I realize this as well. I'm not after HP alone. This why I want to do my own experimentation to see the effects of pop pressure for daily driver applications and MPG goals more so than HP/TQ goals. I'm willing to sacrifice some HP/TQ for the longevity of the injectors and MPG performance. Like another brand of injector, I was given I refuse to install because the builder didn't want to provide full details of the injector. Nope, not happening. I already know that anything set for 305 bar or 300 bar I can promise the injectors will not make it a full 100k miles and be getting pissy and MPG dropping out. Morning white smoke as well. I'm tired of all the builders only thinking priority is HP/TQ. I want longevity and MPG performance. Even smoke control of the 320 bar is awesome very easy to clean up. Once I get done with my MPG tune getting it close I'll build a performance tune going all out power. Like my 7 x 0.0085 @ 305 bar didn't even make the full 100k miles. MPG on my last few tanks are down to 16 to 17 MPG. These are only 2 years old. The spray quality is shot. The beginning was good strong 20 and 21 MPG number and faded over time. Just got to remember 293 bar is the bottom end of the quality spray. This is why I jumped to the 320 bar allow for settling of the injectors and will end up in the 310 to 315 bar range and optimal.

That sensor needs 3 wires to work right. Being the ECM is not the cause this means either the wiring or the sensor. One last possible failure is the tone ring is loose on the crank. +5V supply Sensor return Sensor ground Did you ohm form end to end? This should give you 0 ohms for all three wires. Requires both ECM and Sensor unplugged. Did you ohm from pin to ground? This should give infinite ohms or open circuit. Just checking for wires grounded to body. Requires both ECM and Sensor unplugged. Did you check for good +5V signal? Did you check for good sensor ground? Output of the sensor is AC voltage. It a square wave signal and the ECM counts the frequency of the square wave for the tach reading. This is why the AC noise has to be ruled out for sure. If you want to you could either just pull the belt for testing or pull the field lead from the alternator so its not active. As for the tone ring. You'll see its got a removable section for installing to the crank.This is the early crank sensor in the block near the starter. If the engine has ever been swapped this article might explain some of your headaches. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/swapping-vp44-cummins-engine-between-985-00-01-02-r429/

Just remember bottom end of pop pressure is 293 bar. My last batch was set at 305 bar and didn't make 100k miles. I'm hoping that 320 bar I make 100k with good MPG at least.

I'm glad I've still got factory covers and smaller tires to reduce the heat.

When I started this adventure on Christmas Day I was right near 243 pounds. My all-time high mark is 250 pounds. My low mark was just after my surgery at 231 pounds.

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner...

Ok. As of right now 236.4 pounds.

I've only got a minor gut but I don't consider myself fat. According to LG Health App on my phone, it calls for my weight to be 171 pounds. I would be a rail at that weight. I figure a good weight would be 200 to 210 for my frame. Ahh heck, I'll just keep cranking that bicycle around. As for me, I'm feeling pretty good and still active. Just not enough time in one day. Like today after the stress and getting through that darn CT scan. Then I deal with the finance dept at the hospital. Now I'm settling down for the day and quitting.

Nope, it had less than 5k miles on the brand new FASS 150 pump and filter not a filter issue. Being both FASS and AirDog both run 3 um like I still do. Possible but strange that we both got fuel in the same fuel station and his gelled up. Mine continued to run. If there was a water issue would we both be seeing this? I can also let you know that Chevron Fuel up here the pumps are outfitted with water blocking filters. Yeah, I've done my research on this too. I still think there was more the pump and filter is in the spray, water, snow and caused most of the issues. Being still to this day I've NEVER used any anti-gel product, never gelled up yet. Then I just replaced my AirDog pump head again (now with an AirDog 4G 165 GPH). Still in all checked my water separators there was less than a few drops of water in the fuel I drain out. I've only seen the WIF light once. This was long ago and early years of ownership and I quit using Mom and pop fuel stations. Still to this day I still lean on the fact of filters in the weather. When I'm completely out of the direct wind or slung snow.

For me it started as a warm feeling then my sphincter was on fire nearly. Got hot then finally faded. That is weird how that stuff runs through your body so fast. Smell and taste weren't too bad at least for me.

DAP (Diesel Auto Power) Vulcan Performance Industrial Injection Midwest Injection

14 years...

6 foot 2 inch. My problem is the amount sit time. Like last Thursday I was in the truck for nearly 14 hours total since I left the house till the time I come home. One day I didn't make my bicycle ride.

