Well let me give you some parameters... Inverter 4,000 Watt 120 VAC Output With a 24V input 750 Ah battery bank. Hydro-electric roughly produces 200 Watts. Solar produces 400 Watts. 4,000 Watt Gasoline Generator. (rarely used) As for city usage... Max input from the city is 60 Amps But I'm configured only for 30 Amps. If any load exceeds 30 amps the inverter must make up for it from the batteries, solar and/or hydro. I produce rough right now about 3-5 AC amps worth of power. There is a few issues that vary this... I've got one battery failed... The cloudy day tend to produce less... Lot of the large load consumers are gone in the house. Like the 4,000 watt water heater is now 1,000 watt 110 Vac. Still 60 gallons but much smaller elements. We know that you can't run the coffee pot and the electric grill at the same time (Poof! Tripped a breaker).. But when the power does fail which it does typically 2-3 times a year we are the only ones with silent power for miles! Then as for living off the system we actually done it. I flipped off the city breaker and figured out a plan so everything kept working. Refrigeration, freezer, well pump, etc... It just you really got to manage every single volt but you can do it. Big consumer like coffee pot, microwave, electric grills, etc... Must be used wisely or your batteries are dead premature. 400W of solar http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1029 1,000 Pounds of lead acid batteries (6 volt) http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1028 Trace Inverter 4,000 Watt http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1027

Ummm... NO! Maybe a rubber inner tube, a beer, and a pair of cutoffs... Speedo's gawd no...

Some of you know I produce my own power here at my place... Well I'm going to show you how to get the most from you water source... My irrigation system is 1" line at 120 PSI roughly... It's feed from a dam about 1/4 mile back on the mountain. (I'll get pics of this soon). But I added a debris filter to prevent plugging of sprinklers and the pelton wheel jet... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1020 Normally get about 71-72 PSI after the pelton wheel is running this brings down the water pressure and keeps my garden hose from looking like water wennies... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1019 But this pressure feeds a permanent magnetic train generator and pelton wheel... Yeah I got a few repairs to do to the wheel leaking water is one thing but I also got a bearing get sloppy... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1017 Ok... I know its noise I know I got to replace bearing but what I'm doing in the video is turning off both windings and allowing the pelton wheel to free wheel if you listen you can hear it clearly rev up... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-9AmvyVr_g But then the waste water leave the generator building... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1013 http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1016 And heads to my new pond I'm building... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1014 The pond is about 5-6 feet deep the tarp is about 29 x 39 foot. It's folded in the middle to aid in slack... But now I've got a perfect water source now for a cool dip in the summer or water for fire protection. Here is my dam wall which happens to be just wide enough for a ATV or the lawn mower... The pipe is the spill way... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1015 http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1021 ---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ---------- Ok continuing on... I was in a mood for a ride so I grabbed the camera and headed for the mountain on the ATV. Point of reference from in my yard looking up... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1025 Down from on top of the ridge looking down... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1024 Looking back at the generator shed... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1023 Me... At the dam... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1022 Then a bit of video... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU0TNjuCNNw

Site will take up to 1600x1200 pic and resize auotmatically to 800x600...

Hey gang... Check this out I paint my shop floor white... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1008 The killer part of this is now with the mild weather you can open up the shop door in the morning hours and get a ton of light in the shop. The awesome part is that you no longer have to have a 150W shop light cooking you under the truck. The light reflects all over under the truck just like if you flipped it up-side-down... No joke...

I'm going to assume its a P0720 code??? So yes you should be able to get the sensor at your local part store.

Do you have a bigger pic of that TH Racing?

Don't sweat it... I've spent the weekend painting the shop floor WHITE and getting my stuff together for doing A/C work... So in a few days I'll see the DVD and see if I can break it down...

Actually... Check for error codes first... You'll find that APPS sensor problems don't trip the CEL light... I would try the calibrate the APPS but skip the wiring mod... If you think about it the truck ran fine for all these years and now needs a wiring mod... Doubt it... More than likely the APPS sensor is going bad in one spot and got a wild change in voltage which is being picked up by the PCM and it can decide if your accelerating or coasting... Hence the lock up and un locking... After taking with Timbo he found that if you replace the APPS sensor typically the problem goes away... Just my 2 cents...

Yeap...

Basically did the wire get corroded? Is the connector bad or damaged?

The fact of the matter is that I've been down that road many times... I've worked with Vbulletin for quite a long time really as a member, moderator, and now as a adminstrator and owner. That's the only reason I've got a clue on what to do. As for that DVD (SQL file backup) did you get on shoved out in the mail?

Great keep them coming...

No kidding... I had one bed down on my nice clean polish valve cover with the electric blanket going (block heater)... I fix his rose rear end with a box a de-con... But yes little critters can build homes in just about anything in a matter of minutes...

I know it won't hurt it to just move it around but the dirt and debris problem is critical... I like SASQCH idea...

Here is the VP44 error codes I could fine... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/vp44-replace/vp44-error.htm But there is always the rare case the VP44 is going nuts... Now as for the error codes you might double check the P0122 code... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/apps/apps-codes.htm The P0117 is ECT sensor volts are low. Is there a broken wire?

Hey gang... Lets see some pictures of your truck. Now there is a catch though.. I want to see pictures of your truck working hard. I don't want to see the glossy show and shine pics. I want to see some good hard working truck that get dirty and get the job done... Also remember there is a photo gallery here... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/album.php Because I've got a wild hair thinking about creating a video of our truck and how they work hard... So let gather up those pictures. If you got videos to share with the group you can with youtube but I might ask you for a copy of the video too so I might use it...

Here is a list of stackable chips... http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AnSSynupeX5LcE9xWnlqYXlKbzhOMnR3Y2UyRkM0QlE&gid=0

That's a way of holding on to a few nickles till it time... yeah you really don't need the hosting till its ready... As a matter of fact I could even set you up with a temp. Domain name so I can login to your computer and help you work through you problems... http://www.dyndns.com/ This software will give you a domain name so then you can temporary host your VB to the net and allow people like me to aid you while you doing your construction... Another crazy idea from M73M...

Oh yeah they got to make money some how...

Did you get to play with Wamp Server yet?

Nope sound correct and good... The sound you might be hearing is a mild form of turbo bark as you winding up tight and getting high boost and dump you foot out of the throttle the turbo starts spining down rapidily and the compressed air tries to excape back out the turbo. As for boost pressure soon good too 31 PSI I'm pulling 34 PSI with my Edge comp...

I personally don't think its worth it (IMHO) but you might take it... As for common setup and control issues you could hit there support forum for free at... http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/ Or got to the offical mod forum... http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/portal.php Usually you can get a answer to your problems but even then don't expect instant results. Typically I hang back with all updates to see how bad or buggy it is before I hop forward to the next sub level.

Just sent a Wild and Free a PM and seewhat he says about it...

Separate systems... If the nydro boost goes out techincally the brake would loose the booseter thats all the brakes will still function but take more effort to stop. But there is another problem if there is a system failure with debris involved then the debris is pumped system wide and both systems will take on damage including the pump. Remember the only thing that lubes the part is the fluid... Then there is is no filter in the system... so it best to change PS fluid about once a year or 30K miles...
