Gonna get paid to go bowling today bitches
That 1" overnight and a possible 1-2" more today was off. We're already at almost 5" and its coming down good.bullshit 5 mph drive into work. Normally i have a 25 minute commute took me 50 minutes.
So here's my fun adventure last night:

Cummins place was closed by the time I got to it (which was *not* when they said they closed :| ) so I finagled a new bolt into the V-band clamp and stuffed everything back together.
Good news is the awful noise is gone and everything is much quieter.
Bad news is I figured out why they put a turbo on these trucks...because they don't XXXXing get out of their own way with purely natural aspiration.
At least I don't have to worry about it getting worse now...
CTeunuch said:The band clamp is not the wastegate, it's what keeps the two halves of the turbo together, and allows you to clock/rotate it. If it came loose you could have roasted the bearings inside by putting weird side loads on them. When you check the impeller play, check in and out as well as up and down, spin it and see how it feels too. This is what it looks like inside(roughly)

If it was like that for long, and the weight of the turbo pulled on that shaft while the clamp was loose, you're looking at a new turbo. What engine is it, the 5.9 or 6.7?
I am getting ideas now. I bet an aw4 pan would make a good brownie pan, and the dipstick could be used to check if they are done from outside the oven
Adam, you got a part number for one of these thinger ma bobbers?
