Tim, No problem, I did read your whole other thread before I had bougth mine and that was one of the deciding factors. I'm cool and i'll leave this be. I know that I'm still somewhat on edge for the simple reason that no one would take my word about my truck being right. Enough said.
Seems to me that it takes two to tango, so if there's jabs being taken it comes from both sides. I believe that I am still only telling the facts based on my truck and where I'm headed with it.
Maybe we both took each other the wrong way. I was not inferring that this was not an open forum, I think I chose the wrong wording or it was taken the wrong way. If it wasn't clear what I meant was that why should someone have to PM Tim? Why can't this info just be posted here for all to see? I...
There were no insults intended, as a matter of fact I think it is the other way around, someone calls me out, I'm the one insulted. So where are all these facts on the turbo that is all I want to know, I just want to see whatever there is posted.
What I'd like to see is the results of this extensive testing here on the forum. I'd like to see this info first hand on a open forum, I don't need to PM anyone. What second hand info are you talking about Doc?
WOW, how many times do I have to say it, THERE IS NO PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK, plain and simple. The fact is the turbo was just not a match for my truck, need I say anymore.
Since when was this turbo ever listed as a so called hot-rod part? Every other place that I buy parts from will take a return back if said part does not work as described. It seems that I am having to defend myself here and I'm glad I had another member look at my truck, thanks Kenny. Yes I did...
Just to let everyone know that the IP I got was straight from Stanadyne and was the latest and greatest new in the box. If I remember correctly it is a DS4 5521.
that's all pre turbo and believe it or not that is a pretty good grade on that hill. Don't forget I also have an EZ-dumper in there and 33" bfg mud terrains on the truck. As I've said before I rarely tow with the truck, as a matter of fact I've only towed once with it. I drive that hill every...
This is another video I took at the same place as the first but with the GM5 and the egt's don't rise nearly as fast or as much as the ATT. Yes I know the videos are not of the best quality but I am driving and trying to do this with my cell.

So what would it be, I've checked everything. Seems to me that there are a couple of other people with this turbo that also have or run higher than normal egt's.
Ya know I was thinking the same thing at first, that there was something just off with the engine or so but I spent countless hours and a fair amount of money trying to figure it out to only find that the truck is running quite well and it runs the same no matter what I've done. In all honesty...
Just want to give everyone an update and get you up to speed. I have since returned the ATT and have gotten a full refund from Walking J. After making sure that my truck was in proper running order I could not get the egt's to come down to a drivable level. I also had another member drive the...
So I put the GM5 back on and I see a definite decrease in EGT'S, I think they are still high for the GM5 but they are a lot better than with the ATT. I got a quick video of it this morning I will try to do better with it tomorrow. Sorry I haven't posted on this in a couple of days, I've been...
So what do you mean by "chewing up the slave cylinders"? Are they getting damaged or just blowing seals or? I would look at the input housing, shaft real good, pilot bearing and the nose of that shaft .
