Went to go see my diff guy today...doesn't sound good. I think I have to have both front and rear diffs gone through.
Not going to be cheap...but I trust this guy, he's passionate about what he does, and has done work for me on other projects. Never a problem with his work.
But now I have to make a decision is I'm going to stay with the 4.10's or go with 3.54's. I already have a set of Dana 70 3.54 gears that I picked up super cheap...they were removed from an original truck back in 1992 when the owner wanted 4.10's instead of the 3.54's for pulling his 5th wheel.
So since I needed to make a decision on what gears I want, I thought I'd toss on my HX35 this evening. I wanted to see how my EGT's and fuel mileage might be effected by the 12cm exhaust housing and my PS intercooler, and the 4.10's.
Everything went well until I fired it up and went for a drive. The turbo sounds like it has a very tinny whine coming from somewhere. And when I got out on the road it will not build any boost. I think once I saw about 1-2lbs...that's it!
I initial just had the waste gate wired shut. But then second guessed myself and thought maybe my problem was that I had wired it in the open position. SO I removed the wire and re-installed the wastegate actuator. Went for another drive and same problem, nothing changed.
I have been reading threads on HX35's and could not come up with anything like my problem. Any idea of what the problem might be?
Guess my turbo rebuilding skills still need a little work.
