Thank you for the wonderful gift and they are still holding up wonderfully!

First off I gotta ask what year, make and model of vehicle and how many miles?

I just went with the single DIN face plate and then the wiring adapter years ago. Front speakers are 6 x 9. Then the rears are 6 inch rounds.

Ok setup just don't go any bigger. You basically are more like 3.42 gears to the ground. Optimal is between 3.55 and 3.73 final to the ground. Im running 30 inch tires which is 3.69 gears to the ground. Mighty quick tire, I can take on 4th and 5th gens and still outrun them.

What sized tires are you running? What is your gear ratio?

Takes about 1 hour to do the wire mod

Boost leaks even massive will cause EGT to rise that much unless towing. I removed the wastewater hose left it open. Then pulled one bolt out the manifold. Even with all this blowing and whistling noises I drop maybe 5 to 7 PSI. EGTs only rose maybe 50 to 100°F. Still made 40 PSI.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic. As the brake ages it will collect the moisture from the air. It lowers the boiling point and adds moisture to the fluid and cause rusting and pitting of the wheel cylinders, master cylinder and calipers. As the moisture builds it will start to break down the rubber seals which is the black color your seeing. This means hoses could be thinning inside and cause one way blisters that block flow.

I change oil every 10k miles now. I'm at about 9k now on the current oil. Either NAPA 15w-40 year round or Valvoline Blue 15w-40 year round. I don't use any additives at all or synthetics. 419k miles...

If you just add +10 HP to it and went with +50HP injectors are going to more available. RV275s are in short supply because of the COVID shut down.

Do the W-T ground wire mod and the diode issue is mute. No longer having issues with diodes all has stopped.

Thank Gawd I opted for an open diff and not that limited slip. You most likely need to take care of the clutch pack.

I've considered traveling to helping other members. Just not sure how to go about this and keep it profitable. I've actually had members willing to pay plane tickets for me to come out and fix their trucks. At the time I couldn't being @MoparMom (RIP) was my biggest concern now I'm a free agent and willing to help people with their trucks.

We have the kits here too...

Nope not at all. A customer coming to get work done and camp out. Not unheard of. I just had @JAG1 and @IBMobile here last time. @IBMobile on the left and @JAG1 on the right. Just fixing my power window for me. With me there is limited cell signal but heading toward bigger cities no problem. Nice ot have a streaming music and different music now and then. My MP3 pile is huge (37.6 GB) and well played.

If we could get together I would demo it all you wished. Actually its pretty cheap when you compare HP/per dollar. Quadzilla is the biggest HP tuner for our truck at 180 HP possible. Where Edge Products being next in line at 150 HP and still $1,050 for less. Quadzilla is $699. Less money more from the tuner. Really wanna feel the pinch... Smarty Touch as a complete package is next to $1,800 for the full tuning ability but it still only 60 HP tuner. You need to add in the EGT probe which is extra, the unlocking dongle so you can program, then buy any VIN licenses so you can program. Smarty Touch is the most expensive for a tuner for our truck. But for CR engines its 200 HP roughly. Smarty Touch is just a very expensive Smarty S-03.

I am one of the few people. I'm not in Cally though but I do know where you at being it was once one of my old stomping grounds years ago. I could help you build a tune not much in it. Basically for timing you want the lowest engine load. Building tunes tends to take some time and testing so it not a instant build its several days of different conditions and work loads and see how it fairs. I can say you can crank up a lot of timing without much worry. It just getting it efficient and keeping logs so you can track it.

There is a rebuilder for just about anything out there you just gotta hunt around for one of these rebuilders. The only reason I spit that out so quick I used this very company to fix a injection pump on a 1984 Case C580 backhoe. The fly weight spring inside the governor was failed. Then ended up with a misfire and then found OEM injector that was defective missing a hole. Suppose to be 4 hole injectors and one only had 3 holes. This job was up in Anatone WA.

