  1. Here you go... Texas gents are creating a stink on FB too now... https://www.idahowildlife.org/deeds-reveal-billionaire-brothers-illegally-gated-public-road
  2. DAP sells both Midwest Injection and Industrial Injection pumps. Both are Certified Bosch rebuilders with Bosch 815 test stands.
  3. No option for me. I pass 3 wrecking yards 3 times a week and none of them even have a Dodge Truck in the yard. If they do it was sold before I get back.
  4. Yup. TPS will either jump to 100% or drop to 0% and toss a error code. MAP sensor you need to look for sudden changes in values or possibly lack of change like stuck value.
  5. This land happened to be Boise Cascade land for years. Open access to the national forest. These Texians bought the ground and closed it off. End of story. I know several people have looked into this and tried different things. I even heard of court hearings which I'm not sure if it happened or not. Another example is neighbor down the road from me. I have access to cross his land to access national forest to my water right. Gated, locked up, etc. Then the argument starts if I invite someone to access the land other than me. Or if my other neighbor that has land on the other side and want to allow someone access to hunt that land and national forest land. Again more arguments. What is very upsetting is that when I moved here 1990 you could access the National forest in many places. Now private land owners are locking down all access to the National forest and then USFS and Dept of Lands are closing roads so to make more money without every taking the roads off the register. US Gov't now provides the same tax money but they maintain less roads.
  6. To enable high idle: use a Smarty one time and it automatically enables or go to the dealer and have then enable high idle using the DRBIII tool. 6 Cylinder high idle is enabled at 32*F IAT with grid heater running. 3 Cylinder high idle is enabled at 15*F IAT with grid heater running.
  7. Same here. I was taken care of promptly and parts always sent with no issues.
  8. @dripley is right. I've got a second gauge in my tool box. I hook it up and test the dash gauge against the test gauge.
  9. They are blocking access to national forest that has been there for over 50 years. Now gated and locked! Hundreds of people have and still remains locked and closed. They have gone as far as putting trail cameras up and prosecuting people that are trespassing on their land. Again this is owned now by a Texas group and just gated off and locked to the public. There is 2 land parcels one in the McCall area by the same Texas group and another parcel in the New Meadows Area. Complete locked up.
  10. We've got a Texas group that came up here to Idaho and bought out large areas of ground and locking it off completely. Blocking access to the National Forest. Now these people need to have there *** kicked. Completely limiting my access to get firewood or hunting on public ground. Very large areas of ground are now closed and no longer can the public access.
  11. Strange that FASS and AirDog both put pre-filters on and causes no strain on the pump. Is the might mechanical pump that weak because it nearly double the distance from the fuel tank now at the very front bumper? Hmmm... Pumps are not design to suck or pull fuel long distance they are designed to PUSH fuel. This is where the weakness is being the pump must be located at the crank and adding huge distance from the fuel tank and forcing the pump to pull fuel longer distances and add a prefilter would impact the pump performance. Yeah this is basic pumps 101. The suction side of the pump should be as short as possible.
  12. 2.5 hours or 125 miles to get to Walmart. https://mopar1973man.com/contact/ My place is on the right. Huge maple tree in the back yard and the two houses make a L shape.
  13. I've got to travel 2.5 hours to reach a interstate and to be able to travel 70 and 80 MPH. The rest of the highways I travel are 45, 55 and 65 MPH typically.
  14. Yeah I ran about the same coming home. I was hot footing it. Cruise set for 67 to 68 MPH. If someone slowed down I would stomp the loud pedal and go on around. On my way down I was set at 65 MPH and more conservative and not passing as much.
  15. This should help out. I've got it down to a science I can typically change them out now in about 1.5 hours. Even though the labor book calls for 4 hours.
  16. NV4500 5 speed. That was rebuilt 4 years ago. I've already 120k miles on that transmission already. Running 50 SAE Transmission fluid GL-4 Synthetic. Reason why it was rebuilt was I broke the main shaft in half. What I'm watching is temperatures in all places on the truck and rise in temperature means something is no longer running efficiently. If I drive too aggressive transmission temperature will rise. Very soon I'll have temp sensor in the rear diff cover. Then have a switch on the transmission temp gauge and be able to check the transmission and the rear diff temperature. Also as you make modification and if the mod now make the temperature rise you know your losing energy to heat now. If the modification reduces temperatures on the transmission and driveline then you going in the right direction making it more efficient.
  17. After 125 miles from New Meadows, ID to Ontario, OR. Here is my trans temp. Yeah it does help to make it run cooler. Last stretch before entering city limits.
  18. Just for info value. Just drove 100 miles and transmission temp floated 130F the whole way. EGTs floating 500 to 550F on the flats. Just had a phone call last night where a guy changed out 37 inch tires and lost control of the EGTs over 1100F for most highway travel. Just met another gent that is fighting get more from his Quadzilla but running 25 inch tires and has to down shift quite a bit to control EGTs. Tires do make big impact. Just my own switching from 31 inch to 30 inch reduced EGTs and transmission temperature.
  19. More power steering fluid. Flush till the return hose runs clear and clean.
  20. Smarty just isn't a very controllable tuner. It got its short comings. Fuelling map or the timing map doesn't fit every single circumstance. No matter how much you play with it you never get what you looking for with knowing what the timing map and fuel map look like.
  21. Should consider yearly being brake fluid is hydroscopic.
  22. Be careful. You might possibly alter the final gear and create issues. Very common problem people want the truck to look cool. Put bigger wheels and tires on foul the final ratio up and end up with high EGT's, lower MPG's, and front axle issues. I just got off the phone with another gent just put 37 inch tires on and complaining off super high EGT's and extremely low MPG's and asking how to fix it. I hate to say it but change the gearing in the axle to 4.10 before changing to larger tires! Optimal final ratio should be 3.55 to 3.73 to the ground. Do the transmission BEFORE the tires. You end up killing the transmission with the tires (if oversized). Bigger tires typically trap torque in the transmission creating more heat and failures.
  23. The only time my AirDog got loud is when the motor bearing gave up. Now running 4G AirDog pump and motor so far so good!
  24. Ive seen too many people try to build the dream truck in one pass. Go out and by 200 HP injectors, twin turbos, 5 inch exhaust, Quadzilla or p-pump. Then wonder why the truck sucks, too smoky, always broke down. Like myself I've slowly learned what is required for each step as time passed from 2002 on. Back in the day a good day driver was RV275 injectors and a tuner. Now you can actually start out at +75 HP injectors and Quadzilla. Too many make the lofty goals of 500 HP and up and have no idea what they are getting into. I say build slow and in stags and learn about the truck and what you need before jumping too far and over doing.
  25. Smarty S-03 is very limited tuner. No adjustable timing or fuel maps for larger injectors. It was design around a stock injectors. Quadzilla has full fuel table control and timing control to fit your fuel system. Like Smarty S-03 limits to 19° BTDC for timings for most settings. Like Quadzilla and 7 x 0.010 @ 320 Bar injectors I run 24° BTDC timing which cannot be done on Smarty S-03.
