Ummm... it does lock me inside at 15 MPH. Yeah very true, the way he sounds, way he drives, vibrations, etc.

Nope... ive working on server performance and some of the cache modules were acting goofy. I've got it sorted out now. Still have some issues on my HTTP server software. Trying to clean up server errors and make it quicker yet.

Well I've got to tell a tale of what has happened to Thor. Back during the summer I had drove through a open field and managed to gather up a roll of barbed wire around the axle. Then when I went in for new tires the gorilla lugs I had on the 18 wheels well they managed to break off two studs on each side of the rear axle. Now getting around to the actually repair of the damages... So started on the passenger side and pulled the tire off and found the caliper slide bolt was bent from the barbed wire event. This in turn now wiped out the inner brake pad and then ate the inside face of the rotor. Ok stop and order new brakes and rotor for the passenger side. Parts come a few days later. Now finish up the passenger side and then move to the driver side. Find out that 2 more of the lugs galled up and required the studs to be cut off or broke. Now that required 2 more studs to be ordered and then find out the caliper frame is stripped out and so was one bolt. Great order more parts. Finally get that all together and back to sitting on the ground. This 2006 has been nothing short of a huge money pit.

Just think everyone told me buy Cummins OE parts. Everyone knows and trust Cummins. Just like I learned Cummins does not produce thermostats so why pay $70 bucks for a Holley/Mr. Gasket which is who makes Cummins thermostats. Alright... Now how about Cummins OE head gaskets? Cummins doesn't make head gaskets a company of BLK does. So just because you think you know a company or think you know the source of the parts doesn't make them good or bad. This just proves even a big name like Cummins can be selling any kind of products with there name on it. Just like in the past with Carter fuel pump made for Cummins which was nothing but junk lift pumps. I'd rather take a smaller company for products than a big name any more. At least smaller companies want to make a better product.

Same here. I slowly been walking forward. I started with... Stock RV275 Injectors +50 HP Injectors +75 HP Injectors +150 HP Injectors. As I worked my way forward I dealt with all the weakness. The biggest thing do not run oversized tires or foul the final ratio. The optimal ratio for longevity I'm finding is 3.55:1 to 3.73:1 to the ground after tires are figured in. Like I ditched the 265's and went to 245's which is a 30 inch tire but now get the final ratio to 3.69:1 to the ground providing better longevity being my EGT's at 55 MPH are so low most won't believe me.

That's what I would do if it was me. Then replace the one injector hold down. Extra 200 to 300 dollars for the other what so special about the line to need extra money for them? Gold plated, life time warranty to never fail or what?

Forgot to mention I tipped over 50 PSI of boost on my turbo when I finally over did the drive pressure side and blew the head gasket. So yeah HX35 or HX35W should be able to spool up a good 35 to 40 PSI easy.

I'm running a HX35/40 Hybrid (60/60/12) on my truck with +150 HP VCO injectors. My current Quadzilla tune is netting me a high mark of 28 MPG. I've got enough power to spin the tires loose. Now you could do the Smarty Touch which will give you that ability but at a cost of about $1800 for the full kit so you can write tunes. Then the max your going to get is 65 HP period because Smarty Touch on 24V Cummins is still only a CanBus tuner. Yeah Quadzilla is the best option.

Smarty isn't a really good tuner for timing control it basically has a few level of advancement but nothing for retarding. So to build boost you need more retard to push more exhaust gases into the turbo. More advancement will reduce boost pressure.

Personally I would just replace them. No matter what you do the clean one is worn enough to see the step on the tip. The rusted ones are too far gone by the time you clean the tips up it might not seal good. I've had this happen too and they continued to weep in the manifold smelling diesel all the time. I got lucky and a friend had a full set of line that were new I ended up trading for and got. My problem is fixed with new lines. The tapered tips are a precise machined tip and you must be super careful not to make them smaller or have little pits or scars in that small tip. 5,000 PSI and up to 20,000 PSI will leak out for sure. Hence why I suggest full replacement.

