Map and AIT
No need to clean either sensor makes zero difference in the operation. Being I've got a Quadzilla tuner I can watch both the ECT and IAT at start up and if they match the IAT is working fine. As for the MAP sensor its not accurate by any means below 20-25 PSI its good but above that the number skews quite a bit being I supposedly maxed out at 69 PSI of boost even when my max is 45 PSI back with the HX35/40 Hybrid. Hence why the old article is gone because it makes zero difference if the IAT is oily or not.

Just another thought is contacting a pest control company and maybe they have something that will work better. Possibly relocate you problem animal.

One of the down sides to the circuit breaker because of the high current flow during jump starting its possible to trip the 150A breaker. Normal operation of the truck typically it will not trip.

Own a bike? Post a pic, let's get started
Hmmm. I've got a list of motorcycles I've owned at some point. Today really I'm not interested in the past technology being it was very basic. Today's technology in motorcycles is much improved but the style of bike I would ride isn't produced. Not much for racing styles or wanna be Harleys. I miss my V45 Honda, kind of a blend of daily driver but sporty.

1983 Goldwing GL1100
Both head were done for surfacing and valve seals. New cam belt and timing is dead one on the cams. Radiator was rodded out and like new. New water pump. Carburetors rebuilt. Ignition timing is electronic no adjustments in the base plate (rear of engine). Check timing with a timing light and it in time. Still tips the coolant gauge at 240°F on 50°F day. I've got autometer gauge set hooked up. Now at 32°F outside it will stay about 200°F. I've not fired this up in years.

Semiannual Sierra Nevada camping
I've got a few tasks to complete. I've got to clear the yard of all my standing jobs. Then get the RV wheel bearings replaced and packed with grease. I've got a brake hose for Beast and got to flush the brake system. Beyond that I should be good to pack up and roll south.

Holy crap moment!
Nope. I just use a mayo jar and bleed them that way no need for the ABS pump and never had any issues using my method on any vehicle yet.

Thoughts?
Actually I love my older truck now. Easy to repair and wouldn't want a new truck. Just a bigger target for thieves. Being the older truck with a few body issues most don't want to mess with it. Something new looking and fresh it will be a target fast.

Angry & can't do it anymore, serious iQuad timing issues
If there is no wire tap then that whole section is not used. Another thing level 0, 1, 2, and 3 are not using wire tap section either.
-
Holy crap moment!
Front right brake hose is opened up and leaking. Easy fix and need to bleed the system anyways...

Fuel pressure issue, works but doesn't.
So the ECM is relay protected. Be aware the lift pump ground and fuel heater ground is behind the starter.

What shocks are you running and why?
I had the experience of installing two sets of bilstein shocks. In neither vehicle i was not impressed. Stiff ride. But that's what customers want. Me I'll most like go back to Ranchos 5100 being the lasted so long, never leaked oil and softer ride. When you off road then you want softer shocks not stiff.

Must be LOUD. I've got a few that are loud and when animals can't sleep they move on.

What shocks are you running and why?
That is one thing about KYB shocks they are not super stiff. That one part about Bilstein shocks being they are charged with more pressure makes for super bumpy ride especially like washboard dirt roads. A softer shock is much better and doesn't beat you to death. Both the Rancho 5100 lasted a super long time and the KYB are going good too no excessive bounce at all. I've got KYB on both Thor and Beast.

Fuel pressure issue, works but doesn't.
Washer shim... I got a few small washers that don't restrict flow but just tightens up that spring a bit more. I just the same on my AirDog since the fuel pressure was sliding off a bit so I tweaked the spring a bit and then reassembled and got 18-19 PSI no issues.
-
What shocks are you running and why?
I ran Rancho 5100 for over 200k miles no issues. Now I've got KYB's and still doing good. I just don't see the money for Bilsteins shocks they are not that good in my opinion.

Holy crap moment!
@Doubletrouble I think you bad luck is rubbing off on me. I had a friend show up and noticed my brake fluid is very low. Now it snowing and I've gotta figure out where the fluid is going.

Transmission temp all over the place
Remember I got that sensor in the oil filter housing to measure the engine oil temp.

Gears,Tires, & Effective Ratio
With the early version of 215/85 R16 for one tons. Both 215 and 245 are 30 inch tires.

Gears,Tires, & Effective Ratio
98.5 to 2002 typically was 265's but when my door sticker was 245/75 R16. Still in all I count from 265's.

Intermittent Surging and ECT
That is a stellar looking engine harness. Could you possibly tell me what you paid for that service? Being up here the ranchers tend to butcher the electrical and sometimes the only way to fix it is to just pull the wiring out and let @Auto Computer Specialistdeal with it. After seeing that above I'm sold... Very professional looking.
