Turbo Boost - dbcooper98 - 08-29-2009 15:48 I have a 84 FC with a 3208 Cat, My Turbo boost gauge reads 6.5 Lbs at full throttle, is that about what it should read? Thanks, Dale 84 FC Painesville, Oh.

Thanks, Dale 84 FC Painesville, Oh. Turbo Boost - richardgideon - 08-30-2009 00:25 Check your linkage...when pedal is to the metal, the governor arm should be fully stroked. You most likely are not getting 'full' throttle. Getting WOT (Wide Open Throttle) is important for proper transmission function and the Cruise Control will work better also. The EGT will likey be elevated if you are not acheiving full throttle. If you have the Bendix Air Throttle check the CC-5 clylinder for leaks and sticking piston/o-rings. Mostly just simple maintenance item the can be performed by an owner/operator or any truck shop. I would not suggest an RV dealer...find a guy who can repair a dump truck. --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "dbcooper98" > > I have a 84 FC with a 3208 Cat, My Turbo boost gauge reads 6.5 Lbs at > full throttle, is that about what it should read? > Thanks, Dale > 84 FCPainesville, Oh. > Turbo Boost - gregoryoconnor - 08-30-2009 03:44 Richard has way good advice here,I would add exhaust leaks??? To not use an rv shop for engine repair is also good advice. I got blasted with hate emails from CCW supporters when I warned members that CCW was only good for step repair and Sporlan Valve service. I was wrong with that opinion as members still have issues with their steps.

My pump has been "tuned" by the previous owner. Aaron 86FC35RB "Bark-O-Lounger" |
