Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Turnbuckle installed .....wierd noises from underhood ??

[DieselMinded]

Just put the Turnbuckle on



thanks RNR for the tips



It was alot easer to just install it from the bottom



The TB is alot shorter than all the pics I saved of it I never got to use my spring the TB alone was long enough I just hooked it on the bar and on the plate that holds the WG and tightened it up enough to where it shouldnt come off to be sure I wire tied it to the WG actuator So I wont lose the TB if it comes loose.



Now for the drive it still has the turbo whisle but now I have a sort of whine @ high boost not sure what #'s Im getting no gauges yet but it whines kind of loud @ WOT when deaccelerating the whine quiets and then you can here the turbo whisle coming down ... warning if you run WOT then let off the accelerator all of a sudden the turbo will HUFF not sure if it hurts anything or not.



Id like to know if the whine sound is normal it wasnt there before the TB



On my first ride after a dead stop when I took off in 3x3 and went about 50 yards something caught my eye in the rear view... ... ... ... ... ... I looked back and... ... ... ... ... ..... BLACK SMOKE OUT THE YING YANG THE POOR CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO PULL OVER I DIDNT KNOW I WAS SMOKIN THEM I SWEAR ..... It never smoked like that before I got out of town and pulled over and checked my boots and intake and no leaks I was thinking to my self ... ... ... more boost should be less smoke not more IM CONFUSED HERE . . I got back in a WOT and hardly no smoke?????whats the deal???? I went 5x5 and WOT form a dead stop and after I got done going ditch from ditch and balling the tires in 1,2, and barking them in 3rd i seen minimal smoke behind me and smelt a little of my trany where it must of lost control of its bowels or something :-laf



I dont know why it smoked like it did and why it wont now????



It seams to smoke best in reverse WOT balling the tires she'll smoke good then I cant get much smoke in DRIVE.



Any help would be greatly apprisated



thanks

The change in pitch is normal. Mine sounds the same way when the boost gets up over 30psi. Keep in mind that the optimal range for your stock turbo is only 30-34 psi. Boost over that amount really doesn't help you any. The flutter sound you hear when you jump off the pedal at boost is refered to as "barking the turbo". Not something you want to do real often. I know you have heard this several times before, but get some gauges. You are asking for trouble.

Yea, you need to check out what kindof boost you got going on... . I was in a similar situation and found out that i was pumping almost 40 psi... ... . Real easy to start blowing gaskets... ... I backed mine off to 32lb @ WOT. I can see you will be needing that transmission real soon too..... The Power is addicting isnt it!!!!!!!!!

yeah income tax $$$ just got the OK from the miss'es to turn it to my trany upgrades... . almost like selling my soul ... . LOL



GAUGES ARE GETTING REALLY HIT HARD ITS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IM GAUGED!!!



I drive @ 2x2 for now I cant beleave people acctually drive 5x5 with a stock trany I can smell mine burning after WOT @ 5x5 for about 30 seconds and I only got 35,000 miles on her some people have guts thats for sure.



Im glad to hear the whine is normal



still dont know why it smoked like mad the first trip maybe I broke my boost systems perverbial cherry and now its OK... ... ... ... LOL
