  1. Need to watch your IAT temperature. As you increase the RPM the IAT typically falls off so the ECM holds the grid heater on longer. Hence why I normally don't high idle my truck I start let it idle maybe 30 to 60 second to sling oil on everything. I get rolling once you hit 20 to 25 MPH the grid heaters should be forced OFF!
  2. Double check the bearings quick if need a rebuild kit is super cheap. HX35W is a stock turbo typically a (54/60/12).
  3. Sure was a treat for me to do it for 12 hours and watch. After watching that how I knew he was a EXCELLENT transmission builder. Jon is extremely fussy about everything being CLEAN. Even his work area and table is keep spotlless during assembly. The transmission is re-cleaned again after he is completed. Then going through all the steps of testing and making sure everything is adjusted correctly. I know most people can't make that kind of trip, I would bet my own name on @Dynamic to be the better built for sure. Too many extras he puts into the design for longevity and making it hold the power.
  4. Didn't even last 1,000 miles. Power was not the cause. Still got the same power and same brass syncro no issues. AH64ID will say my fluid is the cause of the failure. Nope. Not at all Again I tried to change to something different and like Abe told me if I don't choice from his list of fluids the warranty would be void at that point. I've had really good service from the Mobil 50 trans fluid it is thicker but it clings to the bearing and gears much better than the factory fluid that was watery and thin. Still its a quality synthetic and its is GL-4 rated. Now when you study guys that do true racing and using higher power than me the stock or factory fluids have to be changed out for thicker fluids for protection. Thinner fluids do promote better shift quality but thicker actually clings to gears and bearing much better under heat. The only thing that is bad is come winter my transmission temp falls to near 100*F or lower most days so the fluid is thick, hence why I don't want FAST coolers it would make things much worse. Still zero shifting issues at even -20*F to -30*F I've seen last winter. Then flip to 110 to 130*F in Arizona trans temp was still below 200*F easy even pulling my RV on a 7% grade in Arizona heat. The problem is Autozone is is either a trip to Lewiston or Boise (whole day lost - 6 hours driving), O'Rilley's again a trip to Lewiston or Boise (whole day lost 6 hours driving), etc. Again the only local part store I've got is NAPA on in McCall is 70 miles round trip or to Concil, ID which is 104 mile round trip. I've also got a delivery to the house on Tuesdays I just gotta call Kevin in Council and it on my door step in the morning on Tuesday. All shops up here typically use 99% NAPA parts there is nothing else. Just like the Chevron station in Town yup, NAPA only. How do I know this so well. I just left for Lewiston, Idaho yesterday for food shopping and by the time I got done with everything and got home its 8pm. Mostly food but I did stop and get a jug of Synthetic oil (5w-20) for Eileen's car and a NAPA filter. Did not really save much on the parts but since I was in town why not get it. (Outside my network - different owner) My account with NAPA (Council - McCall) I get some pretty good discounts. I bought 4 gallons of standard green anti-freeze (NAPA) for $5.99 a gallon. Even done a coolant flush on a 6.7L not to long ago and it requires Dexcool I got is for $8.99 a gallon. My discounts are past on to me by the amount of parts I buy per month. More parts, better discounts. I've done it a few times buy my oil for my truck and get the oil filter for free. Here is current public price... For 3 gallons would of been $56.97 before taxes. Then what I paid for it... $8.99 a gallon for $26.97 before taxes! Saving of $30.00 even! Absolutely nothing wrong with NAPA goods... For me, better prices!
  5. Yeah the problem is all the extras Jon does to a transmission is great upgrades. The extra holes he drills for cooling oil for the clutches. How he upgrades a 46RE into 47RE. Yup seen that too... Not in a video anywhere. It would be great if Jon @Dynamic did a video of his builds too. Explain how to test your valve body in the transmission with air. Nope not in that video either. I understand some builders have tricks they don't want to give away either.
  6. Let me look into that I might be able to fix that quickly. Should be working now.
  7. Ok like NAPA so where do I buy parts at? Hmmm...? No other part stores around. No autozone, no pep boys, no o'rilley's, etc. Just NAPA. Again like the hosting company shgould I just pack up and move because they still can't get a clean IP address? We can't keep running and bad mouthing everything because of issues. If I did that I would be screwed without apart store to even get parts. But i undserstand how to get thing figured out and dealt with even NAPA. I've gone as far as being credit for lost time before because of faulty parts. But I can't just say no NAPA because there is nothing else up here. Both McCall and Council are owned by the same person so take your pick you still dealing with the same store. So shoulld I say no more blue top steering because I got a bad unit with nick in the output shaft and it leaked twice? Should I say no more ISSPro gauges because my pyrometer burned up backk in 2016? Should turn by back on AirDog 150 because it didn't hold up as long as suppose too? Crap happens... I deal with and move on in a proper manner. Being choices are limted for me I've got to keep what I got going... I do the next bestt thing and figure out why parts fail... Hence why like ball joints are now over 200k miles old. Brake pads lasted over 200k miles (economy NAPA). Hmmm... How about some of the research on HFRRand fuels... Must be doing something right to still have my truck after 423k miles still rolling... Haven't blown an engine either... Still making more power than 5th gen...
