Alternator is marginal at 0.075. I would replace the alternator or diodes. Then do the W-T ground mod.

Well we will see. Ill have the batch by Friday.

Thanks... Ill be careful and see what happens. It got to be better than bulbs now that continue to melt the lens in my bedroom. Ugh...

Ummm... Puddle jumping... No issues.

Let me mention one thing here. If you need diff covers for ditching the heat in the fluid you might look at what is causing the heat. When there is inefficiency somewhere getting the power to the ground the object will create a huge amount of heat. When your reducing drag and inefficiency, you will reduce the amount of heat produced by the device. Then there is also a requirement for lubricants to gain a certain amount of heat for optimal running also so the fluid can vaporize any moisture. Just something to think about.

It's 6:22am here... Rained another 0.5 inches early this morning. My neighbor down the road has spent the evening sandbagging homes in New Meadows. It's up to 8.2 feet in the Little Salmon River and flood stage is 10.0 feet. It's time to get out of here.

Never collapse at 135k of dirt road travel.

Every thing is done on the mobile device. You can even adjust while rolling but not suggested for safety reasons. No PC required for tuning. The PC is only required for firmware updates.

Bingo... Thanks for confirming what I was thinking!

You might do a search for Gale Bank Diff Cover testing and watch all the videos. There is a bunch of info to at least listen to and look at. https://www.google.com/search?q=gale+bank+testing+diff+covers&oq=gale+bank+testing+diff+covers https://www.alligatorperformance.com/info/blog/post/banks-power-prototype-rear-diff-cover-video-and-pictures-inside

Being I'm packing up the RV I started thinking about the lighting in the RV. I found an Amazon page that has LED lights in sets of 20 for cheap $13 for all 20 LED lights. That's a mere 67 cents a bulb. I can change out all my lights in the RV for next to nothing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076V9XXW6/

Not needed. The stock intake is fine for at least 500 HP (or possibly more). When you open my hood all you see that is different from stock is the BHAF. The rest of the engine looks stock. I want to mention that for daily driver trucks optimal IAT temperature is 100°F to 140°F below about 80°F there is a pretty good loss of MPG. Cold air actually hurts MPG's. Being I live up here in central Idaho and see winter temps down as low as -40°F. As for exhaust don't bother with 5-inch exhaust unless your planning on 600 HP and above. 4-inch exhaust is OK but no real measurable difference between the stock 3 inch straight piped or 4-inch muffled. The only thing I don't like is the added drone on grades sucks. For now, I suggest the Quadzilla and learn how to tune then you can start adding bigger injectors and more power safely once you understand your tuner. I would suggest that you contact @Dynamic in the future and talk to him about transmission upgrades to hold the amount of flywheel power you plan on. Dynamic is our sites transmission guru. Great guy!

Got you covered... Check fuses off that ACC contact. 

Mitchel is a cool guy to work with. I've done a lot with him. Lenny and Nate, my memory bit fuzzy about them. Still in all DAP has a good crew to handle just about any need you have! Thanks, @dieselautopower for taking care of my members here as well!

As more torque is needed the more retard you need to get back to spooling of the turbo.

I've tested my filter minder numerous times and the amount of vacuum is so light to pull the disk all the way down is unbelievable. If the filter minder isn't moving then there is zero worry about filter restriction. There is a difference between speaking a bunch of specs from a book than actually making real-world measurement and find out there is a whole different world and information. This why I don't get all crazy about specs in a book. I'm more into actual real-time measurements and what a device or part can really do. Just like my turbo is way outside its mapped area specs wise but real-world measurement it works awesome. Great sprint turbo for quick boost of power for passing.

Secondary plan is in action now. Pack the RV and move down to Parma temporarily till things settle down a bit more. Jayco is hitched up, new plate and tags. Water lines flushed of anti-freeze. All systems have been tested and ready for service. Just gotta hope that everything holds up till tomorrow. Total rain up to this point is 2.1 inches... Even a bit of youtube fun today...

I'm going to bring up something... Some of you know I've been battling bladder cancer. Personally, I think my bladder cancer is from all the brake cleaner and carb spray and carb dip I've used over all these years and now caught up to me. I would look for other options of engine cleaning other than these toxic sprays. Myself I use Home Depot degreaser concentrate which is an acid based cleaner. Then lots of power washing with 3,000 PSI power washer. It keeps it clean. Another one that works too is just spraying diesel fuel on a cold engine and leaving it to sit a bit and the power washing off.

