WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Result Phil.

Today I removed the EGR's and flappy paddles from the 2.8 . Unfortunatley the 2 bolts holding the exhaust return pipe to the exhaust manifold snapped. Have left the stumps to soak in wd40 for a few days before I scratch me head on removal.

Mr gadget couldnt resist eh Phil :lol:

Oh exhaust bolts :oh yer:

just hate them, but to be fair on this motor they have behaved impeccably

Well actually it was yesterday but didn't get chance to post but yesterday (Saturday) me and andysd1 fitted new wheels with powerguard marshall AT tyres all round then set to work wiring in my roof lights which after some slight problem solving now all work andy has the phot's and video which i hope he will post soon??

Yes, but make sure you use half a tin :lol:

and specially make sure you spray it in AFTER the turbo :wink:

after the turbo :?:

me no understand :oops:

Dont spray it into the pipe leading to the turbo, but spray in the pipe after the turbo that leads into the air intake on the engine, its so the carb cleaner doesnt dry out your turbo bearings.

ahhhhhhh i see, :roll:

i am starting to like the sound of my turbo :roll:

Tis a nice sound

A 3" straight through pipe on a 2.8 with the fuel pump tweaked and bigger intercooler and a couple more psi out of the turbo, would go like stink, for and old lump

Repacked & adjusted front wheel bearings,serviced brake calipers & fitted new pads.

flippin eck Bernie the ole girl wont know whats hit her :lol:

Washed all the soapy stuff of the chevy's tyres from changing them yesterday...
...measured up the bumper to see if swb fronty A corners will fit so I can keep the chrome centre section when it gets sport wings,
and cleaned all the bird sh1t of sals purple glitterball! (will shoot the little git when I see the culprit...seems to be making a habit of using the n/s mirror as a dunny perch!!)

took my 2.2 dti to vauxhall for a code reading

see here for the good news and to give me any advice

2" body lift at the weekend, still got to work out something for the bumpers
