  1. Do not draw from the sender bad idea being the fuel is much hotter from the return hot fuel from the rear of the head which can be 190°F. Best to have a draw straw in the main fuel tank outside the sender basket. This will provide much cooler fuel. Like my hottest in the summer is 120°F fuel temps on a 100°F outside temperature day. The cooler you can keep your fuel temperature you'll find out you don't have to change filters very often. Like my average filter change is 60,000 to 80,000 because I'm not creating asphaltenes which occurs somewhere between 140°F to 150°F fuel temperature which will require filter changes every 15,000 miles because the asphaltene will plug up the filters with a black material from over heating the fuel.
  2. Thanks @PilotHouse2500 for understanding. My plan is I've got chemo in a week. I'm going to pack my laptop and stuff and be working on getting work done on the website. Also start my rebuild of the store get the framework done and get vendors and products organized. I just leave out the payment processor. Then everyone can drool when I throw the processor in. Even when I go to chemo I'll be the spice of life I'll continue my makeup and look because I'm not going to just lay down and die. Nope. Yeah I know what I'm in for being I dealt with my mom's dialysis and how everyone is just quiet. Nope. I'm going to make time fly for 6 hours I've got to be there. Like today I got some good sleep and slept in till 8:30am. I'm learning how to live with my cyborg body. So today I'm being cool and letting my roommate (Jake) sleep in a bit on his day off. Then we are going to McCall to attempt to get some basic food needs covered till we go to Lewiston. Mark did me the favor on Minnie get tires on the minivan. So things are working out. I'll admit that it very hard mentally to shut down my normal life and do nothing for at least a month and continue. Like today I'm going enjoy doing my make up for the black and purple hair because I've got a few women that love the look. I'm learning the purple is more of a women favorite where my black and blue is more of a guy favorite. No I don't mean this in in any g a y means. What I mean is if im interfacing with women more the purple works the best. If im interfacing with guys more the black and blue works best. It rather interresting learning the secrets of social and dressing up and how it impact how people react to me. I'm hoping for another "Your F--king Goregous" moment which happen about a week ago.
  3. Just a heads up to reply back to @JAG1 The only reason I promote the painted metal versus grease cover bare metal. Being in Idaho we use a lot of salt on the highways and exposed metals disappeared rather quickly. This is because so many people scrub off a huge area of exposed metal and now the salt water will rinse grease and oil off rather well and shortly after 2 to 3 years that ground isn't hooked up at all because the entire area is stripped of paint has now rusted away, just gone. Happens more than you realize.
  4. Well, I made it through a minor surgery changing out my plumbing going to my kidneys. Here is a shocker I did this short 20-minute surgery with no anesthesia or painkillers of any kind. The doctor wanted to make sure I could drive home. My surgeon was super cool by allowing me to watch the process on my own monitor. The surgeon slid the key into my left tube and unlocked it and then swapped it out. I didn't even feel it at all. Then he told me he was testing with dye and sure enough I saw it flow but I had to tell the surgeon to ease up my bladder shrunk up and didn't hold much anymore. Same on the other side and then the only drug I was given was a small shot of local to all the surgeons to tie my tubes in place to my skin in my back. After that, I was wheeled into my little cove, got dressed, and left. I was driving home. For my next appointment, I'm heading back to Boise ID for a post-op meeting with my doctor. Then afterward I've got my hotel arranged for me over in Oregon so I can partake of my painkiller before my first chemo visit. I've got to embrace the suck here... I know that chemo is going to make me sick and I'm possibly going to lose my hair from the chemo. Thank Gwad I've been working on my artistry and my wigs and I'm still improving...
  5. @dieselautopower I'm pretty sure he's still got his rental Smarty for doing high idle enable.
  6. Thank you @jlwelding... That the thing Good Lord is bring my true friends forward in my time of need and accept me for who I am. Fact is currently the only aid I can provide to anyone right now is the knowledge in my mind. Just because of my make up work is just something fun for me to work at. Nothing I'm doing is permanent like tattoos or piercing that are more permanent. With what I'm doing is a wig which I can pull off and brush out. Then the make up washes of fairly easy. Yes appreciate your offer to talk to me when ever that is awesome. See I believe in the Good Lord and he's given me all the blessing I can get. Two awesome doctors and just my two social case workers gave been making sure all my needs are taken care of. I've been blessed by all these people that are taking action on my be half. When I pray at all I'm Thanking the Good Lord for providing me all the people that are dealing with my medical issues. I don't need to pray for pain relieve because this is my pain to bear. It's my challenge to over come. So I'm not asking for the Goid Lord to fix me but thank him for bring the people into my life that are making a difference.
