I’m going to reinstall my S&B CAI later today do you want me to snap a pic of the same location for comparison? I plan on getting a fabulous fab intake system with snorkel eventually…
Hey just wanted to know if anyone that follows this forum is going to Texas Raptor Rally? If so, did y’all reserve a camp site or do you think they will offer an area as part of the GA tickets? Also, I tend to over analyze my gear list so what are some essentials that y’all either needed last...
Just changed my oil last night, the rival skid plate with the access hatch and the ronin (well, knock off ronin, my original got trashed by the kids at Valvoline) made it damn easy to do..
That tech said that the airbox may not be seated properly, i don’t really appreciate how flimsy that closure mechanism is, i think if I can save up enough I will buy the fabulous fabrication air intake (snorkel and dual filters-one for each turbo) if there’s still a noise… shit upgraded turbos...
So I got to have it looked at by the “heavy line” tech at the dealership, took him for a drive and the noise was audible, he does admit it sounds unusual, but he was very adamant that if something was out of the ordinary, that it would throw a generic code “PZ297” or “PZ299” I can’t recall which...
Houston Tx ~300ft above sea level,
update related to diagnosis… dealership service manger just called me and asked if I was satisfied with maintenance yadayada I told him about what I really wanted them to look at and he said bring it on by in the morning, ask for me, I’ll go grab a tech from...
Just got back from the performance place, he looked under the hood while I rev’d it up but he noticed that my BOV was pretty loud and sensitive given that its stock. So either the diaphragm in the BOV went out, or it’s loud because it’s indicative of something else. Based on the hoses I’ve...
10-4, I even tried telling the service adviser that I’m a silver tier member lol… I’m goin to take it into a local shop that said they could take a look at it on Friday; no warranty (I’m at 31.5k so not a dealbreaker) and $185 diagnostic fee (which I would pay in under the table cash if the...
Hey thanks for starting this thread, dealership says they need at least 24hrs before they can do anything… to me that doesn’t make sense, just say “we’re backed up, you’d be better off bringing it in tomorrow “ there’s a mechanic shop that has ASE certified technicians and says they specialize...
While I am quite the novice on engines, especially turbocharged ones, if they performed an upper intake cleaning (see above services ie: “GDI”, would that not have had any interaction with the air intake and turbos that they wouldn’t have seen or heard anything? I think I need to take a video of...
Hey I really appreciate your insight, definitely going to order that!
last question, are there any unique sae or metric sizes that you’re aware of for the diff and transfer case (or any other maintenance)? I have mostly sae for larger sockets (1/2 - 1-1/4) and both sae (5/32-9/16) and metric (4...
Thank you for the heads up! I’m slowly getting more comfortable working on it. Started changing my own oil after I got the rival engine skid and a ronin oil plug. What resources did you use for the transfer case flush? Or you’re just a gearhead and can figure that stuff out? Also, after they...
Well I got it to the dealership, they were the only ones who could get to it today… but for “issues” such as the boost leak, they say they take 24-48 hrs to diagnose the issue.. so I will have to take it back to them on Tuesday to address that
