Will do.

Thanks @dave110 I was actually thinking that in the back of my head. Last week my son was driving it and as he was approaching the stop light it died. He cranked it a few times and it finally started. Being he’s 17 I thought maybe he was fiddling around that caused it to die. It’s never just died on me. I figured it would throw a code if ip was the problem. My lp pressure at idle is 20. The lowest it may drop is 14. I’m running a relay for the lp that is triggered by the ecm. Maybe time to call Bluechip. Just spoke with Bluechip. Very helpful gentleman. Can’t remember his name. He said with all the symptoms it’s the injection pump. The reman pump should be here next Friday. The truck has about 271,000. I bought it with 231,000. It could be the original injection pump.

White smoke. That makes sense. I changed out a couple set of injectors over the last couple of years. I cheated and didn’t change out the O-rings or tubes. Probably all original. Just got back from a one hour drive. We stopped at the grocery store and it took a lot of cranking to get her fired up. Backed back into the driveway. Nose down. Turned her off. Tried to start again and same long crank. I waited a few minutes then she fired right up. Guess I’ll be putting new o-rings in. At least to remove it from the equation.

Can crossover tubes cause a slightly rough idle in park and occasional hard starts and not leak diesel into the engine? I’ve tightened the banjo bolt behind the head and the T fitting next to it. I park the truck nose down in the driveway no issues starting. Park it on level ground and every few startups it takes extra cranking for it to start. Injectors are fairly new. It didn’t start right after the injector install. Probably a couple thousand miles after. Thanks for any help.

I first ran a 5 amp fuse. A few days later it popped. I then put a 7.5 amp fuse in. No problems for over 2 years.

A used cast compressor wheel? I’d offer him a case of beer or $20. If he takes the beer drink a few with him.

I rebuilt mine a couple years ago with a new turbine and compressor wheel. From what I remember it didn’t cost to much. I’d shop around online. Check out eBay. Should be a long list of them. A cast wheel should be pretty inexpensive.

I just followed @IBMobile guide. He linked it on your thread. He even gives the NAPA part number relay that has the diode. It’s on the first page. I bought two. For a backup. @jtrakel

Thanks @IBMobile installed my lift pump relay today. 15 amp pump fuse and 2 amp ECM fuse. Thank you sir!

They’re being taken away!

Gotta love the white Dodges with black wheels!

At 325 bar. No smoke! Just how I like it!

A little over 30 empty. Wiretap 6 levels on the quad set at 1500 level 4 it’s maxing my gauge out at 40. I’m sure is going higher. That’s my tune.

No worries! It’s all good! I’m extremely happy with it!

Yes it was already put in. Not going to put the Hx35 back in. I’ll just purchase another BALANCED rotating assembly. It’s my work truck can’t be down. I can pull the cartridge pretty quick and swap assemblies. I learn things the hard way! ? at least the next person can learn from my mistakes ?

That does seem pretty pricey. I’m in the process of talking with Turbo lab directly about a balanced rotating assembly.

Well sheet! Is this going to ruin my turbo? Should I pull the cartridge back out and have it all balanced? Or will I only get 50,000 miles out of it instead of 100,000? Was yours off by much?

That’s good to know! I didn’t have the wheels balanced because I thought they already were. I saw balancing marks on the turbine and compressor wheels.

Hopefully! Time will tell. I’ll keep everyone updated.

Thanks I love it!

Just specify what compressor wheel you’re using and they’ll mill the bearing housing out to fit.

She’s like a rocket ship now! My son was driving I told him to get on it a little bit. Didn’t have enough hose to hook the waste gate up yet so there’s a little bark at the end. Sorry about the glare. IMG_0500.MOV

The company on eBay I bought it from. The username is bmwracing_6. They are Turbo Lab parts.

I’ve read your posts about your turbo specs so I knew I couldn’t go wrong!

Had to change things up a bit when my used Hx35 showed up rusted as **** and the wastegate diagram was toast. Was going to be a 62/64/12. Everything new now. 62/67/12. Will be assembling tomorrow and hopefully installing it.
