IM THINKING VP 44
Just proves that the unofficial standard of 14-20 PSI works much better than the willy nilly 10 PSI crap of the past.

Big change in my life...
Thank you @portlandareae28.... I read your post and brought tears to my eyes. Yeah I'm scared and worried. Yeah I'm trying to hold my head high and take care of MoparMom. Like I'm walking the edge of a knife. Like today some misinformed hospital staff is enough to freak me out. I appreciate all the kind words. I know most of you are just to far to be here. @BrianAtSmarty is going to put us up again. I'm only human I'm already doing 110% to 120% and I'm tired and wore out most nights.

Thank you @Unreal Summit. I made a post on my personal facebook page how so many want to be friends to me. But so few of the local people know what is going on or even taking the time to find out. Now all you guys (and gals) on the M73M site have been always there to listen and help each other.

Big change in my life...
There are a few pluses to a catheter. Like you can sleep all night and never get up to pee. You can drive farther without stopping but the tail end gets sore in the saddle afterwhile. Yeah, I'm feeling good today. I made the mistake attempting to get information about Friday for times and such that end up talking to one gal (no name going to be said) but then she leads me down a path of how muscle-invasive cancer might need to go in my back. WHAT!?!? My blood pressure when through the roof and stress hit me like a brick. Finally, I got a phone call from the Doctor's office and talked to his assistant. She clearly read back what was in the report that it is NOT muscle invasive cancer. The only thing they want to do is protect my right kidney and put a stent in my right ureter to make sure no issues for my right kidney. I've had to unwind myself and gain control my stress. Tell you the truth it really does help to talk about it and give me peace seeing it textual form in front of my eyes. So strange that I got more friends on the internet and able to talk to all you and be comfortable talking to all you. Like your my extended family. I thank you all for being there and listening to me.

Bit stressed out. Gotta jump through more hoops on Friday. Today is my first day of feeling good, no pain, healed up for the most part. Still wearing a catheter which is uncomfortable. That will be removed on Friday (YEAH!) But then hour and half later I've got to go to Boise and be put under while they attempt to put a stent in my right ureter.

You might find 30 seconds might feel a bit too long. As for the power mode, it will automatically lock to 0 during warm up. This causes the fuel map to be locked to 0 PSI fuel percentage. Once the warm-up temperature is exceeded then the power mode returns back to what you had set.

High idle requires the warm up mode set. As long as the coolant is below your set temperature then high idle triggered. Now the high idle delay has to expire before high idle starts. Like myself I've got warm up set for 170 and 15 second delay.

Cummins vs Powerstroke Diesels
Myself I've got a liking for the older 6.9L and 7.3L diesel Ford trucks. As for the 6.0L and up, no way. Not an owner-friendly when you're required to have a 2 post lift and lift the body off for most engine work. 6.0L Fords way too many issues. We've got a couple in the Fire Dept. Power wise they are OK but 6.0L and EGR cooler problems, EGR valve issues, etc. 6.4L just seem buried in a ton of smog junk can't even find the engine. 6.7L I've heard the engine is more stable and less issues. But I'm limited on information.

Dude... $2,000 for a VP44...

Everyone better look at my article about Certified Bosch Rebuilders. If the VP44 is serviced by a non-Bosch service center you take the risk of getting a remanufactured pump with old PSG unit, not bench tested and pay an outrageous price for poorly serviced VP44. This is why I created this article because there are hundreds of "VP44 rebuilders" out there but don't even have the Bosch 815 test stand to test or calibrate the PSG on the VP44. Some big names even sell USED PSG VP44's at a marked up price. Hint... DAP sells both Midwest Injection and Industrial Injection pumps. Vulcan Performance sells Induestrial injection pumps. If they are not listed they do not have the Bosch 815 test stand.

vibration at idle when at stop light
Droplet is right. Dampner will slip in rotation and later show up as a wobble.

Lucky... Let's see if you pass me at the 243k mark for my last pump. 364k on the clock.

Fuel mileage sucks! Please help!
Rv275s will not be popped or flow match it will ruin the Bosch warranty. You can only pop and flow match custom build injectors like what DAP sells. Bosch stock and RV275 are as is. No pop or flow match.

How many miles on the injectors? Any longer starts? White smoke at startup?

Vac Actuator for the HVAC dashboard vents
Even better yet.

Don't feel bad Idaho seem to be like EU a lot of times. Most of this stuff is tough to find. Glad you found something.

The funny part is looking at the racing tires. Smooth wheels, no spokes or holes. Then racing slicks are smooth and no tread design per se. From that standpoint are the absolutely most efficient tire and wheel setup.

ABS kicking in
No. DRBIII tool only. You have to flash the values into the ABS module. @Chris O. tool would do it.

New Battery Cable Terminals Going In
Yes. But not worth wasting expensive oil on battery terminals.

Engine stumbles
Pop pressure?

ABS kicking in
Time to hit a dealer and have the ABS module flashed with the proper ratio of gears. ABS module isn't seeing speed properly causing this issue. There are two settings on the ABS module for the number of gear teeth and then tire rev per mile.

New Battery Cable Terminals Going In
While all you have to do all this mod, I'm still using my factory cables and they look factory fresh yet. Might be another 25 years before I replace my battery cables.

Need error codes. It's possibly a bad ECM too. The limit to 1,300 RPM is called "Limited Pedal". The white smoke and studdering is a sign of the P0216 code so it could go either way possible. Get the error codes.

Best or better anyway cruising rpm
Since top gear is basically the same for all transmissions. 66 MPH - 3.55 gears - 2,000 RPM - 245/75 R16 80 MPH - 3.55 gears - 2,400 RPM - 245/75 R16