  8. Yeah, so I had a bad batch of syncros, this batch is good. First failure - Mainshaft broke 3rd and 4th gear. Kept all carbon fiber... Second failure - Pilot bearing fell out f the flywheel (Southbend CON OFE) and ruined the input shaft, main shaft, and ate 5th gear. Ditch carbon fiber went to brass. After that second repair, I did have two sets of bad syncros. First set syncros of defective brass syncros (3rd and 4th) Second set syncros of defective carbon syncro (2nd gear) Now After getting a new set of syncro from a different supplier problem is gone. This is rare but does happen. Still running. On the current set smooth as butter shift yet. Still would use then being Abe has backed me every time there was an issue. Yeah it sucks to pull it out and send it back in. But he's always stood behind his work and always made it right again. So just because of a defective parts you would turn away... Even I (myself) make mistakes and just to show this I did a thermostat for Jacob (Eileens son) typical job. New thermostat and gasket (square cut o-ring). Installed and let him run it and notice steam one even went back out with him clean it all up and installed and again. Ran to town and lost coolant again still leaking. After a 3rd time pulling it apart I found the thermostat housing was slightly bent preventing a good seal. A couple of hits with a small hammer and fix it now sealed. So should Jacob just never get service from me again because I (myself) since I had it leak twice? Sometimes you have to have failures to find the problem that your fighting. Maybe I should ditch my hosting company for the very same reason...? Still after 3 new IP addresses you are not able to get email from the M73M.com. Bad hosting company...? Or do we just hang in there and fix the problem. Hmm? Just because a few bad experiences does mean the (pick your place) is bad company, shop, store, person, etc.
  9. Could be the cables are corroded too. Do voltage drop test and see if either #1 or #2 leads are failing.
  10. You should stand beside @Dynamic and watch him tear down a transmission and then build it all back up to your specs in one day. Taking great care to tweak and test everything as he is building. Way better experience. Like his extra cooling for the clutch packs. Won't find in that video. How he does the valve body mods isn't there.
  11. Might be true but you'll find out if you have them tested at 100k to 150k they are already below 293 bar. Even my stock injectors had 150k miles on them. When I sent them to DAOP for testing failed badly at 250 to 260 bar. Yup they still run fine MPG was OK 18 to 19 MPG but the pop pressure was off for sure. Smoke was a bit more common to see but not bad. I just had another guy call me with a meltdown engine that was knocking. He attempted to run CR injectors to and now the piston is BANG BANG BANG as the engine is running. Just because it still runs good doesn't mean it a good idea to keep running on known wore out parts. I even told him the same thing... 100k to 150k get them changed. Got another just down the road from me it won't start unless a shot of ether is used. But runs fine no problems. Don't push your luck with 24V injectors they are so cheap to get and easy to do why?
  12. Weller truck has been good to me.Always been good price between $1,500 to $1,800 for a full rebuild and any replacement parts. Weller Truck - Dallas 3113 Skyway Circle N Irving, TX 75038-3526 (972) 258-0460 Who I use... Weller Truck - Boise 8484 West Victory Rd Boise, ID 83709-4169 (208) 331-1061
  13. Post heat is controlled by the battery temp sensor and the IAT but more so the battery temp sensor. As for suck on check the solenoids and see if the power is still applied to the trigger while stuck on. If so the contact arced together and fused.
  14. Hard to tell sometimes people have tires sizes in the signature but then on the other side when they don't post tire sized I tend to assume there is oversized tires possible being majority of people do run larger wheels and tires.
  15. Yup I kind of figure there was something a miss. ABS is really fussy about being lied to with oversized tires and improper tone ring values.
  16. Bad connection with probes or the wrong AC voltage level.
  17. Was the engine running? Typically all diodes give off just a little bit of noise. Like even my truck floats like 9mV to 11mV AC.
  18. Just had the fuel drain on my landlord truck start leaking and did a o-ring rebulid on his stock fuel filter. After installing 3 different size o-rings it stopped leaking. Then he turns to me and said, "In all these year I've never opened that drain why would it be leaking now?" It's fixed and drained out. Now getting his started it took a Cummins to crank over a Cummins. Yeah I had to drag him through the yard to get his started. My laundry list is growing again. Mine I need to get start on my steering without fail I need my truck ready for snow time. Lucky for now its only raining.
  19. Local NAPA up here sells expensive MAP sensors. Should be good quality...
  20. Bruneel Tire In McCall was my FIRST time for my truck at 350k miles after doing tie rod ends.$60 bucks and good as gold...
  21. I've used compressed air one time and just vacuum it back off. Another weird one I had to forceifully over charge a system to get the compressor to show its leak around the body seals once it was over charge and more liquid in the system it start to slowly push out after it sat for the night.
  22. Still no where to go... Heck go run Firebird quarter mile...
  23. Another spot that is common for leaks but shows no signs of leak is the compressor shaft seal will leak but the pullet will sling off any oil or dye so its tough to diagnose that one too. Bad o-rings or too small of o-rings can leak too and sometimes not show dye either. If you do change o-ring make sure to have a bottle of PAG oil and lube the o-ring before snapping connections back together again. I've seen replacement parts like condensers and evaporators with the wrong sized o-rings too. Do you have enough oil in the system? Lack of oil sometimes can dry o-rings out a bit and allow them to leak the freon out without much dye because of lack of oil to push the dye around.
  24. I'm still on the old style Y steering (OEM parts). I know there is a few on hear that have done the T style steering.