  7. Now you understand why I have times where now I enjoy my happiness in doing my makeup work and wearing my wigs being I know all you need me to help you through your troubles on your trucks but I need to make it through my troubling times alone with my cancer. This is why I have depression at times and struggle to just keep going Because I'm there for you all but no one is there for me. The way I put a smile on my face and others around me is now with my makeup artistry, wigs and my Goth dress mode and my way of enjoying a small slice of time where I get to forget that I'm fighting cancer but able to enjoy even a small bit of time of happiness. Looking forward to driving 3 hours south for surgery to replace all the plumbing on my body and then start my chemo shortly afterwards where I'm going to enjoy the thought of nausea and loss of hair. Right now I'm waiting for the house to warm up and allow me to get a shower and I will do my makeup today being it gives me happiness and people around me enjoy my artistry. Yes, the fact I struggle to get sleep every night. I struggle with bags that leak on my bed. Yes, I struggle with my right bag pulling apart and leaking urine down my leg. I can't do much of anything without my action causing me to bleed in my bladder. I'm confined by my health issues (bladder cancer) and so be it I'll enjoy making myself happy and others around me with my makeup artistry Emo Goth mode.
  8. I need everyone to watch this it's exactly what I'm dealing with. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPR36UeKn/
  9. I've been pulling 5 and 6 speeds in my shop with the truck on level ground and only using a floor jack. I've got tricks on how to tie a transmission to a floor jack using one ratchet strap. Then learn other tricks for 3rd Gens and up on getting one stabbed easier than normal. Which happened to be the last clutch job I'll ever do. Was on a G56 transmission 2008 Ram 3500 and did a dual disc clutch on the floor. Give me a call sometime I'll have to explain how to wrap the ratchet strap and where to hook on the floor jack.
  10. No problem here to help any way I can.
  11. Here you go. https://mopar1973man.com/garage/ Look under browse in the menu then you'll see Garage.
  12. Do not weld. Do it right get the proper tools and torque it to the proper torque amount. No hammer and chisel tightening. I know @Doubletrouble just rebuilt his transmission himself and not hard to do either.
  13. Best to use the garage and add all you mods there. Take a peek at my signature your redirected to my garage page and can see my mods.
  14. Yeah even my home brew grill inserts and held in by a single bolt in each but doesn't block all cold air completely. Still in all I can still reach 70°F IAT on a zero degree day. I'm finding that the whole cold air intakes actually degrades MPG and daily driver efficiency being we are not running WOT all the time so cold air impacts the ability to convert liquid diesel to vapor to ignition takes much longer. If your running stock tuning then the ECMstack on additional 4 degrees advancement when IAT drops to 79°F.
  15. Just hop in start a topic and we will get busy helping you to your goals. Hence the tag line "Achieve Your Destination"
  16. Exactly... https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPR3YQNyh/
  17. That light comes on after 295*F of transmission oil temp by then the transmission is junk. You could order a second sensor and then use a toggle switch to switch between engine oil and transmission oil temperatures. You don't need a pillar mount. I'm using a suction cup cell phone mount on my windshield and that way when I leave the truck I'm taking my phone with me. So if I drop my power level to level 1 which is barely set for 10% of fuel it will drive only about 20 MPH at WOT. As I remove my phone no one is able to gain control of the truck without knowledge of the tuner and setup no one can steal my truck. I've got a few other tricks too... As for tuning, it's very important to have a final ratio after the tires are set for a 3.55 to 3.73 ratio. The optimal is 3.73 for the final ratio. Then the pop pressure of the injectors WILL impact the timing and understand as injectors wear you have to retard your timing being the injectors advance timing when they wear. Warmer air is more efficient than cold air. The optimal is 80*F to 140*F IAT temperatures. Colder than 80*F you lose ignition value. My intercooler is covered over so it will retain heat more so for the ignition value. Warmer coolant is more efficient than colder. Thermodynamics basically states that cold and hot are attracted to each other. The closer the temperature of the fire and the coolant are the better the efficiency. I'm currently running a 6.7L Cummins 200*F thermostat runs way better in the cold.