Yea... New Meadows is flooding out. My neighbor happens to catch me leaving the logging company in New Meadows and you can clearly see I'm swimming the truck across the parking lot. Hydrologic Outlook IDC003-015-025-039-045-075-085-087-ORC001-025-045-082130- Hydrologic Outlook National Weather Service Boise ID 144 PM MDT Sun Apr 7 2019 /1244 PM PDT Sun Apr 7 2019/ ...RAIN AND SNOWMELT WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR MINOR FLOODING ALONG RIVERS AND STREAMS EARLY THIS WEEK... A series of weather systems will impact the region through early this week and bring periods of rain to the area. Moderate to heavy rainfall is possible through Monday, especially across northern Baker County, and the West Central and Boise Mountains. Snow levels as high as 8000 feet are expected. The combination of rain and accelerating snowmelt will cause sharp rises on rivers, creeks, and streams with minor flooding possible. At this time, some of the rivers that could reach bankfull or minor flood stage early next week include the the Silvies River near Burns, the Weiser River near Weiser, the Middle Fork Payette River at Crouch, and Mores Creek. A Flood Watch is in effect for the Silvies River near Burns and the Weiser River near Cambridge and Weiser. Areas with deep snowpack such as the Long Valley, Round Valley, and the Camas Prairie will see increased runoff as well, which may cause ditches to overflow, leave water standing in fields, and impact low-lying roads. Rivers and streams will be running high and swift. Exact impacts of the runoff will depend on how fast the snow melts and how much rainfall occurs. Continue to monitor the forecast for the latest details. Here is the river flow report in my area... https://waterdata.usgs.gov/id/nwis/uv/?site_no=13316500&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060,00010

Stock lift pump sure. Being there was no fuse or relay protect in the stock setup. Now with AirDog and FASS system come with a 20 amp fuse and protection relay I seriously doubt there is any way to cause damage to the ECM unless there was a wiring fault that shorted the ECM lines. Now I can see the transistor blowing up in the ECM that switches power on and off.

Not to take the wind from your sails is not my intention but... There was actually a note long ago back in the 98.5 that Dealers were aware of tuners present on the vehicle just by check the overhead computer and see what is displayed. This was an instant way for the dealer to turn around and void the warranty on the truck because there is a tuner present. Even if you were using a Smarty S-03 that clams to no leave a footprint in the ECM but it leaves the clues on the overhead computer.

What happened? What was found wrong with the PCM?

That can be explained too. The overhead console or as well all call it the overhead idiot. First of ECM does not produce a GPH flow rate figure on the ECM. This has to be calculated from boost pressure and a few other things. Now with a tuner and larger injectors, the commanded duration is much less giving the illusion of being higher MPG but actually, the flow amount is the same as it was before. Like my, Quadzilla is using a 47% offset to correct for 7 x 0.010 @ 320 bar injectors. Using my last fuel log entry of 20.8 MPG now calculate the 47% offset would have shown 30.57 MPG on the overhead idiot. Now if you running oversized tires on the odometer is screwed up adding to the mess. Like for my setup, my idle engine load is about 11 to 12% then my cruise at 65 MPH is 19% engine load. This is way lower than the most stock truck that is up around 30% and 35% engine load for 65 MPH. In my case, I've flashed the ABS computer to report the correct speed and mileage. Then the Quadzilla can compensate for the injector flow and show accurate data on MPG. Like my last tank, I was only off by 0.08 gallons between the pump and the Quadzilla. You best off yanking that overhead idiot out and putting the plastic plug up there. 99% of the data given is junk. At least this data is dead on...

Actually, I'm packing the RV as we speak and bailing out for south to Parma to @Smarty Support place. Why? The snowpack and heavy rainfall have brought the rivers and creeks up big time. I've got to think more about MoparMom getting to her dialysis treatments. No. I'm staying semi-idle for now while I heal and handle things a bit slower for now. Once I'm healed up and riding 20 miles on the bicycle again I'll be ready for all you crazy Cummins Nuts by then. I'm going to pack my laptop and try to get work done while I'm hiding in Parma for the next week. @JAG1 you bring yourself up here and you bring your bicycle and we'll see who can make it up the Big Salmon River or not... I'm game how about you? PS: That turned out awesome using my cellphone cradle to hold my cellphone while it records video.

Yeah, that is close enough. Basically, the Edge and Quadzilla listen to the CANBus data and then when its time to add more power the tuner now intercepts the message rewrites the data with the tune value and then set the priority bit to override the last command. Smarty S-03 or Smarty Touch completely rewrite the entire fuel timing tables from the ground up with custom information. This comes at a price there is no cooldown timer. No warmup mode lockout. No defuel limits. High idle is the ECM high idle controlled by IAT temperature. There is some adjustment of fuel and timing but extremely limited for the 24V trucks. Way different on CR engine where the Smarty Touch is 210 HP tuner on the 24V trucks is just a mere 60 HP tuner. Quadzilla on stock injectors would be able to reach that no problem. It will take some tune work to get that but it can do it. As for reliability and longevity speak, I'm currently at 500 HP roughly and closing in on 400k miles. I've made a few upgrades to reach this but nothing crazy. Injectors, Quadzilla, Used HX35/40 turbo, ARP 425 Head Studs, etc.
