Re: Winter Operation

ok so for the WHATS THAT SOUND. If it's coming from the tail pipe and sounds like someone has stuffed a potato up there, it's the Exhaust Back Pressure Valve (EBV). This valve closes in a cold engine to create a load which will help the engine warm up a little quicker.

my sound isnt coming from the tail pipe it sounds like pssssssssssssssst and will go away at say 3/4 throttle, and it feels like its holding up the truck in tems of performance. i had initally thought a waste gate was stuck open then i got to thinking more that maybe it was something ford did to help the turbo/motor in cold conditions cuz it did it one day in 30 deg but then the next morn it was like 50 and it didnt do it. so i hope thats what it is.

oh im duffy by the way new guy here ill do an introduction in anothe thread.