  18. Typically a stock 310 bar injector lands like 8 to 10% engine load at idle. For my 320 bar injectors land about 13 to 14% engine load at idle. When engine load at idle is less than 2% it is best to replace your injectors. Once the injectors wear enough the engine load drops to 0% and then the idle RPM starts to rise continually till the injectors fails completely. Idle speed is programmed for 800 RPM +/- 5 RPMs typically. The Engine oil is easy just take the supplied transmission temp sensor in the Quadzilla and screw it into the optional pressure port on the oil filter housing. No telflon tape! The sensor requires a clean ground contact. That will give the engine oil temperature in the transmission temp gauge. Now the EGT probe is supplied in the Quadzilla programmer. You'll need to drill a hole in the manifold and tap a 1/8 NPT hole just enough to place the tip of the EGT probe in the middle of the rear port. I'm running ISSPro EV2 gauges beside the Quadzilla display. I will admit the stock MAP sensors are not accurate at all. EGTs tend to be about 50-100*F high compared to the ISSPro Pyrometer. I've seen on my HX35/40 boost pressures of 53 PSI but Quadzilla logged 69 PSI. So above about 25 PSI, it loses accuracy. This isn't a Quadzilla problem per se it's the MAP sensor just not designed for huge boost numbers. The EGT's I think possibly a math issue? Seem like it follows an offset amount but does vary. Or maybe ISSPro is off? Which I'm not sure. Rusty metal is worse than painted metal. More you keep exposing metal the quicker your ground will rot away. So I would pull the lead off shoot the metal with paint let it cure then run your ground and screw back in that way all the metal is treated and the screw makes the ground connection like designed.
  19. Photo is black. I would love to see what is going on.
  20. Welcome to the family. If your looking for longevity and efficiency I'm the master you would want to talk to being I managed to cross the entire state of Washington on a 1/4 tank of fuel. Welcome to the family.
  21. Back to the praying thing. Just consider what I built here. This website has been giving anyone that can read, the information to fix their truck. I've been giving aid to my fellow members in textual aid and even support by phone. There have been nights where members wake me up at 2am because his throttle linkage came apart and it's -50°F out this guy was in AK. Yeah this is what I mean about doing more than Pray For You. I get out of my comfort zone and aid this gentleman to fixing his truck in the middle of a winter storm. I stayed with him till he made it home safely. Most would of ignored the phone and silenced it. No. I get out of my comfort zone for many years of Fire Dept service dropping my personal life and running for days chasing fire protecting people. Many of nasty night out helping g people involved in vehicle accidents again I'm leaving my comfort zone and aiding my fellow community. Then ive even served with Idaho county search and rescue. Been on few runs here on the south side of Idaho County, again I left my comfort zone e to aid other lost in the woods. This is why the phase I'll Pray for you pisses me off because because these people say the phrase don't move a muscle never leave there comfort zone. I will say I'm a man of action and always been there for people even late night injector swaps and rescues along the highway.
  22. Disclaimer: Some people might get their feelings hurt. Just turn and walk away is the best suggestion. I'm in a "pissed off" mood so be aware I'm not going to be nice in this post. Now everyone here knows I'm currently trying to deal with my bladder cancer. I'm not allowed to work on vehicles at all because of my bags and tubing. Then I'm not allowed to make any profit on the website being I'm being watched by the Fed's and Idaho State Government. Don't send donations this could push my income over the limit and cause me to lose all my benefits. That being said I'm limited on what I can do here. The store has to remain offline till after all my surgeries and medical treatment. As for tune work that I'll be able to do a little here and there but I have to be careful not to over do my income again I'll lose my benefits for my medical. Now for those that say "I'll pray for you" That absolutely pisses me off to no end. This is a way for people to say they care but don't want to be involved. Yeah, you say the phrase but you are not here to help me deal with the bag that decided to leak all down my leg in the night. Start doing laundry at 2am and attempt to make my bed and go back to sleep. You are not there when I've got to get up every 3 hours to deal with draining my bags. You are comfortably asleep in your bed and "praying for me" as I'm dealing with wet bedding that smells of urine. So if you want to make a difference in my life become an advocate and be there for a person. This means getting up out of your comfort zone and helping a person like me who can't bend over to pick up something off the floor. Physically being there for a person. Now there are a few that have voiced their aid to me like @Doubletrouble he told me anytime I need someone to talk to call him. That is being there for me in times of need. This means way more to me than a person saying "I'll pray for you" because that person will disappear and never be there for you nor