Broke fuel line
Similar to this one... (Number 2) Or... (Number 1)

compound LP turbo
I think that is the problem with most guys that start moding there truck... The fact that when we start adding fuel we always add more boost but get carried away with the boost numbers. Like I found out on Taz's 92 he's got a HX35 mounted in place of the H1C that came stock. He's got a VE pump with 366 gov spring and the poump turned up and re-index the arm. But he burying the boost gauge at 30+ PSI and never getting pyro above 600-700*F... well as we back down the boost pressure to about 20-25 PSI the pyrometer started to come up and power increased too. It's very possible to to flood the engine with too much air basically blowing out the flame.

Time to bite it :) - which CHIP - Edge/MVP/Smarty
Hmmm... Sorry for the delay... (Busy site building) But you need separate send for each gauge... Can't piggy back them. The sender for ISSPro with not work with the Edge properly and visa-versa...

Vacuum Leak Problem?
Now just pressure the system to about 20 PSI and see if the wastegate moves too...

Power steering mystery
Your going to have to figure out the source of the leak and deal with that... But I'm starting to wonder if the pump is damaged too? (Burning the fluid) All the other device in the system don't create heat... Only the pump does so the idea of the fluid scorching is rather strange unless there is a bearing problem? (Maybe)

Add on mods in progress
Yeah 4WD front ends are fun to beat on get ball joints in or out... I'm doing a 2WD right now... I waiting on the new joints to show tuesday... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/showthread.php/1453-Rebuild-a-1st-Gen-front-end

changed the coolant today
Because the the last 1-2 gallons is trapped in the bottom of the block and usually the air trapped in the system takes time to burp out... So like I said you'll get close with 5 gallons... Next time I flush mine out I'll get pics of the way I park my truck for draining...

Rebuild a 1st Gen front end

Steering Box
Funny... I use to head into NAPA and just get a rebuild kit for the steering box and normally came with every seal and O-ring. But... W&F and has point there if the part are wore out and loose then a rebuild kit won't fix that but it would repair a leaky seal but if the bearings / sleeves are shot it will soon wear the seals out again...

Giving Big Blue the Edge
Actually I would still chase it for the sake of timingto help improve the MPG bracket... No one said you going to race the quarter mile... Or a circle track...

What for exhaust?
Ok so the T post idea doesn't work...
-
Broke fuel line
Glad to see your getting it fixed up... Sound like you have part issues as well like myslef... I've got a job with ball joints that is getting annoying quickly...
-
What for exhaust?
I get drone all while pulling my wood trailer and a full load on the bed... But I'm straight piped 3"... As ofr empty travel its quiet for the most part... But I found the drone seems to increase more so as you increase the pipe diameter. As W&F had mention the muffler move forward helps a bunch. But another one I heard about is changing the censity of the pipe by straping a fence T post to the pipe... I've not tested this idea but I hear if you change the density of the pipe (T post) the drone resinance will change too...

Lift Pump Leak
Assuming a stock lift pump? Then no you must replace the lift pump... This is a known issue with stock carters...
-
Little help ?
Well knowning that I would consider pulling it out and replacing it then... Why? Because if your running a stock pump the only pre-filter is that sock screen now. so if there is a way for the dirt to pass it it will... The worst part is if there is any metal debris in the tank then the metal has a chance of by-passing the screen and going right into the lift pump and sticking to the magnets of the lift pump motor. This in turn will take the chance of locking the lift pump or wearing the motor brushes out. Remember since the stock lift pump bypasses fuel there the motor chamber that means the debris is cirulated around and around the motor of the lift pump... Boy I'm glad i got a AD150... Filter before the pump and a filter after the pump... And then the pump motor is not bathed in diesel fuel like stock Carters...

changed the coolant today
Ahhh... You got caught... Yes the coolant capacity is 6 gallons. But the problem is that you have a tough time getting the last gallon out unless you put the truck on a steep nose down slope. Then you can drain it out. As for filling it up you got to turn the truck around to aid in air removal so have the truck in a steep up hill slope. I typically see about 5-5.5 gallons doing it this way. As for the heater there is no vacuum control valve like older versions. The heater core is directly plumbed to the block. Some also pull a heater hose at the block to aid in air removal.

Add on mods in progress
Not a problem... Do me a favor though and give Debbie a call back and tell her you would like to see her become a vendor on the site... I'll add her in as soon as I see her! All I got to say about ball joints... They are not fun to do... I got Taz's 92 Dodge D350 in my shop right now and the front end tore apart... Now I'm hoping I can find a new set of ball joints... (Long story)

injector replacement parts
Air in the fuel? Bad O rings? My problem is just the shear age of the injectors since the previous owner admit to putting on over 400K miles on them...

Quadzilla Milage Max
Tell you the truth I seen where the bigger boxes like Edge Comp and Juice cranked up fully get more timing out there but its up to you to control the fuel flow with your foot. But if you use cruise a bit more and set for lower speeds you can see even more gains. The fact is the higher boost you run the less timing you'll see from ANY box. This will give you a clue... RPM increse to the right... MAP pressure increase from bottom up... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=663

Cab leak
Thats a good one... Hmmm... Door seals, windshield glue leaking, windows seals, a-pillar seals (rubber plugs), etc... Just a few quick ideas of where to look. I've actually seen where windshields actually dripped right on the carpet below...
-
Little help ?
Strange... When I took mine out I don't remember seeing those at all... Unless you got the lift pump in the tank...

Sit in your garage and plow your driveway.
Right on... I wish... But Idaho snow would bury that poor thing... LMAO! 4-5 feet!

Killer VP44 thread...
Ok I'm curious of your current fuel pressure? As for the 2 cycle oil comment... :lmao2:I've been to a injection shop in Lewiston, ID and the guys keep given me Stanadyne. I keep use 2 cycle oil and selling the Stanadyne to someone else. But My VP44 is over the 116K miles and still going. I've been using 2 cycle oil nearly 100K miles now! Yeap its been that long... But I'm still seeing 20-22 MPG roughly. So I know the 2 cycle oil isn't the cause of the problem... I also know 2 cycle oil CORRECTS injector problems. I've currently got a set of RV275 injectors that miss randomly at idle ONLY if I forget the 2 cycle oil. But The injectors have over 400K miles on them so if I pull a few more miles out them with 2 cycle oil good for me!

injector replacement parts
Here is the best pic I've got... You can see the o-ring on the connector tube which is really standard... There is a o-ring on the injectors then the copper seal and the tip of the injector...
