Photo is black. I would love to see what is going on.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bad idea. Sumps are going to be very expensive when you have to replace the entire fuel tank when it starts to leak. Draw Straw is the best option. Not to mention sumps and bottom draw are illegal in all 50 states because of fire danger and safety issues. They are fine for track purposes not for street. The sender loses accuracy over time. The only way to gain it back is to replace the sender on the sender basket with a factory replacement. You can check the ohms of the wires from the sender to the PCM connector. You can jump the pins of the wiring and check for a zero ohm connection to be sure the wiring isn't adding ohms where it shouldn't. Possibly a corroded pin at the fender on the driver's side or at the fuel sender. Yes if the pin in the sender is damaged you can replace the entire sender basket which @dieselautopower sells as well. Well, you talked to the wrong person I know I've had several members go to @Auto Computer Specialist and had custom software written for both ECM and PCM to do transmission swaps and I had done one in my yard just 2 years ago and Auto Computer Specialist handled the reprogramming for me.

So let's organize a time that I start and I'll get the Zoom started. I'm willing to do truck work just to have something to do. Seriously when your told just get up and exist every day without anything to do starts to eat at your mind. We have a whole website here with a lot of functions and abilities and we can still get information out to people the best I can. Right now I have to be careful being I'm trying to get assistance to get through my cancer so I'm not permitted to make too much income because then I lose the benefits I'm trying to sign up for. https://mopar1973man.com/forum/218-zoom-meetings/ Now if you guys and gals post up when you wish to do Zoom meetings I'll get set up when I'm here at home. I'll admit right now the only time where I'll not be able to do much is on Jan. 30th for the entire day being I've got a doctor's appointment all the way in Fruitland ID. Which is 3 to 3.5 hours with weather for a one-way trip. I check the website all the time being I've got nothing else better to do these days but get up and deal with my port pain in my back. The best way to describe my port pain is like taking a piece of bailing wire and heat that up red hot and stick one in each side of my back. I fight to get a comfortable position just sitting up or lying down. Yesterday I actually had a pretty good day. Other than dealing with the port pain in my back. I got dressed up in my Emo Goth mode (My blue and black hair, basic black Eye shadow, and black lip stain) and went to Riggins, Idaho and dropped Jake off for work at Riggins One Stop and decided to bring a friend out to the house being I could get Mark to drop Einar off at his place in town and pick up Jake after work. Well, I was dressed up in my Emo Goth mode and went into the local restaurant (River Rock Cafe) and ordered a pizza. The owner didn't realize it was me till I opened my mouth and ordered. She was highly impressed because I was very much altered in appearance she loved the new me. I paid for my pizza which I laid 30 dollars down and that was tip and everything. I stood outside while Einar and I's food was being made. I had another local walk up to me and compliment me on my full appearance and both were trying to figure out who I was. I told them my actual name, my business name, etc. No dice they just couldn't put it together being I've so majority altered my appearance. Blue and black hair, basic black eyeshadow, and black lip stain. About 30 minutes went by and I finally went in to check on our orders. Einar's burger is ready and my pizza was just getting cut up and boxed. The owner comes out and hands me back my 30 dollars because the pizza wasn't quite right. Then I told the owner that when I'm dressed up Emo Goth I typically get huge discounts or things for free. Her jaw dropped as she realized I just got a FREE pizza for my dinner tonight. She told me to keep doing it. It does work and she that my appearance was stellar. We came back to my place and smoked then got our munchie on and watched TV. Simple pleasure but a well-needed day of smiles and companionship with a physical person and not a phone call. What I'm saying is don't leave me behind. I'm still a human being and enjoy interacting with all of you and when people just quit posting and like some told me they don't know what to say... Just be a friend and hang out with me. I know you might not want to talk about my cancer but that is what is screwing my life up so I try to just have fun one way or another. It's true laughter is the best medicine. Depression can be the devil's workshop and I don't like playing there at all.

Sadly the store will remain down for now being if I make too much income will prevent me from getting assistance for my cancer. APPS sensor look up Timbos APPS and he is still selling the sensors. As long as you know for fact the alternator is working correctly and test out good for low AC noise then you should be good. Another thing don't scrub all the paint off steel to expose raw metal for grounds this will enhance ground failure being that exposed metal will oxidize faster being exposed make sure to paint all exposed metal before mounting the ring terminal just like factory did.

