Installing Isspro FP gauge in stock 01
It's never a waste of time. These trucks should of came with... Pyrometer (0 to 1,600*F) Boost gauge (0 to 35 PSI) Fuel Pressure (0 to 30 PSI) Transmission Temp (100 to 280*F) - Even on manuals. Boost gauge would let you know if there is boost issues, wastegate malfunctions, Overboost, Boost leaks, etc. Always good to monitor boost pressure. I tend to like brass being its self sealing and doesn't require thread sealant.

Cannabis
Like now in Ontario, OR there is Weedology and Burnt River Farms. I really come to like Burnt River Farms. They have a wider range of cannabis products. Now I'm going to suggest you stay to a Sativa strain of cannabis. Then lean more so on the CBD side and light on the THC side this way you can get relief of pain. Sativa strains tend to be more of a head high and don't pull you down as bad. Indica is more of body high and terms as "Indica is in the couch". Tend to make you body relax fully and great for sleeping aid. Like I jumped into the vape cartridges to see what it all about. I will warn you here and now the oils used are WAY WAY stronger. One toke is enough to get you ripped. I've got a tiny setup called the tank. The cartridge is a THC of 75% and just a trace of CBD. Very potent. As for flower there is all kind out there. Like Hotbox CBD sells Hemp flower which is mostly CBD and just trace amounts of THC. Like AC/DC Hemp is one strain that is in this list. The problem is since there is little THC there is no way to sense how much dose you've taken since its won't give you any per se high. This why I tend to like some THC so you can figure out dosing and get feedback from your body. In any case there is no way to OD on cannabis products. The worst case would be a good night sleep. Like for me I enjoy the pain relief it give when I get home from work. Typically my lower back and hips are sore and hurting. No problem get everything done for the day and hit the cannabis. Now I tend to like the smoke because I now to the point that I can take a toke or two and just enough to relieve pain but not get me messed up. Still function around the house. Now once bedtime is near then I'll break out and smoke a bowl. This now gets my night time dose and I sleep good. I wake up feeling great in the morning. When selecting cannabis flower you want to get something that is pleasing to the nose. Most shops will bring the container to the counter and allow you to smell different strains. I've got one now called "Garlic, Mushrooms, and Onions Cookies" sounds rather nasty but the smell is of garlic and onions. When you smoke it, it has the flavor of mushrooms kind of earthy taste. Then like my Vape Pen is "Huckleberry Diesel" go figure a diesel head like me. First toke you taste the huckleberry flavor slightly. When you exhale the diesel flavor comes out. Kind of piney taste. Like at Burnt River Farms they have video boards up that show strain name, what THC and CBD amounts, then is it a Sativa, Indica or Hybrid. You going to want to find a Sativa, lo THC and more CBD if possible. Talk to the counter person and explain what your after. They will help you out in getting just what you want.

Installing Isspro FP gauge in stock 01
We used a brass 1/8 NPT coupler. Then just soldered the brass fitting to the steel angle iron. Just test fit you PTC fitting and the sensor in the fitting. If all works you good to go. Mine was built with steel fittings and Eric @ Vulcan Performance tack welded mine in place. I do like @mr.obvious choice of placement of his bracket really good spot.

Borg Warner sxe300 62 65 14 turbo :)
Yup. I will. Things I've learned on the Quadzilla. You need to find out how much timing the engine will allow but running WOT up the RPM band. Keep inching the timing up in all RPM placements till bucking is felt then back of a degree or so. Then you found you max timing. Now set the 2 retard curves. One is load based timing and how much retard happens at low throttle. Then there is a second retard which is for sudden high throttle and how quickly it drop and are resumes the performance timing. As you figure this out you can place the peak power where you which. Most of my past tunes I was building with a peak in the 1,500 to 2,000 RPM realm. Fuel mapping is nice too because once the turbo starts to spool you can map to pour on the fuel after its spooled up. Turbo relies on drive pressure from the engine. So to get instant spool up you need to drop a fair amount of retard to push more expanding gases at the turbine. Now once its spooled you can resume the advancement and then continue to add fuel to the fire and it will continue to build. A trick I'm still studying is oil temp vs coolant temperature. If timing is overly advanced the oil temperature will be higher than coolant temperature. This is because the cylinder walls are exposed to more flame and the coolant jacket near the oil cooler is soaked with excessive heat. As you retard timing the flame moves up in the stroke more into the head more. This where the typical -10*F of oil temp comes from. As injectors get bigger the timing has to be increased, period there is no way around it. With more fuel you need more time to get the fuel to go from liquid mist, to vapor, to BANG! but do it in such a manner that the BANG! is productive and pushing that piston the most it can. That 14cm2 I really wonder what will happen and how it will respond. Don't get me wrong I'm very curious of the turbo and what it will do. 65/62/14 should be good sizes on the turbine and compressor but just not sure of the 14cm2. side of things. Will there be enough focus of the exhaust gases to get it to spin? Time will tell.

