Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Pop!!!!!..........hissssssssssssssss

[Cowboy Medic]

Was over in LaCrosse, WI the last few days riding with Tri-State ambulance. Figure there must be a few TDR members around cause I was heading down 35 from Holmen and came up on a little S-10 all decked out with the ground effects and other low-rider crap and I get to noticing the widened out wheel wells and racing slicks. So we are at this light and I rev the motor a bit just to see if he would play, he smiles and motions me over to a parking lot. I follow and he gets out and walks over, says he won't race me. Sees the TDR stickers on my window and says he has already learned his lesson from the other guys in town. I just chuckled. So I head out of town cruising along on I-90 and heading uphill coming off the Mississippi and all of a sudden I hear a loud pop and then a huge hissing sound. Look at my gauges and boost had been about 24lbs or so and now is 6lbs. Pull over and sure enough one of my clamps must have been loose, thankfully no holes, put it back on and tightened it down. Ran fine the rest of the way home. Just wanted to share cause I got a kick out of the guy. If any of you LaCrosse area guys read this I will be back again for a ride along with Tri-State on September 19th, send me a message and maybe we could hook up for a little bit of BS'ing about trucks.

You're in Amianthus country and he has probably learned them about diesel performance.



Give Amianthus a PM and let him know your in the area. He probably knows Tri-State very well, too.
