Joey Mack Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Do you hear a loud squealing sound when you are pulling hard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmackchu613 Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 You know the sound when air leaks thru a small pin hole. I can hear that sound. But i cant figure out where its coming from all my pipes and clamps are new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Yes I do.. The O-ring at the elbow mounted to the turbo volute, is notorious for leaking, and even a new one can get cut during assembly.. Jojo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKS Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 With the truck at idle spray some starting fluid on your charge air connections and hoses and pipes.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 starting fluid ;; old school , didn't think that technic was allowed or used anymore. very light on the spray also. have to be cautious suggesting that type of test in todays world. too much or spray hitting hot exhaust will change purpose of test and fire extinguish test will take place. or inventory check on first aid kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Amen My Brotha' !! Unfortunatly what we know how to do, has been challenged by the fancy pants B.S. in recent years. as far as Mack go's... Volvo bought it to destroy it....... have you had the chance to train a new school guy on truck repair, or even driving one, in the last 10 years? I have..... It aint pretty, unless the guy Truly want's to learn... Just sayin'.. Jojo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSmackchu613 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Yes it is deleted truck. When old turbo was fine it use to run fine. Going to take it back to get a exhaust and boost leak check and VGT calibration checked. I tried myself to check for leak. I found exhaust leak but still cant find boost leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A place to start! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSmackchu613 Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 So my truck has been running fine for now. As far as black smoke problem. It is lot better not completly fixed. It still gives out black smoke but 1 or 2 sec between the gears. My EGR pressure sensor was bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
