you've got something bigger than stock in your truck, right? as I recall the sweet spot for the HX35 is around 31-33psi, more than that and a lot of heat is the result. my wastegate kept mine to 33-34 on my 12v and it ran real nice [until it didn't]

I'm still running the stock, original tired HX35. Yes, ~30 psi of boost is about max. Anything more than that it get toasty. Waste gate not working (stuck closed).

today is the day! dropped off the RAM last night to avon Dodge.

taking bets on the bS they feed back to me!


my clear customer complaints:
1) NYS inspection: will not set more than 8/10 emission monitors in 2500miles with no CEL, currently only has historic pending Regen freq code, no CEL.
2) exhaust manifold/gasket leak causing squealing/hissing and lack of boost, lack of exhaust brake function




i bet i get back:
will not pass inspection, monitors not set- need to drive more
truck fine no boost codes, that noise is normal



sadly i forgot i cleared the 7 codes it had in Denver and drove home with no tuner and no brake.  couldnt get any codes to set
it had in Denver:
P203F
P0234
P20E8
P20EE

bah

dealer call 1

asked if i want regular or HD inspection, says it will pass.  (no sticker from new glass, valid question- but i bet they didn't plug in yet to find out it wont pass- morons)

expressed concern about exhaust leak noises again. 
no parts avail for water pump recall that apparently can cause under hood fire lol 

[M4wdFab]

WOW

passed inspection

getting a new turbo and related gaskets under warranty NOV 27.

Internal non serviceable components blown.   

[mr.mindless]

you shouldn't need to have emissions monitors set to pass when >10,000#
my truck won't pass a plug in because it doesn't run monitors. I can only get a sticker because I'm emissions exempt. That requires a manual override of the inspection computer because my VIN doesn't show the correct weight class. Cab & Chassis problems. Bet your inspection shop was making the same mistake.

[M4wdFab]

my truck registered as RAM suburban, passenger plate.  no GVWR on registration. 


what does your title say for GVW? thats what the DMV inspection system should reference?



but cant you get an inspection without a plate or registration so how could it not just be by whats on the door? hmmm

[mr.mindless]

Oh, that may goof it up. you'd mentioned that, and I forgot. I think we've had this WHOLE conversation before. Except for that last part. That's a good point. I've always shown registration, not sure if that's required. I believe that new things I've picked up for out of state destinations that wear only a NY transit temp tag have had inspection stickers on them.

[M4wdFab]

well think of like salvage inspection, or if you let your registration lapse or expire, DMV requires a valid inspection before issuing registration.....

[wnyjpgy]

Just a side note, you can get a vehicle inspected without a registration. I have to do it with all of the wrecked cars I buy.

On the nys computer one of the first questions is, if the vehicle is registered.  If not, you can get it inspected off of the VIN alone.

It works the same way if they can't scan the registration on your window.

In your case Mike, that would be probably the best, since it would just come up diesel truck and not have to get plugged in regardless of what it's registered as.

[KingtheZJ]

I still don't understand the plug in vs not plug in issue.

In my experiences all my 3/4 ton trucks never had to be plugged in. Including the 2 gas trucks that had passenger plates (no GVW on reg) that "weighed" 6000.

[M4wdFab]

you paid 11 not 21$?

door jam GVW over 8500?

who knows, its a hopeless system run by oil change monkeys what could possibly go wrong

[mr.mindless]

oil change monkeys who have like 4 people in Albany they get to wait to talk to when things don't work right.

this unit dropped tonight at GVD for turbo replacement
