[QUOTE="Luillo69, post: 16623746, member: 197835"] You all not going to believe this shit. Lund insisted the issue was mechanical and I told him that until I can figure it out I would want to install the stock elbow and TB to enjoy the car. Well, once I had the TB out I decided to check it out a little more in-depth. I started moving the blade with my finger and noticed that it stuck about half way very random and it wasn’t tight at all. I check the spring tension by loosing it all the way and tighten it back at the lowest and still got stuck half way 1-2 out of 10 times I tried. Next, I moved the blade to get it stuck and when it did I decided to lose the TB control housing and it got loose. The TB closed fine, that told me something is right or jamming. Last thing I did was to open the TB control housing and clean all gears. Then I lobbed the gears with dielectric grease to include the blade shaft where it connects to the sides of the TB and closed back up. I did a cross pattern and tighten by hand very light but secured. Tested it and no issues. Bolted back to the car and spent 1 to 1 and half hours beating the shit out and trying to get the issue to occur but it is fixed as far as I can tell. I did everything I knew was causing the issues from coasting, hard acceleration, tapping the gas, to hard pulls and not even hiccup. Now I am 100% sure is mechanical and if it happens again I either have to replace that motor or call KB to see what can be done. Although they already told me it will cost me $200 to send it to check even knowing is new after waiting 2 months. Honestly I thing the shaft in the gears might not have enough clearance against the plastic motor casing and if you tight e tinny bolts too much, it binds. I did added a dab of dielectric grease there too, FYI. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
