Actually lifespan is what the pop tester shows. If you have Bosch OEM injector (Stock that came with my truck in 2002) now pop test 150 miles later and find the injector is under by 30 bar. Right out of the Dodge FSM... 4,250 PSI is equal to 293 bar 4,500 PSI is equal to 310 bar 4,750 PSI is equal to 327 bar. I'm set for 320 bar. Still under the spec. Once to dive under 290 or 280 the spray pattern gets rather large droplets and the efficiency is gone for the most part you can see a drop in MPG's. Even my stock injectors after 150k miles pop tested by DAP were at 260 bar after mere 150k miles. Well below the minimum pop pressure of 293 bar. Just like @pepsi71ocean he had a set of injectors after 28k miles lost 10 bar and put him at 280 bar. Started causing stalling issues. Like @Me78569 and a few other found after 330 bar it can cause hard starting in sub zero. At 320 bat I've had ZERO issue with hard starting all the way down to -40*F in New Meadows winter. MPG has been good. Then the engine load I'm low of 7 to 9% current. Still got lots of life in these injectors. Like @Ethan Shepherd when I installed a injection pump in his truck its got a 180k (some odd) miles and the injectors are wasted. The idle is 900 RPM and engine load is ZERO. The ECM can no longer defuel enough to get the idle down to 800 RPM. Like another member in Ontario, OR he's got about 150k miles on his truck and the engine load is ZERO. The idle RPM is 825 he just starting to lose the idle hold and the pop pressure has finally fallen enough to raise idle slightly. About 100k to 150k it seems to start loosing the idle control and pop pressure is below 293 bar.

I just unhook the grid heater positive lead. From April to October my grid heaters are unhooked. Then from October to April I hook them back up for the winter season. MPG fooler prevents the pre heat of the grid heater but doesn't help with post heat.

Like he said it doesn't help. But now as the ratio goes from 3.55 and lower towards 3.40 you start adding consider engine loads towing heavy trailers and could possibly add a bunch to EGT's. Also keep in mind that for every 1 pound of rotational mass you ditch is equal to pulling 8 pounds off the frame. Bigger tires are adding that rotational mass. That would get you back to 3.58 calc to the ground. Like myself I've switch to 245/75 R16 tires that is a 30 inch tire. Towing even with +150 HP Injectors and Quadzilla on KILL I can hold road speeds of 65 MPH and climb 6% and 7% grades to Arizona without tipping 1,200*F. My RV is 8,500 GVWR and 31 foot long giving me a total of 62 feet long and about 17,300 GCW. +150 HP Injectors (7 x 0.010) HX35/40 Turbo (60/60/12) Quadzilla (My towing tune) 245/75 R16 Tires 3.55 Gears (4WD and solid axles) 14.7 MPG MAX, 12.6 MPG AVG

No. Bosch injectors have shorter life span. This why I shifted to custom build and up the pop pressure to enhance the lifespan. 100k to 150k max for Bosch. Then on top none of them are flow matched and none are check for margins. Just 6 random picked injectors. At least all custom injectors are flow matched for volume and for pressure. Like mine are within 3% but pressure and flow.

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.