No one know what caused mine as of yet. Still in all I can test nothing till I can connect the engine to the wheel with a transmission. Sorry @Evan...

Second best option for headlights
I've ran the Sport Headlights too but the pattern sucked. The Aux inbound light don't cast light on the ground very well at all. The path is very narrow. Even with the relay mod for the light to have both hi and lo beams pattern was bad. I even figured out how to do this mod with only 2 relays instead of 4 relays.Didn't matter lighting sucked. Dark of Idaho nad winter nights you just could see at all. Morimoto D2S now the light isn't just focused on the road. It covers all the way into the road side and another 30 or so feet easy. Then vertically I can light up a 50 foot tall tree at the top on high beams. Beam pattern is way better. Beam pattern is awesome and you can see an easy 1 mile down road without struggling. No need in blinding people either the Morimoto have a good cut off on lo beam. Lighting wise my PIAA 530 LED Driving light blow the doors of the Morimoto for brightness. These are street legal LED driving lights. Not like light bars which are not legal for highway use. Just a mere 15w LED lights. These thing light up a path in front of the truck super bright. They are so bright that in snow conditions you got to turn them off it will make you snow blind in a short time from the reflected light. Even on my 1996 Dodge I changed out the stock headlights for clear lens (non-sport) and halogen SilverStar bulbs and those suck too. Pattern is all wrong. Again the pattern is too narrow and hotspots on the roadway but very dim as the pattern reaches the road edge. Anything off the side of the road like a deer you'll never see it. Yup. I've installed switch back bulbs on the little half ton too.

14cm2 might be too laggy. I would not be able to run it. 12cm2 yes no problem that would have good spool up and clear smoke fast. The common is a 62/68/12 most people like that as a street turbo. Still in all the magic is in timing. More timing will make the EGT's cooler also drop the cruising boost to near zero. This is why I cruise at 80 MPH (2,500 RPM) at mere 650*F EGT's and about 4 to 5 PSI. Timing wise I'm around 26.89* of timing. Smarty capped out long ago at like 19*.

Borg Warner sxe300 62 65 14 turbo :)
Like @Me78569 posted... 7 x 0.010 injectors and HX35/40 which is just a (60/60/12) small upgrade ot the stock HX35W (54/60/12). Still spools fairly fast and get the job done with cool EGT's. But the other half of the magic is Smarty doesn't give the timing control you need to get the job done with cool EGT's. Personally, I don't think a turbo will fix that problem I just think the smarty is too retarded creating the high EGT's. As most of you know I managed to eat the teeth off of 5th gear with my setup.

NV4500 broke...
Fly by wire not really. It pulls hard not quite a full WOT mash job. Only 1,700 microseconds of wire tap. Most of the magic is the steeper timing curve I'm running pushing the power band up in the 2,500 realm of the tach. Needless to say I still think think the input shaft has a bit of say in this too. This is another reason I've keep the small tires and the tune was very capable of lighting the tires up.

NV4500 broke...
Close to 500 HP. Did it on the interstate west Caldwell in the 80 MPH zone. Back off for semi truck to pass another. When it was clear rolled into the power and hit resume on the cruise. 5th gear disappeared. Drove home in 4th. I was building my performance tune for the Quadzilla apparently its very strong tune. Now that is twice I've broke something and it's not lube failure. First was the main shaft with my Edge Comp and +50 HP.

Cannabis
Killing cancer simply put by a biochemist, when THC connects to the CB1 or CB2 cannabinoid receptor site on the cancer cell, it induces an increase in ceramide synthesis that leads to cell death. A normal cell does not produce ceramide when it is near THC; therefore it is not affected by the cannabinoid. The reason the cancer cell dies is not because of the cytotoxic chemicals, but because there is a small shift in the mitochondria. The purpose of the mitochondria within a cell is to produce energy for the cell to use. As the ceramide is produced, it turns up the sphingolipid rheostat. This production increases the mitochondrial membrane permeability to cytochrome c, which is vital protein in energy synthesis. The cytochrome c is then pushed out of the mitochondria, which ultimately kills the source of energy for that particular cell. The presence of ceramide leaves no possibility of cancer cell survival. This is because it causes genotoxic stress in the cancer cell that generates a protein call p53, which disrupts the calcium metabolism in the mitochondria. Ceramide also disrupts the cell’s digestive system that produces nutrients for all cell function, and actively inhibits pro-survival pathways. The key to the cancer killing process is the accumulation of ceramide in the system. This means that by taking THC rich cannabis extract (with the minimum of 55% THC) ,at a steady rate over a period of time the patient will keep metabolic pressure on these cancer cell death pathways.

