Heres the code the best i could read.
Horizontal: YEE97922

vERTICAL: 4JV2V12311791

the plate on the front left of the engine compartment above the head light is that suppose to match the engine code?

The Oil in the HPOP res. does that enter the engine or does it recycle itself? It was super gewy when I sucked it out. If its a separate thing I would like to put expensive stuff in it.

Please dont forget my previous questions.

It appears that your engine falls in the forged rod category, but if you suspect it is not original then the only way to know for sure is to look for yourself.

I dont know if that is how it works.

Oil is constantly recirculating. It goes like this, oil pump, HPO reservoir, HPOP, then what doesnt get dumped back to the pan goes to the injectors, injectors fire then back to the pan again.

If its a separate thing I would like to put expensive stuff in it.

I would use synthetic anyways, truck will love you for it! For me the synthetic (Delvac 1) make my truck run muuuch smoother, starts easier, etc.
Please dont forget my previous questions.

Gotcha!

I see there is an adjustment on the turbo waste gate should i adjust that before I install it?

907DAVE Wed, May 5th, 2010 08:33 PM

There is a way to adjust the gate buy tightening the rod down a bit.

I don't know if I would as the tuning should take care of that.

I just leave it unplugged. When Im boosting it swwms to bleed off at 20

Actually Dave, the wastegate will still open regardless of the tuning.....but only because drive pressure overcomes spring pressure in the actuator. I tuned the heck out of my friend's 99.5 6-speed but couldn't get decent boost at low RPM (what I knew it was capable of). I never had an issue with automatics, but since manuals lose boost at every shift, I knew something was fishy. So I adjusted the wastegate rod until it was physically impossible for the wastegate to ever open and now the driveability of his 6-speed is GREAT. Of course I had to take some fuel out down low afterwards but it's a totally different truck now. I wouldn't recommend doing it to another truck, but I'm just throwing it out there because I know that the springs in the actuators are pretty weak and that they will be overcome by drive pressure at relatively low boost regardless of whether or not the wastegate solenoid is commanded to send boost to the actuator or not.

Great!

Thanks for clearing that up for me, I was not sure as I have not had much experience with the stock turbo's.
