Correct. The heavy cable has way less voltage loss in the travel. This why the charge lead needs to be as short as possible. I cut off over 4 foot of cable and down to a mere foot or so of cable to the battery. A huge reduction in voltage loss in the run across the front of the engine back to the PDC.

Oil leak
Mine just past 360k miles and started a coolant leak at the top corner.

Same with mine. Dead silent operation.

Bingo. The Injection pump automatically raises pressure as you throttle up. Now if the injector pop pressure is too low then the fuel mist is much larger droplets and then it tends to smoke more than burn because there isn't enough time to heat the large fuel droplets to go BANG! So when you raise the pop pressure back up the 310 to 320 bar realm the droplets are much smaller and all the fuel is burnt like its meant too and the smoke is minimized.

Just like my AD 150 replacement has been rock solid. No issues with the pump I still need to fix my regulator spring which I might jump into this weekend.

12v timing?
Here is the timing kit by DAP... https://www.dieselautopower.com/diesel-auto-power-cummins-timing-kit-9498ctk

Oil leak
Make sure not to get any gasket debris in the oil ports. A tip gave to me by another member!

Well, bad news post w-t mod.
Ugh. That wiretap most like is a weak fuel solenoid connection. I would pull the VP44 off so you have good access and solder and shrink tube the wire back together. Those scotch locks need to be tossed in the trash. I hate those darn things. Stealth plate is the best option.

Too much voltage loss not required.

Fuse does nothing after the mod. Unused. Only 2nd Gen trucks have a alternator fuse. Then 3rd gen trucks dropped the fuse idea.

- 12v timing?
White smoke is a sign of retarded timing. P-pump has a timing plug on the back of the pump. Where you remove the plug a little engine oil will drain out. Now inside the plug is a plastic alignment tool. Now roll the engine over to TDC #1 there should be a metal tab in the hole now. The plastic plug is to hold the pump shaft. The hard part is the tightening the pump nut without turning the pump shaft and breaking the plastic plug off inside.- List of OBDII Scan Tool Live Data Available?
Should... I used a cheap $40 tablet on mine for years.- 2001 bucking and smoking
DVM meter... DVM has to have AC scale for 2 volts or LESS. The DVM need to be able to measure more than just 60 Hz AC frequency like house power. I know O-scope is the best way but most people don't have the money for a good one. Like myself, I use a Fluke 75 DVM and it auto-scaling and reads on just about any frequency still. After you verify that then we'll talk about ground wires and fixing them.- 2001 bucking and smoking
AC noise? Have you tested for excessive AC noise from the alternator? Bad master ground for the ECM (passenger side cable)? Most likely you're drifting slowly into this RPM band and the AC noise comes on fouling the tach signal with a harmonic that the ECM thinks it's over-revving so it cuts fuel. Then if you stand on the throttle then you pass that band of harmonic and the ECM pulls through.- List of OBDII Scan Tool Live Data Available?
Someone messed with the voltage adjustment. TPS should read ZERO at idle. I ditched ScanGauge because of all the trouble to code in new gauges or data. There is no data logging function either. That lead me to change over to OBDLink LX which is what I've got now. It automagically can detect all data on the bus without programming. Then all the common apps out there have data logging features. Then its also cordless, so you can be at the engine bay with your mobile device and still see all the gauges without cord keeping you to the cab. I've been know to pull into the garage close the door and have the truck cooling down and being able to watch all the gauges still from upstairs in the living room.- Hard to start
Personally, I think you got an air leak up top. Connector tube o-ring or a mis-seated connector tube or injector which allows for it to drain back to the fuel tank. Because parking nose down keep the fuel from running back uphill to the fuel tank. It could be even the return tee on the back of the head doing it too.- Turbo and boost
At least with the Quadzilla and Edge Juice is a limitation of the CANBus, MAP sensor, and ECM. OBDII port is not used at all in Quadzilla case. Totally different network. Like another one is Coolant temp is limited to 204*F and then it rolls over -40*F. Again this is a CANBus limit but now on the OBDII port the coolant report totally normal values.- Modern Power Point
Well Jeez... May I should give up then... M73M server is CentOS Linux. My home PC is Ubuntu Linux. Android is a family of LInux... All my stuff is going to break then. Strange... The only phone I broke was the one I left on my tonneau cover and it blew off into the highway and a little car ran it over. To this day it still boots up, but the radio antenna was crushed.- Turbo and boost
Very valid points. It not so much Quadzilla limit but the MAP sensor limits and ECM. MAP sensor is pretty accurate up to about 20 PSI after that the number skew and vary from vehicle to vehicle. Boost should be measured from an external gauge. Even Edge Juice has this same problem.- Modern Power Point
Sorry, I work my phone like I work my truck. Nothing I own sits around idle or light duty.- Hard to start
As far as I know, my factory does not have a tube at all on the return side. That being said never had a hard start problem. I'm not drawing from the sender basket. I am returning the block and overflow of the VP44 to the basket. My AirDog returns to the filler neck. All my return line are NOT submerged. Just to make you think...- Modern Power Point
LOL... Maybe iPhone (iDevices) should catch up. Android is designed for 3 Amp charge rate. Damn tiny iPhone 2 Amp chargers are too slow and don't keep up. I know my LG G5 Android phone came with 3 Amp charger straight from LG.- Modern Power Point
I'm still going to find a way without cutting up the dash. - 12v timing?
