Have an 02 vp44 truck, just did ARP head studs and 7x0.010 SAC injectors from power driven diesel.

So I'm looking at pics of this piece of plastic and thinking that $70 is a bit high. Has anyone tried to 3d-print their own version of this? I mean, it's just a piece of plastic with 5 holes and a set screw. I was thinking about scanning the stock VP44 cover and printing my own version that I could release for free on Thingiverse or the like so anyone can make their own. Anybody have a spare VP44 cover they can ship me?

What are my options on reprogramming my speedometer? I know Smarty s03 and drbiii but what else will do it? The cheaper the better.

Hey guys ive had dead pedal ever seens ive put new II hotrod pump on and timbo tps. I think it maybe in the tps because when i put the first one on the lowest i could get it to set was .750 and he sent me another one that he checked before he sent it and said it read .680. I put it on and with my cheap habor freight meter and it said .710. So i adjusted it till it went up and then backed it up till it was at .71 then back it off a half turn then called him and he said to take it up till it went up then back it off a half turn. So i check it before i mess with it again and it was at .750, I went to adjust it and could not get it below .720 so i set it at that. …

Cummins Can bus messages I need some help decoding these messages. I’m not sure about the timing command it requests 25*BTDC at idle as soon as it is started when cold then comes down after a long warm up to about 15*. That seems very high.

Back again. I towed the tiny house from Tucson to Denver last summer and it was a little slow. Besides being heavy, the house is just as aerodynamic as a 13' x 8.5' flat wall. I couldn't shift into 5th on the nv4500 unless I was going downhill. I couldn't keep up with the semi's at 65 mph unless I was running 4th at 2400 rpm so I just cruised at 55. The rollers between Trinidad and Pueblo had me in 3rd at 40 mph. There are a lot of rollers. All I want to do is use 5th gear to keep up with the semi's and maybe go over a rolling hill in 4th. Anyway, 'tis the season of sales on upgrades so I got a Quad v2. I'm sure the quad will help add f…

It has come to my attention that my left front cab support is rusting out. Noticed a rusted hole a little while back that is worse than I first thought and will need replacement soon. Anyone here dealt with this before? I can find replacement mounts for about 200 bucks a pair and figure I can manage the replacement for now. Just not sure whether the floor is rotted also. On top of that, what wiring harness is run thru the cab support? I am seeing a small, 1/4" or so loom inside of the cab mount.

Does anyone have any advice on tunning my vp44, I can not get the lag out of anything I try I do have big injectors, but a pretty well matched turbo, anything I try the power is coming in way to late. Thanks

I finally had time to unpack and check out this Screaming Eagle from DAP. My question is if this bend in the waste gate bracket normal? I haven't tried to pre-fit it to see if the bend was planned for clearance. My guess is it's been dropped at one time (shipping looked undamaged which is strange). Also looks like a good hit on the diaphragm as well. I guess I could bend it back for I'm wondering if I might have balance issues if it did take a hard hit on the floor? Really hoping to install this weekend but I probably need to hear from DAP first.

Rolling through Craig's list see a s03 for 250. It's an older add he says he still has it. I'm like ****. I ask if I can take the programmer for a spin. Get it loaded on 9 and he rides with me. Get out on street and stand on it , I'm like **** I wasnt expecting that. Hes like what turbo is that it whistles he thought it was something cooler then a stock hy35. Pretty much roll around the block. Pay him and we go on our merry way. 7x09 injectors + s03 = fun

How do I change the number of gauges on the Quad display? Right now i have 4 gauges showing. Earlier i had more but i dont know how i did it.

Can you change the name of a custom tune in Quad? I've looked but cant find how to or if i have to delete it and redo the tune under a different name.

View Advert 2001 Quadzilla XZT+ Has the standard tunes on it right now. Purchased this spring (2019) to replace my Van Aaken box that had a failure in the harness. Found a replacement harness and no longer have a need for this box. Was installed in the cab under the dash so it’s never gotten wet or full of dirt, harness has no rub spots or any other damage on it. Three option selector switch is with it as well as all the documentation. Make me a reasonable offer. Willing to drive it down to Utah to have a different tune package put on it if you want as well. Thanks! Advertiser TJH …

I want to say it works incredible 7x009 injectors alone with truck running its factory program, smoke is greatly reduced actually almost gone has good power off idle while towing egt's are a non issue. Turbo is actually lighting sooner as its breaking in. moving slow at 1000rpm it's got a pronounced whistle that it didnt used to have. No it's not a leak ;) doesnt whistle like a ford but it is noticeable. You can hear the air being pulled through the filter pretty fiercely if that's a word towing it has power to accelerate up grades while egts stay below 1200. Before it had power but unable to accelerate because egt's would climb. I did have to…

Anyone have issues with this? I for the life of me cant seem to figure out how or where water could be getting inside the cable. It has been isopropyl dipped and dried, lubed with cable lube and yet it still freezes. It's not even that old, four or five years at most. I plow with this truck so moisture is definitely an issue getting into everything it shouldnt but I just can't find the source of water ingress. Anyone have this issue? Is there a better aftermarket cable to buy? A modification?

Those of you with compound turbos, what are you seeing for exhaust temperature at full throttle? At what point do you stop adding fuel and just accept the fact that you are out of air? Not concerned about drive pressure or turbo sizes at the moment, just exhaust temperature. For example, With DAP 7x.013 VCO nozzles set to pop around 315 Bar, with Max canbus fuel command and 1200us of wiretap, I'm seeing a peak of about 1355°F EGT at just over 60 psi. Without the wiretap, It's less than 1200° at 50 psi or so. Is it worth adding a little more wiretap?

Badass.

I treated myself to a Quadzilla and 7x10 injectors, soon to realize head studs were next to be safe. The shopping list grew again today so i figured it was time to get some help an try to keep my cost managed with less surprises. My list is Boost elbow, Boost fooler, a tablet for quad display, a fully adjustable wastegate for average of $250.00, it's a simple diaphragm that's missing the spring tension adjusting.screw and a supply line fuel pressure sending unit an snubber. I'm not sure if i need another part and i'm starting to lose some trust with the sales dept they kept my DAP t shirt and because i bought a i-quad they took my control pad out of my box, even th…

Hey guys just ordered a fuel boss and big line kit for my 01 and picked up an s03 cheap a while back to turn on hi idle function (not currently using tuning). So now it’s time for gauges. I really wanted to go back to what I knew with my insight setup on my old ford but pricing them out now with the added fuel boost and egt sensors to read accurately it’s near 850. So I’m circling back to 3 pod style. Looking at isspro, what range do y’all run on gauges? The kit has 0-1600 egt 0-40 boost 0-40 fuel Seems like more of 0-1600, 0-60, 0-30 would fit things better? Also is there a pillar that replaces the oem one or doesn’t i…

Been driving around for the past couple months or more with a boost leak. Got a couple weeks off between and dug into it. Put my test cap on and got the soapy water out. Found a good size leak on the upper clamp on the i take horn. No problem just tightened the clamp up. Start hosing the other and nothing. Started spraying the intake cover on the head and when the soapy water hit around #4 it looked like Lawrence Welk has having a bubble party. What I hoped was going to be a 1 hour fix went out the window. I look down between the head and the plate on the intake and I can see the gasket pushed out. Took everything off and find this. Looks like the gasket sepera…
