Honda Tri Fuel.
I started out with generators. Then converter to full solar power and hydro power. Silent power that requires no fuel and always ready. As soon as the inverter senses dirty power it drops the city power and switches to the inverter in under 200ms. Might see a blink in the house but everything is still running. Just had the inverter fire up 4 days ago my computer screen went black for a second or so the came back just where I left off. Future plan is to take my 6500 watt generator wired into the inverter so if the load exceeds the 4000 watt inverter so it would start and warm up then pair the AC wave presto you now have 10500 watts of power total. For the last 20 years I've just ran the inverter solo typically.

What does Cummins /Dodge recommend for anti gel in the new trucks ?
No. You can use and product you wish. Like the Optilube was developed at the same time I was doing 2 cycle oil studies. The Optilube is the best product for lubricity and antigel features. Being the test was done at the same time. Hence why I have all this data.

Exactly I don't want anything in my cab that even hints at even having a tuner hence why I love Quadzilla there is no need to have a display. I run headless most days and other are clueless because there is no display. Guys with Smarty Touch or Edge Performance tuner have a higher chance of the vehicle broken into or stolen. Being there is no signs of a display in my truck so likely going to be hit. Plus stock wheels and 245s no reason to mess with a stock truck. Little do they know...

Did the mod myself. I cut the plug off the Quad harness and extended the 4 wires equally to the cab. All solered and shrink tubed..Then plugged in the iQuad head right inside the cab.

Motor swap 02 pickup with 98.5 motor
The biggest problem is the crank / cam sensors from early to converting to later with cam only sensor. The gear case is wrong because the sensor location and the tone wheel on the cam is wrong. This forces you to change the cam and gear housing for proper operation. Other that that your engine will be in limp mode constantly. There is only 1 notch in the cam and this will display as a extremely low RPM and doesn't match up with the VP44 (P1690 code). Once you change the cam the tone ring will be correct but the gear case has to change too because the location of the tone ring is in a different position. Hence why these parts need changing.

Since I relocated my Bluetooth head into the cab tuck under the cup holder on the floor. I've never had a radio issue ever. Even with the new Quadzilla head that does both Bluetooth and WiFI both still never had one issue. Never had a import or export problem. Since relocation of the head I've never had another connection problem. Now the most phone calls I get is for iPhone (apple) and iTablets (apple) that will not import iQuad tune files or connect or reliably. Just have a call last week for guy that struggling with iPhone not importing a downloaded tune from M73M download area.

What does Cummins /Dodge recommend for anti gel in the new trucks ?
Boy that crazy and it already been proven time and time again PS isn't a good additive. Then the other under handed is the there is part that are not part of thew warranty because of being a wearable item. I'll grab my buddy that has the list and I'll repost it here. Like him he was a Common Rail owner at one time and got rid of it. Too many things the dealer didn't cover. Even using Bosch own documents... You would way better off with Opti-Lube XPD... It scored a 317 HFRR way less wear! Compared to Power Service that score 575 HFRR very very damaging... What your CP3 will look like... This is Bosch own testing of fuel lubricity. https://opti-lube.com/opti-lube-xpd-all-in-one-diesel-fuel-additive-1-gallon-without-accessories-treats-up-to-512-gallons/ Now 317 HFRR is going to be much better... So research your products just because Cummins or Dodge says it good you better still do you own study because Power Service has been poor rated for YEARS. Only gains +65 HFRR. Where OptiLube XPD will gain +319 HFRR. This has lubricant in the bottle for sure.

How long do you think the used truck market for good 24 v 5.9 Cummins 2 nd gens will hold out ?
Stop all these forest fire that are making more CO2 that any vehicle in the world. Heck just consider a Boeing 747 hold 63,500 gallons of Jet-A fuel and burns just about 5 GALLONS OF JET-A EVERY ONE MILE. So tell a you Govt not to fly and start walking. You know they will still fly. Out here people are getting 20k to 25k for 1998.5 to 2002 Dodge Cummins. No joke.

Be careful alot of anti-gels are worse off than just the diesel fuel itself. Like Power adds a bit more HFRR score. Normal diesel fuel is 520 HFRR. But Bosch wants <460 HFRR. Like myself I don't use any anti gel products at all. Higher cetane just reduces the MPG deeper. Never gelled the Beast in 19 winters and temps as low as -40F. Why? When I last did my study in local fuels the could have already have 50 cetane adding more is just going to reduce power and MPG. Pour point is already good to -20 to -30F. So why waste the money on a product that is not going to do any good for the fuel system taking away lubricity, then taking away BTU content, for fuel that is already treated and does require any help. Oh yeah a bit of science for Power Service. If the product truly has lubricant in the product leave a small sample exposed to the air. It will dry out and be a gummy tar. There is no oil in the product. Any oil will remain after evaporating all the alcohols off for the cetane boosters. Try it with 2 cycle oil. Never changes. Oil will remain oil even exposed to air but sure shows off the alcohol amounts used for cetane boosters.

You have to leave Airplane mode off. Airplane mode is to stop all RF radios from transmitting any signal at all. So leave Airplane mode OFF. Now the device is Android or iDevice? Older transmitter heads for Quadzilla is Bluetooth for Android and WiFi for iDevices. Now the newer radio heads have both WiFi for apple products and Bluetooth for Android products. It might be a goo idea to make sure all the apps are up to date since Airplane mode is on. It will not update any software being all radios are turned off. Make sure your pair is good I've seen the pair key fail at times and refuse connection. Typically just got to delete the pair and start over. Have you rebooted the device recently? It does help to reboot from time to time.

