Firemen's Appreciation Dinner
Well I went to the Fireman’s Appreciation Dinner on Thursday night and was the second in line for the most service hours for the year of 2013. My buddy Kelly Hinkley was top on the list at 257 service hours I had 235 service hours. So we both got hoodies with our name on the front and service hours and the fire dept logo on the back. I'll wear it proudly... At the same time I bought my Chief a dress cap all in white so next time we have a formal get together he can dress up for the event. So it was quite the event for appreciation dinner.

Thankful enough those thing don't happen where I live. But really nasty lightning storms can and do happen here. Some are rather spooky to watch.

Best Power Options for stock turbo and stock vp
I've seen some really bad things happen with both Smarty and Superchips where it left a vehicle disabled and people calling me for a fix. Everything from damaged OBDII port from all the socketing of the programming cord, to the programming cord being damaged creating a bad flash, too weak/bad batteries creating the same thing again. Just a few of the many phone calls I've gotten from people regarding programmers. Once this occurs the only thing you can do is tow it do a dealer have the OBDII port fixed and stock flash put back put back to the truck. Even the early 98.5 to 99 where highly known to blow the ECM's with because of design weakness of the PROM that wouldn't tolerate the flashing. Just things I've learn of the many years of answering phones.

Best Power Options for stock turbo and stock vp
Basically equal to stock for MPG's again and gained power. So you might see 16-18 MPG roughly on average. What your looking to do is shorten the pulse length but keeping a good tight nozzle hole that atomizes fuel really good. The larger the nozzle the larger the droplet and more heat required to convert liquid fuel to vapor to burn. Liquid fuel will not burn nor ignite. There is only one large injector I know of that is claiming best spray pattern of all but its only for the CR engines which is the BBI Injectors.

Injector question
Injector lines get tighten first then the injector hold down get tighten. Also double check to see if debris is caught in the seat where the line meets the crossover tube.

bigger turbo?
Huh? Stock injectors. Your fine yet for turbo even with the RV275's you still fine. Even with my +50HP injectors its still very controllable for EGT's. The problem is that people try to tow at the same speed as a empty truck. This where things go wrong. You need to gear down and slow down a bit on grades. Even out here in Idaho I tow most grades in 4th gear (5 speed) without any problems EGT's wise as long as I'm at my torque curve peek. (1,900 to 2,100 RPM's)

Symptoms of Raptor failure?
As for the the output side of the pump you can pass through 2 filters without any loss. (3 micron on the AirDog and 10 micron fleetguard in the stock can). As for the suction side you can add a pre-filter screen.

Cutting in a fuel filter
Still makes me scratch my head this why the AirDog series was create with a pre-filter and water separator before the pump. Then create a Raptor without the filter and then blame the owner for not installing the filter before the pump. Maybe Pureflow should look at there own design and reconsider that this is not a prefect world and fuel is always dirty and has debris in it. So why isn't Raptor re-designed to include a spin on filter before or something to protect the pump like the AirDog's?

I Can't Take It
35*F here... Get ready for clear sky day and possible 55*F high.
-
Symptoms of Raptor failure?
Fuel leaking out the pump motor. Regulator spring issues and wild up/down swings in pressure. Complete geo-rotor failure where the pump locks up blowing the fuse.

I Can't Take It
Ummm... 54*F and partial sunny here. Lawn turing green and next week I get to fire up water for the irrigation system and hydro generator.

So... I have a bit of a project..
Getting all the wood framing done. I'm curious to see how you finish this out.
-
Chainsaw sharpener..
Some how I'm not convinced. How does it sharpen? Keep the teeth angles correct? Adjust rake height?

D Ripley Where Are You?
I've called his cellphone and left a message for him. But no return phone call yet.

911 help, dying computer, how to quick backup everything?
Same here when I bought mine from Staples they will not touch the PC software. But as a end user you can do what you wish to it for software.

More on turbo whistle
I've straight piped my stock pipe and pull my ring for while. Then put it back in. Then I destroyed my turbo with that hose clamp and had it rebuilt. Then stuck the ring back in the turbo bark blew it out and I caught it time before damage was caused. I've left the ring out since then.

Injectors = Higher MPG?
That is something that frustrates me about modules. I which they would explain there timing curve a bit more. Smarty seems to have setting that aren't explained very well. Kind of like the duration setting. Even Edge Products are just as bad.
-
I'm still here!
Good to see you back around... Is it the 5th gear nut that failed in the trans?

Road Rage Karma Bites Back!
Like again I made my way home from the Fire Chief house tonight and I know the highway speed limit is 65 MPH but I continue to drive 55 all the way home. I had a guy tailgating me on the way home and I pulled off on Rainbow bend road to loop back up on the highway. I'm glad I did because I had two deer jump out ahead of me. I had plenty of time to slow down and give them time to clear the highway. But I had that tailgater I might of been home lot later...

911 help, dying computer, how to quick backup everything?
That's a big problem with laptops. Laptops are very limited for ventilation so after while the vent plug up with dust and lint and BOOM! The whole laptop is fried from overheat. What is funny all computer today have heat management of some sort. Linux can monitor with a Conky panel and you able to watch CPU and Hard Drive temps and keep things from over heating. I know Windows can too but even back in the day the programs seem to be limited for what they can see and what hardware. Something to think about.
-
Injectors = Higher MPG?
Either way all modules add timing of some sort. But where and when the timing is added is the problem. Edge Comp seems to add the timing down low RPM's. But not a 100% certain either.

Here is my beast that I've been using I love this laptop and it works very well with Linux. Only paid about $420 for it in Ontario, OR - Staples... satellite_L875D-S7232.pdf

Need A/C help
But cycling isn't normal. By Sanden Compressor manual the compressor should remain locked for optimal performance and never cycle more than 3 times a minute. If cycling more than that compressor clutch damage will occur. So its best to keep it locked up so that means charging the system properly with freon too.
