  1. I dunno but from that recording you have I'd be dropping that downpipe and having a peak inside or your EBP sensor is biased but I really think you have a restriction somewhere. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/2cents.gif You said this all started after a major repair.... anything stuck at the inlet side of the turbo?
  2. Greg, I take it there are no clean air programs in your area, I see many vehicles that cross the dyno that are major failures when it comes to NOx and HC. Ususally some kid with a Mustang that has all the toys and can't figure out why it fails... and it producing 3 - 10 times the allowable amounts, and thats only at the speeds on the dyno, now factor this in a freeway speeds or the late night *acceleration* tests and one can only imagine the amounts being spewed out of the pipes. Now when you see a diesel blowing huge clouds of black as it leaves the light in a rapid fashion doesn't that make you sick knowing what it's doing to the enviroment. Now I'm not a tree hugger by any means, I do have my hot rods but they are drivin maybe a handful of times in the year but they are tuned properly and will pass the sniffer tests but yet have been heavily modified for performance use. My daily driver is a diesel with a 4" exhaust front to back and I made sure I had the cat back on it, and it passes the sniffer too, just because I want it to be an eviro-friendly vehicle. The main thing is if we don't do our part who will?
  3. Suspect a setup /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rofl.gif
  4. I could never understand the chance of losing your job over a couple bucks and throwing your whole career out the window /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shrug.gif
  5. With the price of housing, you NEED to make that and a second job would be to pay the utilities /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rofl.gif 375,000 for a friggin mobile home /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/icon_crazy.gif
  6. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rofl.gif and they wonder why the repair costs are so high on these things.... Aaron used to call the FQR stuff Ford Quality Repaints, thinking he was right /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/flamethrower.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/ford.gif
  7. Funny you should mention this, I had a long block last summer for a E-series that had a 3/8 Allen key in the pan /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shrug.gif
  8. Just buttoned one of those up on an 06 E-series with the same codes and an eratic no start, found the wires wore through right under the air intake between the intake. The shielding made some really nice cut marks in there /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banghead.gif
  9. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rofl.gif now thats always possible /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
  10. So, has anyone heard from Aaron yet? Last time I talked to him he was in Edmonton and wasn't feeling so good, and that was over a week ago..... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/scratchhead.gif
  11. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rofl.gif
  12. Thats a good saying /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbup.gif
  13. Noticed some are like this even from day one and others fire almost right away.... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shrug.gif I consider it pretty normal.
  14. And usually cold .......
  15. I have and I will but I usually try to refuse it and make sure they know that they don't have to. I had a few this past summer that made it impossible to refuse, even going as far as giving to my SM til they've left, others have given me a thank you card, which I prefer over the money because it shows appreciation for a job well done and in the case I'm refering to a rescued vacation for a family.
  16. Well it is work related /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbup.gif
  17. Well bud todays one of those days I think I shoulda went with ya, almost regretting the decline of the offer /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banghead.gif

    looking for 6.0

    Good point Bruno, I think the 6.0 has a lot of potential to be a strong long lasting engine once repaired properly. I've been looking for a newer truck to pull my 5th wheel and a 6.0 is looking pretty good at the moment.
  19. Yeah he's bailing on me, but givin the opportunity that opened I can't blame him one bit.... hell I'd go too if I didn't have family that aren't willing to relocate again /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shrug.gif
  20. Care to enlighten us on how you do it in chassis then? I know I'm curious to know if it's worthwhile.

  22. Another vote in favor of the IDS, I bought the VCM and cables a little over a year ago and it's paid it self off many times over, both at work and some of the side stuff I allow into my garage ( which isn't much ) for off brands I shoulda listened to Bruce and instead I bought a Mac Mentor which is a good unit but it doesn't do nearly as much as I would have liked. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/2cents.gif
