I know this is a suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper old thread, but I am that buddy, guy. When I put my 4th gen steering upgrade on, I was at stock ride height and on stock wheels. My steering wheel was a perfect 180* upside down. I saw the same youtube video linked, and yes, the wheel has a master spline in it. D: So what I did was took the steering shaft off the steering box itself and simply rotated the wheel until it was normal, and put the shaft back on. To date, I have not had any issues with the clock spring.

Every week. Body, roof, in the bed, wheels, under carriage, and engine bay all get soaped and rinsed.

I have the same stuff for my wheels, and I wash the truck once a week, so I can kinda keep it under control. It gets really bad after I tow. Then the front wheels go from polished to gun-metal grey

Food for thought, you may see an increase in brake dust with those. I went with Carquest severe duty semi-metallic pads, and the brake dust is absolutely horrible. Also, they squeak really badly periodically. Not saying the Wagner pads will do that (they are a very high quality product) but that's my experience with semi-metallics. Only reason I bring this up is because it annoys me when the shine of wheels gets dulled from brake dust. I like seeing the wheel of light they reflect as they turn....

two get bilt. Duh.

Are you working on Teslas? I know the Prius (Mike this word needs to be added to the bad word filter) battery is around 2K

If I lose it, I'll just steal the one out of Tyler's kit and make him ask you for it :D

By "work on" you mean burn to the ground because there's not enough room to get your hand under the hood?

Every time mine death wobbles, I make it do a WOT run to ~100 to punish it (yes I know I make bad choices) and show it that I'm in charge, but either it's a masochist or just doesn't listen....

Sure is nice to come home to truck parts! Hopefully this'll keep my truck from being a **** for at least a few more months..... (and I left the censored word because the truck deserves to be called it)

That is a brutal climb. Where did you go camping?

Man, I sure don't miss the rust buckets that come out of the north.... The plow truck on the family farm in MN ('95 Ram 1500) is impossible to work on due to rust. All the salt they use up there makes for a not fun time working on things..

These trucks are alive. And the more you love them the more they hate you. @TFaoro and @jlbayes know this the best out of any of us. I can't answer to the likelihood of it malfunctioning in the time it took to change a turbo. Seems odd that a control box under the knee bolster would suddenly come loose. Maybe a coincidence?

Mine were both OE as well, but when carquest rebuilt them (I got calipers as well), they must've left them bare metal because mine already have plenty of surface rust on them.

And I "borrowed" that picture from Google! Hope the brakes work as well for you as they have for me!

The bypass valve is actually in the return line, so fuel is returned directly to the tank, but only after it has flowed through the VP to cool it

That would explain why you weren't building much boost... Is the housing seated all the way? I know @TFaoro had issues with his HE351 not sealing on the compressor housing.. Or there is an o-ring that could be used to seal it up

He did

Mine did that too. Just sucks when you have to guess about the turbo timer because the quad reads 1600* at idle lol. But easy and cheap to replace. DAP has them.

What you can do ease cranking times is hotwire the Fass for about 25-35 seconds to make sure there's plenty of fuel up to the VP and even into whichever line the plungers happen to be on. Run a jumper wire from the positive battery terminal to pin 87 on the Fass relay harness.

1,3,4 are the easiest to get to. Water for a bit won't hurt it, when I switched to G05 coolant, I had to flush (fill and run 2-3 miles w/o thermostat) about 5 times before it was all cleaned out

Oops missed it in the last picture. I see it now! That should be a good level.

If you get bitten by the power bug, you may find yourself switching to that adjustable boost elbow in the future....

Dual track bars for me! Sure is weird to feel the wheel actually attached to something....

Right now I want the death wobble to stop. Steering wheel is pretty tight now that the box has been adjusted some.
