Finally got it purged of air. Took about 20 minutes of idling.

So finally got the motor all together along and it runs great or so I thought. Letting the car idle and bleeding the cooling system. Fans kicked on around 210 (normal) but the car would not cool down. Temp stayed at 210 and I noticed the coolant level in the bleeder container (plastic funnel...

Got the call from the dealership today. EGR cooler hose is leaking. They are going to replace the heater hoses while they are in there as well. Cost of the repair floored me. 3k parts and labor and that was them giving me a deal.

The house is about 25 years old and some of the wiring has been pretty suspect.

I run the Victron smart shunt and it works great. Connected to a power queen 300AH battery. I went with the Power Max 100amp charger but a few warnings. It will pull a ton of amps if the charge is low on the battery and can trip your home breaker where the trailer is plugged into. Secondly, it...

Go with the most AH you can fit in your battery compartment. Also make sure your charger is lithium compatible.

Glad you got it figured out. I trust OEM sensors from a junkyard over any aftermarket from an auto parts store. They due tend to gunk up sometimes and will need to be cleaned with parts cleaner and manually open and close the valve. Just dealt with this yesterday. Car would only idle a 2K...

Always try to dune with someone if possible. I many times have done a solo cruise to olds or comp. I always stick to sand highway or very well traveled roads so the potential to have help if needed is greater.

Another vote for a Lithium battery. I bought a 300AH version as I only had room for a single battery. I paired that with a large charger (100Amp) and they work great together. I used the below brands...

If your in a pinch, I have a spare I could send to you

They have a water truck driving on the flats spraying water. I would assume its to keep the dust down but yea it does create a nasty muddy mess on cars and trucks driving through

Anyway to watch it if I don’t have FB?

What happened?

It’s a 2011. I can’t get to it as it seems to be behind the turbo. Not sure how to get to it.

Heater hose fitting on the duramax and grenaded a Honda block.

Honda is always a solid option. Not sure if anyone services or builds short stars

Work in progress already

Found the problem

Talking with my buddy, I think I know what happened. I had a boost leak and it was causing a boost spike which would engage the over boost cutoff which was set to 17.6lbs which I think the motor did not like. Going to replace both gaskets and lower the boost to 12lbs. Stay tuned for pictures...