Well first it would be good if I got it finish first. If you really want to come out you got the spot under the tree there is 15A 120V power. Not bad, fair price. Just seems after that China radio which was feature rich for just a mere $29. Just the quality was really quite poor. Then hunt for a quality radio was on. Boss was one high on the list but mostly for the dual DIN stereo with a video screen. I kept filtering down the single DIN stereos looking. Needing to keep the hands free feature for phone use was important. Being a whole new line of stereos came out with Pandora and Spotify controls was more what I was after. Both are free music sources and work very well on my phone as well at home with my computer and Smart TV. I'll say this much don't try to set up the stereo with the face controls the menus are just too many. The Kenwood Remote App all you to connect to the stereo and configure light colors, speaker options etc on a touch screen of your phone is much easier.

Yes for now... Will upgrade soon... I've got a Amp in the shop I might just consider stuffing in. Sure. Actually I'm horsetrading right now for the dirt work and getting the water and power brought out to the spot.

Yes sir. Another member here @pepsi71ocean had a set of 100 HP injectors by DAP after 28k miles the pop pressure fell below 280 bar and start having stalling issues. Once re-popped stall issue went away. This just points out that new injectors can settle and drop nearly 10 bar in 30k miles. It happens. Heck even my previous +75HP (7 x 0.0085) only last 70k miles and start misfiring at idle hot. Again pop pressure was below 270 bar. One of my few reason with the 150 HP (7 x 0.010) I had popped at 320 bar giving me more longevity for these injectors. Cleaner spray less smoke. Problem is I do not suggest raising the pop pressure on anything less than 100 HP.

Well that cheap China radio pissed me off enough that it found my knuckles in the middle of the display and killed it. First I only paid $29 bucks for that cheap radio. It did work good for a while. First problem is the FM tuner quit. Then I had my back up camera crushed. Then the finally straw is the software error and locked up so you can't turn it on or off. You have to have a paperclip to reboot the software. Pow! Light out and done I quit! Dug around on Amazon and websites. I did a dig on the best 10 bluetooth stereos. Kenwood BT572-U is in the top ten. I wanted something that could control Pandora, Spotify, XM possibly. Found it. This radio is AM/FM as well. CD and MP3 player (disc). Then it has full bluetooth audio for both phone and music. The Pandora and Spotify are USB controlled. I've got a few software bugs yet setting up like Pandora for car launching. Other than that I'm impressed. I did a test phone call from the garage to Eileen in the bedroom she said the audio is much cleaner less static and background noises. Kenwood stereo comes with a cab mount mic for phone calls. Instead of having a remote for the stereo you use your phone as the remote if needed. All controls can be adjust through your phone much easier. There is no face plug like my previous stereos even my past Kenwood had USB and Audio IN in the front. This one has a USB plug in the back on a short cord about a foot long. This is the port I used for my phone in its craddle. Now that leaves an extra port now in the Quick Charger 3.0 in the dash. This Kenwood can handle 2 phones on bluetooth allowing a second person to play music as well. All you phone contact are diplayed on the stereo and are searchable for phone calls. Either resent calls or the full contact list. The other neat part is the CD slot is fully covered so dust isn't a huge issue like my previous Kenwood which I had to clean the eject roller often.

Like myself I typically run the Quad Headless. In other word I don't alway have the iQuad App running. Maybe want to listen to music. Maybe I don't want my phone display on all the time. Then I fall back to my normal gauges which are accurate. I can see ther important stuff like Boost, fuel pressure and EGT's on the a-pillar. Those gauges have warning light so I never really look at them hard. The red warning lamp and it level tells what is wrong. Here is the post on how to program ISSPro Gauges EV2

Any injection pump rebuilder would have that exact piece. I've got Idaho Diesel Technologies in Lewiston, ID would have that in stock right now. 129 20th St N, Lewiston, ID 83501 (208) 746-4422 Talk to Rick good man knows his injection pumps.
