if that's how he does it or if there's another way. I supposed I could always ask him when I'm ready to pull the trigger on it.

I don't believe so. Im going to have to take mine to GRD when he's done with it

Compression seems fine

 

[The Beast]

Compression seems fine

 

[blue-sun]

Compression seems fine

is that official or your "butt dyno" assumption?

 

[Mook]

The peanut gallery is increasing

 

[DEEZUZ]

I mean the man said it seems fine

 

[DEEZUZ]

The peanut gallery is increasing

Is it not a legit question with a half hearted answer..?

 

[DEEZUZ]

What other damage are we even worried about and what do we expect after the new high performance turbo is bolted up?

 

[DEEZUZ]

The man said he thought he saw flakes in the oil..

How is just bolting on a turbo proofing out the main/rod bearings?
