  1. I agree that I eould rather keep the electronic timing versus having a static timing of a p-pump. I don't see these trucks going away any time soon. I will admit that I've done some research on software deletes on CR truck 5.9 and 6.7L yeah you can buy tuners but delete tunes are going underground. As for us less headaches and no emissions junk.
  2. If you grab the FSM from the download section it will list the ground locations. Also don't over board with grinding paint off everything. A rusty surface can be worse than a painted surface.
  3. Yeah sad but true. Seems like nothing moves without me. Between all I'm doing at home building a network and then split on a vacations I noticed things slowed down. I have to say that I needed a break and now it getting time to get back on track. I've got plenty piling up. I just did two phone calls to the east coast helping members out with tech info and spent about 2 hours on the phone dealing with missed calls just today. Friday I will be heading back for home and have to hit the deck running WOT.
  4. Exactly. @Great work! is right on the money. All the computers or electronics have limp modes to keep you rolling to get home. So sadly your going to need to replace that VP44 soon.
  5. P1688 code is more or less the checksum of the PSG is no longer matching so the code is being thrown. This is showing there is a software issues internally.
  6. Check the interior ground in the driver side kick panel. Then the ECM and PCM grounds are on the passenger side battery.
  7. Awesome looking RV. Let's see interior photos.
  8. First thought is injectors. Have them tested for excessive return flow. I just had Thor's injectors sent back for excessive return flow. Possible a bad nozzle maybe?
  9. More to show... @Honey Badger and myself at a waterfall park. Another water way. All the creeks are from rainfall not a spring. It's that wet over here.
  10. What a storage locker find.
  11. My 2002 (Beast). I can cross the entire state of Washington just a 1/4 tank. I'm running 150 HP injectors on a stock HX35W turbo with a 5 speed. I've been build custom tunes for last 8 years. Something Smarty or Edge can't do. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRwpTsgc/
  12. Yeah my secret is out. Yeah I'm in Hawaii enjoying a 2 week vacation. I couldn't turn it down being all I needed was air fare and bit of spending cash. @Honey Badger brother lives over here on the main island. We didn't need a hotel nor a rental car. That saves a bunch right there. First two days we gathered food and munchies for us and more or less just rested here at the house. But I did get few photos to share for now. This is looking off the back deck towards the ocean. We did a bit of wondering and looking around. Yup got to get close to the water but not in it yet. More to come. Just like today I've got a appointment for pedicures for both of us at 4pm. We might go wonder around with Katie's brother truck before the appointment. Saturday and Sunday going to be on the beach soaking it up. Weather here is very mild lows of 60s the high of 70s. It tends to rain a little every day on the wet side of the island.
  13. Actually I run the Quadzilla reverse I run timing with cut fuel better for MPGs. Running 24 to 25 degrees at 2k RPM but my low boost pulls the fuel down hence running timing but cut fuel to 60%. I've already hit 28.2 MPG breaking my old high mark from Edge Comp.
  14. Some areas of Idaho have smog checks yet but I'm in a county that doesn't have emissions testing as of yet. As for the Quadzilla I've made my fuel table to mimic stock fuel levels from launching up to about 5 PSI then the full fuel is felt from the injectors. Then, above 15 PSI the full CANBus and the wiretap can be felt level selectable. I've got that good I can write a tune to mimic stock fuel even with +150HP injectors installed and would most likely pass the emissions test if needed. Again, I Iook at it differently I can reduce my fuel consumption and then allowing for better MPGs and since I'm not burning much fuel I'm not polluting or wasting fuel.
  15. One of the few reasons I love the Quadzilla. I know that a member here Me78569 was able to pass smog with the Smarty at 50% power levels.
  16. 40 warm up cycles. So you have to start with a cold engine and warm up fully for 40 cycles without tripping the code again. Much easier to clear the codes and drive the truck to check for new codes and verify it is still clear.
  17. After your repair, fill your coolant system with water and add a shot of Tide laundry soap. Run the engine till fully warmed up (190*F). This should help on removing all the oil from the coolant system. As for the crankcase you might want to change oil once and then add a bottle of engine flush and run as directed on the bottle. Afterwards change the oil again to hopefully remove all the water. When doing a oil change park it in the evening and let it drain all night. This is the only way I do my oil changes and you'll get nearly 100% of all the old out of the engine and it will stay cleaner longer.
  18. The only reason I can give to the oil cooler is most likely old coolant that turned acidic and corroded through the cooler metal and once weakened then it ruptured oil passing into the coolant first. Then when shut down the coolant pressure pushed back into the oil system.
  19. I know DAP and Vulcan Performance are both selling Bosch Certified Pumps.
  20. Double check the stock lift pump lead for power. Old stock pump have been known to fry the ECM driver circuit for the lift pump. You are most likely seeing 12V for the power lead hooked to the battery. It is required to get the lift pump circuit from the ECM to turn on the relay and power the pump. Are you seeing your Wait To Start at key on?
  21. Why not use a ISSPro EV2 gauge you program the gauge to trigger an option cooler fan. Then set the warning light for danger limit. All of ISSPro EV2 gauges have this function. Like you can set a boost gauge to trigger a methanol spray kit to turn on at a set boost pressure. Lots of options.
  22. No Wait To Start no ECM. Check fuses. That is the first instruction is to light the Wait To Start.
  23. I got the same email... I've got to pos up the Quadzilla in the store the next chance I get...

    This tune Is a base daily driver tune. This tune uses the full range of timing and has a cruise timing of about 22 degrees at 2,000 RPM.
    $100
  24. Biggest thing I've seen about flatbeds and filler necks is make sure the vent hose has a downhill run fully to the tank from the neck. Make sure that no fuel can puddle in a sag of the hose. Then do the filler hose the same way. Thor is a flatbed too but no issues with filling even with a high volume diesel pump found at most truck stops.