OMG! Did @Marcus2000monster pull the trigger on a Quadzilla? You'll be happy with the tuner. Last one you'll buy. Now I would next send those injectors in for repopping.

Both had standard draw straws and both returned in the filler neck. Both filled from the same fuel station. Since I was working for this gent I got fuel at the same time he paid for it. Same fuel different pumps with different mounting locations. Mine survived, his didn't, it gelled up.

Update: Feb 01, 2019 Just got back from the hospital. The did a CT scan for my right kidney with contrast. Needless to say contrast is weird what it does to your body. I was kind of freaked about what was to come in response to the test results. I stopped by a friend place in New Meadows, ID and I got a phone call from my doctor. He had good news that my right kidney is healing and looking better. But... He still wants to schedule another surgery for going back in to make sure there isn't anything left. Not exactly thrilled with the idea but I've got time on my side he wants to schedule for the end of Feb. or beginning of March. In the meantime, I'm going to continue hitting the cannabis and RSO. It is helping that is for sure being my kidney is still healing up good. I'm going to continue my bicycle rides in Ontario. I've got a job with the local fire dept doing their diesel work and repairs on the fire trucks. This will help with the income somewhat. It will cost me time away from the website as well. I'm going to try and balance and juggle what I can till it all drops on the floor. As for me, I want to get to my goal of 15 miles next on the bicycle and possibly lose a few more pounds. I'm struggling to get below 230 pounds.

You could have it sent back to Quadzilla and have them verify the unit.

Then explain this one. Both trucks filled up at the same fuel station (Chevron in New Meadows, ID) the 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 with a FASS 150 gels up and my 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 does not gell up in the same weather and conditions. We were working on getting cows moved and hay moved. His truck gelled tight required to be towed. Mine was fine never had a single issue. The outside temperature was -20*F. Make you think... True but I can see my fuel temperature at least. Yeah, I can't see the fuel tank temperature but with the return fuel from the heat being close to the engine coolant temperature should help. True. For what ever reason I've never gelled. Same conditions and everything. I've seen more issues with the pumps hanging on the frame rail exposed.

As for LED headlights I wish they would be outlawed. Most of the LED headlight bulbs are horrid and blinding. Like my HID's have a good cutoff line and don't blind people like LED's do. I can see that bluish glow coming from another Dodge I know its a LED headlight. Man those thing suck bad. Now HID's you can tell the cutoff line might bounce a bit into your eyes but typically not as bad as a scattered LED on a stock housing.

At least I know the limits of my equipment. Yeah, I know how far I can push that turbo. Remember its only a 12cm2 housing. Excessive driver pressure will over spin the compressor and if it's out of balance just a little it would go to piece like your picture of yours. These things spin at some seriously high RPM's and reaching beyond what it capable of is risky at best. Sorry to see this kind of damage, sucks to have to rebuild an engine because of turbo failure.

Personally, for a daily driver, I would avoid the P-pump conversions. Most of them end up garage Queens and taking a fairly good loss to the MPG department. For track star or dyno queen yeah a P-pump would be great being the truck is strictly track or dyno. Street truck would have to have good smoke control. I see way too many now that rolling huge black clouds and produce MPG numbers in the mid teens at best.

Basically, the Smarty on return to stock should return to the most current version of ECM software. Just the high idle software is enabled.

I only change filters every 60k miles. Stock can and the AirDog 150 (er um now AirDog 165). Won't do much good for the FASS guys if the suction line is plugged solid with gelled fuel or ice possibly.

Even with temperatures down to -20*F this year. Still always seen fuel temperature about +62*F at the injection pump. To this day 366k miles and 13 winters with temperatures as low as -35*F in winter of 2017 I still never used one anti-gel product and still to this day never gelled ONCE. Big factor is my AirDog is not hanging on the frame. It tucked in behind the transfer case. Then my fuel line are not exposed to direct blowing wind. The fuel lines are inside the frame rail fro the AirDog forward (old pic). Then I've kept my stock filter can and fuel heater that most ditch. Now the local few that I've installed FASS 150 pumps for there is no choice but to hang it off the front bed bolt. Hanging in pump and filters in the direct wind, then in the damage path of the front tire where snow and ice are thrown on the pump and filters. I've heard plenty of complaints about the FASS 150 freezing up or gelling up at near zero. Typically the pump is in cased in a layer of ice and most times out of ten the fuse is blown. I will not suggest a FASS pump to anyone up here any longer because of the constant gelling and freeze up issues.

I pack mine with a thin layer of axle grease to prevent oxidizing of the aluminum and make them easier to come back off in the future.
