  1. Really? So, what's your theory in this?
  2. Your welcome. I plan on doing that here soon too. I'm going to super different and not route like factory but get into the hollow of the fender and then tucked up on the cowl properly. I hate the factory route where it's in the middle of everything.
  3. Not the turbo... The engine load and fuel usage that creates the EGT's heat because of excessive drag. More drag from the wheels and gearing means more fuel used to make it move. More fuel means more EGT's. Reduce the drag and EGT's fall pretty simple. As the OP posted... I'm down lower at 23% to 25% and 82 MPH which I've reduced the drag. Both 2nd Gen, but tires are much taller on OP tire vs. mine where the gearing now 3.39 to the ground for him vs 3.69 to the ground for me. EGT are a mostly drag in his case then the engine load is high side for holding cruise timing which will make it hotter, this makes the timing retarded and EGT's higher. He's running the same turbo technically as I am and the same injectors. This leaves all that out. What is different? Is final gearing and tire size. Now I'm comparing Apples to Apples. Him: 2nd Gen Me: 2nd Gen Him: 150 HP injectors Me: 150 HP injectors Him: Hx40 turbo Me: Hybrid HX35/40 turbo Him: Quadzilla Me: Quadzilla Him: 275 70 R18 3.39:1 final ratio Me: 245/75 R16 3.69:1 final ratio
  4. Secret... I've not done this yet either but just get Air Brake Line it much stronger and holds up longer without cracking. Just use small pieces of rubber vacuum hose to join the ends.
  5. Won't be long I'll be leaving the 300k family for 400k.
  6. Might be true but not the same engine, not the same HP/TQ or not the same gears so it doesn't work on a 2nd Gen at all. Apples to oranges don't work.
  7. Same with AirDog design also... Prefiler before the pump and then the main filter after the pump.
  8. If I had tire capacity weight at pressure amounts I could use my truck weights to finish out the math.
  9. Vacuum discharge dumps right into the crankcase. The vacuum pump turns into an air compressor when there is a vacuum leak.
  10. As for the high idle switch jump over to the support ticket. Which I'm going to bet the P0113 is from. https://mopar1973man.com/support/
  11. No. It's safe I've already talked to Michael Pliska at ISSPro. A toggle switch is fine to use. Yes way too high. Transmission and differential temperatures can run pretty high. Like my gauge is 100 to 280 transmission temp gauge.
  12. It can vary from day to day. Some of that is moisture your seeing. As long as you not using oil or blow oil out of the truck your fine. If your concerned pull the injectors and do a compression test. Like one member found out that a single cracked piston can pass a blow by test but would fail a compression test. So as long as your truck doesn't look like this I think you are safe.
  13. Like I'm running a HX35/40 Hybrid. Its a 60/60/12 in measurements. I hit 45 to 47 PSI of boost on WOT. Regardless, the actual EGT's while cruising 65 MPH is like 550°F and barely 2 PSI of boost. The main factor in MPG numbers is working your timing higher, then watching the engine load sink. The biggest problem you won't lose is the frontal area with the lift kit and the standing height, the only way to reduce that drag is to drive much slower. All speeds above 55 MPH are exponential for wind drag. Roughly speaking for every 10 MPH above the wind drag doubles exponentially. Hint I know my 55 MPH speeds will net me close to 24 to 26 MPG. Too tough to do with my time schedules.
  14. High boost typically mean lower EGTs. The only way EGTs rise is engine load rises, timing is retarded, or drag is increased. Boost should be left set at 30 to 35 PSI.
  15. I cleared over 250k miles on my first AirDog 150. Second replacement 3G pump lasted barely 15k miles. Third, now got a 4G pump and the AirDog is rock solid again. I would consider a mechanical pump only if the pump can with a prefilter and 3um main filter like an AirDog. Then keep an electric priming pump. So many times I have seen old mechanical 1st Gens and 2nd Gen with broken primer. Nearly insane to get started again without the primer pump.
  16. Seriously doubt the boost is the problem most people are looking for more boost to keeping the EGT's down. The only measurement he doesn't have is the engine load before and after. Engine load equals EGT's.
  17. No, It will gain you MPG for sure. Like me, I'm twisting 2,500 RPM at 82 MPH but still kicking out 19.58 MPG. My last 3 years of fuel logs. You can see my Economy tune is also a big gain. 3.69:1 final ratio to the pavement.
  18. Not really. The top two gears are the same. Is just there is an extra gear in the bottom. Just consider the thought my current setup (NV4500 and 245's) I'm in 4th gear at 25 MPH. NV4500 - 5th gear - 0.75 NV6500 - 6th gear - 0.73 NV4500 - 4th gear - Direct NV5600 - 5th gear - Direct
  19. Little birdie told me Assassin is China Made now.
  20. Excessive wind drag and excessive low final ratio which I calculate 3.39:1 to the ground. You need to change your gears to 4.10 at least to fix this problem. Wind drag will ever go away with the lift. Bigger exhaust isn't going to fix the problem. 4" is plenty big enough which it will take care of 600 HP easy.
