Turbo Boost guage
My turbo boost guage isn't working. It worked during my recent trip
from Cincinnat to Orland area, but was not working when I picked it up to take it to Detroit Deisel Allison. The guage is operated by a line or hose that runs from the turbo to the guage. FLDDA says it is "probably" a brake in the hose, but they can't say where. Any ideas as to where this hose runs and how to diagnose? |

Mine quit working once when the tiny little hose came in contact with a hot exhaust part and melted a hole in it. Look in the most likely place: where FLDDA was working! There's an obvious place where this boost line attaches on the engine (I don't remember where, just that it was obvious). -- Dennis Nichols '88 WB40 XXV "Priscilla" -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

When my turbo boost guage stopped working I got to it easily by way of the access below the bed. Like Dennis, I found a small hole in the tubing near the fitting that connects the tubing to the engine. There was enough slack in the tubing for me to cut off the damaged portion and reconnect it. Look for thin tubing near the top of the engine connected with a compression fitting. Good luck. Gene Marshall, Dickinson, Texas 1988 PT40 |
