Something about the Raptor/AirDog pumps and the adjustable pressure regulator... I've never had a chance to see or to play with one to see if there is something else that can be done to fix it.

May I ask what you know about NAPA / Wix filters and why you not fond of them? I was half tempted to switch over to them.

Current Today MPG: 24.0 I got a second shot at repeating the same trip. The only thing that changes was weather which was much cooler than the 27.2 MPG run. I travel basically the same run again as the first time. Vitals I can give... Cargo and Passengers: 2 on board (350#), groceries (80#), 1/2 Tank of fuel (1/4 tank less fuel) High Temp Outside: 80*F (25*F colder) Speed: 55 MPH or lower speed limits never exceeded 55 MPH. IAT: Forced to 143*F checked actual a few times and it varied from 110-115*F. (22*F to 23*F colder) Coolant Temp: 193-195*F Boost: 1.5 to 3 PSI on the flats and tried not to climb much above 10 PSI while climbing grades. EGT's: (450-500*F down) (550-600*F up) on average max'ed out at 750-800*F climbing 7% grade at 35-40 MPH (not count slowing down for corners acceleration.) Tire Pressures: Front Axle: 58 PSI - Rear Axle: 40 PSI (+3 PSI more) Fuel was treated for 128:1 ratio 2 cycle oil. Air Conditioning was on and used. Elevation: McCall, ID 5,100 feet approx. Home: 2,800 Feet measured. Riggins, ID 1,800 feet approx. Going up I used 4th Gear all the way from home to McCall, ID then at select times that I could I would use 5th gear on the way down. Same with the Trip to Riggins, ID I used 5th gear selectively and return home I used 4th solely climbing back home. Repeated as closely as I could.

You need to verify which gauge is correct. Use a IR heat gun and do a couple of quick measurements with the engine off after its fully warm and see what you get.

The Good Lord above was smart in designing the planet and the rules of nature. Yeah the smoke is choking at times but there is a simple law of science that can't be broken. "Nothing can be created nor destroyed." This means if you weight out every thing on the planet you can never make more of a atom or destroy it. Pollution is that fact there is not enough wind to dilute the smoke. Another phrase told me me is "The solution to pollution is dilution." The planet will deal with the waste products by degrading them over time, or converting to another substance like CO2 to O2 in plants. But what is really stupid is creating Wilderness Areas where man is not allow to take any machinery. Guess what most of the fires are burning out of control in most Wilderness Areas. Why? Because there is no one to manage the land and harvest the dead fall. More or less the Land of No Use. From what I'm hearing they are stretched rather thin at places now...

Check this out. Things are getting a bit smoky around here. Red flag warning for Thunder storms that are coming through.

Neat trick unplug the ECT sensor and allow the sensor to trip a error code and then try clearing the codes again.

Yea... I've seen some injectors with two shims and others with one shim. Shim should always be in the body of the injector first then the spring on top of it.

Pin 3 and P11 are the ODBII port data. You need to check those two pins against ground and see if you get 2.49 and 2.51 volts from the 2 pins. If your not see the 2.49 and the 2.51 volts now you got to start unplugging devices till you gain the voltage back. The device that you unplugg and gain the CCD Bus back will be your damage device.

Oh, Come now Dorkweed you can do better than that... Where is the nice loaded truck picture? :lmao2:Seriously... Every little bit counts. I plan on head back out this fall and getting more wood and hauling home even more. I've got roughly 7 cords in the shed split and stacked and got about 7 cords still outside. I can hold about another 5 cords in the shed.

I did get a quick article put up in place for detecting the high idle software. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/26-engine-systems/436-high-idle-detecting-if-the-ecm-has-been-enabled-for-high-idle I'm going to get a video produced very soon.

Most of us 24V see a MPG drop in the winter time and then a good gain in the summer time. What I've found with the help of ISX the only difference between 12V and a 24V is the IAT sensor. On the 24V trucks as the sensor gets colder than about 100*F then the MPG's start to fall off from fueling and timing changes from the programming on the ECM. So the MPG fooler forces the ECM to thinking its a hot summers day every day. So most people report less loss of MPG's through the winter months.

I got to thank Yankneck for taking on this project and making the improvements to the design. I've been working with Yankneck closely to make this the best version of the high idle mod. Yes. I will be producing a article really soon on how to detect high idle software on your vehicle. I'll post a link to the article very soon.

I keep looking at that V8 design thinking it starting to look like a Ford where the engine is buried under a pile of other stuff. Should of stayed a I6 design...

You might find the 4x1 effects the 5x5. This is a known Edge Comp program bug. I typically run the sublevels all matching. Also remember 1-3 are defuel modes. So with sublevel 1 you only have 33% of stock fuel till 20 PSI of boost. With the RV275's you should be OK and nearly smokeless at 5x3 or 4x3.

