Stuck Idle problem
+50 HP are custom made. So yes they are pop tested and flow matched. You'll also find the +50 Hp are typically a bit cheaper the RV275.

Winter weather - What do you see where your at?
...VERY COLD TEMPERATURES EXPECTED OVER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND... ESPECIALLY SATURDAY MORNING... Skies will clear and temperatures will become very cold late Friday night into Saturday morning. Low temperatures in the valleys are expected to be from around 5 above zero to 10 below zero, with mountains generally in the 5 below zero to 20 below zero range. Sunday will be not be as cold, but most locations will be in the 5 above to 5 below zero range in the morning. Fortunately, most winds will stay below 10 mph during the coldest periods. However, the Camas Prairie will have dangerous wind chills down to 35 below zero Saturday morning, with a significant risk of frostbite. Other areas will have lighter winds and will not be quite so cold, but even light winds can lead to frostbite at those temperatures.

Ummm... Well Beast is only 438k miles and Thor is only 238k miles. Must be thinking @dripley being he's been to the moon and back.

I prefer the A-pillar with ISSPro EV2 gauges because the EV2 are USB programmable and you can set the warning light to any values you want. Adjust needle movement being more accurate or more averaged and smooth. Quadzilla display I only look at it for tuning purposes so typically I don't have the display running. But the ISSPro gauge warning light make it super nice because you can tell what is wrong but level on the a-pillar. I though of adding a tweak and getting the relay option for the gauges and I could tap the cluster possibly and hook them in so when the warning lights popped it would set the light and chime the central timer. Now that would be super cool.

22*F out this morning and snowing really fine powder. Then getting ready at about 10am to head to Lucile to work.

Stuck Idle problem
I'm running DAP's 150 HP (7 x 0.010) VCO Injectors popped to 320 bar. With these injectors, Quadzilla Adrenaline with my Economy Tune I broke my old high mark and topped out at 28.04 MPG. Just this last summer.

Do yourself the favor and opt for +50 HP injectors over the Bosch RV275's. At least you can get a custom built injector set that is flow matched and within a small margin for tolerance. Just really sucks to dump in more money for Bosch stock injectors that are 6 random injectors. Like another member here just got a bad batch of RV275's that popped at 220 to 260 bar. I would also suggest the Quadzilla over the Edge EZ. Way better control of timing and fuel parameters over the EZ that is just a dumb box tuner that can't really be adjusted to meet your needs of good economy and/or performance. Hua... Well I've been doing more mobile work lately running all over the local area handling broke down vehicles or trucks that didn't start. I'd love to hang that up and do more the web work than travel work being its barely 16*F right now and going down to near zero tonight. Sucks to start your morning fighting the ice and cold. Ugh...

Better fuel mileage with a Dodge/Cummins truck
All I can say is give DAP a call after the holidays and see with the gang there has to say.

Better fuel mileage with a Dodge/Cummins truck
The other way is to get your hands on a Smarty S-03 programmer and then flash one tune to the truck and then return to stock and your done. The high idle software is left on as a freeble. https://www.dieselautopower.com/smarty-s-03-rental-sr-s03a As from DAP's site...

I'm curious too. Scratchging my head the only other vendor I use but don't exactly support is RockAuto... (Guessin')

Stuck Idle problem
Yup I kind of figured. The high idle and the engine load of ZERO. Again the pop pressure was so low it could not cut enough to idle slow enough. Like I said go to someone like @dieselautopower for injectors and then you can specify anything you wish. Size, nozzle type (VCO vs. SAC), pop pressure changes, etc. But all in all the injectors are built in house and pop tested and flow match before leaving.

Stuck Idle problem
Something is wrong even here being the engine load is zero. Even all the trucks I've worked on always showed at least 7% to 15% depending on size and pop pressure. Even my 2002 it idles at 13% still to this day. Now you mention Bosch RV275 injectors these are some that I don't suggest because they are 6 random injectors pulled and boxed up. There is no flow matching or pop testing to bring them into small percentage of margin. I typically would rather suggest 50 HP custom made at least you know all the injectors are tested, flow match and within small percentage of error..

Stuck Idle problem
Ok... So the APPS is replaced and now lets move on to other topics. So I guess you have factory stock injectors yet? How many miles on the injectors? Another way to look at this problem is hook up a live data tool with the truck warmed up complete and monitor the engine load if its 3% or lower to ZERO then your injectors are wore out and the ECM is attempting to cut fuel as deep as it can but since the injectors are popping too early and there is no longer any more control the ECM can try to pull the RPM's down. Second way to test this is to remove all six injectors and have the injectors pop tested typically about $15 a injector about $90 to test all six injectors. Solution to this is replacing all six injectors. Like I said you can verify with a live data tool and check the engine load at idle warmed up. Pop pressures in Bar (PSI) 280 (4,061) and lower - Typically the idle is rising and the Engine load is zero. 293 (4,249) - Bottom end of allowed by Dodge FSM 300 (4,351) - Some performance injectors are popped this low to aid to flow. 305 (4,423) - Fairly common pop pressure used by performance injectors. 310 (4,500) - Stock Injector pressure 320 (4,641) - Personally what I run on my truck to aid in fine mist spray and MPG. 327 (4,742) - High end of Dodge FSM allowed pop pressure 330 (4,786) and higher - Possible hard starting in the winter time.

Radiator leak
So even having once doesn't guarantee your immune to the virus. Then on top you both got 3 rounds of the vaccines that shows it doesn't work at all. Taken quite awhile getting there but at least you have your radiator and it is undamaged.

Stuck Idle problem
Normal. Even "Beast" runs as high as 1,100 RPM's as you clutched in and rolling to a stop and then closer to a stop it drops down on the idle software to 800 RPM. This is a manual set up I'm talking about but since you don't have any info in your signature on the truck its a guess. When the APPS sensor is in the IDLE MODE (Idle Validation Switch) then the ECM is in full control of the idle speeds as it rolling. Now if the APPS sensor is having issues and stuck in THROTTLING MODE then the idle could be inherently high because the ECM can't reach the idle mode. Have you adjusted voltage on the APPS sensor? (Hopefully not... ) This explains much much more about the APPS sensor.

Ford 300 build wrapping up.
I'm always impressed with old American Muscle of that time. Even thought it was a little 6 cylinder it nice to see engines once again without all the computers and wiring.

Ford 300 build wrapping up.
Always loved the old American truck and cars. I look at the simple design of that little Inline Six Cylinder engine. No computers, no sensors, no error codes, just engine. I'm old enough to have some of the beauties that time has forgotten by now... Then I wake up open a modern day hood and all I want to do is cry and slam the hood down.

Quadzilla with an HO motor
Not really... Like I've mention once in the past post as you add boost pressure and figure the cylinder pressures could be as high as 1,100 PSI. Compression isn't going to make any huge difference, consider the engine alone create 400 to 450 on a compression test. Then add 30 PSI of boost on top and reach 1,100 PSI roughly. There will be enough temperature to light off even low cetane. But what compression does effect is the flywheel torque value. Lower compression engines can run more boost pressure safely vs. high compression engine. Consider the early Ford IDI was 21:1 compression ratio, with no turbo.

It's awfully quiet around here.

Seal kit to what? Steering box? Vacuum pump?- It's awfully quiet around here.
So true. So what have you been up too? You have been quiet too. Hmmm?- Stuck Idle problem
Well the only other fuel related item is VP44 but that getting pricey for gambling. - PS Pump Replacement
