Gonna revive this one. I checked the compression on all cylinders and they all look good. The turbo was definitely the culprit and I found the impeller had a little too much play in and the seals were bad. FERM you were right, like usual! So I have the car semi torn apart. The glow plugs looked...

Originally I did'nt understand what was going on with the runaway, but I've read up on all of it for the most part. Problem I cant figure is why when I turn my key off, the car turns off immediately. I did park it. I pulled the air intake off and it has a small drip of oil right at the clamp...

I need help fellas. I recently purchased an 01 TDI with 214k on it as a beater car to drive to work and stack miles up on. Well I put about 5k miles on it when the oil dummy light came on. I thought maybe with higher miles it was eating a bit and didnt think much of it until I went to add some...

Yeah this is really an older thread and I made the haul with zero issues. I just got excited about the new trailer and had to put it somewhere! As far as the DOT goes tho I suppose they have a job to do and I'm sure there is a time and place them. Screwing with the little guy or making...

Got a new trailer today! 2006 24' Load Max. Pretty excited about it. Great shape and now i can quit borrowing my buddies! Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

That would make sense as to why I didnt notice it helping, cause it wasn't! Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

It was mike, and it im sure it helped some as well. But when I got some boost built up down shifting with the manual button, thats what really helped Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

Hauled another load! Picked up this nice grass hay near Williams Fork Reservoir then hauled it over Berthoud Pass and down the hill home. 7 ton this time, trailer is at 5,500. She went up over the pass no problem but coming down was a bit sketch! If i didnt have the turbo brake in my tow tune i...

Thanks BIGR I will remember that next time! Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

Ferm you think that it could be happening for a different reason? I know by hay hauling standards my load was pretty conservative, but it was a long haul and I didnt want to run too much of a risk over that much distance, whether it be with equipment or the law! Sent from my SM-G900P using...

The camera lens on my phone is cracked, sorry its blurry Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

Made it home, no problems really. Transmission got as high as 195 but only for a short time. For the most part it ran in the 180's or under and it was dang hot out 90-100. Never had a trooper or trkr fkr bat an eye at me. I did bang the back roads from Kearney NE to Goodland KS but the rest was...

I did nothing to the tranny cooler except use a small piece of house flashing and put it inside the bumper hoping to help keep air going up into the cooler rather than underneath. My guess is that it has little to no effect, but I dont think it can hurt. I loaded up and hit the scale. I have...

I have not. Its held beteen 138 and 155 dang near the whole trip. Pretty happy. We will se what she has to say when I anchor her down on the way home! Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

Running unloaded now through nebraska from the downhill to here I havent seen a tranny temp over 167. I also fabricated up a little piece of flashing in the bumper hoping it would push more air up to the cooler. Not sure if its the flush or both but I think its running about 20-30° under what...

Mike, if I need to supplement something to get the fluid level up a bit what should I use. I dont think I am going to be able to find a TES equivalent during this trip. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

Forgot to tell you guys. After I got the truck home I noticed that the GM Tech moved the TCM and mounted it to the top of my fuse box cover. Its really isnt a bad spot and I cant seem to foresee any issues with it right off. I would post a pic but my phone camera is broke. Sent from my SM-G900P...
