Do me a favor Ops if you can measure you IAT temps with a live data tool and see if the +40*F offset is different that will tell you a bunch...

Just the fact that it comes and goes with gear change makes me think it going to be transmission related. Being when it kicks down it starts to act out and then shift to high gear and lose the problem. other things to look at is the u-joint or any carrier bearing it might have.

Beggars can't be choosy... Totally understandable...

I had a gent today tell me a secret about the 2001 problem with the key trick we all know that some of the 2001 will read ECM codes and other will not read but display a P1693 code. Well I need some help finding the answer to this secret. Now you guys/gals with 2001 trucks take notice to the criuse light color and also tell me if the P-PCU and P-ECU is display during you key trick...

Like today I was down to 1/8 and just about tripped the light on... I've got the old school draw straw but I can run till the empty mark without problems... Just can't launch hard and quick...

The price of 6 injectors on a 3rd Gen is more than a VP44 pump on a 2nd Gen... The failure point of the CR engine is from poor filter performance and damages the internal valve of the injector that controls injector firing. Typically the 3rd gen get just slightly less MPGs because of the multiple injector firings to make them quiet. 6.7L are worse with the DPF re-gen.

More along the lines of you need 2 million dollars... The first million to pay for all your current bills, debts, loans, and repair everything... Then the second million for taking a vacation away from all the the crap you had to put up with... Now your broke again... Well I know that a if a shop charges you more than 4 hours for that heater core they are pulling you leg... Also heater core is running abot $120 to $130 roughly...

Well any lift pump will protect a VP44 from failing but how often you you want to toss money out replacing the lift pump? Even a stock carter lift pump will work with a big line kit but I was replacing them about twice a year from failure. The only 2 that are standing out in the crowd right now and lasting long times is AirDog and FASS. But they cost considerably more with a lifetime warranty.

Here is my last load of firewood...

Naw... Like this...

I was doing some digging for ISX for Drag formulas and such and ran across this page and had to share with you... http://ecomodder.com/forum/tool-aero-rolling-resistance.php#2 Here is what I figured out for my Empty run and my 235/85 R16 tires (Crr .009) http://ecomodder.com/forum/tool-aero-rolling-resistance.php?Weight=7900&WeightUnits=lbs&CRR=.009&Cd=.45&FrontalArea=37&FrontalAreaUnits=ft^2&FuelWh=37953&IceEfficiency=.22&DrivetrainEfficiency=.95&ParasiticOverhead=0ρ=1.164&FromToStep=40-65-1 Then here is my offroad 265/75 R16 tires (Crr of .015) http://ecomodder.com/forum/tool-aero-rolling-resistance.php?Weight=7900&WeightUnits=lbs&CRR=.015&Cd=.45&FrontalArea=37&FrontalAreaUnits=ft^2&FuelWh=37953&IceEfficiency=.22&DrivetrainEfficiency=.95&ParasiticOverhead=0ρ=1.164&FromToStep=40-65-1 Then my truck full loaded with 2 cords of firewood and trailer... http://ecomodder.com/forum/tool-aero-rolling-resistance.php?Weight=13500&WeightUnits=lbs&CRR=.015&Cd=.45&FrontalArea=49&FrontalAreaUnits=ft^2&FuelWh=37953&IceEfficiency=.22&DrivetrainEfficiency=.95&ParasiticOverhead=0ρ=1.164&FromToStep=40-65-1 Then if I just change back to my street tires... http://ecomodder.com/forum/tool-aero-rolling-resistance.php?Weight=13500&WeightUnits=lbs&CRR=.009&Cd=.45&FrontalArea=49&FrontalAreaUnits=ft^2&FuelWh=37953&IceEfficiency=.22&DrivetrainEfficiency=.95&ParasiticOverhead=0ρ=1.164&FromToStep=40-65-1 It goes to show the effect of speed, tire, frontal area, etc all have a huge effect on MPG!

Here take a look from Drag Coeffiency... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=885 This is taking a stock 2500 or 3500 dodge truck no lift or body changes... Nor Drag Co. is .45 or so. But you add trailers, slide in camper, lift kits, etc will change the Co. number upwards rapidily. No notice the relation to speed and HP required to keep the speed. 55 MPH they are all about the same but now increase to 75 MPH it starts to change. The other factor here that is not being added it the frontal area which I assume stock frontal area but if you got a lift kit, leveling kit, trailers, this changes the curve really quick. Side Note: ISX I need you to build a Drag C. spread sheet with the graph and be able to plug in numbers...

As for the injectors there are many people that get 200-300K miles on a set of injectors without much issues. I could but I don't think you'll get much hits... I'd love to... Just let me know and I'll keep a eye on the fishing holes...

Oh man... (Got deep pockets?)

I told ISX he needs to create a Excel sheet that does the fuel mileage log like what I got... then another one is to a maintenance log... The current software I got is really slow since my MySQL table has rather large now...http://www.lonewolf-software.com/automotivewolf.htm I'm sure ISX can build a better Excel sheet...

One of those additive is a anti-scorching compound to allow the ATF fluid to take on high heat from the torque convertors. Then the fricition modifiers that help make the clutch packs stick better. Dorkweed and AH64ID ar both right ATF is NOT intended yo burn not like 1970's... Then the other problem is it dyes the fuel red which in turn might it you in trouble with Johnny Law... Yes in Idaho I heard of a few random check on farm trucks...

See now that you over come this issue now you now know of a few secrets that you can pass on to the next person. Sorry to hear you had to go through all this but I'm glad you learned from the experience nad now can pass it on to someone else!

I know there is most of us getting into 150K miles to 300K miles from a pump. To have a VP44 fail in under 100K there is something wrong... * No fuel pressure gauge to monitor the lift pump perforamnce.* Allowing the fuel pressure to fail to or below 10 PSI for extended periods.* Poor filter performance. Suggest you use only fleetguard stratpore filters or better.* Poor fuel lubricity. <400 HFRR is Bosch standards and today fuel is ~520 HFRR.* Excessive usage of injection cleaner, cetane boosters, and anti-gel products. Currently at 121K on the VP44 clock and still pulling strong...

I used this map that ISX suppied me...

ISX the mad scienist... The video should of been how a Ford Diesel works because the ford has glow plugs... Well the idea is sound but the problem is the price of pecans are spendy and then process them...

I'll have to look in the morning... I'll try to remember... :banghead:

Boy talk about low cetane fuel... It took a lot of heat to get that little pecan to ignite but it did ignite rather explosively. Shocking to see how long a single pecan burns... That's a lot of calories in one nut! I better stop eating them... I'll feed them to my Cummins...

I just hauled this in I cruised 55 MPH the whole way home and the pyro was running 1,000 to 1,100 the whole way home... I grimaced to even look at the SGII and it displayed 13.1 MPG (For the day) and 15.2 MPG (for the tank)... Ugh... That hurts... But I done several good trips my best all time record is 25.3 MPG.. But take notice there is no entry below 14 MPG... The thing that is killing me are these 265/75 R16 Cooper STT tires they weigh nearly a extra 20 pound per wheel compared to mt 235/85 R16 which I can hit the 20 MPG as a usual thing... But my highway tires are horrid when it comes to skidding trees, and climbing offroad on even grass and weeds...

I went through you updates and I love it you did a awesome job on the sheets for gear ratio and information... Really handy ISX!

I'm not a big fan of the spinter body style but they do make awesome work rigs... Sad to see Big Corps. shutting down different model of vehicles...
