What your fuel pressure like idle and WOT (@ highway speed)?Any error codes?Basically you need to insure your fuel system is top notch...

I think you hit it right there with the springs...

It a bleed hole. Mine are the exact same design... The center hole vents out the side of the injector to the return rail. So basically you have trapped pressure on the upper side of the needle pressing it closed even harder than the spring hence its desire to stall. Kind of how the CR injector works.

I'll have to double check that. I didn't notice anything right off but I'll look into it.

Good video to explain common rail injectors... At 2:23 you'll see how the valve action purges the upper pressure and causes the injector to fire. But when a injector is wore out from debris that seat that it seals to will be pitted and will leak causing the injector to fire constantly or to hang.So like the rest have said this is where the engine damage comes from. (Picture below NOT VIDEO).So as you ran with extended filter change you were most likely passing debriss through this seat and wore it out.

Ok gang... I've now got one I need to research and figure out. I've got a random front end popping noise that is hard to reproduce. Like I seem to be able to reproduce it the most getting in the driveway because of a few tight turns I've got to make and you can feel the pop in the floor on the drivers side. I jacked up the front end and looked everything over the best I could and didn't find any damaged parts. Last fall [*]Ball joints [*]Track bar Last summer [*]Wheel bearings Steering is tight and good condition but there is a good pop when it does it. Now the only thing I did find is the driver side fender is torn loose from the body in 2 places. So I'm wondering if the body flexing is causing the fender pop against the body metal?

Well join the crowd... We have creek forming behind the house in a ravine. Rivers are all up but we are still holding our own. http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=mso&gage=rigi1

So looking at the video at 45 Amps draw he's creating 6-8 liters. Now consider how much of that fuel energy has to go back to power the load of the alternator? Also consider how much air the truck is inhaling at 55-65 MPH? (5-8 PSI of boost)This is a simple fact of science you cannot get energy from nothing. So 99% of the time the alternator load is going to out weigh the production HHO gas and what it supplies back. I tired to find a old thread about this... But what it came down to is the load place on the engine was always greater than the energy produced by the HHO gas.

Check the sector adjustment on the steering box? Do you have worn steering parts? Suspension problems?

The problem... You going to use a high amount of amperage to create enough HHO to make it worth while but in the same token your adding more load on the engine creating said fuel so are you gaining anything? http://www.hhokitsdirect.com/big_hydrogen_generator.php http-~~-//youtu.be/82OOCmIW3MY

Welcome to the family... Does it have troubles starting cold? I wonder if you have a failing injector(s)? I know this didn't help it... That might of caused more harm than good. Todays fuel systems are expected to run on this low lubricity fuel and expected to keep all the injectors and pump lubed up and working properly. Adding injectors cleaners tend to make this worse not better. But I would check for error codes and simple stuff to see if there is something simple you can replace like a sensor or a part of the fuel system.

Good to get it now and let it cure... I'm going to be in the same process as soon as I can get into the high country...

Please do a write up for both when you get to doing them... Please!

Well the next step would be go to a dealer and have them run the DRBIII tool on it and see if they can spot the network failure...

Where my trailer goes in the back country that kind of skirt would never last on mine. @AH64ID... As for the Water tank accumulator are you building your own or are you buying a small one and installing? A/C hard start capacitor, SPP6E what is this going to do?

I'm going to hit you up for a sthl chainsaw manual...

Welcome... To the site...

Even my truck the speedometer is off by 0.5 MPH with stoock tires... My ScanGauge II or GPS is correct for speed and distance where the stock is slightly off.

Some do go bad and some last a very long time... 195K and still going...

Here is the 2002 Dodge 2500 Cummins... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRQdoPs_tLo Here is the 1996 Dodge 1500 Magnum V8... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I7JOW3tFUo [*]Speed - Keep your speed down. Going from 55 to 65 MPH your wind drag doubles! [*]Drag - Brakes, low tire pressure, driveline damage. [*]Rolling Resistance - Wider tread face will decrease MPG because of more rolling resistance. [*]Rotational Mass - Smaller and lighter tires have less rotational mass. For every 4 pounds of tire mass you require 1 HP less to keep rolling. So just changing from 265's to 235's can be a huge bonus (23 HP less).

P1689 could be from the VP44 being un-hooked. I would clear it and take it for a ride and see if the code comes back. If not is just a fluke...

I'm still hold it together... Family keep growing and we all keep helping each other...

Hey long time no see... Welcome to the family...

Another secret to get the bearings out of the knuckle is easy using the steering to push the bearing out. Beware it can break sockets if done wrong but it will push out the bearing really easy.Place the socket on the bolt and using proper amount of extensions wedge it between different spots on the axle. Have a buddy turn the steering wheel for ya. Engine doesn't have ot be running either.

I split up good big chunks that bare fit through the door and the I cut up "Woman Wood" the small stuff that only women would pick up. I've done the same thing here get a chunk almost in the door of the stove and get wedged up and give it a shift kick and slam the door shut... :rolleyes:Then there is a few chunks that are just half rounds for the fireplace which will take 4 foot long logs... But since thats just over kill I just split a few manly pieces for it.