Use military style terminals then used copper crimp ring terminals. That way when the lead terminal get damaged you can just unbolt the rings and change a terminal fast and easy. Do NOT get those part store terminals where you expose copper and clamp to the terminal. Those will fail quicker being the copper strain of the cable will oxidize faster and being exposed to the acid vapors it will create a weak connection faster. Either solder on the copper ring terminal or get the proper crimp tool for crimping on the ring terminals typically the tool is a small hydraulic press.

Have your alternator bench tested and see what your getting for full load ac ripple. After the W-T ground mod typically knock it below 0.015 AC Volts. Might have your batteries tested might have a weak cell or internal short that is pulling too much current causing higher AC ripple.

@JAG1 another good example. ive been praying for anyone just spend time with me. This morning I got a call from a client as long as I fix his problem he is happy and bailed out. Again I donated my knowledge and time freely to a person but no person will do the same for me.They get me to be advocate for their problems no matter how many hours it's takes. I'm still asking for someone to push past I'll pray for you and do the very same thing I've done for 20 years for everyone else. But I hear the same easy phrase... Ill pray for and they are gone.

Seriously just makes me wanna give up completely. Every time someone brings up prayer because no matter how much I ever prayed it not fixing the bag that is pulling apart and leaking down my leg this morning. The fact I've had to strip my bed because it smells like piss again. Prayer is not doing my laundry for me in the middle of the night. Prayer is not showering me to get the smell of piss off my body. Prayer is not changing my clothes for me in the night. I'm completely alone 90% of the time here at home. No one to talk to and no one here to settle my anxieties and depression. Prayer is not fixing that either no matter what I pray for I'm still here alone. Again like I said when you @JAG1 can explain why both cancer times are right at Christmas Time I'll listen but you have not answered that yet. Even though I prayed before both surgeries this time I'm a trainwreck and not fixing anything. Is praying dealing with the funding required to even get to my next appt.? Nope. Prayer is not dealing with the mental stress I'm dealing with. Prayer is not dealing with the 7 hours of driving I've got to do alone to Boise every time. Too many people say the phrase "I'll pray for you" then turn and walk away... Have they done anything? No! Did it do anything for me? No! I've heard this phrase thousands of times but praying doesn't deal with any of my problems. Their prayers are not bringing me someone who is going to be an advocate for me and aid me through the tough times I'm dealing with all this. Are they here to help me to clean my house? Nope. Are they here to settle my anxiety? Nope. I'm still here alone. Do I still get up with the pain of the ports in my back? Yup. I've to the point where every time I here I'll pray for you that it is the public's way of disconnecting from me and walking away. Because NO ONE IS HERE TO HELP. I'm still alone and dealing with every issue ALONE!!! No one is willing to just step up and be that advocate for me... See when I was a whole person and Everyone had truck problems everyone wanted to talk to me about truck problems and solve them for THEM. Now I'm broken everyone bails out as the phrase is said "I'll pray for you and leaves and gone!" How is that fair? Yeah, I see a totally different problem that people hide behind the phrase "I'll pray for you" because they don't want to be bothered by my issues. Then they go back to their normal lives. Tell me I wrong?... Show me someone willing to be that advocate.... I started this December 17, 2023 since then I've been fully alone most of the time.

Like this morning I got up and had coffee then hopped in the shower. Got dressed and headed to town just get something to eat for breakfast and see another human in the wild maybe just talk to a human face. Which I told one of the owners of the restraunt about what I'm dealing with and she gave me huge hug. (OMG you have no idea how good that felt). Had breakfast and stop by another friend that work at Riggins One Stop. We chatted for awhile and I came back home. Jake left for work and here I am siting alone most of the day.

I realize this.... I know this is correct. BUT... Without anything to do but stare at a wall for the last month. I'm ready to give up at times because there is no reason to get out of bed. Right now I don't have the funds to even go to my next medical appt because my last stay in Boise for 2 days wiped me out. Right now my health is based on my income till feds start kicking in. I'm still waiting on paperwork so I can get funds to even continue. THEN... Being left alone for days with zero physical contact with people. I feel like in prison in solitary confinement. Little door opens once in awhile I might get something. Mentally it very tiring. On top of having to wake up every 3 hrs to deal with my bags. Quality of sleep is gone I might get 4 to 6 hours a night maybe. Which is a huge factor in mental health too. THIS... Is why I'm looking towards zoom meeting being it allows me to interact with another human and take my mind of my stress and possibly give me a smile and lift my spirits to keep me going. Everyone knows what is going on but everyone just leaves me alone now. NO phone calls. NO visiting. I'm even willing to talk trucks for free just so I have interaction with other to possibly save my mental state.