Turn OFF airplane mode and it will work just fine. Airplane mode shuts off all the different radios on the mobile device. So no Bluetooth or WiFi.

I would try a reflash of the box making sure you have the latest and greatest firmware. Then verify you have the right tune file for the version. If the tunes are not loading I would opt for building a new version. This would build a tune for the version of app your using.

Few random questions..
TOTALLY AGREE! Being I'm in the mountains and do a lot of up and down grades I feel the 3.73 ratio is really optimal for power and MPG wise. Even towing is better. If your more midwest I would still hang towards the 3.73 ratio but not as tight being I've done 27.2 MPG on stock tires and 3.55 gears (Edge Comp, +75 HP injectors, and stock HX35W turbo).

Mopar1973Man Economy Tune

- Version 2025.2.1
Mopar1973Man Economy Tune 2025.2.1 Disclaimer This tune has seriously high timing so be sure you have upgraded to head studs and are willing to dive out on a limb with me. This tune can run the full 30 degrees worth of timing. Typically cruise timing at 66 MPH (2,000 RPM) is about 23 to 25 degrees of timing depending on engine load. You have been warned. This tune is built around 200℉ thermostat used in a 2012 Ram 6.7L engine. I'm running higher coolant temperatures. The intake temperature is better at around 80 to 140℉ coolant floats 204 to 208℉. Make sure the cruise timing is dropping out at or just before 5 PSI of boost. If cruise timing is hanging too long it could blow a head gasket. This tune has the best all-around daily driver tuning yet so far. It has a steep timing curve but the efficiency is the best so far and there are no ill effects on the engine even with nearly 500k miles on the clock. I've made several short trips around and even with climbing and running in the mountains, the amount of fuel to get to Boise is about 1/8 of a tank which is 180 mile trip one way. Suggested Requirements Final ratio of 3.73 or 4.10 (after tires) +150 HP Injectors (7 x 0.010) popped at 320 bar Stock HX35W turbo (54/60/12) 200℉ Thermostat (2012 6.7L Cummins) Head Studs BHAF Manual Transmission$100 -
"The Beast" Broke The High Mark 28.04 MPG On The Quadzilla!
@Quadzilla Power Has any one here done 400+ miles on just a half tank of fuel? I filled up in Cascade ID heading to Stanley ID. Spent a day hot spring jumping. Then ended up coming home early because a family emergency. Now I went home the long way to avoid construction delays on Hwy 55. I'm right here at 425 miles and barely above 1/2 tank. Just The Beast chilling' at the Motel in Lowman, ID. We stayed at the Sourdough lodge. Nice place. Yes tire sizes and final ratio have HUGE impact in MPG and then the proper tuning on the Quadzilla. As for the proper ratio to look for is closer to 3.73 for good efficiency. You should see about 2,000 RPMs at 65 MPH. This nets the best MPG numbers over any other setup. Larger tires with extra rotational mass will cost you this good MPG number. As you can see I'm running factory steel rims, with 245/75 R16 tires (30.5 inches). Yup I was there... @Wet Vetteenjoying the Kirkham hot springs... (Kirkham Hotsprings, 2021) As for the Quadzilla tuning seriously over advancing the 1,500 RPM band higher than needed will cost you. I typically see about 550 to 575 EGT's at 65 MPH on this last trip. I had speeds limits of as low as 35 MPH in places to max of 65 MPH. I ran just at speed limit. I can't cheat this... If you want what I'm running... I just released my tune.

Has any one done 400+ miles in just a half tank of fuel? Yes tires and gear ratio have huge effect with custom tuning. Something you can do with diesel but not gas. From Casade ID to Stanley ID then all the way home.

Quad Question
Good example I can give... Just like Me78569 was an auto during this time. Autos can start out higher in timing because of the torque converter and amount of slip it has unlocked. Where a manual once the clutch is engaged you have zero slip and need a bit more retard to build power fast.
-
Quad Question
Fuel could be anything you wish. Of course too much fuel will produce black smoke. Too little and it will be weak in power Timing is based on fuel injector size and pop pressure. This can vary quite a bit from truck to truck. Retard amounts and advance amounts again can vary truck to truck. I need specs. Turbo size Injector size and pop pressure Transmission type Axle gear ratio Tire size

Pilothouse/RAM3500 build
If it was a 1 ton frame and axles it should be fine. It will have more inset on the front which is normal. Typically the one ton tires are 215/85 R16 or 235/85 R16.
-
Pilothouse/RAM3500 build
Typically the front are same as the rear but flipped inward. You've got 3/4 ton wheels in the front and 1 ton in the rear. I've got 3/4 ton all the way around. (Lowman, Idaho)

Lil' Red was about a 14 to 16 MPG at best. Never put a lot effort in Lil' Red. Now its no longer my problem. SOLD.

People forget I deal with hundreds of Dodge Cummins trucks. I've seen the absolute worst with 37 inch tires on 3.55 gears. I've help several get 18 to 21 MPG with bad set ups. Yes final ratio makes a huge impact. Like Beast with 245s which lands me at 3.69. Like my last high mark at 28.04 MPG. Then fix Thor with 33 inch tires and changed back to 265's brought it back to 3.73 final and gained 4 MPG putting me close to 19 MPG.

Yes. The calculation is the same for gas or diesel. Just Cummins does better around 2k RPM at 65 MPH. I was running the same ratio on Lil' Red. 215/85 R16 on 3.55 put nearly the same like 3.65. On Lil' Red the 4 speed auto is taller in 4th. So the out come it a bit lower RPM.
