Tuning
The only time the adjust on the fly is really needed for me is heading up canyon in the dead of winter. I might start with clear roads and leave the Edge cranked up. Then when I get to the snow line I can adjust the power to keep grip. There is another problem with any flash type modules. After many, many flashes adjusting up and down constantly it will wear out the EPROM module in the ECM. I'm not sure of the count but its rather high. Where wired module doesn't have this issue.

Time to change the anti freeze
Well I bit south of you and I get the cheap ol' WalMart and mix it 50/50 without a issue all the way down to -25*F and no problems in 10 years of ownership. I don't get wrapped up in claims of coolant performance. Oh yeah I'm pretty sure Prestone makes SuperTech Coolant like PennzOil makes SuperTech Engine Oil's.

Fuel psi from 20 to 13 psi???
Air Dog with quick connects are prone to suction air leaks. :rolleyes:Change you plumbing back to old school JIC and Pushloc's and most of the problems go away.

911 help!!! Clutch slave problems
Dripley is right the whole unit has to be removed and bled hanging vertical to remove all air.

Tuning
One of the few reason I will not buy a Edge Juice or Quadzilla Adrenaline because when the unit dies it takes everything with gauges and all now left blind for critical engine info. I rather always suggest gauges and separate module.

Fuel psi from 20 to 13 psi???
There is a restriction some where for sure. Old School AirDog 150.. Center gauge. As you see it get down to 15 maybe a bit lower but not much. 2-3 PSI fall is typically for mine. Now I'm set for 19 @ Idle and 17 @ WOT. Now on the return trip I suck air bubble pressure will fall out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grl72Up-8T0

Tires.. Your $.02?
You could opt to change to 235/85 R16 and save a few buck on tires. They are the same size tire height wise but about 1.5 smaller in width. The attachment is 265's vs 235's...

NV4500 Woes ? what is going on ?
203K miles on my trans and zero problem using solely the Mopar Trans fluid and changing every 100K miles. As for my clutch I broke the hub on my stock clutch at 150K miles. Now the South Bend Con OFE is holding good. As for mountain road travel I've got no issues with that. I can travel up and down just about any Idaho grade without using my service brakes. Like right now driving about 90-110 miles one way for SAR's duty in the middle of nowhere Idaho climbing mountain road. Even hauling firewood I've got no problems. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh7lOJLD948 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDjMzmV4bbw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0yjDv8Slkw

black diesel fuel
One problem which filter will not correct is ash content. Black diesel is very high in ash content and will eventually plug up the injectors. As ash is burn it leaves a ash crusty deposits on the piston tops and injector tips. Same applies to running ATF too... Engine oil are not like previous years. Even Cummins would only allow up to a MAX of 5%.

oil pressure
No one caught on to the fact that the oil pressure gauge is not actual pressure right? Being you can modify the gauge reading by fooling the ECT sensor is not a true reading. More or less a dummy gauge or dummy light.I actually tested my oil pressure with a mechanical gauge it doesn't vary when the ECT is flip.

MPG's Reports
In 3 days of working on the SAR's group I've travelled 480 some odd miles and so far holding about 21 MPG and that's with driving 60 MPH on the highway to and from the SAR's post plus climbing mountain and driving mountain roads at 25-35 MPH.

First Time Towing
:lmao2:I was the same way... It was a Mopar or No Car man for long time even drove older Dodge Trucks for ever. But always though diesel is slow, stinky, etc. Well now I hate to fire up the 96 Dodge Ram Gasser because is much weaker in power compared to the 02 Dodge Cummins. Now I tend to drive the Cummins more for the towing, hauling, and wonderful fuel mileage over the gasser...

