Truck got stolen this morning.....I'm lost
Not to hijack your thread but to give information on securing you stuff...Like here in Idaho we always had a low crime rate. Once in awhile a kid from the school will steal cigarettes from the store or something stupid. We'll as the economy has gone down around here and the drug use has gone up. I've gotten worried hence why the locked gate, barbed wire fence, even the hitches of both trailers are locked. Both truck are kept inside the garages locked up (house locked and truck locked). I want to give myself all the time in the world to grab a pistol and let the dog out. Yeah I know it only takes a few seconds to steal a truck. I've got a slim jim in the shop for unlocking vehicle when requested by owners. I can typically pop a Dodge lock in under 60 seconds. So keeping this in mine I want as many barrier between me and the outside world that make my place loock like "Don't bother just too much work to steal something."I'm truly sorry you had to loose a vehicle to some slimly person that has most likely a drug / alcohol habit and is broke so they steal anything and everything to keep the habit. But hopefully my words are helpful to you when and if you get your truck back you can secure what you got.

BHAF Question....
Exhaust change not required. I'm still running 3" pipe. Remember the only time exhaust upgrades are needed for reducing EGT's and increasing flow is when your WOT going down a 1/4 mile strip. If your driving with economy in mind then there is very little boost and very little EGT's anyways so increasing exhaust is not going to change MPG's. There is a lot of market hype for large exhaust and intake tubes. But for MPG mode its not needed. But now if your doing quarter mile or dyno queens then yes it would be best for a upgrade.

Give the man a cigar. I had to look twice and sure enough it is I70 up north of me... There are some really people up there.

Injector swap question
I've done that method but you really got to be careful with the line not to bend them. Also getting the crossover tubes out is a bit tough at times.

Slow oil pressure on start up
What oil filter are you using? You might find that some brands of oil filter have a drain back valve in the filter.

Frantz filter install question
Take a pan of water and boil it on the stove and heat the hose up for about 1 minute and slip it right on the barb fitting no problem. Another way is to put the fitting on the floor and push straight down on to it. Let your body mass do the work.

Help with crankshaft sensor removal.
Hmmm... Drill a small hole in it to try to hook it and pull it back out. :think:When you install the new one make sure to put lots of anti-seize on it.

Good question?

Wait till you throw it on 5x5. It a whole new animal. I'm playing with 5x3 and the torque curve is so aggressive now that a soon as the turbo lights so do the tires in 2nd and 3rd gears. :burnout2:DieselAutoPower has always been the best vendor with the best price I've seen.

Smokeless tuning
John, have you heard anything about UDC for 2nd gens? Ive not seen anything from Mads about the possibility of this, but I sure would love it if they did! The difference between Juice and Comp is toyz and gauges. The tune software is the same. 5 Main levels with 5 sublevels (3 defuel and 2 power).

Screening mouse access in Cirrus...
Wow. Back to the chasing mice again. There has to be something you could put up inside the HVAC or cowling that would deter mice from wanting to enter. I know the screen idea. There has to be something out there mice absolutely hate that you could put in the vents or something.

Firewood
Ok Gang... I've got a video clip of MoparMom stacking firewood. Now before you press play on the video remember this is a TIME LAPSE video and you might want to put down you coffee cup or beverage before you do. Things might get rather messy for your computer. Also I was on the other side of the pile creating a second huge pile of firewood so I was out of the video mostly. Oh yeah that trailer holds 1.5 cords to the top of the boards. http://youtu.be/V78Cs1W0jsM

Smokeless tuning
Well I know my truck came factory with 265's but I still thing they are oversized. Like my door tag shows I'm suppose to have 245's for a stock tire. Just like my 96 Dodge shows it stock size is 245's as well but came with 235's. But still in all 265's are just heavier than I need for my application.Yes. The Edge Comp modifies the ECM signals for timing and fueling based on boost pressure. So its modified through the CANBus an the wire tap. This is where I would love to have EFI Live or Smarty to make corrections to the timing more so than fueling.

Crank Case vented to unused fuel filter housing?
I gather concrete... :doh:Yeah then I would consider it. Like I got to spray a little Zep on the floor of the shop and run a mop over the spot.

Bleeding two fuel lines?
That might be true but the fact the fuel is already pre-heated on the manifold all it needs is a spark to ignite the fuel. You would have a nice un-hood fire. Personally I don't like the idea of diesel fuel pre-heated to 180-190*F which is well above flash point waiting to be ignited.
