Do you have a PCM noise filter installed?

Quadzilla questions
When you have too advanced timing the fuel is lighting off and starting flame front on the cylinder walls which in turn heats the cylinder coolant jacket. Now the engine oil temperature will rise because there is too much heat from the cylinders and now the oil cooler can't unload heat into a warm coolant jacket. When your flame is created in the bowl of the piston you notice there is no flame contact with the walls and the coolant temperature is going to be cooler around the cylinder walls. When I see the engine oil temp rise to coolant temperature I know I need to drop 2 degrees of cruise timing and I'm good to go in about 5 miles drop to about 175*F with my 200*F thermostat so then let on knowing the changes I've got to do as the weather warms up and cetane starts to drop. Reverse can be true too being too retarded can start a flame front on the cylinder wall. As the piston starts down and expanding the front on to the walls as the piston is traveling down. TIP: Optimal intake manifold temperature is between 80 to 140*F - Cooler temps just degrade MPG and require retune to stay up with the changes of fuel and environment. Tip: The optimal cetane is 40-43 on these trucks unless in winter climate then 45-47 is required. Adding more cetane does not improve fuel. More cetane you add the lower the BTUs become for the fuel. Keep your cetane as low as possible at all times. Coolant should be 190*F Thermostat. 180 Thermostat is too cold for our 24V because of the valve design it cools down way easy. This is why I went to 200*F thermostat being I've got temperatures down to -20*F this winter. Intake manifold heat is a requirement to make these Cummins run in the 20's MPG wise even at minus temperatures. SECRET: Fuel table shouldn't rise above 100% in your cruise state range. Example my truck to climb a 7% grade at 65 MPH needs about 13 to 14 PSI of boost. My fuel table rises above 100% at 15 PSI of boost. If I dig into the throttle I have all my power there at the ready. As well as cooler EGT's

Quadzilla questions
I do my timing based on oil temperature and engine load. Optimal timing the engine oil will be 30 degrees cooler than coolant. Even running 200 degree 6.7L thermostat I'm right at 172 to 175 degrees engine oil temperature. No you can no share sensors. You must install second sensors for both EGTs and fuel pressure. This will skew the actual numbers if you do share.

Need older SB Mopar pic
Oh my dual piston a/c compressor. Wow!

Alternator is on the passenger side then the power steering pump was low on the driver side of the block. If I could see the bracket I could assemble it easy.

The Cummins is back.
Did you change your registered color?

Cummins is gone.
Interesting...

Air leak Hard start in the morning.
That sucks. Might be time to upgrade away from the China made Cummins gasket produced by BLK, China. Felpro or other name gasket. I've had a Cummins head gasket delaminate.

My Personal Opinion
As I sit here playing Fable on XBox... You have no idea how cold you get without hair for the first time. Wow it's shocking how cold I feel constantly. Thankfully I have my assortment of wigs which feels good and warm now.

Kind of nice to run with the ricer down I84 for a few blasts. I'll admit I lost being to bad value in my tune setup. Now I'm ready I'll put the hurt on a ricer. Lol But yeah set the cruise and enjoy the ride.

Why I don't like being down there. Treasure Valley people are crazy drivers and can be rather stupid too at times.

Mystery Plug - Head Light Assembly
I would have to see the wire colors to know what I'm looking at. I would just pour over a few wiring maps to see what the plug is for.

My Personal Opinion
Stubble sucks on my black and blue wig. It snags on direction and slides the other. With all the loose hair on my bed I've got to wash everything to get the the hair of everything. At least I can wash my head with out the fallout and plugging my bathtub drain. The other problem of being bald is my head loses a lot of heat man its cold without hair or a wig on.