You don't realize how hard of a battle it is for me to just hang on here. Lack of ideas and dealing with my depression. Part of me just wants to give up and dump the website because of lack of response. Part of me doesn't wanna give up. This is why I'm trying to give myself some purpose again. Right now I have zero purpose no reason to post no reason to even check on the site. Can't do much because of limitation of income...

Anyone else?

No. That I'm hoping for a response of my idea in my previous post but everyone is silent. No comments, no likes, nothing...

??? Crickets ???

I could school you up in what I know for the 24V programming I do. Timing is a neat animal to work with. Quick tidbit just remember more you retard easier to build boost. More you advance the more you burn the fuel in the cylinder but you have to be careful. I monitor my oil temp being that if your over advanced you will gain heat in the oil because you flood the cylinder jacket with heat with fire burning on the cylinder walls. Optimally you should be about -30°F cooler than coolant temperature. This will provide the best bang for the buck for daily drivers.

Monday is about over for me as I watch the sunset here and the darkness creeps into the canyon. I've been dealing with phone calls with different agencies trying to get things rolling in the right direction. As for my head cold, I'm about done with it and my cough isn't much any longer but my energy is coming back and my mental clarity is there. I'm up hanging out in my living room and the only thing I'm fighting with is the sneezes. My sinuses are draining. I'm starting to think maybe I should do something like a Zoom meet hang out with me so people can see how I'm doing and also I can connect to other humans which I rarely see anyone now and spend most of my time alone. Not worth it to hop in the truck to go into to town to find a human to talk to. I've got a wonderful resource right here, all the members of the website can chat about what I'm up to and even help out with your issues. I will admit when you go from having daily contact with people to nothing at all for several days it is pretty rough and depressing to deal with. So when life gives an entire truckload of lemon we better find a huge bag of sugar and gallons of spring water. Let me make use of my time that I'm just hanging out around the house and could get a general Zoom meeting together even for a mere 40 minutes for now if the traffic picks up I will just have to buy the premium package for Zoom and then it unlimited meeting times. It would help me to get my mind off myself directly and be even able to chat with you all and feel like I've got purpose again. Surprising what an OK night of sleep will do for a person who is fighting a head cold and cancer. I managed to get a shower today, got dressed, and managed to do more chores today without wearing out too soon. What do you all say? Wanna do this with me? Right now my entire life now is just learning how to deal with this new life of my limitations. Just realize everything I've done in my life I've been guided by a higher power above. The first business I created was a car stereo and electronics which I had the shop name of "Sights and Sounds" and lasted a short time about 3 years. I shifted to "Cloud 10 Computers" where I built custom Windows PCs for many years I gave up on Cloud 10 Computers in 2008 due to the market crash. I flipped over and started doing Cummins diesel work from that point. Now with my current health issues, I need to rethink things. Well, why not make use of my knowledge of Cummins diesel and internet technology to do face time? Oh... Just know that I will never quit on the website. This my baby I'm not willing to let go of it...

Yes. Just like a gasoline engine if you advance the timing it will idle higher so if you retard the timing the the idle will be too low. When timing changes you have to reset idle speed which should be close to 800 RPM.

Little update. I'm still here and alive. I did go see my doctor for my post op meeting. Now my chemo might be first or the bladder might be first based on how deep into my bladder muscle the cancer. Either way it's coming out. The nice part my doctor is going to set up my chemo treatments in McCall. Sadly I got home fighting a head cold. Oh fun. First night at home I had many malfunctions with my bags that I had to keep stripping blankets off that got wet. Then changing clothes to back to bed. Bad night and being sick really was rough. Last night I tried a new idea and it worked out great. I can now sleep on my side once again. YEA! What ever side is down remove that bag from my leg and lay the bag on my bed. I've got to leave a lamp on so I remember the bag is there so I don't pull the tubing. I got some good sleep but 1am to 3am struggle with ports being painful. Just even the smallest tension is like burning pain. Nasty. Today I'm bit stronger... but long way from normal yet.

Only if I drive all the way to Boise. No supplies up here. Even then I'm just about broke waiting for medicaid to get fired up.
