    P0052 - 5.7 - heater circuit high - new sensors

    Just FYI for anyone that runs across this issue, one possibility (in my very particular case), was the original tuner turned off both oxygen sensors on bank 2. With them turned off, there is no need to heat them and hence started my issues. Instead of lugging around my cumbersome laptop, last...

    P0052 - 5.7 - heater circuit high - new sensors

    D a m n, this sounds like a problem I have been having for a couple of years (looking at old data logs) but only recently noticed and started to tackle - truck has a SRT 392 with small cam (rough idle and rich fuel due to off-road y masked the fact that there was a problem), I didn't notice...

    5th Gen 1500 Transmission swap in a 4th Gen 1500

    V6s come with the 845. If you’re trying to save money, my vote still goes for LKQ - they come with a warranty and you can purchase extended warranties.

    5th Gen 1500 Transmission swap in a 4th Gen 1500

    Unless you're pushing the limits of the 8HP70, instead of a rebuild, I would grab a used 8HP70 from LKQ online. You or your mechanic would pull the TCM from your shuddering transmission and put that in the unit received from LKQ, then simply R&I the transmission. There should be a...

    392 Swap - High Oil Temps - What Would You Do?

    When checking levels, the dipstick was removed, sitting around 12" out of the tube. It was then pulled, wiped, and re-inserted.

    392 Swap - High Oil Temps - What Would You Do?

    My truck does not have active grill shutters but if I did, that definitely would be a contributing factor. I had to switch from the slatted sport grille to the open honeycomb design and that did wonders as well.

    392 Swap - High Oil Temps - What Would You Do?

    I already admitted to overthinking this back in post #116. If they could provide the volume fluctuation, I would re-evaluate my decision, but they basically told me to figure it out and as previously stated, that turned me off of their product. I am definitely not looking to further complicate...

    392 Swap - High Oil Temps - What Would You Do?

    I’m quite familiar. If the piston bottoms out, that is bad, that means it is hydraulically locked, they explain that in the instructions, page (2) last paragraph of accusump fundamentals. They also state that the precharge of air pressure is set at 7-10#. Do you still not think the volume is...

    392 Swap - High Oil Temps - What Would You Do?

    The volume fluctuates, the other side of the piston is the air spring which pushes the oil out and you have to pre-charge it with air. That side compresses.

    392 Swap - High Oil Temps - What Would You Do?

    I’m good with the actuation, I am worried about the fluctuation of oil volume in the active system. They wouldn’t give me numbers on how much the volume would swing at various pressures (50-70# range), just told me it’s probably online and to look for it. If you set your system capacity at idle...

    392 Swap - High Oil Temps - What Would You Do?

    I had stated that the entire oil cooler would drain back to the pan and that the level would be higher than it should be. If someone followed that advice with a similar setup and their anti-drain back valve was functioning correctly, they could be overfilling the system. When deciding on check...

    392 Swap - High Oil Temps - What Would You Do?

    Recently I have been doing more research into a check valve or accusump system to help keep the oil cooler full under cold starts so I can reduce the amount of time until full oil pressure is achieved minimizing wear and I just wanted to clarify something about this quoted statement -...

    If You’ve Tried Everything Diagnosing Your Suspension’s Squeak and Still Can’t Figure It Out, Try This

    I used those on my stock diff, they were awesome (Valvoline syn 75w-140) but they don’t make them for the 85w-140 unfortunately, or at least none I could find. I’m running a TrueTrac which they don’t recommend synthetic. It’s probably outdated guidance as diff design is very old but my opinion...

    If You’ve Tried Everything Diagnosing Your Suspension’s Squeak and Still Can’t Figure It Out, Try This

    I have been running down everything on my suspension for well over a year. I was hearing what sounded like a little chirp, convinced it was a metal-on-metal squeak, whenever I would go over bumps in the road. It was driving me nuts. I had checked sway bars, shocks, shock bushings, spring...

    Whining/Growl Noise - Differential/Wheel-Bearing/Transmission (output shaft)

    Yes sir, TrueTrac. I will have to do more research on the mineral vs synthetic, I found an old BITOG thread with good information. I’m sure they were fearing synthetics with friction modifiers and reducing bias ratio. We’ll see which way I’m swayed after more research.
