Overheating temperature, not noticing black smoke, need to check. Can I check boost with my scanner? What should I see?

OK, finally got the hose off. The turbo is spinning, I can hear it, but the truck has no power and is overheating. The blades look OK, and it spins freely and smoothly. However, the wastegate control looks badly rusted. Could this be the problem? It looks really corroded, do I have a chance...

OK, got to work on it this weekend, first had to replace a leaky radiator. As part of the process to disassemble most of the front end to get to the radiator, I had to remove the air box. When I opened it up, found something I had never seen before. Take a look at the picture f the air...

P0299 Turbo/Super Charger Underboost

Will do, thank you

I will be doing some inspection this weekend. Stock motor, new injectors, rebuilt pump, leaky radiator (to be replaced this weekend), rebuilt trans, and other basic repairs.

Hello, I have recently been having turbo issues. It works for a while and then stops. A few days later it is working again. This has happened several times. Is it likely time for a new turbo? If so, what is a reasonably priced solution? 2006 5.9 Cummins with automatic trans with 360K miles...

OK, thanks

going to do that next

I will go have the tires rebalanced. Dropping the front driveshaft this weekend to check it and will check fluid level in the transfer case

Already installed a rebuilt fuel pump with a new actuator and new injectors

Feels like it is only at highway speeds and only sometimes. Sometimes I think it is just the pavement, but I know that isn't the case. Need to characterize whether I am going uphill or down, adding power or coasting

feels like it is coming from the back half of the truck though

Ball joints and rod ends replaced and well greased. Will recheck ball joints. Tires are a possibility, will have to have them checked.

It is a 1 piece. No carrier

Now that I have my injector issue resolved, I am getting a vibration at highway speeds, 65-70. It feels a little like driving over the rumble strip, but not quite that bad. I dropped the rear driveshaft and both u-joints are OK. The front driveshaft was replaced a couple of years ago, and I...

Success! I was able to replace 5 of the 6 injectors. The truck now starts and runs like a new truck. I am simply not spry enough to get to that back injector. I think I will order a new line and just cut it flush with the connector pipe, then I can use a socket to get it out. Thank you...

On every one so far I had to hold onto the 24mm nut, I am wondering if maybe they were a little loose

Reaching it and keeping the wrenches on. I have the 24mm special flair wrench from Geno's Garage to hold the tube and a Gearwrench flex-flare-nut wrench on the line. I just can't get the 19mm flare nut wrench to stay on, and I don't think I can get the 19 mm flare socket on there. There must...

Well, I am deep into it.... Haven't been this filthy in years. I have the first five lines and tubes off, but I just can't see hw to get to #6. It is just way back there. I have removed the lift hook, needed to do that to remove #5. Any ideas or shall I skip it? Hate to do that.... but it...
