Time for a new MAP sensor...Cleaning rarely every fixes a error code problemed sensor...

Actually I seen a Ford running JP-8 or jet fuel. He's running about 1.5 to 2 quarts of 2 cycle oil. But he's getting the JP-8 free so the only cost he's got is the 2 cycle oil. Here is the orignal source... http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/FAQ/di ... oved_fuels

I'm running the BHAF from VulcanPerformance... It only cost $40 bucks... It lasted 5 years and 102K miles so far of dust dirt roads. The turbo and intake is clean! http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/personal/2002/bhaf/bhaf.htm And the link to VulcanPerformance... http://www.vulcanperformance.com/Search ... earch=BHAF

Ok... Here is the low down on filters...The whole CAI (Cold air intake) is over rated. The fact that colder air does produce more HP/TQ but there is a couple of problems.1. The turbocharger will heat the air as it pressurized. So it up to the intercooler to cool it back down.2. There is a coolant passage in the manifold that re-heats the air.Now the 2nd one I studied heavily. The fact is the IAT temp start out the same as outside air temp while the engine is cold so as the coolant temp rises the IAT temp will start to rise over outside air temp. Then it typically settles at about +40*F over outside air temp. It doesn't matter if you have a pipe all the way to the grill, stock air box or BHAF without a heat shield it remain the same rule. +40*F over outside air temps at 195*F worth of coolant.So now looking at the filter media... I'm not fond of any kind of oiled filter because of the fact like you pointed out that if you can see pin holes that means dirt can get thorugh. Not to mention if you wash the filter the wrong way you can litterally push the dirt to the other side of the filter and allow the engine to suck it in next time. Now the BHAF is a completely seal filter media. It a dry media that does require washing, oiling, etc. I've cleared over 102K miles on mine and still going. I installed my filter minder in the head of the filter and it not moving yet. But I do test the filter minder and its still working fine...Now a MPG secret I found... If the IAT sensor rises above 100*F the MPG jump upwards towards 21-23 MPG's! So is colder air really needed??? :confused:

I need to remove the lead out of my boot and slow down again. My Cooper STT tire got me knocked down to about 15-16 MPG hauling around here locally with firewood. Then it don't help running nearly full throttle 80-85 MPH to fire shed for fire calls. Yeap we have about 6 fire locally and a nasty thunder storm coming in tonight here. 8| So I listening to ther radio closely. So the whole idea of me pushing for high mPG is just insane right now but it sure hurts the pocket when MPG are down. So to aid in my adventure... I'm going to switch out my Coopers STT for my Big O AT's, then try to keep my speed down to 55 MPH unless its a fire call... Then if I got to haul up forestry roads us my ATV for that... LOL

Wow that great... Now we got a baseline gain /loss figure... :thumbsup Keep up the testing I want to see more! :D :smart

Same setup... Works good don't it??

Yeap you going to need both the error codes and fuel pressure... ;)

P0230 - Transfer Pump (Lift Pump) Circuit Out of Range Problem detected in fuel transfer pump circuits.P0234 - Turbo Boost Limit Exceeded Problem detected in turbocharger wastegate.Ok. The P0230 mean that the current load of the lift pump curcuit is too high or too low. Too high is like when the rotor or moter shaft is seized or too low would be like the lift pump is disconnected.The P0234 is from the wastegate being rusted shut if stock.

Awwww... Did you get left out of the picture??? (The humor) LOL Well with everything happen here I kind of be side tracked with 3 forest fires going and be hopping with Salmon River Rural Fire Dept. So would you be graceous to re-explain your issue again and maybe some else might get an idea too... :confused:

Yeap I use Scott's TP rolls too... You can use any tight wound TP you want but do get the jumbo rolls they have a different roll size (cardboard).

P1691 Fuel Injection Pump Controller Calibration Error Internal fuel injection pump failure. Low power, engine derated, or engine stops. Seems like your VP44 is going out for a dirt nap... Look for places with good warranty and low price. Try my small list of vendors... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/dealers/dealers.htm

It might? But that is seriously odd though... :confused: I figured with the additional load of the A/C compressor it would increase the EGT and boost not drop it...

Well... I got another first for the books my fan controller is acting weird... low position is no working at all but all the other positions are working. I'm going to assume the fan resistor in the HVAC is shot...

Gear box is shot... I had this exact same problem on my old 1972 Dodge Pickup. The power valve inside is only opening in the one direction and the other direct the pin leans over and doesn't open the valve...

Sad but true... APPS sensor ALWAYS throws a code if it fails even only for a split second. But a failing VP44 might and might not trip a code at all but throw a dead pedal at you...

Hmmm... Good one... I would check your filters (cheap and easy) then check your suction line and pickup assembly... Since its a 100 series I could bet money the pickup screen in the tank could be plugging up (maybe).Kind of doubt the gauge is bad... Unless its a electric gauge WITHOUT a needle valve... Then the sender could be getting beat up by the VP44 pulses...

Get the engine with the ECM on it then you go either way... But I would still suggest a SO engine if at all possible (still with the ECM on it).

You might be sorry if you did that... You might actual stay here... LOL Well you could check that by twisting the compressor pulley with the belt off and check the pulley bearing then twist the hub and check the compressor internals for grity or grinding feeling...

I've seen the same article too...

Man it a wild goose chase for you... I don't think the ECM is the problem though...

Well APPS sensor when it fails it will ALWAYS throw a P0121, P0122, or P0123 error code... Since no error codes are present then it most likely going to be you VP44... 8| http://www.bluechipdiesel.com/vp44diagnostichelp.html

Still no codes? :confused:

I swapped out my Big O AT tires (235/85 R16) for my offroad Cooper STT tires (265/75 R16) and lost -4 MPG's just heading down to Ontario, OR for my front ABS sensor being repair. I dropped from 21-23 MPG (Big O AT) down to 16-17 MPG (Cooper STT). Tire a huge impact on MPG's...

Good ol' Idaho people are helpful... ;)
