RE: Silencer ring step by step removal ...
ORIGINAL: blasticblazin
i beleive i know what might have caused it....last night when i was removing the silencer, our sprinklers came on and i had to scramble to get my keys in the ignition so i could put the truck in neutral and push it out of the way of the sprinklers....well i beleive that is on enough for the ecu to look for sensers....that sensor that you have to unplug off the top of the airbox to get at the turbo ring was unplugged when i had to push the truck out of the way....i beleive that the P0073 error code is a map sensor error(atleast thats the closest answer i can find google'n it) and if im not mistaken, that sensor on the top of the box is some sort of map sensor....now im not a mechanic and now that i'd tooled around with it a few times and probly turned my truck on and off about 5 times, the service engine light is gone so im hoping that was the problem....anyone confirm or atleast agree to make me feel better? =)

so this doesnt do anything for added boost or anything? how much louder does it really make the turbo? and it doesnt hurt it what-so-ever? cuz i think i may do it today

dub post. I tried removing the silencer today, but couldn't get the snap ring off. I couldn't get my screwdriver underneath it, and I pushed pretty hard. I'm still a bit wary to put too much force on it, bc I don't want to damage anything. I've only had the truck since Thursday. Maybe I'll try again another day.
