  1. Still why is utility trailers excluded? I've seen some out weigh some RV's.
  2. Basically anything the ECM/PCM has a sensor for.
  3. That's a question I can't get answered... Why is that only RV's require a Weight Distribution Hitch where most all utility trailers don't? Like my Fire Chief has utility box trailers that gross more weight than my RV but don't require a WD hitch. Even my BigTex 70TV is really close to the RV in weights but doesn't require a WD hitch either. But some can hitch up to a bumper bull flat bed trailer grossing 13,000 to 14,000 with a tractor no problem without a WD hitch but on the flip side RV requires (or highly suggested). Why is this?
  4. Doesn't hurt. Live data tool (like ScanGauge II) would do just fine if you want to watch engine data.
  5. Typically our trucks can haul roughly 9,000 to 13,000 pound trailers. Hitch weight of about 900 to 1,300 (~10%).
  6. HX35W turbo is a 12cm2 exhaust housing and a HY35W turbo is a 9cm2 exhaust housing.
  7. Funny how a isolator can make a quality mechanical fuel pressure gauge in to read junk pressures.
  8. Diesel Auto Power or Vulcan Performance is my only two I deal with being they sell VP44's with a new PSG unit on top where you pay extra money at Blue Chip for new PSG, NAPA I can't confirm if the PSG is new or where they get rebuilt.
  9. Sign of a bad ECM. WTS light should come on for a bulb check each time.
  10. Yea the P0216 code... Mechanical failure of the injection pump on the timing piston. It seems your pump has taken on damage. I would clear the code and see if the code returns.
  11. Actually no. Because if you truly running for MPG's you boost should be below 5 PSI if so there is no flowing exhaust really (Back pressure). I'm still running 3" exhaust just straight piped and no issues at all with MPG's. Actually you find slightly warmer intake air temps promote better MPGs more than anything. Between 100-140*F you'll get you better MPG than colder air will.
  12. DW I could and you didn't even swing up into Idaho to say "Hi!"... Geez...
  13. I found a article a while back that explains a weird behavior of the IAT sensor. Say for example the IAT is forced 143*F, the coolant is actually 195*F and the outside temperature is <60*F you go start the Wait To Start doesn't give any grid heat pre-starting but post-starting there is grid heat. But now if the outside temperature rises to 100*F now there is neither pre-start grid heat or post-start grid heat. The only sensor left on the truck that can sense temperature is battery temp sensor. So the best I can say is the PCM communicates this information to the ECM over the CCD network. Battery temp sensor is designed for controlling charging voltage vs. temperature. But the article I did find the system will use some of the information from the battery temp sensor when and what I'm not sure exactly.
  14. SRW to DRW really doesn't change the carrying capacity of the truck. It just make for a more stable ride that's all. Like adding training wheels to your truck.
  15. Could be any measurement you want for ratio it can be gallons, ounces or even liters. 128:1 Ratio. 128 Gallons of fuel to 1 gallon of oil. 128 Ounces of fuel to 1 ounce of oil. 128 Liters of fuel to 1 liter of oil. All are the same.
  16. That rattle is caused by any performance module. But as boost rises the timing should retard which it does typically. Also the colder the air is the worse the problem gets so warming the air reduces the timing rattle and does produce better MPG for daily driver.
  17. I had one break a wire and so I bought just one sensor. The ABS/BRAKE light remained on till I replace the other sensor then it went out. Even Wild & Free had the same problem.
  18. Something seems off. What kind of hitch bumper pull or 5th wheel? Are you dual rear axle or single?
  19. Out here its called "Life Flight membership" if you have a medical emergency and life flight is needed then it won't cost you anything if your a member. All they need is dispatcher or a EMS tech to call for it give GPS location and they will come. Even then with country we got they might require EMS to truck you several miles to a LZ for Life Flight to use.
  20. More... Well as for myself I live in rural Idaho and see people living check to check and barely scrapping by. But its such a shocker to go to like Ontario, OR or Boise, ID and see people driving high dollar vehicles, speeding, and shopping till they drop. Totally unreal! Then after getting a load of that for the day I'm more than happy to stroll back up to the mountain cruising at 55-60 MPH. See the run down town of New Meadows, ID I'm happy to see home is just around the corner. I've got no problem living on a tight budget. Thinking about budgets... I know this is thread hijacking... But even the budget of the site is running down hill.
  21. All so common people don't set there sublevels correctly and then suffer from lack of power issues. Or even more common is people on Edge Juice setting the alarms and limits too low and defueling the performance when its needed most.
