Recent Pyro install

[JPereira]

I recently installed guages:

transmission Temp, Boost and EGT



After install I am hearing a whine or whistle, not sure how I should state it. It seems to appear at or above 10 lbs of boost. I am assuming it is a leak somewhere but cannot determine how to find it. I cannot hear anything if I give it throttle while in park.



I thought it may be leaking near the pyro but there are no signs of leaking.



This is my first diesel so I am learning as I go.



4. 5 HO QC LB



Autometer Phantoms Installed the pyro on the top of the manifold where geno's recomended. All of the guages appear to be working well. Just the whine I need to determine the cause.



Any help is appreciated. .



Thanks Jeff

All better. I am not sure which section was leaking but I removed the 3 sections between air box and Turbo and the connection from Turbo going to intercooler and reinstalled them and noise is gone.



I can not tell any difference in how these are presently tightened now than 30 minutes ago but it did the trick. .

I'm just guessing here, but I think you have a leak in your boost gage line most likely caused by a loose or poorly fitting connection on the back of the gage. I am also guessing you have pillar mounted gages. That would be the first place I would check.



You will not develop boost revving up the engine while parked. (I know that cuz I thought my gage was defective after installling it )



That would be the first thing I would check.

(I really need to learn to type faster!)



Glad everything is OK.

What is your transmission temp reading when crusing around town? Thanks, doc

Right around 150... The outside temps have not been that hot 70-80. How about yours?
