  1. I hope you not letting it idle to warm up? (Not good for it) I suggest you fire up the truck and just get driving easy till it warms up. It should be 190*F in about 5-10 miles typically. So my suggestion to you is flush out the system if it hasn't in the last 30K miles or if its unknown. Color of the coolant is meaningless. You going to have to flush out the heater core separately to see if you can get it to flow more. Double check your blend door motor to see if its moving correctly.
  2. Thank you W&F for the videos... I know I normal don't allow political discussions. But I'm going to let this one go because it effect everyone in the USA and it going to effect your lifestyle directly. So let the discussion go here but... "Remember" lets keep our cool and not let this get into a bashing thread if so I'll shut it down or one of the moderators will... You've been warned! Now my response to this I've already watched the first 2 with MoparMom this morning and need to watch the rest of them but from what I see the USA is going to see some hardships coming...
  3. Like on my Mom's 96 Dodge Ram 1500 V8 5.9L the offset is 233%... It shows at 0% offset of 55 MPG... Which I know isn't true... So as for why the offset differences? I don't know really... Difference in electronics? Orignal in stock form I was only 9.6% offset... Now with all the mods I'm at 24%...
  4. Works with... The stock OE filter is a full flow filter and a Motorguard / Frantz is a bypass filter that only filters a small percentage of the oil flow.
  5. Going to mark my answers in RED. Because during the calibrate fillup process you would fill the truck at the fuel station and then drive till about 1/4 tank and return back to the same fuel station and pump. Then fill again. During this fill the pump would show the total amount of fuel pump into your fuel tank and the ScanGauge II would show the amount fuel consumed. So knowing that both numbers are off the offset is adjusted to match the pump. So say SGII displays 22.0 Gallons and I pumped 27.2 Gallons so I would end up increasing the offset till the SGII match the fuel pump which would display 24%. So the next time you pull up to the pump the gallons should be right there close when it kick the pump handle. NOTE: You will never get it exactly perfect. Fuel station pumps have a margin of error as well. So that is the short fall of the stock overhead it assumes that it will remain a stock truck forever and you never change tires, rims, engine fueling system, etc...
  6. Welcome to the group! I've seen some people mange to put 6BT Cummins in Ramcharger before...
  7. That's where the stock overhead computer falls short quick... Like Ultra Gauge and Scan Gauge both have a offset feature to calibrate to offset changes in the fuel system like larger injectors, timings, etc... Then This figure is used in conjuction with the GPH signal from the ECM to correct flows. Then UG & SG both have a calibration for speed so then you can dial in for over sized tires and such... So now both numbers are trued back up giving better accuracy to the MPG display compared to the stock overhead computer... ((MPH * Offset %) + MPH) / ((GPH * Offset %) + GPH) = Corrected MPG Now this is something stock overhead can't do... So like mine has a GPH offset of 24% and has a MPH offset of 1%... Which gives true number from the SG which my hand math tends be lower because of the 1% difference in mileage. Like my Mom's 96 (Running Mopar Performance PCM) has a 233% GPH offset and 0% MPH offset. So SG / UG is a good tool if calibrated properly...
  8. Either hit "Manage Attachments" button below the text box or and put your pics in...
  9. This is cause by a lift pump with open or short windings... Basically the pump is either drawing too much amps or not enough because of internal problems so the answer to your error code is to replace the lift pump.
  10. Thanks W&F... I sure do wish I had more of his stuff though...
  11. All the electronics will run off of 8 volts as a minimum. As for the release of the key and it starts to run it might be the actual key switch is bad...
  12. Well all data is calculated simply... MPH / GPH = MPG So if your traveling 55 MPH and the engine is consuming 3.0 GPH so... 55 MPH / 3.00 GPH = 18.3 MPG Then what the overhead does is buffer the information and keep averaging the data out. But if you want to reverse calculate you can too... GPH x MPG = MPH MPH / MPG = GPH
  13. Well... Ummm... what else??? Being a good guy helping fellow forum owners...
  14. Dang... The forum owners united in one spot wow! Elkslayer (www.idahoturbodiesels.com) LiveOak (www.tractorfarmandfamily.com) MnTom (www.dieseltrucksite.com) Duluth Diesel (www.midwestdieselconnection) if he shows up.
  15. Not the caster oil is the salt and the alcohol...
  16. Nice... I wish I had water to wash mine... I got to wait another month (April)...
  17. 2 Types of paint... (Enamel & Clear coat) Enamel paint has no clear coat and shot as a signle coat. Clear coat is shot in 2 parts the color which has the appearance of flat paint. Then clear coat over the top to give it a shine. There is a lot more work to doing clear coat paints...
  18. When wheel bearing fail the tone ring moves inward and the sensor can no longer see the tone ring hence (no speed). So ABS light is set.
  19. Wow... That sucks there was a ton of stuff over on DodgeRam.org... And from the DNS info I would say he's gone for good there is no owner information present. http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois/?tool_id=66&token=&toolhandler_redirect=0&ip=dodgeram.org
  20. Here is something to do when your bored... http://www.wimp.com/pongshots/
  21. I've heard of this issue a bunch... I've seen starter solenoid fuses do the same thing and crack. It might crack for a few second and quit. Then wait and it works again because as the fuse cools it makes connection again then under load it seperates... Tough one to chase at times...
  22. You might... Hmmm... Might have to see if there is a way to install a toggle switch... I like the idea of the warning chime for lights, door, etc... But there is times you just want to have the doors open and rock out to tunes without the chime dinging away...
  23. Yeah the reason behing the P0602 code is the fact the fueling map is altered and the ECM checks the fueling table and it doesn't match the stock checksum. At least what I've been told...
  24. I relized that later on... ISX is right thou... Like usual... Now I know why I hired him...
  25. That still fixable... Just run 2 valves together. One for the return line and the other for the main line. Just crazy ideas...