do they want to be bothered by my troubles. To me, it is upsetting to hear the phrase "I'll pray for you..." You are just being lazy and don't want to be bothered with my troubles. Again become an advocate for a person and be there for them! Prayers are not paying for my fuel to travel to my doctors, not paying for my medication, not dealing with my stress or depression, etc. But the phrase allows you to remain at home comfortably and do nothing. Now as for my makeup work and wigs. If you don't like it do me a favor and cancel your subscription now and leave silently. I don't need your kind around here. As for future postings, I will post photos of my works, and if you don't like it just leave. Before you start running your mouth I'll be very clear I'm not g a y or trans. It's called "Emotional Goth" what I'm doing is go look it up and educate yourself before running your mouth. Goth culture is very much so alive and there are a lot of people still dressing in Goth styles. The difference between Goth and Emo Goth is Goth is strictly black everything including makeup. Emotional Goth is with color and in the clothing and makeup. My makeup work is the only fun I get to have now. When I go to my medical appointments yes I'm wearing my wig and doing makeup as well. My profile picture on my records is a picture of me with my black and blue hair and basic black makeup. All my doctors and nurses love the look. Matter of fact my last trip to Fruitland ID my case worker was asking me about what products I was using because she loved the look and couldn't understand why my eyeliner was still looking good. Even my doctor gave me props for my appearance. Just today I decided to do my black and purple hair with full-color makeup. I had to run to McCall to get my medications, It was an uplifting experience for me. I've had a well-to-do millionaire ask me to join her group for the winter carnival in McCall ID. She thought I was gorgeous dressed up the way I was this morning. I gave her my phone number and told her to call me and hopefully, I'm not feeling nasty from my chemo. Then I stop by Dollar Store in New Meadows. The crew in that store loves the look and she wants to stay in touch with me for my chemo. Well during my visit there another customer who lives in McCall asked me to join in the winter carnival contact the chamber of commerce and get signed up for one of the floats. Just for how I looked today. So being I can't really do diesel work at all. My makeup artistry is getting better and better. I'm making my happiness by making others smile and that enjoy my artistry. It is truly amazing how many women take notice of me and either give me a huge compliment or start asking about the storyline. Because of the government being involved in my life, I can't be productive here on the website too much nor do any wrench work. Yes they are watching all my bank accounts very closely. I'm to the point any happiness I can create for myself in the confined time I'm stuck at home I'm going to do anything I have to do to keep depression at bay. Again if you can't handle the idea of me doing makeup in Emo Goth (Emotional Goth) then do me a favor and unsubscribe from the site now and just leave. I'll say it very clearly I'm not g a y and not trans. I'm still a male/guy. Just try to fill my day with my smiles and happiness even in the back of my head I'm dealing with cancer and chemo treatments that will make me sick and I could likely lose my hair from the chemo.
  23. Being that my previous thread is causing a stir in the crowd because of my photos and my cancer and dealing with depression. I'll no longer be posting till I'm done with my cancer and medical issues. Sad that a member came forward to tell other member are not happy with what I posting. So I'll catch you all in 6 to 9 month possibly when it all over. Not fair to me to be responsible for help everyone else then when I need help or I wish to share what I doing in my life I'm suppose to keep a certain image. Sorry I can't right now so I'll see you all when it over in 6 to 9 months. I will not be doing any tune work. No support. Nothing till I'm done with my medical.
  24. Let's just say all the error codes will cause a limp mode. Output speed sensor, transmission temp sensor high, etc. Fix the codes and limp mode will go away. Fuel level doesn't affect anything to cause limp mode... Unless the ground for the trans is dependent on the fuel sender ground because the trans ground is junk then that would be why the level affects the limp mode. Master ground for that should be passenger side battery terminal and driver side kick panel. Which that is why the trans temp code for high volts because the ground is missing back to the PCM.
  25. It might help a bunch just buying the Quadzilla because then you can see all the live data from the Cummins CANBus connector and verify all data is correct by doing your own external measurements of each thing too. You can verify ECT, IAT, APPS, MAP, etc. Then with live data of engine load and RPM, you can verify injectors in life span. EGT's, Engine Oil Temperature, and ECT will tell you about engine health. Anything that creates heat is a loss of power. You can do so much more for the truck once you actually watching live data and looking for reasons for why the engine is creating large amounts of heat and wasting fuel to this created heat.
