Looks like it's time for an alternator
Mopar1973Man replied to Doubletrouble's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain
PCM protect fuse blow? Tach signal present to turn on the PCM? Are you seeing voltage on the blue and green wires while the engine is running? -
My best to explain levels... Level 0 - Quadzilla disabled. Stock ECM in full control. No fuel table or timing table is used of the Quadzilla. Only live data from the CANBus. Level 1 - Valet Mode. This allows us to lock the fuel limit to a single value say I use 10% which the truck will drive but a max speed of 20 MPH. This allows the truck to move for a shop tech but not be driven very fast at all. The fuel table is disabled and only this signal number fuel amount is used. Level 2 - Stock Fuel. This level will allow for all your timing values and then fuel is capped at 100% fuel. No additional fuel will be given above stock 100% regardless of the fuel table setup. Level 3 - Full CANBus fuel. Now your entire CANBus fuel table will be used all the way to 150% fueling. Full timing table is used. Levels 4 to 11 - These are all the wiretap levels. Like me, I only use 7 levels total which makes the 4 levels for wiretap split out to 25% per level. Now my tune the 1200us of pulse so if like today I've got level 5 set and that means I only get 600us pulse of wiretap. More levels the more it splits out the wiretap.

100 dollars a tune. I will update as many times as needed in 30 days. There is several other factors needs to be looked at. Like final ratio needs to be 3.55 to 3.73 after tires. Like Beast I went from 265/75 R16 to 245/75 R16 which is one inch smaller but changes to a final ratio of 3.69:1 after tires. Optimal IAT is 80 to 140°F Optimal thermostat 200°F (experimental) Optimal fuel temp <140°F Optimal cetane <45 cetane

Pump code P0216
Mopar1973Man replied to 01_Cummins_4x4's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain
Most likely not the Edge Comp. But yes unplug it all and retest and see if the code returns. Majority of P0216 codes are because the fuel lubricity is poor and the timing piston will sieze. -
Another trick turn off the Quadzilla complete and run level 0 for a few days and make note of the timing at different RPMs. Now, I can tell you stock is 20 to 21 degrees of timing at 2,000 RPM. The whole idea is to provide that extra timing to make it more efficient not to retard the timing to make it even worse. This is why I'm giving clues on how to figure out timing. Optimal timing engine oil temperature should be at least 30*F cooler than coolant. Optimal timing will have the LOWEST engine for at speed. Optimal timing will have the LOWEST EGT's for at speed. The best way to learn timing and its curves is to watch stock values for a few weeks and then build a tune that closely follows stock and now starts advancing equally up the RPM. If you are stepping by +3, +4, or +5 degrees per band that way to have an even curve following RPM's.

Trick. Figure a point like your 15 PSI of your wire tap. Now ramp up the fuel map from 100% to 150% from 15 to 30+ PSI of the fuel table. Now there should be a stock 100% realm from say 5 PSI to that 15 PSI of the table. This allows for a wide range of stock power cruise state that not adding fuel more or less running on the injectors only. This keep efficiency up. Now when you dig in the throttle and boost builds past 15 PSI CanBus is ramping up at the same time as the wiretap stack that 180 HP on and could possibly spin a tire. My truck at 45 MPH 4th gear climbing 7% grade Beast has be known to roll a bit of blue smoke off the tires. Does it work? Heck yeah it does! I've scared a few friend haulin' up that canyon.

If it was a 24V... Quadzilla would be a huge help being you could build a towing tune that is a bit more retarded so the turbo is kept spooled more. That being said when you set up the pump timing don't advance much maybe like 14° BTDC then that would keep the EGTs down. Now on the 24V I'm going build a towing tune basically what I said that is more retarded in the low RPM to bring launching power then create a small advance cruise realm but very little because excessive advance timing with boost is a good way to blow head gaskets. Either was the basic concept is there for either old school P-pump without dynamic timing and 24V with dynamic timing. Both styles still run on the same rules, retarded timing puts more expanding gases into the turbine on the turbo, more advancement burns more in the cylinder, boost is decreased, being there is less expanding hot gases being the was all consumed in the cylinder as work. The topping on it all. Watch your engine oil temperature. If your oil temperature is lower than coolant your not sweating heat off in the cylinder walls the coolant stays cooler and more heat is removed from the engine oil. A little bit of logging data or just watching oil temps and finding the sweet spot for a P-Pump is challenging to say the least.

Sadly, that tune is not going to work very well at all. Too retarded in timing all the way. Wire tap set up wrong won't work correctly. Then fueling table is set up incorrectly. NOTE: Even the stock ECM tune can hit 30 degrees of timing its just a matter of WHEN. NOTE: Min / Max TPS should never be the same being wire tap will only work at 75%. <75% and >75% wire tap is disabled. NOTE: 100% fuel table entry is just say mirror stock. Any value above 100% is adding fuel. Any value below 100% is cutting fuel. NOTE: Like usual most try to bring the wire tap in too early and not have a supporting fuel table to aid in power. (Cut rate fuel table) Just for point of reference... 66 MPH for Beast is 2,000 RPM's with my 7x0.010 injectors popped at 320 bar I'm at 24* to 26* of cruise timing and EGT's are below 600*F. Your current cruise timing is 15.9 degrees at 2,000 RPM only if engine load is <20%.

Slick Fuel Filter Housing
Mopar1973Man replied to Andyba20's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge Non-Powertrain
Problem it will not acquire heat from the intake manifold like the OE fuel filter does. This is a bonus come winter time so your dependent of electric heaters for longer than needed. Once the housing warms then the heater shuts off. -
Strange your going cooler when I'm going hotter and using 200°F thermostat in Beast. More I added heat the better the efficiency and quieter the engine. Optimal intake temperature is 80°F to 140°F. Then I'm running 200°F to 220°F coolant temperatures and timing is 24° to 26° at 2,000 RPM. Remember being I'm popped 320bar I'm a few degrees retarded. Colder seems to require more timing and also the thermodynamics will shed more of your power into cold coolant jacket. Strange part even with the hotter coolant I'm still 30°F cooler in engine oil showing I'm not sheding much cylinder heat at all.

Rear Axle Noise
Mopar1973Man replied to Tractorman's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain
@Tractorman knowing you close to me. You could try Idaho Drivetrain in Boise Idaho. I'm not sure if they could repair axle or if will they just swap axles. https://idahodrivetrain.com/ (208) 475-2774
