Hello again everybody, This is a follow up to my prior post about finding metal shavings in my FWS housing. Per some of your suggestions, I pulled the FPR and I did find a small amount of shavings in the screen. As noted in my last post, the quantity valve was completely spotless. Now what's thrown me for a loop here is I found the same shavings I saw in my FWS, in all of my equipment and Jerry cans. I pulled my fuel transfer pump apart that i've been using to fill everything, and found it eating itself alive. All of the junk in my tank and FWS is in fact from my fuel supply. This regulator has thrown my off though, I thought I was out of the woods when I identified my source of contamination but there's still some debris in the FPR. I've already ordered a DPK and that will be going on next weekend, but should I also just change the pump while i'm at it since clearly something has gone through it? Thank you all once again!

Happy 4'th Y'all! I'm faced with a confusing situation here. Truck runs just fine, Went to change my fuel filters for routine service, found loads of metal particulate in the lower fuel bowl that looked just like cp4 shavings (shit, I know what that's from.) Pulled upper filter and dumped it out, found tiny particulate in that as well. Broke down and pulled the upper and lower intake to check the Control valve fully expecting metal shavings there too, but it was completely spotless. Not a hint of contamination there. My question is, should I just slap a DPK on it and let it ride? Or should I just replace the pump, and call it a day. (For legal reasons I cannot post what the control valve cavity looked like)

Hi y'all, I'm hoping to get some input here. I deleted my truck a little over a year ago and ever since, my exhaust brake hasn't worked. It will begin to close the vanes but after about half a second the PCM commands the vanes to a wide open state. Commanded and actual position are perfectly in line but for some reason, it's just not letting the vanes close and create backpressure. The grade brake works in tow/haul mode however. Initially I thought it was a tune issue (sct x4 with GWN files) so I bought new files from Dieselr but the issue persisted. Neither company was able to figure out what was causing this to happen. I'm a well seasoned diesel mechanic but in my line of work, we never touch deletes so it's just not something i'm familiar with. It has (obvoiusly) the delete pipe but the EGR cooler and "throttle" blade are still in place, since I wanted to be able to reverse the delete easily enough in the future if needed. I'm hoping there's someone out there that can point me in the right direction. Thanks for reading! 2016 gen2 Ford 6.7L powerstroke
