  1. So consensus is if it's squeaking no matter what point of engagement it's the bearing. Got it! Just extremely upset I gotta pull the transmission after $30k.....
  2. If that's the case then what's the deal? Like it's probably not even 30k old?! Could that be a slave problem or what? I made sure last time to grease the ever living s#!+ out of it so it wouldn't do this Edit: I'm reading a lot of people saying it'll only make noise when the clutch is depressed, which I find a hard time believing cause last time this happened is when I did my clutch and my throw out was gone.
  3. Noticed today that when the clutch is engaged (foot off the clutch, "in gear") in any gear or neutral, there's a screeching/screaming noise coming from the transmission I can only assume. Clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, and throw out will be 2 this September/October and if it's the throw out bearing this will be my 2nd one that started by screeching before taking my clutch out. What could it be and if it's the throw out bearing is it too late to save my $1000 clutch or would it be something simple like a slave cylinder? I so think I need a new one since engages and disengages are a little rough...
  4. I might try and do that too, might solve my fuel economy issue....
  5. Tighten the crossovers? Am I missing something? Mine just pop in...?
  6. Cool. Believe mine is going out again ? time for a timbo this time.
  7. -Valves were done, obviously I can do it again. -Injection pump is not even 5 months old -Wheels soon freely, even replaced the read ebrake cable in February and if anything the tires are too aired up. I'm down to thinking it's injectors or my flatbed since it seems it would cause a lot of drag, but not as much as I'm seeing.
  8. Set valve lash a year ago, and it wasn't that much off when I did... 800, like Mike said. I probably should have specified, 12% load at idle with a/c on.
  9. Well I figured it was the injection pump since it sat open in a shop for at least 6 years, but I bought a brand new pump and nothing changed. Has to be injectors, which I put in in Feb 2018. 6-9% at 800. A/C on I've seen it up to 12 at idle.
  10. Yeah see that's why I've been scratching my head. I used to get 18-19mpg with my smarty and my 100s and then it started dropping and got to 16 and then I got the quad and it dropped all the way down to 14-15mpg and I kid you not no matter what I do tune wise nothing changes.... Could be injectors, but I'm not sure. Once warm it kinda has a catch in the idle, it's not bad, but still a catch.
  11. Gotcha, thank you gentlemen! I'm at work so I'll toy with it at work. I know I bumped it up but I didn't want to bump it up too much before consulting with the experts!
  12. I've got my current tune on 2 and I'm staying in that 20% with it creeping up towards 30% sometimes so we'll see how this tank does and I'll go from there. Where would you recommend me start on the timing? 14*?
  13. It can get up there, keep in mind I'm pulling constant grades, and it's a dually with a flatbed that hangs off about 8in both sides...
  14. If I went up in injectors would it be wise to do so with a turbo as well?
  15. See I've just got stock pop pressure, and now that I have a new job, should I maybe bump up to 150s and a higher pop? I've still got stock head bolts and all, haven't done much to the motor but I definitely want a bigger turbo. As well as my oil temp is ~4* cooler than coolant temp it seems.
  16. Your head must have been loving every minute of that.
  17. I've tried just simply googling it and it'll just pop up pigtails but of course like every manufacturer they have to have their own proprietary clip for every sensor, and my local salvage yard hasn't gotten a 2G in for awhile (which is good, but bad in this case )
  18. Will do! My plug for my rear diff speed sensor is broke on the pigtail, a long with a bad abs module, so I need to find a new pigtail or plug if you know where to snag one!
  19. I'm running 235/85/16s, which correct me if I'm wrong, are bigger than what came stock on the dually's? So that may be my problem, cause Mike did mention tire size but I've always heard you want bigger tires to drop the rear end ration down for better mileage so I never thought anything of it or to change anything to compensate for that. Edit: just checked the door sticker, 235/85 is stock tire size. Makes even less sense to me!
  20. Light throttle load limit is set at 25%. It's been a bit since I've messed with tuning and such since I just started driving a lot again since Rona hit, so I gotta relearn what everything does
