Absolutely. There is always somewhere better to stop. You might take on some extra damage pushing through but it well worth it in the end!

My definition of smoke is anything that can be seen in your mirror as you accelerate. If you can see it so can law enforcement. The question is how dense does the smoke have to be per state to get you in trouble? Idaho, if you can see it it just gives the police a reason to pull you over because then they look at an exhibit of speed or speeding ticket. Been there done that... Didn't get the ticket but was given a harsh warning.

@LiveOak would be a good one to talk to about tractors.

Easier yet. Go get the engine nice on hot for the evening come back home. Now drop the drain plug and the oil filter. Go to bed. Get up in the morning. Install a fresh oil filter and the drain plug and load with 11 quarts. The 12 hours of drip time really does make a difference in getting all the oil out. Looks nearly factory fresh clean like the day the truck was manufactured.

Old tymer engine flush. Been there done that...

ISSPro EV2 you can program the reaction sped of the needle to fast reacting darting type needle or slower and more average temperature reading.

Oh, maybe I shouldn't post my Max Speed log from my Quadzilla...

Same here, that cab is too far gone. Always got to make sure to wash all mud and vegetation of the truck that includes flushing the cowl out. Up here with Idaho DOT using more and more salt you got to make sure the mud is nowhere on the truck. The mud holds the salt to the metal and then continues to rot the body.

Then the CCD Network wire map.

Just for fun information... I've got a few 55 MPH speed zones I travel. Remember -50°F for EGT's then +1 to MPH. Killer low EGT's on flat ground at 55 MPH. Banging out roughly 28 MPG. Floating near my idle engine load. I typically idle at 11% to 13% and to be rolling at 55 MPH and that low of engine load is netting awesome MPG's.

Not for $15.99 a quart... It's a bit cheaper than the dealer still high. Ugh...

Should check it hot too full engine temp.

The 10 and 30 are from the 1996 Dodge FSM. The 15 and 45 are from the 2001 Dodge FSM.

Pulling grades Quadzilla drops back to 15° to 17° when under load. Very safe for towing. Then when I hit flat ground it jumps back to cruise state timing. Just wished there was a way to see actual timing with S03 Smarty.

Personally any laws regarding guns and firearm are invalid when you read the 2nd Amendment. "No laws shall infringe".

This is where a good exhaust brake comes in super handy. Flip the switch and let off the throttle and let the exhaust brake slow you down. I've got several grades out here in the 16% to 18% category for sure. Always nice to roll down a grade and never touch the brake pedal.

Touche` Got ya!

Smarty S-03 tuner is designed for stock injectors and caps out the timing too low. Smarty doesn't have enough timing for larger injectors. Like Me78569 has posted up the Smarty tuner data logs it caps out at like 19° BTDC where like with 150 HP injectors I'm running upwards of 23° to 24° BTDC at roughly 2,000 RPM cruise state. If I capped out at 19° degrees like Smarty does then my MPG drops off to about 17 MPG.

Only when I'm down on I84. Rest of the time my cruise is set for 60 MPH, or unless I need data to prove a point. @JAG1 try again... 671,000,000 MPH is the speed of light.

Impressive.

Best having it come on later. Better MPG's. Higher coolant temperatures mean better thermal dynamics and more energy going to the wheels, not the coolant jacket. Then if the fan kicks in then it a fair amount of engine load to twist the fan for long periods for a loss of MPGs. Like I watch mine float up to 201 to 204F in coolant and hope to not trip the fan and typically get a small gain in MPG's.

Might not work good. We just had this conversation on EGT's thread. Even though I went to 245's (30" tires) and rev to 2,500 RPM at 80 MPH but still taking 19.58 MPG. Then at 66 MPH I'm at 2,000 RPM exactly and still twisting out 21 to 22 MPG with EGT's at about 550*F. The best part is EGT's never rise above 750*F empty truck even at 80 MPH.

No. Just happen to find that on FB right after this post started. I figured I'd share. My example is the Crows Feet.

Be smoky. No fuel management. No timing. Stock ECM is fairly retarded. I've got to have the Quadzilla on to keep the smoke under control. Then with the Quadzilla off the MPG falls pretty good where with the Quadzilla there is a really good gain.

The overflow valve is stuck closed. The cap on the oil filter housing has the spring and valve. REMOVAL (1) Disconnect the battery negative cables. (2) Remove the threaded plug, spring and plunger (Fig. 152). Insert a finger or a seal pick to lift the plunger from the bore. NOTE: If the plunger is stuck in the bore, it will be necessary to remove the filter head. CLEANING (1) Clean the regulator spring and plunger with a suitable solvent and blow dry with compressed air. If the plunger bore requires cleaning, it is necessary to remove the oil filter head to avoid getting debris into the engine. INSPECTION Inspect the plunger and plunger bore for cracks and excessive wear. Polished surfaces are acceptable. Verify that the plunger moves freely in the bore. Check the spring for height and load limitations (Fig. 153). Replace the spring if out of limits shown in the figure. INSTALLATION (1) Install the plunger, spring, and plug as shown in (Fig. 152). Tighten the plug to 80 N·m (60 ft. lbs.) torque. (2) Connect the battery negative cables. (3) Start the engine and verify that it has oil pressure.
