Happy Thursday!
Another day, another what are we up to post!
This ford came in with customer complaint of not wanting to build boost, pushing black smoke. Just lagging on power. Not something anyone wants to deal with to be honest!
First and foremost, scanning and diagnosing to determine what may be the cause.. that’s where we always like to start just to see what it’s going to hell is before the tear down begins!
Next step see if the turbo actuator is working as it should, it was STUCK after some TLC it did start to move as it would but did not fix the overall problem. So on to the next thing, which was a turbo itself! We installed a new turbo on this jewel, allowing all the functions and such to open and close as they should. Allowing it to properly build boost, command faster response to throttle position and no more pushing black smoke.
While it was here we also did a little maintenance, oil change, fuel filter change and check the air filter. Making sure the maintenance is kept up and keeping him going because if you know he’s a busy man!
If you are in the market for a turbo, a turbo actuator or anything diesel related we would be more than happy to help you! If it’s diagnostic or mechanical we are here for you every step of the way.
Let us know how we can help you on your next project or just general maintenance needs!
