Well gang... I've been playing with theories and ideas for long enough now its time to put them into a design and see if it actually works. We all know the 24V's seem to take a good tumble in MPG's as the winter sets in well ISX proved that with the 12V engines with static timing that MPG's don't change. Well if you look at it the only thing that could be tossing this out the window is the IAT sensor on the 24V is changing the VP44 performance. Most know that colder air produces better HP/TQ because colder air is denser and requires more fuel to keep balanced. Well if you reverse this and warm the air (in theory) the VP44 should retune and burn according to the manifold temp. So what I've done tonight is fished through my resistor pile and found 3 I'm going to use for test candidates. Orange - White - Red - Gold = 3.9K Ohm = 116*F IATRed - Violet - Red - Gold = 2.7K ohm = 132*F IATRed - Black - Red - Gold = 2.0K ohm = 148*F IAT So now tomorrow I'm going to pull 3 test runs on the same piece of highway... Seeing if the highier the IAT temp increases the MPG or not... I'll can give you something to think about... Grid heaters are NOT controlled directly by the IAT... With the 2.7K Ohm resistor in place before even starting the grid heater still where hitting as normal. So there is more to the grid heater that the IAT temps... ... On the cutting edge again...

Fuel Line Tee -> Snubber/Needle Vavle -> Sender/Gauge

Just replace the needle valve with... As you can see a needle valve is adjustable and can be shut off where a fuel pressure snubber is a fixed offrice and never be adjusted nor shut off... At rate the snubber or needle valve should always be installed at the source... Not at the gauge...

Same here... The only thing I could give for an idea is the fact the system might not of been bleed for a very long time and the crud built up in the master cylinder and when your pressing to the floor you pushed the piston into the crud ripping the seal. I heard of this happening on a few other forums but never actually seen it so don't jump out buying a master cylinder right off... But you might double check your bleed job with a second person and do the ol' 2 person bleeding...

Hey gang... I'm in the market for a ultrasonic pest control box. I currently have a Rodelsonix IX box which works awesome for keeping mice from the vehicles but I can seem to get these boxes any long the company no longer is producing them. So what is everyone using in the was of ultrasonic pest control??? As for traps, baits, poisons, etc... I try not to us this stuf because where you place the poison now is going to attract even more... I use to us spring loaded mouse trap and cheese but this is a one shot deal that is messy... (Yuck!)

Well someone already moved before I noticed it...

I've seen as high as 6-7 GPH worth of fuel being burned on a really cold morning like 0*F, 3 cylinder high idle, exhaust brake set and the grid heater draggin' the alternator hard and heavy... 6 cylinder high idle not so bad at about 2-3 GPH worth of burn rate but not creating as much heat and taking longer to hit the shutdown point...

Well ISX and myself been talking about it... Welcome to the site...

Well it snowed a full 1 inch tonight and the temps made it to 36*F and then started to go down again... so when I took Mom's 96 out for a charge up run down the pavement it was black ice and slick... WeeHaw! Just could get that auotmatic to hold the ground as it shifted gears... Bam! And skippin' sideways... Then nearly got stuck on the driveway in 4WD and going sideways again...

It doubles if not more.... More pyrometer temp means more fuel being put down...

Welcome to the site... He's right don't be afraid to post question, ideas, thought, comments... We want to here what you got on your mind... Sweet looking trailer...

Can you imagine driving over debris like this? I do it all the time...

Is that all you get for 3 cylinder??? That what I get with 6 cylinder high idle and the exhaust brake... You don't want to see my pyrometer touch 1,000*F with the exhaust brake, and the grid heaters because everytime the grid heater turn on the coal would roll...

No... I've got just enough room between the AD150 and the transfer case to reach in and pull the plug to check my transfer case fluid. As for driveline nope its out of the way... It's back just enough that I got to pull the rear set of bolts on the skid plate to get the filters off the Airdog. But that's nice because all summer this truck rarely sees pavement...

Yeah... Johnfak and ISX learned that one... HY35 turbo needs a J hook to really get up and perform...

Ok here you go...

That's mine exactly... Then the rest of the pump mounts on top of that... As for specs I guess I could do the dirty thing and pull mine down a sec to shoot pics of it... Geez... How I hate to pull the pump down its always a mess...

Like mine... Mine is orginal AirDog 150 bracket for short bed trucks...

Hmmm... That +30 setting is most likely a timing only setting...

Hmmm... Instead of chopping up the truck I built the heat shield and then using backing nuts I lifted the plate up till there was just enough stud left to put the top nut on and hold the plate in place... So the top of the stud in flush with the nut and there is nothing to rub the filter then...

The only programmer I think is good is the Smarty... But even then its limited to 60-65HP for us 2nd Gen 24V trucks... For the money spent on a SuperChip or Smarty you get a better range of power control with a Quadzilla or Edge product... Not to mention the QZ/Edge is adjustable on the fly so you don't need to plug in anything... Sad to see you lost you flash over a programmer...

It's a Weatherhead Part (WH6820) you should be able to get it through any part store selling hydraulic hoses and such... But here is the part page from Napa for you...

Here is a older setup... Now what does a single water hamer pulse look like??? More about water hammer... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

Just because of the amount of information... I'm going to add this to the stick pile for now and get a article made of this soon...