Might work good for highway usage but I also got to figure in dirt road operation too. Slightly softer pressure tend to keeping the tires locked down better on gravel roads. Yes. I will admit I like the slightly high pressure on the highway but I bounce between dirt and pavement so often I got to split the difference.

All 65 MPH from Riggins to Grangeville but very little traffic so I set the cruise and relaxed.As for tire pressure I need to tweak them a bit. Front: 4400 / 2 = 2200 / 3042 = 0.72 x 80 = 57.8 PSIRear: 3080 / 2 = 1540 / 3042 = 0.50 x 80 = 40.4 PSI (so I'm 3 PSI off...)

118 PSI / 0.433 = 272.51 Vertical feet of head.You get 0.433 PSI for every 1 foot of vertical fall you have.

Just scaled again at Primeland in Grangeville, ID with 2 passengers, 1 dog, half tank of fuel no cargo other than typical tools. Front Axle ------- 4,400# Rear Axle ------- 3,080# Gross Weight --- 7,480# Trip to Grangeville, ID and back to home. Vitals I can give... Map of travel http://goo.gl/maps/ODZLN High Temp Outside: 85*F Speed: 55 MPH or lower speed limits never exceeded 55 MPH. IAT: Forced to 143*F checked actual a few times and it varied from 120-125*F. Coolant Temp: 193-195*F Boost: 1.5 to 3 PSI on the flats and tried not to climb much above 14 PSI while climbing grades. EGT's: (400-500*F down) (550-625*F up) on average max'ed out at 800-850*F climbing 7% grade at 55 MPH for 7 miles. Tire Pressures: Front Axle: 58 PSI - Rear Axle: 37 PSI Fuel was treated for 128:1 ratio 2 cycle oil. Air Conditioning was on and used. Total MPG --------- 23.5 MPG Total Distance ----- 121 Miles Maintenance done before trip: Fuel filter, Transfer case fluid changed, Power Steer fluid flushed, and other fluids where checked. Day isn't over yet I still got to haul back to Riggins, ID to install oxygen sensors in a Toyota truck and then head to fire meeting. So I'll post the final for the day later this evening.

Napa store roughly about $11 to $13 bucks. It will be a 30 amp relay and it will require its a 5 pin not a 4 pin relay.

Most likely low on freon. When properly charged with freon the AC will not cycle at all. The compressor will run constantly. Hook up your manifold gauges and check you pressures before changing any switches. Make sure your seeing at least 35 PSI on the low side with the compressor running. If there is less that 40 PSI the compressor will most likely not start.

Typically turbo will last a long time only if you have 2 things for them.* EGT gauge* Good oil and oil filtersIf you keep the EGT's down so you not melting the turbo and over heating the bearings as well as allowing the turbo to cool down before shutting off. Most look for about 300*F before shutting down. As for oil you don't need any fancy synthetic oils but a good name brand petroleum oil that is CI-4 or CJ-4 grade that is 15w-40 typically. Most here opt for Fleetguard oil filters. I'm switching back over to NAPA Gold filter from here on out.But Hex0rz got the article for ya...

AirDog / Raptor with the adjustable regulators are known for issues of stability. I would contact Pureflow and find out if there is a updated regulator or if you need to just replace it because of a damage regulator unit.I would like to ask if you have the Big Line Kit all the way to VP44? Is there any Banjo Bolts or stock plumbing left on the truck?Another thing to check for is air leaks at the suction lines. A way to check this is to pressurize the fuel tank by using a blow gun and a rag at the filler neck. Just give it about 1-2 PSI and have a friend crawl around looking for wet spots or wet connections. AirDog / Raptor quick connectors are known to leak air as well.

Fill er' up with a tank of premium unleaded that should clean the fuel tank out. Seriously I would consider dropping the tank and washing it out with solvent or something if its that bad.

Correct. 5x3 5 - Is the main level which happens to be the highest setting of 120 HP. 1. 40 HP 2. 60 HP 3. 80 HP 4. 100 HP 5. 120 HP 3 - Is the sublevel or how fast the Edge will fuel compared to boost pressure. 1. 33% of stock fuel until 20 PSI of boost pressure 2. 50% of stock fuel until 15 PSI of boost pressure 3. 67% of stock fuel until 10 PSI of boost pressure 4. Some extra fuel at 0 PSI of boost pressure 5. Full fuel at 0 PSI of boost pressure These setting holds true for both Edge Comp and Edge Juice products except the Juice has a different place for the sublevel. Edge Comp you hold the power switch for 2-3 seconds and then release then the sub-level will be displayed for the main level you last had set. The level bars will blink in a quick frequency. Now you can adjust the sublevel turn the power off and back on to enable the new setting.