My Personal Opinion
@Sycostang67 you've been out of the loop quite a while I've expanded my make up quite a bit adding color and the lip stain (bit different from lipstick). My crew for chemo still love the idea. Even outsiders love the look. I comments all the time for my looks. Ive had forum members on the phone walking through a Winco in Boise and have the member ask me to repeat what someone would say for comment to me. As for today I got my labs done. Set a second appt to have my dressings and bags changed today. Being this is really my first time in 5 days doing makeup I tend to default back to basic black. Too much like work when your feeling crappy and lost your edge for smooth straight lines being my hand tend to shake at times. I've got my cheats I do to get by. Then with my hair loss it just easier to wear my wigs than deal with the hair falling out in my face. Yuck!

Prepping truck for sale but wanting to address gremlins
1. W-T ground wire mod will fix this... 2. Might have to replace the front speakers and the amps. 3. Double check your gauge and any electrical for the pump. 4. Something in the Ignition Off Draw is running. Might check the glovebox light possibly?

Just remember to paint your bare metal. Bare metal will rust and make for bad grounds.

Poor fuel MPG
Fuel table is selectable but I'll warn that if you are attempting for efficiency then you should be 100% or less for fuel table. I typically ride in my defuel table between 0 and 5 PSI. I can climb 7% grades without using any additional fuel above 100% even on higher levels. Hence why temperature are lower. Even while running 200°F thermostat. Thermal dynamics basically states greater differential between temperature will make them attract to each other. So cold is attracted to heat and heat is attracted to cold. The whole idea is reduce the amount of heat dumped in coolant and oil.

APPS & AC
First mistake you bought a Cummins APPS sensor. You can get a Timbos APPS for fraction of the price and it's not electronic like Cummins. Second mistake you never ever adjust voltage on a electronic APPS. Now you have you have to find the factory position which is way down around 0.5 or 0.4 volts. Out of freon if it not making cold. Might be over changed on oil if your using the big cans from part stores or Walmart. You'll have to blow all that oil out and start over.

Poor fuel MPG
Yeah about right. Didn't know the tires where changed. Then the Edge EZ is not going to make up for the timing retard of the injectors.

Poor fuel MPG
Timing is too retarded. More retard in the timing more fire and expanding gases are sent to the turbine to spool. More you advance timing, More the fuel is burnt in the cylinder leaving little expanding gases to spool. Excessive advancement can possibly blow out head gaskets. The trick is to make sure you drop your high timing before boost is made. 5 PSI or less you can run like me 26 degrees. But as soon my load changes it drops to 18 degrees. Poor final ratio. I can tell your on stock tires and too low in the RPM band. I'm running 2k RPM at 66 MPH. Then at 82 MPH I'm twisting 2500 RPM. I'm running 3.69:1 final ratio after tires.

My Personal Opinion
Another day. Last night I was chatting with Erica and we ended the conversation. I packed up for my bed. Next thing I know I'm hitting my alarms to drain but forget my meds oh well. I slept good and woke up at 9am feeling good. Every morning I open my curtain to look outside and see the world. Another day. Takes me a bit to get really rolling. Like I know I need a shower being these vinyl bags have there own odor when combined with sweat. Just getting showered and dressed is an hour project being all the extra step it takes to break down to get naked, showered, and back into clothes with all my tubing and bags hidden and proper slack so I can move. Yeah after nearly 3 months I'm getting used to it but don't like it. I will admit my last tubing exchange was awesome. With the silk stitches I'm much more comfortable and nearly zero burning feeling not like the old mono filament that stuff hurts or burns all the time. Like today I've got to get pulled together so I can snag Erica come down and hang out for the weekend. Then Monday I've got doctor appt where I've got a fasting lab blood draw. Then Tuesday back to the chemo again. Oh fun install the mini hangover.

Poor fuel MPG
Timing displayed is what is commanded. So level zero Quadzilla is disabled. Level 2 is stock fuel. Level 3 is CanBus fuel. Timing is more important than fuel. But don't have excessive fuel in your cruise state. This why the 100% stock realm for your cruise state.

Please look back at my past post fill in the numbers please.
