Im not a mechanic but a good friend of mine is and he now lives right across from the street so it’s been really convienent to have full acess to about 40k worth of Matco tools hahaha.
We didn’t do a 60min test but maybe closer to 40minutes and it held at 20psi the entire time. Then we ran the truck up to temperature and watched the gauge climb up and down to see if anything jumped out at us. It climbed up to almost 20psi and then back down so nothing too conclusive. We are thinking the leak is very small or only occurs during high temp/regen situations...even still I would of expected to see some pressure drop. His next steps would be dig into the the egr cooler and look for signs of white or gel like residue on the egr valve or intake. We just didn’t have the time to do that.
Since he moved in, I’ve been exposed to many great tools I’ve never heard of or used and now want them for myself hahaha.
-Torque sticks for lug nuts-awesome
- matco plastic stapler/welder - great for fixing kids toys.
- large matco impact. Gets any bolt off.
The list keeps growing as each day goes by haha. When moving he had the tow truck drop the tool box off at my place for a few days before closing. It’s impressive and convenient!