Engine wouldn't cut off then NO BUS
Yeah Edge Juice does hook up to the OBDII port and could possibly foul the CCD network easy.

W-T ground mod
@JAG1 The only thing I can think of was data was lost during the server move. Remember we upgraded servers back in winter of 2019. As for the lost section there is nothing I can do. The website is so massive that I can only hold 1 copy of the website for one day. Then a new backup is created the next morning. Since its not just found there is nothing I can do to recover this data. The only thing I could hope for is @W-T to repost the missing data for us. I know he was part of the California fire (Paradise Valley) and he lost all his stuff in the fire. Either way I look at it its gone nothing either one can do unless @W-T would be gracious and replace that missing section. So the only thing I can do at this point is say "I'm sorry for the loss of data" and move on. I don't have a magic wand to roll back time, I don't have endless resources. Just sorry it happened.

Check the headlight fuses too. What happens is the fuse blows out for hat side then it leeches power from the functional side to light up dim. Double check the fuses in the PDC.

When I'm driving 1,000 miles a week its pretty easy to do. Now I've just transfer the 1,000 a week to my 1996 Dodge 1500. Just about got 2k on the the gasser just this month alone.

Heater on all time
I just ran across another truck with a heater treated upgrade and the shaft continues to spin endlessly. The blend door has broken away from the shaft and the shaft just spins. I'm going to be forced to pull the entire HVAC case and replace the blend door. That was the first thing I check on this truck was the stepper motor and if the shaft was metal or plastic. Since the stepper motor still turns this means its a damaged blend door.

1999 Ram 2500 lost fifth gear
Ok my numbers are off from memory but I know it not something you can just beat the nut on with a hammer. Seen way too man of those redneck video of guys using a hammer a chisel. Your going to need a spline socket as well to hold the output shaft.

ECM or APPS
Most likely a poor quality APPS with electronics. Stock APPS has electronics to select the IVS (Idle Validation Switch) for which mode of operation. Now Timbo's on the other hand is a completely true mechanical APPS and has ZERO electronics. As you can see here is totally based on bell crank angle and not on voltage. Once it crosses the boundary from idle to throttle the logic toggles automatically. Not like the Stock APPS... As you can see the stock APPS has electronics to detect voltages and set the logic of the IVS switches. This in turn notifies the ECM of what mode of operation either THROTTLING or IDLING. If in idle mode then the ECM ignores the APPS sensor and uses its own internal idle software. Then with the voltage rises above the set limit then the IVS flip flops and then tells the ECM to watch the APPS sensor voltage.

NV4500 broke...
Stems more from the pilot bearing falling out of the flywheel. The pilot bearing has been out of the flywheel for a long time. There was groove wore in the flywheel face. This changes how torque is applied to the counter shaft and the stress placed on the input shaft bearing. Then excessive gear play in the counter shaft. How long was the pilot bearing out I'm not sure but for there to be a groove in the flywheel tells me for quite some time. Temp wise even failed ran 160 to 170F. No change, no rise. Oil wasn't even dark, just full of glitter. Also it doesn't help that I was in the process of building a performance tune, added more power. No where like you with RV275 injectors. 150 HP VCO (7 x 0.010) and Quadzilla on kill mode. Then the only things replaced previously was bearings, syncros, mainshaft, and larger 5th gear (hard facing was bad in the bearing hub).

There is the W-T ground mod you need to do. I've got to ask which APPS did you get?

ECM or APPS
Dead pedal is typically either APPS or a VP44. Limited pedal is typically a ECM. Dead pedal is when it idles only with no throttle response. Limited pedal you can drive the truck but limited to low speed typically.

Like mine is right at 392k miles. Then transmission crapped out. Oh well. Back to the 96 Dodge in the meantime till I get the transmission fixed. Also gotta order a clutch. Both of our Cummins is still younger in the mileage realm.
