all right how's everybody doing I wanted to make this quick video because I'm getting about 16.7 my
ohmmeter average for the mpg but I'm hearing like a weird whistling noise inside the radio and when
I lower the window down and change his pitch so I think it's coming from outside and just coming
to the vents it's a pretty good gas mileage fill for a diesel but I should be getting closer to 20
let's listen to that I'm going he's gonna see what it is I don't know if you can hear that whistling
it sounds like it's coming from the passenger side floorboard area
I'm gonna roll the windows down it almost sounds like electrical noise but it's not
and it changes with the windows down so I believe
it's coming from one of the boots or maybe the turbo
well yeah I'll have to check that see what that is I don't think it's belts or anything I changed the
water pump the idler the belt everything that was to do with that system because it was squeaking
upon shutdown so like I said it just doesn't feel like it has the same power so I'm pretty sure it's
a boost sleek so stay tuned and we'll check it out in the next video thanks for watching please
subscribe alright we're back at the ram 3500 come in 6.7 and we talked about a boost leak
that I was hearing coming out like the past at your side I just heard like a whirling noise so
I think I fixed it and in the next video we'll go over it but we're gonna do a quick acceleration
on after I turned this corner here and we're gonna listen to see what kind of boost noise
we hear if we hear any I'm pretty sure I fixed it up and it was something simply overlooked and
that everybody overlooks that I've seen on all the videos so let's get around this corner here
all right nice open stretch of road here now let's listen for the turbo noise
we're a full school 34 and you're gonna see that whistling whirling noise and the passenger-side
is gone I don't hear it anymore all I hear is the turbo spooling so we'll talk about that in
the next video all right we're back in 3500 this is the continuation video for the boost
League I'm pulling about 6000 pounds right now let's just sum boost and see if we hear anything
nope I don't hear any more of that weird whistling that's my exhaust break coming
on so yeah we solved the boost leak issue and we will go into detail what my exact boost leak was
all right we're back at the ram 3500 and we had a boost leak and I fixed it specifically we're
gonna talk about these ram horns this one is MP boosted there's many many manufactures that
make them this is the one that has the dent for a fuel line down there and everything normally
your intake snorkel but-- ram horn wherever you want to call it with the throttle valve and the
EGR valve have six mounting bolts three in the rear three in the front when you get your new
ram horn the bolt dead center in the middle here that goes straight down one it doesn't
fit between the ram horn and two it's a super long bolt because it goes through the top of the intake
and go straight down into the block so I went out and I matched one of the bolts to one of
these ones and when I noticed as I was getting a whistling noise under heavy acceleration and
if you look down there I'm gonna zoom in you see where I just put that regular cap bolt in there
he's 25 millimeter length I would go to 20 millimeter length just cuz it was a pain in
the butt to get in there but I noticed the turbo gasket was blown out a little bit down
there and I'd be at about 30 pounds boost but it just wasn't feeling like the truck a truck
was gutless went ahead and loosened all these up reset the gasket put that bolt in there tighten
it all back down and what do you know the noise is gone the whistling noise is totally gone so
yeah if you upgraded to a ram horn you might want to add that additional bolt down there in
the middle a lot of instructions say it's okay to leave it out I don't think it's okay to leave
it out because like I said they blew the gasket out in a matter of a month let me see if I can
find a package for this bolt all right there is the bolt you want to use a grade eight or
higher so this at eight point eight it's an Emmy buy 125 thread pitch by thirty is what
I put in there like I said you can go with a 25 or even a twenty would fit fine it's not much
needed to thread down in there 30 went in there but it was tight so 25 or it's morning will be
just fine so yeah hope this helps you find your boost leaks thanks for watching please subscribe
