I had to go up and rate the thread excellent... Wow! You did a awesome job cutting that pump open to see the guts... More! I want to see more videos...

Idling doesn't count it will always warm the manifold up while idling... Like also if I use my exhaust brake I can get some really high temps too...

It more of finding what makes the better MPG than the most HP/TQ... I know with each and every truck seem to be a bit different in what it likes. So it more of a matter of monitoring the IAT temps and seeing which temp nets you the highest MPG value. Since we know you truck most likely is not going to run 1/4 miles track it going to be a daily driver right? So MPG value is going to the number to chase not the HP/TQ number. As for the rest of the system of the tube, filter, etc... There is a lot of claims of flow and such but once again you not running track so your air flows will be much less and short burst for WOT. Like my typically driving I see about 2-5 PSI of boost. I'm capable of 35 PSI but rarely need it even towing.

The lift pump has no relay... It's directly feed by the ECM... Pin 45 of the ECM stright out to the Lift pump...

But there is missed problem with cold air intakes...In any case cold air intake do bring in cold air to the engine but how cold do you really need it? Like I'm up here in Idaho and can pull my manifold temp well into the +20*F bracket on a -25*F day. I find that temps below 100*F (or 60*F weather) in the maniold tend to hurt MPG. Colder the air becomes the harder and later the fuel ignities hence why on the VP44 truck the engine rattle heavily in the cold morning because the ECM kick the advancement way up to compensate for the cold and latency of ignition.Like I found out after 2 years of studying the IAT sensor and its function... You want warmer air to promote ignition of the fuel for better MPG's. Also if you running a box like Edge or Quadzilla you'll get more timing with warmer manifold temps hence better MPG's (Confirmed from Quadzilla Techs).Like myself my IAT is permanently fixed 143*F and my MPG's are roughly 20 MPG even with winterized fuels, temps as low as 0*F to 10*F above. Also I'm running a winter front trapping warm engine heat under the hood for the BHAF to draw in. Give about a +10*F gain on the IAT temps in the manifold vs. without a winter front.Winter weather no longer has a effect on my MPG number any longer...

I find that I've got to really tighten 1, 3, 4 more than typically to stop the drooling on the manifold. :whistle:So I'm not a exception to the problem but found the magic to keeping them from leaking. But after you tighten them you might find the bleed for a day or so and then stop.

I think it come do to quality of the mixture. Place like Chevron fuel tends to measure out proper amounts of additives. Where Mom and pop fuels (generic) tend to be a bit more sloppy about it maybe adding more ethanol to it hence why its cheaper.

Ok... Now compare the IAT temps to ECT temp in the morning with a cold start... Both numbers should be exactly the same if not then the IAT most likely is failed. Yes the IAT sensor will fail within specs at time and throw a weird high temp.

It should be +40 over outside temperature roughly.

Like out here there is several station with big banner saying "No Ethanol In Our Fuel"... :rolleyes:What I'm finding out they actually do have it the fuel and sometimes high quanities. Like the local chainsaw shop warned me about the local fuel station claiming this and how many fuel related failure he's had on chainsaws. So like he told me if you want to say safe use a name brand fuel like Chevron but don't use the Mom and Pop places with may or may not have the a banner out there advertising "No Ethanol".Gasoline wise I keep about 20-25 gallons around the house for ATV, lawn mower, generators, etc. But never had a problem with fuel getting funky. I guess because I'll only buy Chevron fuels.

No back feed will occur with this setup... But your an Auto so you modify your trigger a bit differently...

All I used for mounting was a couple of chunks of angle stock and use 2 bolts from the pumpkin then used standard old tractor rubber buckets. As for the switch the manual only has the reverse switch on the shift tower. So in your case your going to have to tap into the reverse light lead and supply power to the lead. I also used a relay in setup to keep the bulb load off the reverse lights (stock) but pulled power from the trailer (+12V) lead.

Old School AirDog 150...

Hang on a sec... PCM only controls the Auto Transmission, fuel sender, and voltage regulator on the alternator. ECM controls all the engine... Fueling, sensors, etc... Then sent out over CCD network... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/26-engine-systems/74-ecm-engine-control-module Airbag is a stand alone unit it only tie is the CCD network... Instrument cluster recieves this information by CCD network.... Now remember pre 98 truck send gauge data directly to the instrument cluster...

I know there is a member here with a methanol kit I just can't remember his name at the moment... CRS! :banghead:I'm sure he'll be along anytime...

If I ever get lucky and find a VP44 core I can rip apart I would do the very same thing but its so rare to just find one laying around... But once again for bring this information to the site so others may learn...I know your going to be building a article of this right?

Some people are lucky... I must be unlucky to have a friend bring his 92 Dodge down and have it slobber at least a goot pint on the floor of my shop. That truck was defiantly not house broke... Well after getting out my tools and cussin' at it for a good 6 hours I fixed that problem (Tappet Cover Gasket) Some people get lucky and keep the oil leaks to a minimum and other are just a rolling oil well squirting it everywhere...

As for right now I know TH Racing doesn't have a current web page of products but if you give him a call I'm sure he's more than willing to discuss prices and parts with you... Does it all the time with me...

Little information about my install... When I got my AirDog 150 I need it like yesterday so I did the pump install and figured I would do the draw straw later after the trip I had to do. I found out very quickly on that trip that the AirDog 150 was choking to death on the stock pickup tube. It physically could flow the amount of fuel that the AirDog 150 could pull through it. So after I got back home from my trip which I barely kept 12 PSI for a low end number. But I dropped the fuel tank and install the old school draw straw that was included in my kit. Every since then I've never had another pressure issue related to the plumbing. Now a few times I've had problems with the regulator spring and check ball but rare. As long as I use my head and drive like a normal human I been able to draw down to 1/8 or lower with a drawstraw. Yes I see sometime the pressure gauge flops down because of sloshing air bubbles but since I've 2 cycle oil in the fuel I'm not worried about 2-5 seconds without fuel pressure. 150K on the VP44 injection pump and still going strong!

I think you got a typo... 275*F would for sure set the Trans Temp light. The factory service manual states the trans temp light will come on after 265*F... So since the fluid has been scorched I would get that changed out a few times...

Close... As for GPS elvation in the yard I'm 2,800 ft.... I'm only a 3/4 mile from Pinehurst.

You got me curious... So I googled it... http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Estonia,+Europe&hl=en&ll=58.562523,24.741211&spn=18.136562,56.90918&sll=59.410849,25.224609&sspn=0.549291,1.778412&oq=Estonia+e+&vpsrc=6&hnear=Estonia&t=h&z=5

Right on... Thank you for your time and effort in done these pictures...

I guess Wild & Free forgot I'm in the middle of nowhere Idaho with a well and creek...
