Last minute panic

Postby colley on Wed Apr 28, 2010 8:38 pm

yesterday myself and Jason finished off all the jobs on my truck before bala :D
Well today i went to drop my daughter to pre school and could here a high pitch whistle every time i booted it :? This was the first time i had driven it since i fitted the de cat pipe and cleaned out all the pipes, intercooler and full service.
I was expecting a little mph after doing all those jobs but it felt slower than my old 2.0 :? The panic began so i got in my work clothes and started to investigate the problem checking the obvious things like intercooler pipes and exhaust for leaks but found nothing :twisted:
Then my beautiful wife came along and said the noise sounds like its coming from the snorkel :roll: So i pulled off the snorkel top that i fitted the day before with silicone to find that i had used to much silicone and there was a hole the size of a 2p cone at the top of the snorkel pipe and it was only sucking through that :oops: :oops:
I then sorted out the problem and went for another drive lets just say it put a :mrgreen: on my face as it pulled very strong :D
If you have a 2.8 i would highly recommend de catting it as the difference with my truck is amazing revving alot free er :D

I then went down to a car park near me to check the articulation on the back off my truck as i fitted +2 spacers and some new rough country shocks that was meant to be +2 but when measuring them next to my old shocks they was more like +3 but my old shocks was badly worn.
Here are a few pics

I still had more travel in the shocks on those pitchers and i am a bit worried about losing a coil spring.

I bet you puckered up quick. Had a similar sensation after doing 3 jobs at once, never know where to look first.
