Mobil 50 SAE GL-4 Synthetic Transmission fluid. Same stuff used in Eaton Fuller 10 speed transmissions. I'm at 110k miles and still going... No shift issues even with winter temperatures down to near -30*F and shift like butter. Be aware 50 weight oil is actually 90 weight Gear Lube much thicker. Like 75w-85 for the NV4500 is like 10w-30 engine oil.

The circuit breaker is only just in case the alternator diodes short to ground if so to prevent the wire from glowing and igniting a fire under the hood. So the breaker should be big enough for maximum charge amperage and cut the battery loose if it happens to short to ground.

Yeah, but there isn't much truth there either. Being I'm one of the rogue owners that bailed out and went out on a limb to prove that there are much more options.

Check back, Michael Nelson replied Tuesday at 07:44 PM is the reply...

I did get the diode for your type of alternator...

Yep... Alternator is moved to the passenger side and the ECM and VP44 ground moves to the driver side plus the gear case.

Time to contact Quadzilla sounds like warranty issue.

Error codes? Check with a scan tool. Report back the codes.

TST has no timing. That's why most stack with a smarty to make up the short comings.

Too wide of gap...(possibly) Lay a quarter (coin) on the bottom that what you measure too on an empty tank. No real notches needed I very lightly notch mine, not for volume but to prevent it from sucking flat to the bottom. The design is to let the deflection of the tank bottom rise up to the tip of the straw close to allow it to suck up as much fuel as possible. The bottom deflects another 3/16 or so with the full tank. So cutting the straw short causes the 1/4 tank issue.

High marked at 27.2 MPG, averaged about 22 MPG. Very difficult to do. Timing was wrong, too advanced in the winter time which I created the high idle mod and MPG fooler to fix that. (-1 point to Edge Comp). Then you have to drive 55 MPH (and under) all the time, if the engine load exceeds about 20% all the cruise timing is cancelled (-1 another point for Edge Comp). Drive like normal highway speeds the MPG dropped to about 18 MPG. At 80 MPH on the I84, it would drop deeper like 14 MPG.

That what we are for, everyone here is here to help others learn all the tricks. Oh blow by... I'm sure you not to this point right?

Best thing to do is ask a high mileage guy what he's running of oil and filters. Because if he made 500k, 750k or 1 million miles its a good choice of oil and filters. I'm coming up on 400k miles pretty quick. I know @dripley is nearly to 500k miles. Oh speaking of which make sure when the head comes off to snap a photo of the cylinders. I'm curious.

Most likely not clogged. 5 cylinders will run with a miss. Even 3 cylinders will run, like 3 cylinder high idle. Possible if your cranking pressure is above 12 PSI on the fuel pressure. These engines will start and run without ZERO fuel pressure. Not possible. Diesels are wide range of fuel to air ratios. Bad compression will have a ton of blowby vapor from the crankcase vent and typically losing oil out the vent.

Disconnect the CANBus lead and the MAP sensor and try again.

If there is over 100k on the stock I highly suggest they are replaced or pop tested.

Heck, even the GetRag 360 was 10w-30 engine oil. Then the G56 in the common rails is ATF+4 as well from the dealer.

The only reason I give this warning I've already came from Edge Comp. +50 HP injector is rather smokey and attracts a lot of attention to you. RV275's are OK still bit smokey injector but controllable. Stock injectors are the best being that Edge Comp is actually built around stock injectors more so. Smoke is a sign you need more timing advancement or less fuel. Yeah, I ran an Edge Comp for 10 years. I know it was hella smokey when I tested it on my 7 x 0.0085 +75HP injectors. no control of smoke at all.

Just checking. Sometimes people don't catch the pucks in the top of the springs. Just a leveling kit can alter the caster pretty good. Since its stock, I would say hit an alignment rack.

Extra ground isn't needed. You already have the monster cables from the passenger side and the driver side.

CANBus and MAP. Hook the XZT to the CANBus and MAP sensor. I'm going to highly suggest you never get big injectors.

Let's say that Dodge Dealer is now filling both NV4500 and NV5600 with ATF+4 transmission fluid. Since neither fluid is no longer manufactured. If your worried about specs then Dodge dealer choice of ATF+4 is telling me there is not much to the spec other than its got to thin fluid for shift quality.

Sure not a daily driver. Sure not street friendly if it rolls that much coal. That truck should be strictly track only and not driven on the streets. Then needing that much starting ether to fire up on 60*F morning. He must buy the ether in cases...
