Intake spyder Sludge??

[Thomas7.3psd]

Took my intake spyder off and i got a chocolate milk looking sludge on my cold side of the IC tubes where it connects with the Spyder..also have some water im guessing condensation...i know this isnt normal so why it it their what is it from???

BTW the oil is fine but im guessing its condensation mixing with the ould inside the intercooler? if im correct how do i stop it/get rid of it?

CCV mod. get the oil to stop going into the intake.

then well.. time or you can remove the IC, empty a few cans of brake keen... swish around for a few min... dump out allow to dry for a few days.

i did the ccv mod 5K miles ago, pulled the tubro off a month ago and there was puddles of oil in the ic piping and spider.

theres oil in the IC, slowly working its way out. and its the same in your case.

thanks for the reply.. is their a faster way to clean out the IC i cant be down a few days..

pull the intercooler out and wash it out with a heavy duty degreaser. then just need to dry it out before you install it and hook it back up i usually just set mine up infront of a torpedo heater and let it warm up till all the water dries out of it. usually takes a couple hours total.

any chance this sludge could couse a hesistation at about 1500 rpm..i thought it was my cps..then my IPR i just replaced that but i still have hesitation.

normally, in the case of excessive oil into the IC... then being draw in into the air intake will cause an over speed. quite spectacular on the Detroit V92 2 stroke diesels, when there idling they will pullde up oil... as soon as u blow enough boost into the ic.. yeah, all hell comes apart.

if it's watery, wich there might be a little bit of condensation it could possibly cause hesitation if your at the point just before making boost, therotecially speeking, the most amount of air you can flow before you have a back up (boost) the engine would choke on the water. hence with Water/meth, you only want to inject it above ## LB boost. or it will choke the engine

if your in a hurry, which is never a good thing.. IMO.
you could try a trick i thought of.. route the cold side IC pipe away using a decent strength duckting hose, to direct air away from the engine intake, dump some brake or carb kleen into the IC on the hot side. place a airfilter on the intake spyder to keep any #### from getting sucked in. and allow the cleaner to set for a few, start the truck and let it idle. rev it up to a safe area... watch EGT's!!!!! quite the flow of air through it for an extended period of time, should remove the oil and the cleeaner, yes the cleaner is very flammable to be going into the intake. and probably not so good for the IC boots.

if someone wants to chime in on the idea... that would be appreciated. makes cleaning out the guts a bit easier... but how effective and practical, i dont know. but it's a brain child thought.

-discuss?

well i took the IC off and cleaned it with laqer thinner put it back together and left the cold side off and let it idle for awile to dry and then put it on and went for a test drive and i still have hesitation..i have another post about it..seams like their becoming the same post now.Where is the IPR - Powerstroke Nation

Ever get the hesitation fixed?
