OK well kind of an electronics question I hope one of you guys can answer for me. Can anyone explain how a multimeter/k type thermocouple setup works exactly? Now I have been doing a lot of reading on how thermocouples work because I was concerned that I wasn't properly using mine. Now from...

Something I was wondering as well.

Was the system flushed (evaporator, lines, condenser)? If not, you really don't have a great idea of how much oil remains in the system, it gets distributed unevenly throughout, so you can only estimate based off what the TSRM tells you. If you have flushed the system, you just need to add the...

Yeah, good idea. You will have to add all the amounts together though if you are starting from a dry system, they don't give you a full system oil quantity.

Fill it through the suction port as you rotate the clutch. Make sure you are adding the proper amount of oil, if you put too much it is difficult to adjust the amount later, and damaging if you don't put enough.

Ya it will come out of either ports, just turn it over and rotate the clutch around until the oil stops dripping out.

Not sure which bolts you are referring to. You just need to open the ports and turn it upside down, then rotate the shaft to drain the oil. Not sure if yours came with a plate on top or what, but when I got mine (believe it was a reman) it just back a blockoff plate on top, and I had to transfer...

You need to measure the crank and the rod, it is not necessarily just the crank that is out of spec.

Been researching this a bit and I still can't figure out how you came to the conclusion that there is not enough residence time for air through the radiator when using the Tundra clutch. There's a few things I don't understand. -First of all, I can't see how residence time of air through the...

Dont even try replacing it with the turbo on. I am assuming you are talking about the gasket between the oil lines and the turbo, not the block. Pull the turbo and use an OEM gasket, I always put a very very thin coating of Right Stuff gasket maker on both sides of the gasket and torque to...

Jack Stack BBQ in Kansas City, or Famous Daves in Kansas City (though it is more of a chain)...mmm never had beef ribs that good in my life:yumyum: EDIT: Just saw your blog, looks like you already hit them up!

Looks good man nice work!

Care to explain?

How do I narrow down where on the low side my restriction is? At this point it seems like a TXV issue, but is there any way to know for sure it is a TXV issue? I really don't want to go in and change it yet again only to find that wasn't the issue. As far as having an airflow issue, the only...

You say it is OBVIOUS that you are measuring in MM. If you are measuring in MM your clearances are around 0.0001" which is much smaller than a piece of plastigauge can measure. I think the lack of replies has more to do with your lack of detail and extremely hard to read posts (lack of grammar...

Also, what about my high side pressures? Max allowable high side pressure is 213 PSI at 95 degree ambient, mine at time soars far above that.

I was always under the impression that the ECU would monitor in intake air volume and use that to verify the EGR was in fact operating. It just seems odd that they would have no way to know if it was actually working, when having it not working could cause engine damage.

I haven't seen the low side go into a vacuum yet, but it gets close. Figuring out the pressures confuses, me, for instance, common sense would make me want to think a blocked TXV would cause low low side and high high side, but that isn't the case. So if you are saying I have a restriction in...

What part of the system could the blockage be/how exactly can I find it? The TXV is aftermarket, though it looked and fit identical to OEM in every aspect. I am leaning more toward blockage as I have had more than one TXV in the system when seeing the oddly low low side pressures.

Yeah, it actually would drop lower than that if I raised the RPM's enough after idle. I don't know whats wrong, any insight would be great.