Yup that would do it. The injector will lift up a bit losing some compression making it lopey and also routing that pressure into the fuel tank from there.

All fuel pickups suck from the bottom. That is the first to go. That means anything heavier than diesel fuel will sink to the bottom and be first consumed. Like dirt, water, etc.

No issues here with NAPA suspension parts. I've noticed at least NAPA will update parts as needed.

When you see hotshot guys putting over a million miles on a Cummins with standard Chevron Delo 15w-40. Like the last time I pull my head to replace the gasket my cylinder walls still have cross hatch yet at 438k miles. Looking good.

That's the thing right there. Well all need to take responsibility for our own actions. That doesn't mean pass the buck then hope and pray for change. If you not doing something to make a change like getting involved in your own local gov't and making it a point to vote for change. How about writing letter ot your local state government and tell them your not satisfied with (person name) and there their performance. Tell your local government how the inflation of prices how its impacting your life and your ability to live. Etc. Now this is being proactive and doing something about what is happening. Like myself I've been working with another group that is making a website to bring information of the gov't to light. Now this is being proactive even just getting truthful information to others is a huge help. Another thing you all can do is turn off ABC, NBC and FOX. Now on your smart TV or Roku fire up Pluto TV and drop down to Newsmax and watch a different view of news and different point of view. I'm that black sheep that is going the opposite direction pushing through the on coming crowds of sheeple saying' "Excuse me, I'm not going that direction."

300k miles is low miles on a Cummins. These engine will go over a million miles.

Doesn't your headlights have 2 adjustments per headlight? There should be on the OE headlights a left and right adjustment and the up and down adjustment. Like my HID and the aftermarket headlights I've only got up and down now. No left to right.

Pressure in the fuel tank is not a good thing. Typically that is cause by compression gases being forced into the return rail back to the fuel tank. Injector copper not sealing Cracked head Blown head gasket Just the few reason I've seen for pressure in the fuel tank. I would look at the injectors again and making sure the crossover tubes are tighten first then the injector hold down. Then been sure to tighten the injector hold down to 89 inch/pounds.

That's a good thing. Even my economy tune is smokeless. Even on level 2 I can still spin the tires. Smoke just means you tune is too advanced in timing and over fueled.

Sorry for the malfunction I've been working in the back end of the site so things have been a bit goofy... Again sorry for that...

Should of done VCO nozzles. I had the same issue with stalling on my first set of SAC tips. Then changed to VCO and stalling problem was gone. The other thing I did was not opt for default pop pressure but went up to 320 bar. Way cleaner burn less smoke. Then now coupled with 30 inch tires with a final ratio at 3.69:1 and my economy tune now I'm hitting a high mark of 28 MPG. Typically get 350 to 400 miles on a half tank.

Ummm... I'll patiently wait... Just like my mother professed that she would see the end time in her life time. Nope. Prayed for "Decades" and here we are still today in the same mess. I think its time of more action than prayers. Prayers are not going to stop the Gov't from doing what it doing to the people. Praying is not going to get Biden and the corrupt democrats out of office. Praying is not going to fix the inflation of the dollar and the troubled market. Praying isn't going to protect myself for corrupt cops or being killed by rioter. I'm not saying I don't believe but I believe you have to be more proactive to make changes than passive (praying) which doesn't fix anything.

Only works good "IF"... Battery are in good condition and not discharged. Alternator is up to the task and not exceeding the 150 Amp breaker If the circuit breaker is tripping quite a bit look at the batteries. It not a circuit breaker problem nor is it a alternator problem. Even changing to a fuse its possible to keep blowing 150A fuses too. Again its the batteries that are not keeping up with the task. I've dealt with this in the past. Double cables on the negative did nothing. Changing from 150A circuit breaker to a 150A fuse did nothing. But now replacing the batteries that were weak problem gone...

Absolutely...

I personally say that we need to drain the Gov't swamps. We cant fix any of these problem when America is allowing all these DemonRats (Democrats) stay in control. We can pray our brains out and go to church every day but the evil will still be in control. Till the Gov't swamps are drained we are not going to get any better.
