I use Mobil One 15w-40 all the way down to -25*F with no ill effects.High idle in 3 cylinder mode I can have 100*F of coolant temp in 3 minutes.No problem.

For my truck its 2-4 MPG difference... I just rolled in the yard from 300+ miles trip at 23.7 MPG (If I remember correctly it's late I'm tired...)

Update just got back from Ontario, OR and Nampa, ID doing some shopping... 199,277 Miles... :thumbup2:200K milestone is a coming!

IAT sensor tells the ECM/VP44 what the air density is like and temperature so the calculated timing can be adjusted accordingly...Oh Russ... Since the weather is so hot I back to the IAT for the time... I still reaching 23-24 MPG and IAT is 130-140*F typically running around here with 100-110*F temperatures outside.

Well I'm not fond of doing that but it will work in a pinch... I suggest cleaning the pulley well and replacing the belt. Most times you find the belt is glazed and would pull the torque any longer.

:banghead: That's what the Cummins is for...

I normally grab a NAPA belt toss it on. Visual inspections till the crack start showing up. Then replacement.

Raptors are a bit more prone to problems because of lack of pre-filter ahead of the pump so if there was some debris in might of bound up the pump and blew the fuse typically.

It sux doing A/C jobs in Riggins, ID and its 101*F in the shade and then hanging over a 200*F engine sweating your off.

Congrads... Two or three more to go and your up with me... But I'm not knocking the 20-21 MPG your getting now that excellent for a Cummins CR engine...

Up there with all the Quackers...

The best suggestion I go is if you got a aftermarket stereo you might have the adapter plug in place too if so the pigtail of the panel lighting will be available. Then you could hook in there and run you a-pillar gauge from that lead with no issues.

Thanks Muddy for the info...

Check the vacuum line on the engine side just above the exhaust pipe common for the vacuum line to sag down and get melted on the pipe. Just worked on a 2001 Dodge yesterday with the very same issue.

I bought a swivel style heater core from a local part store and having zero issues with it. As for the old school brass heater core mine had failed at the solder joint between the tube and the head of the tank. Starting to weep (vibration damage). So the swivel style is fine...

Nope... Well below 200*F always... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvTDLZ80Fnw

How about $40 bucks.. http://www.alligatorperformance.com/gauge-mechanical-fuel-pressure-black-p-1678.html

I see someone been bit by the Juice bug...

Whitebird ridge road. About 4 miles from the house. The grade is short but very steep.Advance to 4:00 till about 5:00 and watch... This is the grade... You climb nearly 1,000 feet in a short distance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXInW5VnOF8

Cummins got a vacation during the period of high diesel prices and I got the gasser tuned in. So all winter I was driving the 96... Now with diesel at or nearly the same price as gas I'm back in the Cummins...

Just at the bottom of the dash about the transfer case lever.

Head toward 200K quickly...

I also run a Edge Comp and keep it set on 5x5. Very controllable, it does smoke don't get me wrong but when a slight learning curve you can drive smokeless. Then with the other little mods I've done I'm reach good solid 20+ MPG without think most days. * BHAF* AirDog 150* RV275 injectors* IAT / MPG Fooler (Set to 143*F)* Edge Comp Tapped and set for 5x5The thing I like about Edge Comp over all other products. The fact you DON'T have all your eggs in on basket. Then the Edge Comp give you the ability for adjusting fuelling rates for you road conditions. That's about the only time I start dropping the settings on the Edge Comp is in the winter time to allow the truck to gain traction. 25 levels of adjustment so I'm sure you'll find a setting for your conditions. As for gauges you've got to to supply your own which is a good thing. I've seen so many times where Edge Juice screws up and wipes out the gauges and may or may not still have performance. At least with my setup if a lose a gauge its just 1 gauge... I can replace it for much less than the whole Edge Juice. Edge Comp has no toyz, alarm or limits... This good too. This means less stuff the box has to tap into and less things to go wrong. Most times out of ten people mis-set the alarms and limits features wrong and end up with a box that is doggy on the upper end way too early. Edge Comp is so simple that it only has 8 wires total coming out of the the box. (Power -/+, MAP, CAN-BUS, pump tap) that's it! Very simple unit, very small, but very powerful! :thumb1:As for programmer like Smarty or SuperChips why they are limited to 60-65 HP. This simple because all a programmer does is change the existing fuel to boost tables around but never extends the table past 20 PSI. So even though the ECM has boost fooling now there is no data to support fuelling past 20 PSI in the ECM this why they come up short on the upper end for power. Like also listening in on some of AH64ID posting I've also learn there is a limit of how many time yo can flash a ECM before the PROM becomes unstable / unusable. This number is in the thousands but it still a risk that your taking with a ECM.Where the Programmers come up short the wire tapped products fill the gap. Because now after the boost exceeds the 20 PSI mark the enhancement box has fuelling tables the 20+ PSI of boost and uses the CAN-BUS and the wire tap to control the VP44 with the enhanced fuelling table. This is why I always suggest a product that taps the pump because now you have a wider range of control over the VP44 over a non-tapped product like a programmer.

Not bad... Just take your time.But we do have grades out here that are posted for 16%... :whistle:That would be a bit scary without a exhaust brake.
