  1. MnTom is right... Another awesome suggestion.
  2. Awesome picture. A little bit of Africa on the Mopar1973Man.Com site Wow!
  3. Yes. You can but what go is it? Pull the horn relay and plug it in and will start again. What I suggest is placing a kill switch in the cab that can be reach from the drivers sitting position without alerting anyone that there is a kill switch in the vehicle. You don't want to be bending way down or un-naturally digging under the dash. I would suggest placing it like under the break release handle where its natural to release your brakes but flick a switch at the same time. Edge of the driver seat etc. As for wiring the kill switch... Notice on the fuel pump relay in the upper right corner there is a ground lead (Black pin 85) which comes from the fuel pump relay. Now you can CUT this wire and then run the wire into the cab to a SPST toggle switch that is wired to ground. When the switch is ON the truck will start and run. When the switch is off then the truck is disabled and the P1689 code will be set if anyone tries. Being its a single ground wire you can tuck it back into the loom for the most part and hide it for most of the run back into the truck and no one will know. Another wild trigger I heard about is the cigarette lighter. Unplug the wires to the cigarette light socket and wire your ground and fuel pump ground lead to it. As long as the cigarette light is pushed in the truck will run. Take the cigarette light with you and she is dead as a mackerel.
  4. Transformers only work with AC power. DC has to be converted to AC the stepped up then converted back to DC by diodes.
  5. If you smelling fuel I can bet you got a fuel leak issue (bleed off your prime). The common spot to check is the return banjo at the back of the head and the return tee at the back of the block.
  6. I know like our old Military Fire Trucks are 24V system and we break out of the the batteries with 12V for all the electronics. But trying to go from 12V to 24V is tougher yet because of the requirements of the truck. Even if you did there is no way for the alternator to keep up with 24V system (12V alternator). So the easiest plan is getting a 12V to 24V converter box like Wild and Free suggest.
  7. That at 200:1 ratio. 128:1 ratio which I use is actually a lower number unofficially somewhere around 380-420 HFFR.
  8. When you get them back make sure to follow the torque pattern and instructions on torquing the heads back on. Typically like a 3 stage process (or might be?).
  9. On the CR engines usually the owner get to change one then in about 1-2 weeks later another go bad. So either do it all now and get it over with or constantly buying one injector and taking valve cover and all the other stuff off. Usually a lot of owner figure they got the bad injector and the next bad injector starts to fail and don't know it now start washing rings out on that cylinder. This why the life span of CR engine are typically very low.
  10. Welcome to the family...
  11. That's what I'm waiting for too is to hear back from http://www.idahoturbodiesels.com/vb/index.php and see when they get a Dyno event going. I want to get some baseline numbers again since my last run was in 2007.
  12. That's just wrong your first picture of a used head gasket in the box and the second with a torn gasket. I'm glad someone step up to the plate and deals with stuff like that yet. I've gotten computer parts in the mail that have been used man talk about being pissed off. Even for personal stuff it sure sucks when your time line is riding on the parts.
  13. The only limit is you should see more than 3 cycles in a minute. (Sanden Compressor specs) But if you compressor is oiled up and low side pressure is above 35 PSI then you should be fine. As the evaporator does cool it will drop the low side pressure and start cycling but low freon cycling is bad for the clutch. This is why I tend to slightly over-charge the system to prevent compressor cycling and prevent clutch damage. Solid lock compressor is more efficient than a cycling compressor. Remember when compressor cycles off the hot freon is rushing back to the evaporator and now it going to reduce cooling performance.
  14. Nice job...
  15. Might also be something wrong with the power valve within the steering box.
  16. APPS sensor doesn't really control idle. When the IVS grounds for idle position then the ECM uses its own internal software to manage idle speed. So even without a APPS sesor present the truck will still start and idle. Basics... Error codes and fuel pressure tested with a mechanical gauge.
  17. Open line flow rates are up to around 500-520 GPH for 1/2" plumbing. (Calculated)
  18. MnTom Windows is too slow to keep up to date.
  19. I still continue to open carry my pistol with me when I leave the house. I will alway carry a weapon with me to defend my family and myself. Where I live the four leggers are more of a issue then in the big cities the two leggers are the issue. So I'll continue to carry and defend myself just as police defend themselves.
  20. Forward back buttons look like old IE style and the rounded tabs looks like Chrome. Then all the icon pile up on the right looks like another IE9 thing.
  21. Bit pricey but I would just get a new compressor and be done with it. Mine never left any trace of freon or oil on the seal but sure enough replace the the compressor and my leak is now gone.
  22. Technically it would. Because the pressure is the same from the VP44 and the orifice is the same from engine to engine so the amount of cc's of fuel would be the same producing 275 HP at the flywheel. I remember reading some where and don't quote me the size difference is 9/10's of a thousandth or 0.0009 from stock to RV275's for hole size.
  23. Now that there is a personal problem not a engine / performance problem. I can't help you with that YabbaDoo...
  24. Actually FireFox has that Internet Explorer and Google Chrome look now. As for the plugin for FireFox either batch should work. Mine I get from a article over on Ubuntu Forums about security. I know this is Ubuntu Linux but the FireFox Browser is the same thing... Worth at least reading over it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=671604
