You are talking about the ground wire right behind the cluster right??

now everything has gone back to work. When I get home I will pull it back apart and check that stuff.

All the gauges worked fine yesterday. Started the truck this morning and the rpm gauge doesn’t work and the fuel gauge is working but it is working upside down. The rpm will wiggle a little bit when You turn the key on but it doesn’t swing like it is supposed to. The park light and the check engine lightning bolt didn’t come on either for a few minutes then they finally came on. The cruise control works thoe and you can idle the motor up and down with the cruise control buttons? You guys think the cluster is starting to fail or is there something else I can check?

Great thanks for the info. Got it out and fixed. Does anybody now what the diffrence is in the two eup’s 313gc5230mx and the 313gc5230m. Becuase myne calls for the mx and i had body give me one with out the X. He had on the shelf and the metal fuel line wouldn’t tighten on the eup. It was like the compression fitting was wrong on the metal line?

Quick question on this topic. Just had a bolt break off what is the assist way to get it out can I weld a washer and nut to it because i suck with a drill and it was number 5 this happened to

No the gaskets are currently not Ieaking. I will try that Joey as always I appreciate it. And I will let you now how it goes

I haven’t done anything to stop it they have been leaking since I have owned the truck the last 3 years. Was just trying to figure out how to fix it. Yeah the steel ones pai make are like $12 but Mack wants $50 a piece for the S. S. Ones.

I read on here that those bolts go into the push rod galley. Trying to figure out how to fix it and is it worth paying for the high dollar stainless studs or not?

Yeah I hate when people ask questions but they never post what fixed the problem. The muffler I put on it I don’t like it has a flat plate in the middle of it that the exhaust has to go around. I need to find something different.

I need one like that with a 44” body 4” inlet 5” outlet. The one I put on here last night has a flat plate in the middle of it. You can tell it can’t breathe very good.

No it didn’t I have hunted this problem but I finally found what it was today. The muffler had blown apart and the baffle had shot perfectly straight up was stuck In the exhaust tip. So the whistle noise that i thought was a turbo leak is were the exhaust was passing thru the little holes on the baffle. Not sure what was causing the poof noise but it sure sounded 100%!better after putting a new muffler on it. We will see how it does Tomorrow.

I think I found it this the hose coming off the back of the compressor going to the intake. Only bad part is I am sitting in a parking lot loaded with asphalt. So I hope it holds up till I get in

No I don’t have a wastegate

Checked the exhaust side and rechecked the inlet side of the turbo tonight the fins look good and there is no oil around it

It is cv 713 yeah I am going to figure out how to pressure test it with the smoke. But what ever happened yesterday happened all at one time I heard the pop and after that I had the boost problem.also when it pops you get puff of black smoke out the exhaust. But also the primary filter is only half full of fuel isn’t that supposed to completely full all the time? I also have replaced the fuel lines from the tank to the filter and the filter to the pump.
