no it's probably quieter inside the truck. i was just out for a walk and a newer Chevy truck drove past, and sounded like a turbo 4 cylinder. not the same engine at all, just sounds similar. 2010-ish bmw diesels other than that, give me simple efi with no can communications between modules...

i think there's one in my neighborhood i wasn't prepared for Chevy cobalt turbo noises from a truck

unless they're aluminum upgrades (n52 mickey mouse flange, anyone?)

that's easy, just go somewhere without people. the amazon rainforest maybe?

tekton, sunnex, capri, and duratech make up most of my tool collection, along with some harbor freight and craftsman sockets.

i dont think it would be too hard, just go live in the forest where you have no contact with anyone. you would have to find food for 30 days though

yes i understand that it cleans the ring lands, but if the rings are still free and able to seal just fine, then you don't really NEED to remove carbon. the engine will be fine either way. cars with bad design or bad maintenance will have more carbon, or the carbon will actually cause issues...

even supertech isn't bad, it's hot running engines, bad designs, or bad maintenance that cause carbon or sludge.

i like them because its easy to see anything that got caught in the filter. and as the cap and filter spin, the little pin should self align with the hole.

the crank is ok, the block is damaged iirc

on a non-common rail diesel you can loosen one injector line, start it, and then if the tick is gone it was that injector. it will run rough with loose injector lines though also if you only loosen the injector line slightly you can get it to inject less but still inject. then you can mess with...

on my Mitsubishi the transmission fluid runs through external cooler first, then the radiator tank cooler. so if the external cooler works too good the radiator will reheat the fluid I think. and my transmission wont lock the torque converter until it's warm plenty of Australians have 2-3...

ah egr is fixable in bmw, just not legally. the timing chain on the back of the engine is stupid though. the m57 is better because the chain is on the front.

if you're in the car (this lady wasn't so it doesn't apply) you can always just run the carjacker over. just a little bit, like a foot or something.

this is fine as long as the low side port isn't close to the compressor. if you do this you can feed liquid into the compressor (designed for gas) and break reed valves.

I have Lucas utf in my transfer case because it's the only non-gl5 gl4 rated oil I could find locally. I got the transfer case for $120 from a junkyard, ran gl5 in it for a year/4000 miles just to see if it was a usable transfer case. the gl5 came out with a dark sediment suspended in it that...

those pump gears look melted, like they were run without oil. they should be smooth on all sides (no scoring or grooves)

ok, go to Oreilly's or another parts website and look up oil gallery plug. most parts websites call it a galley plug. I call them oil galleys. the dictionary isn't always perfect and it's usually not written by mechanics or engineers. besides you knew what I was talking about so it's not the...

douglas is made by goodyear i think

the main bearing left the chat, he's just keeping the oil in the galleys so he has oil pressure. his old post explains better
