Fuel economy on iQuad
Let double check for sure. I've got in my console and I'll check it tomorrow on the trip down. I'll also grab my OBDLink LX and check as well.

Bipolar HVAC fan.
Strange but true, like I said as the bearings give up the current flow starts to heat up the resistor. When the resistor fails you can bet the blower is just as damaged. So would you be will to post a pic of the resistor?

Fuel economy on iQuad
Hmmm... Something isn't right then. Always -1 MPH even to what is reported on OBDII port tools. (Chris O's CCD Network tool)

New Tire Size found 235's to 245's
Just remember... NV5600 6th gear -> 0.73 - 0.75 <- NV4500 5th Gear NV5600 5th Gear -> 1:1 -- 1:1 <- NV4500 4th Gear No longer an issue with 245's. I'm typically in 4th gear (1:1 direct) on NV4500 by about 30 MPH. You can cruise 30 MPH at 1,200 RPM's. With my NV4500 in 5th, 3.55 rear end gears and 245's on for tires I'm 200 RPM's lower at 2,400 at 80 MPH. I seriously wonder if your rear axle is a different ratio.

Fuel economy on iQuad
Already done that but still incorrect value between the GPS and the dash gauge the Quadzilla is always -1 MPH off. Dash will show 65 MPH with the GPS at 65 MPH but the Quadzilla shows 64 MPH.

245's will put you close to the 3.73 ratios (3.69:1) without changing the gears. With the 245's with 3.55 rear gears 66 MPH is a perfect 2k on the tach. Then at 80 MPH your at 2,400 on the tach.

- Air filter sucked into turbo. Time for RBHAF
Brake clean is safe. Just make sure the engine can inhale that brake clean by disconnecting the discharge turbo. Allow it to fully dry before hooking up and starting. Also, have to remember if the dust went through the turbo how much that is in the discharge tube and in the intercooler.- Air filter sucked into turbo. Time for RBHAF
I hope you cleaned up that turbo before installing. Need to pull the discharge line and then take brake cleaner and clean all that dust residue off the compressor wheel. Remember that shaft spins are insanely fast RPM's. Little bit of dust can cause an imbalance which puts more wear on the turbo bearings and seals. So far with everything I've done to my truck I've never had a filter distort on the inside as of yet.- torque converter lock up install
No illuminated may be used on any control circuits. It has to be a normal ON/OFF switch no light or LED. This was a common problem with people building my high idle kit back in the past they attempted to power the light switch with the 5V from the sensor but screwed the system because the ECM could see the LED load and current flow causing errors to be thrown. Buy a standard ON/OFF (SPST) and use that.- Rattlesnake Fire, Idaho - 2018
Still just about 150 feet from deck to the black. Straight up on top.- Smoke on start up runs rough for a bit smells like oil
Ask @trreed about his shower head nozzles...- Problem solved
RWAL or 4 wheel ABS?- Poor gas mileage
Those will work good. I just made a run slamming 45 PSI of boost and tore the rear tires loose.- Valve Lash rant
Ask @hex0rz about the injector change I did on his truck. He ran the 5 hours from Sandpoint, ID show up here at 7pm and I change all 6 injectors in about 1 hour hot. Don't suggest it...- Custom pv1 tuning
Agreed...- Bumpers any advice
Funny... The only thing that hit my bumper is one deer after my first year of ownership. Then the last month nothing but hitting birds and grouse. Every one of those HD bumpers out there are super heavy and I personally think are going to add to the front axles issues and steering issues with the added weight. Then with oversized tires making the problem worse too.- trreed's upgrade thread
PIAA LED Fog or driving light are STREET LEGAL. http://www.piaa.com/store/p/187-LP530-3-5-LED-Driving-Light-Kit.aspx This is what I'm running they are actually brighter than my Morimoto D2S HID's.- Valve Lash rant
- Cursed DEAD PEDAL!!!
Best bang was what I installed is the ISSPro EV2 series. It USB programmable. Bit more pricey but comes with low pressure light, adjustable back lighting, adjustable needle reaction speed, even adjustable optional relay.- torque converter lock up install
@IBMobile has the best mystery switch setup. You might want to look at his design.- Valve Lash rant
I'm doing my slight changes to see if there is gains or losses above or below spec. Visibly there is loses with slightly tight valves that I now can see with being 2 thousandths tight than normal on hot days. I'm going to back down to 2 thousandths wide. Even though Cummins states a wide range of operational lash 0.006 to 0.015 intake (Stated 0.010) 0.015 to 0.030 exhaust (Stated 0.020) These are considered OK ranges according to Cummins specs.- Turn Cruise on; the ABS and Brake warnings come on.
I use the red grease that you typically find in WalMart. Been good this far...- Poor gas mileage
Like I'm running 14, 17, 20, 23, 26 for timing. Then cruise timing is plus 3 with load limit of 30% right now. Bouncing 18 to 20 MPG. Those 34 inch tires are not helping. I'm getting ready to drop 31 inch tires for 30 inch tires. Better gear ratio and power.- 1694
Double check the two connectors at the valve cover on the cowling. There is a CCD data bus there. Double check your passenger side grounds being the master ground for the ECM, PCM and VP44 runs across the front of the engine to the ECM. - Air filter sucked into turbo. Time for RBHAF
