Exterior Article - LED Lighting - Taillights and marker lights
Slowly working at converting my truck all over to LED. So far everything I've done I've been seriously happy with. There is one mod I'm trying to plan out for is doing footwell lighting for the truck. Always happens at some point at night you drop something flip on the interior light bend over and now cast a shadow on the floor for what you're looking for. I'm going to work at the under hood light and the rear cab brake light as well.

4th Gen wheels on a 2nd Gen??
WARNING: Spacers are a very very bad idea. Not a safe way to mount wheels to axles that don't properly fit.

HELP! Flashing Wait to Start Light
You could but... He's got a point you need to have some info. ACS will at least bench test it before starting. You can call them and ask about the WTS light issue and dying out.

HELP! Flashing Wait to Start Light
ECM's are like a PC. It's got a hard drive (EPROM), BIOS that tells the CPU to boot the EPROM. CPU and Memory to run the software. So when there is issues either the WTS light doesn't come on or it flashes to note issues. I highly suggest you don't swap ECM's there is about 52 version of software per YEAR. I would suggest just having your current ECM repaired and put back into service this way there is less problems with software issues. I've seen issues where a swapped ECM refuses to talk to the PCM because of software differences. I've seen all kinds of weird issues with swapped ECM's.

Qaudzilla woes
Bingo... It's taken me over 3 years to learn what Quadzilla can do... Don't expect to learn to tune overnight and have the perfect truck in seconds.

Power steering fluid leak?
Let it drip. Catch can just make a bigger mess. When it fills up and sloshes around. Never worked in the front of the engine why would it work on the back of the engine. Still a broken idea.

HELP! Flashing Wait to Start Light
The truck will function without an IAT sensor. You can delete the grid heater all together still start and run normally. Common in the south. All the important ground are hooked to the passenger side ground terminal. Flashing WTS light is a bad news deal that points to internal ECM problem. Booting issue or EPROM issues. Mostly caused by excessive AC noise from the alternator.

Qaudzilla woes
I don't suggest EZ because of circuit board issues. There known for water getting in the module and failing. If you going this route don't go above RV275's. That will be the cleanest you can do. Oh, be aware early series of ECM don't like being flashed too much with a Smarty S03. Some ECM's have been known to fail. Then you take the risk of being locked out and not being able to start your truck then have to pay $150 buck to recover your ECM. One of the few Smarty issues it does happen.

Qaudzilla woes
You'll be stuck with stock injectors. Can't adjust timing or fuel maps. Quadzilla Adrenaline and Smarty Touch are the only two tuners that allow for cleaning burning 7 x 0.010 injectors. Edge Juice and Edge Comp are very dirty with +50 HP and above. I've got an Edge Comp and its a smoke bomb with 7 x 0.010. It was a smoke bomb with 7 x 0.0085 injectors. Canned tuners are junk on anything bigger than stock. Timing is for sure wrong fuel map way too smoky. I'll admit on stock and RV275's wasn't bad. Starts getting smoky with +50 HP. There is no way to use large injectors on Edge product. S03 is also stuck to fair small injectors and very limited timing control. If you ever got down here to Idaho I'd straighten that out in a mere few minutes.

Change the Maximum fuel stretch down towards 1,200. TPS Max should be 100 TPS Min should be 0 Minim pump tap fueling should be 0 Pump low boost scale PSI go from 10 up towards 15 Boost scaling should be 40 Another is number of power level change it from 7 to 11. Now turn down the power level to mellow the hit. Try a Smarty Touch it's even more complex and crazy.

ECM internal error. Most likely going to require sending the ECM for repair.

Trickle charger with quadzilla tuner
No issues here 2 / 6 Amp charger never bothered the Quadzilla.

Firewall insulation ripped.
That matting does nothing for sound. It does make great mouse bedding all over your engine. Then if you have an oil leak it soaks up oil and the sags down on the engine. It is great for dumping tons of dust and dirt in your valve train when you are doing valve lash or injectors. On both trucks, the hood mat came out and the firewall mat came out. No loss...

Fuel Pump Wiring Diagram 2001 Cummins
No fuse or relay in the stock ECM fuel pump control. The FASS should have its own fuse and relay setup.

Lets see what guns you "don't own" :shifty:
Thief - This is a hold-up. Trreed - Let me go back to my truck and unlock my gun so I can shoot you. Thief - "BANG" Trreed - .... A locked up weapon is worthless. A weapon left behind in your vehicle is worthless. A weapon locked up in a gun safe is worthless. Average 911 response time here in my area is better than 1 hour. You better be able to hold your own for at least 1 hour.

Need to ground my tool box.
Well errr OK. I thought that's what the 3rd round pin for was grounding. If the cord inside is the green wire is attached to the toolbox metal then just plugging in the plug should ground the box. Having GFI plug in the shop just makes it even better.

Kind of doesn't work too good when it's in a box with the trigger locked. Works much better on your hip ready to go loaded. Like mine is loaded and worn nearly daily. Never leave home without it. Firestar 9mm Made in Spain...
