Got a cm2250 with 791k on it
Truck was deleted at 715k ish
All “seemed” to be well until I noticed my truck all of a sudden trying to go over 40 psi with a lack of power
I always keep it at 20 psi the lowest I can safely keep with the flow of traffic.
(Now realizing that this was a problem)
Inspected my turbo found that the vgt selector shaft would not move to the closed side
When purchasing a rebuilt turbo and trying to figure out the proper sizing we should go with
I put in a call to a well respected shop owner most have heard about and we found out that my 400st rated for max 450hp/1650ft/lb engine cpl 3490 had a software tune for a 3491 cpl truck turned up to 500hp 1850 torque and was listed in insite as 484 hp
So now I’m going to have the truck retuned go over all of the work that was done to have it deleted including hollowing out the cans and perform an egr tune up.
My questions are
When cleaning the intake manifold and egr cross over tube what products should I use?
Also I’m sure my business partner (my truck) has sustained some abuse these last miles what are some of the things I can do to check and ensure the condition of my engine ?
I’m hoping too much damage wasn’t done and I can still take this engine to atleast a million miles it currently has about 21k ish hours
Thanks in advance
