the turbo 5.3 died

Start pulling plugs see if you have oil on a particular cylinder causing a miss and maybe help locate the smoking from yesterday

+1 First thing you should do is pull the spark plugs and check them all. Also check all the wires. Check all the easy simple stuff first. Any codes?

Ses light is flashing, didn't get much done before the rain moved in. Got a pro charged vett I've got to finish working on before I can work on my truck anymore.

Ran a compression check and I've got 140 on 7 holes and 128 on 1 hole. Plugs look a lil black.




Mosquitoes were tearing me apart so I had to go in, gonna dig deeper tomorrow.

Yea they're really black. How rich is it at idle? Did you check the turbo to see if it was burning oil?

[jansen]

Turbo looks good. Gonna hook up the HPtuners tomorrow, put new plugs in and see what codes it throws.

[o2camaross]

Good idea. I think you should be running br7ef's

[jansen]

Running tr6 right now, what's the difference?

[o2camaross]

Just a step colder and non-projected. But slap some plugs in and scan that thing. I don't see how you could've hurt it on 10psi unless your tune was off

Update , on every start up the truck struggles to idle and blows blueish black smoke everywhere . You can rev it up and it will quit smoking and clear up. But as soon as you kill it and start it back up it does the same thing.
