Southbend Con OFE here...But remember if you have oversized tires the amount of torque will be higher at the flywheel than the wheels. Hence why I'm running smaller tires so the tires will spin before the clutch slips.

You want the 3/4" for boost. The 1/2" is for coolant temp...

It really hard to cool VP44 electronics when the electronics are wrap in plastic on 3 side and the bottom side facing the fuel is aluminium. Like I found as long as you keep the fuel pressure between 14-20 PSI the electronics stay happy while running. Now as for when you park you truck. It meaningless kind of. Like taking a laptop computer and tossing in in the back seat on a hot summers day and locking up the truck. The cab of the truck will get to 130-140*F easy. The laptop will feel no harm as long as if left off. Now if you fire up the truck the fuel will start flowing instantly cooling the electronics so there is very little time the electronics would operate in a heated environment. But if the fuel system wasn't able to get above 14 PSI it like turning on that laptop inside the truck at 130-140*F that will kill a VP44 or Laptop.Everyone assumes Idaho has mild summer and super cold winters... Just yesterday we made 90*F here at the house and it most likely 100*F in Riggins, ID. Nothing new here. I've seen days of 120*F in Riggins, ID... :wow:My VP44 is closing into 150K miles and still going strong...

Drain all your coolant and just remove the cooler from the side of the block.That why I don't really think it the oil cooler right off because the coolant should of been leaking first before the oil. But I could be wrong...

2003 to current date have solenoid on top or Common Rail Injectors...

I was out studying up some more and ran across this little article that is spot on for newbies that want to transfer over to Ubuntu Linux but are scared here read this article... http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/a-home-users-successful-migration-strategy-from-windows-to-ubuntu/

Here is my setup... Then here is a video about setting it up... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=M33ZCc8b-7Q Grease gun line will not protect against water hammer but the needle valve will... Snubbers or OK but tend to see some failures yet because some snubber tend to be drill to big. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl2pa7pmES4 * AirDog 150 * Edge Comp set to kill (5x5) * BHAF * Straight piped 3" Exhaust * Stock HX35 turbo * IAT fooler set to 143*F * RV275 Injectors The biggest killer is speed the faster you travel the worse it gets... Large tires will degrade MPG's I'm running 235/85 R16

+12 Volt battery lead is just a direct single wire to the battery with a fuse.+12 Volt switched lead is using a relay to trigger power from a second wire from the battery with a fuse.Panel lighting is a tapped lead into the radio adapter I'm using for my Kenwood MP3 player.Ground lead is of course a lead back to the ground terminal on the battery.As for gauge size and fuses...10 AWG = 55 Amps12 AWG = 40 Amps14 AWG = 30 Amps16 AWG = 20 Amps18 AWG = 15 Amps20 AWG = 10 Amps22 AWG = 5 AmpsSo typically people wire with 16 AWG wire so you use a 20 amp fuse for your main bus lines to the battery.

Talk to JL Welding he's welder on the site with lots of good tools... :smart:Then you might try Prowelder but I've not seen him in a coons age...

This is my way...Use a terminal block for attaching all your accessories in one spot. Like in this old picture...Top down..1. +12V Battery2. +12V Switchwed3. Panel lighting (not shown)4. Ground

You must be talking about the oil cooler? Or is it the turbo drain line down lower?

I don't think your going to see much change really... I know there is dual intake horn setup I think by BD that has a new intake manifold plate and 2 intake horns. Also I think it only works on 12V's... But this idea would get better flow than spool aid... http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQd4PM3U3P85luNJBKAn3Y3sp-NdCOP7cUvionszlgGGpBK4hI_z4tfKcE0

Riggins, ID is at $3.929... Little drop...

If it was me I would replace all the tubing under the hood with new vinyl tubing from a hardware store and not look back.

Not really there is no way to access the vacuum lines unless you pull the dash back in the passenger side. Sorry John...

Thank you...

You hit the nail on the head exactly. Plenty of firewood, nice warm fire, big cup of hot coffee, and my internet family. Shovelling snow is what keeps me in shape through the winter time. Then I plow the driveways out for my neighbor and I. Then I might get phone call to go find a lost soul in the woods that went out hunting or hiking. I only visit the big cities for supplies and good I need to keep the homestead going. So all summer long we dart in and out of Boise and Ontario picking up supplies so when the weather get foul and cold we just sit back and enjoy watching mother nature blanket the valley in white.

That's perfect temp!

(Phone call placed to Rogan about ScanGauge II)

Yea! For Rogan!

Not much for us as 24V trucks... As for the future I'm uncertain they might get more programming for it. But its nice to rig up custom XGauges for you own purposes. Remember ScanGauge II can be used in any vehicle so there is a full list of different gauges for others... http://www.scangauge.com/support/x-gauge-commands/

Your giving me way too much credit there CSM... You claim I'm a wizard with these trucks... Maybe in your eyes but I'm just a lowly Cummins owner just like everyone else here. I don't have any certification in diesel engines. Its just that with all my conversation with hundreds if not thousands of people I've learned a few tricks. But in all reality it the family member here that have the brains. You guys and gals that have fought to the bitter end to solve problems and share your answers with the family here are the ones that are wizards. So all you take a bow because it's this crazy little family that pulls it together and figures out how to solve those problems!

Kind of like me going to Boise, ID or Ontario, OR. The roads all the way down to Weiser, ID is kind and courteous people that allow you out on the highway and yield to you even though the don't have too. But it seem once I get past Weiser, ID into Payette and Fruitland, ID everything goes out the window. Now my old school California training kicks in and the lead brick is installed in the right foot. Now this time I'm glad I have 400 HP to get my truck rolling even when I'm 52 foot long. :burnout2:But like today I had to run to Riggins, ID to do a A/C job and set the cruise for 55 MPH kick back and enjoy the ride. No one around, no traffic, no problems...

Lot of times I just turn if all off and just roll down the windows too... Because 90% of the time when you get on a Idaho dirt road you will go up hill into the mountain where its cooler so save the fuel and enjoy the cooler air.
