Thanks. It was good meeting you as well and putting faces to names.Good meeting you and Lee last week! Truck is killer in person
I've known McGuire for years and his dad Jimmy. I did meet cruiserMatt, he's a great guy. He shattered his bell housing but replaced it at camp then went on to the Rubicon like it was nothing. Wish you had made it out Johnny.If you met McGuire, then you probably met @cruisermatt !!
Crazy that the guy rolled Goss. I'm sure he'll fix it up though. Pics look killer Mike.
The black buildup on the exhaust wrap could be an indication of an exhaust leak. I’d unwrap it and check it out. The V-band on the turbo looks black with soot also.Ok diesel gurus, need advice. While towing the trailer uphill in Colorado, i was cut off where i lost momentum and had to pull over. When i pulled over, temps hit nearly 270 for a few minutes before dropping back down.
The rig did ok for the rest of the trip considering the elevation. On the way back to Texas, I noticed i can't get boost past 20psi and it would smoke a lot.
Now i assume its just a boost leak, but could that temp spike have caused any other damage?
I just took this pic after trying to get it to go passed 20psi. Couldn't do it without smoking out the town.
Give me your thoughts.

Yea, definitely have an exhaust leak. After I posted up, i turned it on and revved the engine, you can see it coming out the gaskets. I'm just hoping that's all that is.The black buildup on the exhaust wrap could be an indication of an exhaust leak. I’d unwrap it and check it out. The V-band on the turbo looks black with soot also.
Just replaced the air filter on the way back with another K&N of the same model. No sign of collapse, was just really gunked up.My guess is your lacking enough air to help burn the fuel. Could be that you need a bigger air inlet or you have a leak somewhere. Does your air filter have any signs of collapsing in on itself?
