      A magnet won't pickup aluminum bearing. Instead cut open your oil filter and drain/inspect the oil.I'm not able to hear it but HLAs or a loose timing belt tensioner can also tick.

      Do you have a check engine light? Sounds like power transistor to me, but you said you already swapped that. Did you check for corrosion in the connector when you swapped it? Might be worth looking into the coil pack too.

      If the turbo doesn't spin freely you have a problem. Quite possible it blew an oil seal.

      Give us a little better description of the issue. Does it smoke all the time, under boost, coming off boost/ throttle, at idle?

      From the exhaust or engine bay? Is the PCV and crank case breather still hooked up properly?

      Agree on it being the alternator. Start the engine and put a volt meter across the battery terminals. You should see between 13 and 14 volts. Any more or less and your alternator is not charging properly.

      dwb replied to the thread 2G Ridiculously high idle.
      Unplugging the MAF puts the ECU into limp mode and is no longer capable of measuring airflow. Yes, it can make it seem to idle better but it will drastically reduce the performance and drive ability. Not sure about it dianosing mechanical vs...

      Time to pull the trans and find out what's up.

      A pivot ball shim is only good if the flywheel has been machined several times or the fulcrum is worn. Helps bring the geometry of fork back to centerline. Otherwise a shim should be avoided.

      dwb reacted to curt-s's post in the thread 1G Clutch release fork play with Like Like.
      If the bearing isn't pulling off the pressure plate when you pull the fork end towards the slave, you lost your retainer and the trans has to come off. The fork end should be centered or just towards the slave when the tob is resting against the...

      Seems off to me. Your clutch fork should stop on the pressure plate right around the center of the opening.

      I do this to all of my DSM throttle bodies so I can get to the dam bolts and loosen them for proper adjustment without CUSSING because "how do you get to that back one easily?" :idontknow: I hope this helps out all my DSM family and anyone else...

      dwb replied to the thread 2G Too much boost.
      Ok, so you have no boost control?Maybe this has been mentioned already, but visually inspect that your wastegate actuator is connected to a boost source and its arm is attached to the wastegate arm.Going further, do a boost leak test and be...

      How much boost exactly? How do you know you're running out of fuel and not just a spark issue?

      New terminals and we have lift off!! Such a huge pain so easily fixed. Thank you guys for all the help! My first time interacting with y’all on the forums and I’m so grateful.

      There should be a ground from neg battery terminal to the firewall and another from neg terminal to the starter bolt. It looks like you're using the battery tiedown stud in the strut tower as a ground (I have no idea if that's OK, but looks...
