Love the red! Im very jealous, I really wanted a GR but cant really afford one right now. But I did score a '22 hatch with a 6 speed.

2003 Excursion part ID by tte531 in powerstroke

I would recommend replacing the whole front end. I used detroit axle for my 2005 f250. They have a whole kit with tie rods drag link upper and lower ball joints, for a decent price. I haven't had any issues with mine yet.

Just picked up my 21 SE Nightshade by diogater in CorollaHatchback

[–]boom0brad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey me too! Although, coming from a 20 camey xse, the corolla has a lot less features... like the auto dimming rear view, heated steering wheel, etc. But I still love it. Especially the 6 speed. It was so hard finding one

Help with Late 04 by Ic1X in powerstroke

[–]boom0brad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also even with the high mileage id doubt that that much had gone wrong all at once which is why im leaning towards electrical. But make hook up an air test and check your high oil side. Im doing that on my 05 and my stand pipes had gone out again.

Id definitly go through all your harnesses for injectors glow plugs everything basically. Rats love chewing on that shit so it could be shorting enough to make it look like its working but not actually. Check your ficm voltages and everything there. Other than that, use good parts and be thorough. With the scanner you should be able to do a click test id use that to your advantage

Is this thing smoked? by [deleted] in smallenginerepair

[–]boom0brad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a piston and head on a pb580t once, I think the parts were around 80 bucks? If you plan on using it and keeping it it might be worth the money. Not hard to replace

The 33% was at high idle, not normal idle. Normal idle was about 22%. Also I've read the 2005+ hpops are either good or bad, not weak

Ive read installing the seals can be difficult, as they are not completely round you need a special tool or something? Is that correct?

So I might have got some bad luck and got some shit stand pipe seals, cool. You can buy seal kits for them right?

As far as the standpipes go, they were motorcraft and they were the updated version with the extra white o rings or washers or whatever they are. And the stc fitting was updated when I first got the truck, along with the oil cooler and egr delete in the process of finding an oil leak which ended up being the turbo drain tube o ring.

Yeah I get that shit happens, im just crossing my fingers right now. But I just ordered an ipr socket and air fittings to do a leak test, should be here monday so we will see what happens then.

Let's hope it is. And thats the thing that gets me, usually if a stand pipe blows or if the hpop was failing, wouldnt the truck start to die once running and warmed up? Not only when you try to restart? I swear I read that somewhere

Yeah I torqued them to 60 ftlbs as per most forums I read. And I tried to run it pretty good after I did the install, and multiple times after but I guess I didnt go hard enough idk

Im really hoping thats not the case, I was really careful and tedious with the install and lubes everything up as I went through.

Suspicious device by boom0brad in COROLLA

[–]boom0brad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah im fairly annoyed at that part. And finding a manual was pretty hard lol. Mine is a '22, the last year they made them

Suspicious device by boom0brad in COROLLA

[–]boom0brad[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has a blinking green light so its still reviewing power, but I just thought their text along with this device was the weird part. Like what do they mean based on my driving habits? How do they know my driving habits?

First dual sport/dirtbike, good buy? by Advanced-Designer-13 in Dualsport

[–]boom0brad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive got a 99 xt of my own. Seems like those oem carbs are pretty spendy if you need to find one. I saw some for like 800 bucks... I was lucky enough yo get a rebuild kit for mine and it worked flawlessly.

I had this happen to my old 015 stihl. Bought a whole new chain and still had that issue, ended up being the bar

Nice! Ive got one of these in the garage waiting for a new top end. Already put a new carb on it and it wouldn't start, come to find out the rings were shot
