Big change in my life...
100% Absolutely agree... I understand most doctors are kind of back and forth about medical weed. There is more than getting stoned. The CBD family is more of the medical side of thing compared to the THC side which most people want to get stoned. Truthful there is benefits from both families of weed. I'm not shy about the idea at all. It's my body, my choice. To be totally honest that is one of the few reasons why I never was a big alcohol drinker because of the effect alcohol took away my mental abilities. I always thought the same about weed. I've listened to several on this but never got into it because I was healthy. Now the story changed and time to be proactive on healing as much as I can herbalistic and naturally as much as I can. I know I'm still got to go in and get the growth removed but... Why rely on big pharma?

Big change in my life...
Yeah, I'm that way. Not much stops me typically. Absolutely. That one thing both @MoparMom and I agree on. After yesterday we were so happy to get away from the city and the craziness. Go home last night driving in a snow flurry. Got home and made my nest on the couch just trying to unwind. I feel better now that I've had breakfast, a shower and got dressed and feeling a bit more normal. I'll admit that my blood pressure been up every time they get me in the office (white coat syndrome). Like I told Mom I've got to get my mind right and keep heading forward. It doesn't help when your stress out about yourself and MoparMom, driving in snow, trying to keep schedules and dealing with traffic.

How does my turbo look?
Now that I'm at home and can see this on a normal monitor. The compressor wheel got trashed. Looks kind of like when I fed my turbo a hose clamp. The bearings are for sure shot you can see where the compressor wheel made contact. Oil is the other thing there is a lot of engine oil another sign of bearing failure.

Big change in my life...
Sad to say this hard to put into text on the forum. Christmas Day I was working around the house and thought I picked up a UTI of some sort. It got worse through the evening. The next morning its started to clear then turned into I can't urinate. I drove to the hospital and found out I've got a tumor in my bladder partially blocking the right ureter. Never the less I was outfitted with a catheter and sent home with an appointment for a specialist in Meridian, ID. The ran the camera in me and sure enough, there is a fair size growth. The plan is by next Wednesday to have it removed. I'm going be out of action for a while. Anyone local to me I would like to ask for assistance if possible. My Great BoD's here are going to have to pick up the operation of the site for a while. I'm alive and well for the most part. Shaken by this, Oh hell Yes! The huge burden of trying to take care of myself and MoparMom dialysis. Then the mental stress of it being possibly cancer. Today I'm going to try and just as much as possibly gain some strength so I can just keep trucking. I've got to keep rolling for MoparMom's sake. Again I'm tapping @BrianAtSmarty for the day of my operation being I will be in the hospital for at least two days. He's going to put us up at his place and shuttle MoparMom on my days I'm down.

Be aware the Cummins thermostat looks like NAPA's previous version thermostat. I've have had excellent results so far with NAPA thermostat's. I can say Gates is rather flakey and poor quality. Cummins Thermostat and NAPA old version on the left. The NAPA current version on the right. Much larger mouth. Also the current NAPA 190F is actually a 192F. On my truck I swapped back in the 190F and it runs about 197F to 201F with the winter fronts on the truck and outside temps running 20-30F with freezing fog.

180F thermostat can get as low as 172F. As for a 190F thermostat it could be as low as 182F. I'd say replace the thermostat. 190F is optimal for you rig.

He's right the clear coat is way burnt looking.

Fuel mileage sucks! Please help!
Nice to see your face @pepsi71ocean ... Now I've also seen the rust bucket that you working with. As for injectors yes pop pressure makes a big difference in how the engine performs in cold start and smoke. Like mine are low in the pop pressure I roll off an initial bluish cloud and then the haze of bluish vapor continues. Smells of raw fuel. At throttle, the injectors are OK the line pressure is high enough to produce a good burn but not optimal.

Bad injector spray pattern will cause the miss or lope.

No current pics. But those turbo are dirty. Wow. I would pull the compressor housing and brake cleaner the entire thing. Need to wash that snail out.

I need to get a set for the 1996 Dodge Ram next... But I'm going to have to pull the carpet out and power wash the carpet clean then put them in. The light grey is getting rather dirty brown patches.

From bottom up is the same +50*F off. This is why I'm got the defuel limit of EGT set to 1350*F because it actually fully engaged at 1,300*F and comes on at about 1,200*F. That screen capture was back during the summer time. Now with winter time I'm running slightly retard timing right at 19.5 to 20* at 2K.

I've got to ask does your cruise control work?- Brand new VP44
Vulcan Performance and DAP are the only two I'll buy from. DAP sells both Midwest and Industrial injection pump. Vulcan sells industrial. Both Industrial Injection and Midwest Injection are Bosch certified rebuilders. http://www.vulcanperformance.com/Bosch-VP44-p/vp44.htm https://www.dieselautopower.com/bosch-027-vp44-fuel-injection-pump-standard-output-235hp-wire-tap-voids-2-year-warranty-vp44027 - It died...
