Hmmmm... I like it that really kind of cool for a gauge... Not exactly eye friendly but it would work good! Or turn on the water/meth pump...

Adobe Acrobat Reader needed...

Well it wasn't a good trip to drag the trailer up hills and all around empty but that was my last recorded MPG for it... Actully I need to put the dang thing on the scales and see what it weighs out at really...

Hmmm... Nice trip to Ontario / Boise... The temps are getting cooler in the mornings and evenings... Like yesterday it 43*f to start and this morning is frosty and 34*F out (Brrrrr!). But I was running the fuel saver rountine 55 MPH and staying aware of road conditions and such. Well watching the EGT's typically on flat ground I was seeing 500-550*F on the highway. But now hit the city and drive traffic I would be lucky to get over 400-450*F at 35 MPH in Boise... Most of the time I pulled into a parking lot it was at 350*F or lower... I did really good going down to Boise at about 22.6 MPG (SGII) but my return trip bucking a wind I had a tough time keeping the pyro below 600*F at all. It wasn't a hard wind but just constant so by the time I hit home I was at 19.5 MPG (SGII)

Just a dumb though now getting my first dose of bucking and heard a couple of weak starts now. Trust me it had me jumping a bit when the start did its slow cranking... (Not now...) So later on today I got to take a look at the start contacts and I know my batteries are on the last leg (green eyes are both black)...

Nice to be able to shim the spring up with a washer and then get you pressure tuned where you like it... I'm just running a single washer in mine about the same thickness as JL's... Still rock solid 17 PSI at idle and above 15 PSI at WOT runs...

Man you're rough on people... Still it would be fun to get together and ride once with you... I think we get a few miles and sit and talk shop more than ride...

There is a joint connector on the driver side up behind the dash. Joint Connector 7 is the junction for all the CCD networking on the truck so if the connector is loose or not socketed good the NO BUS will be displayed...

Hey now... Everyone here is hitting good numbers without drugs... Give you something to think about my best with just the empty flatbed trailer so far is about 18 MPG... But I've got a few friend in NewMeadows that are going to help me re-do the axle on the trailer (less drag)...

Crazy thought? What's the condition of the batteries and cables? Like myself I'm closing in on the end of life for my batteries and just yesterday I felt my truck starting to buck slightly in certain conditions but wouldn't last long... Happen rarely and short lived...

I wishI kept the part number for the float and arm it like $70 bucks just for the float assembly and it a dealer only item... But its easy to install about an hour dropping the tank and install... Boost gauge would tell you a bunch of things... The only two box worth anything is Edge Juice and Quadzilla Adrenaline... I tend to side with Edge more so than Quadzilla...

Glad to hear the VP44 straighten it out and got the truck running... Steering stabilizer is rather cheap to fix like you said compaped to the VP44 that you just installed.

Geez... Not bad ISX it about as good as my 8x8x2 of firewood on the trailer and the 1 cord on the bed... It's really hard to kill the MPG's to the point of 14.1 MPG... I've only done it once...

Yeah I think the gauges are fine but i heard plenty of bad stories about the GS a-pillar pods though...

Well you might be in for a surprise if I ever rode with you... My tail rarely stays on the seat long... I'm normally up on 1 knee pulling the ATV to one side and haul arse up a hill or side hill... Dang I would love to ride with you just once...

Yeap it goes where ISX has the second smaller braided line... It's a 1/8" NPT hole... Typically just got a plug in it...

I did the redneck method... Chain wrapped around the tire... That kind of wild riding on a icy forestry road...

As for doing a P-pump conversion you can buy 2 VP44 for the price of the conversion... Not to mention all the little things you got to send to the shop to be delt with like having the injectors re-popped for the p-pump, throttle linkage, getting the shut off solenoid, changing lift pumps and buying the new lift pump... There is a bunch of little things to be aware of before jumping towards the conversion...

Each fuel injector connector tube contains an edge filter (Fig. 13) that breaks up small contaminants that enter the injector. The edge filter uses the injectors pulsating high-pressure to break up most particles so they are small enough to pass through the injector. If there is actual debris inside the injector it will require you to remove them and clean the by disassembly. As far as I'm concerned there is no actual injector cleaner that will remove debris from inside the injector... You can soak it in cleaner and it wil still have debris in the injector... Sad but true...

Well it looks like you had fun... You one crazy SOB on 2 wheels...

Actually he still beggin' for marshmellows...

Sorry to say 2 cycle oil won't clean out a blockage... Then more than likely the Edge Filters in the connector tube would prevent the debris from entering the injectors. Question: Did the stock injectors fix the stalling issues?

Hey ISX... How did you do for MPG number on the trip towing? Also I'm curious did you have any problems with engine temp without your fan in place?

From what he told me last night on the phone... For $1,200 bucks in this transmission and got 300K plus on this transmission I'd say he got his money worth...
