north 35 looks good...am outta here gps says 215 miles...will call you when mobile....they are closed now...

we might not like the answer...but IF it is serious I'd rather have Dave in Corsicana work on it...and they will deal in prices...!

I don't think "waiting" for it to break is a plausible solution...I don't like it....:mad: I don;t think breaking down on a load is good for me or Load1 in any way or form....once this rush hour is over i am off to see Dave the tech over yonder...

that fits "someone" in this thread....:cool:

since it didn't cost me for a diagnostic..seriously considering Berry Dodge where I've had work done...in Corsicana Tx about 240 miles up the road....2nd opinion...:confused:

Good luck on getting an agreement out of Greg...in 8 yrs I've had 2 partial and a so so agreement...*LOL*...

Hey last carrier almost 4 years...he's had all that in just over one.....I get your point tho....:D

I may not be hearing a leak..I was describing a sound to type.. so chain of events... I get up to speed and movin along.....the turbo builds too much pressure because the wastegate isn't opening fast enough? and the engine thus makes a noise....then the wastegate opens slowly to release said...

well it is a slow build up till full peak noise...then 3-4 and it slowly subsides....

And you had to start another thread for that? Funny...you said that about the last 2 owners ya drove for and the last carrier....:cool:

sounds like in the engine area... sorry went for a nap....

is there some kind of valve on the exhaust that might be opening too slowly and it builds up too much pressure?

After....when I get up to speed 50-65 doesn't matter...takes a few minutes and THEN it starts to build....stays that 3-4 mins and fades away... PS..I've also tried a slow acceleration on the on ramp and also normal ...doesn't matter...

hmm...a loud drone...say a hole in the manifold exhaust type sound?....Loud...it starts off normal and a few minutes on the highway the noise builds up to the loudest and stays that way for the 3-4 minutes and dies right back to normal.. hanger bearing and D shaft "looked" to be good...Fr. wheel...

Yep....two techs took a joy ride....best guess is somewhere in the drive train...maybe harmonic balancer is going....to the tranny not functioning properly....so who knows...beats me... funny, the tech said when it breaks please email him and let him know the details...*LOL*....he has been...

Not to worry Dennis...I have a couple more jars should we meet up on this tour... NOW for my sprinter problem.... The tech has NOT clue...so I guess, ride it till it breaks...I did manage a tranny and rear end service however...I needed it done anyhow and I avoided the $99 diagnostic fee by...

I just had Cherrios and pickles...:eek: breakfast of champions..:D

From one of the comments on that page...

I don't think the extra length would have hampered his ability to set this up this way...it is akin to having a 24' box on a single axle....and it is all opinion...that says it all right there... and he's still got a sweet set-up....:D

Once it gets up to highway speed..it does its temper tantrum for about 3-4 minutes....real loud noise then it dies off and have no problems..lots of speed, no lack of acceleration even goes into overdrive on hills just fine...no smell of exhaust or fuel fumes in cab....
