IAT and MAP senors
Yeap that was one of the features to the 24V VP44 pumped engines that the timing was completely dynamic over the VE or P-pumped trucks. But I got to admit the p-pumped truck has less failure with injection pumps and produced more power moded. Back to the OP But as for the chip I would look into a chip that tas the VP44 wire like Edge or Quadzilla... Those will give you more bang for the buck in power but also give you a desent gain in MPG if driven right.

IAT and MAP senors
Don't want to step on toes but I'm going to add in on the sensors... IAT its used for grid heater yes... But it also controls timing advancement and such too. Not much on fuel rate but does control it some. The reason for cleaning the IAT more that the MAP is because the carbon residue from the exhaust brake usage will coat the bare leads in the sensor and offset the resistance value since carbon is a natural conductor. MAP sensor really don't gain much from clean other than the reassurance that the oily residue doesn't gum up the sensor over time.

Cold weather and timing
Depending on temp outside... I normally see roughly 14.3 (hot day) to 14.7 (cold day). Opps... I just relize the fire radio still on in the truck...:rolleyes2: More the voltage run I guess...

Ok how old are you???
Ed... I'm no worse when it comes to that...:shocked: Ummm... I still got my orignal Atari 400 and Atari 800 computers with the Indus GT floppy drive. Then I got bucket loads of games and software. But my prize piece I still got is the Forum software I ran back in California in high school. I ran a little BBS board with a 2400 Baud modem and 3 other floppy drives. Back then hard drive were just starting to come out and were expensive! I guess I never grew out of it being when I moved to Idaho I bought my first real PC computer and got a copy of Wildcat BBs and fired back up again. Then I move over to building web sites. Just never quit...

remove torque management
Actually all 1998.5 and up have torque management... It basically is controlled by speed of travel. Once you get past 20-30 MPH it released... Wow! Interresting... Well around here we are looking for long life of the truck not broken parts...

Cold weather and timing
D'Oh! :bang: Ok... Batteries charged up... 12.8 Volts Then using my high idle (3 cylinder mode 13*F at the IAT) drops to... 11.5 Volts After the grid heaters kick out... 12.2 Volts Geez... It nice just push SG II menu button and flip a switch for the worse case...

ATV fun...
No doubt... I got to admit even in the summer time its still fun but sure hate life trying to get all the dust out of your nose... :shocked2: Since i bought my ATV in the spring I've gotten over 1.6K miles on mine... I also managed to build enough trails that I can nearly ride all the way to town without riding on paved highways. But with the snow around here I really could use a plow blade and make a few buck plowing driveways...

ATV fun...
Chuck that truely sucks to throw your back out trying to yank start anything... As for the carb choke problems... I've seen on my sled and other small engine were the choke slide gums up and stick and you'll end up using way to much force trying to move it. (SNAP!) Or even worse water got down in the cable and froze!

Ok how old are you???
I always thought I would be 21 for the rest of my life... Even though I'm looking down the barrel of 40's! :eek:

Cold weather and timing
Well crap... My truck has been sitting for 4 days in the shop plugged in. I went out and Toggle the ScanGauge II to show voltage and with the key off and nothing one is floating 12.0 to 12.1 volts. But since the block heater is plugged in there was no voltage drop because the manifold is 112*F... So I got to leave the truck outside... As for the batteries it looks like new batteries will be coming soon... If the voltage is falling off during a 4 day park...:shocked:

more information
Taz you might want to put a small description on your links about what there for... Then people know what there chasing...

Dead Pedal, won't shift out of first
ISX has is about whipped there... I'm pretty sure there is a speed sensor on the tailshaft area of the trasnsmission. This would be the one you want to change out. But as long as the error code is present the trans will remain in limp mode and continue to shift in this style.

Safety! Be informed before you leave!
Hey Gang! I know its wintertime but its smart to be informed of the weather condition and road conditions before you venture out on the highway in Idaho... So here is the weather pages for Idaho. Boise http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/boi/ Pocatello, ID http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/pih/ Missoula, MT (NE Side of Idaho) http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mso/ Spokane, WA (NW side of Idaho) http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/otx/ Then for Highway information go to... http://511.idaho.gov/ Like for my local cameras near me... (Just south of me by 10 miles) http://hb.511.idaho.gov/cameras/District_3_Boundary.html