Time to switch hats again...
Technically... Yes I'm packing my 9mm Star pistol. As a matter of fact yesterday evening I got pulled to the side by the USFS LEO. Questioning the fact of my carrying a pistol in fire camp. I was told at my initial briefing through the Sheriff Office that SAR's could carry a side arm on the job. Well after than I packed my supplies for the night and headed for my post up Fish Creek to Four Corners again. Once I got there I talked with the Idaho Co. LEO on duty at the time and he told me none of the SAR's could not carry. Huh!? Ok. So no biggy toss the pistol on the center console and went to work. After about 9:30 (21:30) the road got very quiet and the fire crew where gone. Killer! Chase and I sat and talked trucks for hours it seemed until the air got cold. Chase looks at me and says "Hey you want to watch a movie?" Hell yeah! He fired up the laptop plugged in a DVD and we go comfy in his truck. (Ford 7.3L) About 11:00 (23:00) I was nodding off... Time to haul over to my truck and nap. Set the alarm on the cell for 12 midnight (00:00) and drifted off to sleep. I kept doing half hour alarms to keep me from sleeping to deep and not hearing the Radio. Well about 1:30am I got up to eat. Cold I mean cold! (38*F) Tried reading a book for hour or so couldn't do it. Back to half hour alarms again. Well 5:30am rolls around and wake up. Still colder than ______ out. So I pulled myself together and got my paperwork done in the dim of the morning. Expecting the commander to call us out... WRONG! He left his post and no one came so I had to roll out to post to find no LEO there. Ok. Still not a biggy... The relief crew came in just about on time. So Chase and I left and headed for ICP. Knowing I got to pick up my buddy in Grangeville... Here what sucks. I get to Grangeville, ID and my buddy James is nowhere to be seen. Well I knew he's out on Hungry Ridge holding his post which is farther out. Hour goes by... Ok. Finally I see a fellow SAR's member and she is pissed off. Also come to find out as long as I'm a concealed wepaon permit holder and working with SAR's I permitted to carry at all times after to talking with my fellow SAR's member. Come to find out the schedule had a error in it she was called at 8:30am to cover Hungry Ridge. I knew it would take her 1 hour to drive in and relief my buddy James and another hour for them to get out. Needless to say radios helped a bunch they transfer in flight. So a hour later James shows in Grangeville. Headed for home... I got home at 12:10pm. Thankfully I don't have duty tonight or I would of came home and left 2 1/2 hours later... (Thank you Lord! ) So I get to sleep at home tonight! YEAH!

Time to switch hats again...
I did a video log of my first night... I don't have the time to process it now. I'm bushed and tired... But I'm long ways from home approx. 90 miles to the check point. Only action we had was a car load of teen aged girl that drove all the way back there at about 1am to go look at the fire... Geez... Parents be smart keep your kids at home.

Time to switch hats again...
Well gang... I'm signed up and waiting for my order to come to me tonight from the commander. I'm going to most likely be working the night shift from 6pm to 6am holding a road closed in the Sheep fire. http://www.inciweb.org/incident/maps/3240/0/ Basically my duty will be to keep all unauthorized personnel out of the fire like hunters and firewood cutters. I will be working directly with Idaho County Sheriff Office in Grangeville, ID. So from this point on gang I will not be available for phone information you'll have to contact ISX or any of the other members here that are willing to aid you in you issues. Thank you for being understanding...

POP testing Injectors?
I been doing 30 ft pound where mine broke at.

Got Wood??
As for the thread title no I don't have wood... I'm only got 6 of my 9 cords now and think I got maybe another cord unsplit... As for adding the chimney on top you going to regret it. I've got a extra 1 foot of chimney and it a absolute pain in the arse. That exposed 1 foot of pipe plugs up because its not insulated but the original chimney liner so I got to keep 800-900*F of pyrometer temp to keep that top 1 foot clean because at 0*F the top 1 foot of chimney is luke warm when the stove is huffing at 1,200 to 1,400*F. You might reconsider you exposed chimney height.

POP testing Injectors?
I got a set of RV275 injector right now that are way past replacement (400K+ miles). Like I'm getting a random misfire again as the weather cools all I got to do is pull them clean them and re-install them again I know they would work good again... But I'm not sure I want to keep have to clean injectors because there plum wore out.
