Airdog low pressure
Now think a second... That larger spin on water separator with all that screen area vs. a little piece of screen stuffed in the inlet of the Raptor pump.

I gather with that monster of an engine you did the Quadzila 4k box correct? If so that is going to be night and day difference between Edge and Quadzilla. I know we don't have any tunes for the 4k series on hand but between @Me78569 and @Quadzilla Power I'm sure we can get you started on tuning that Quadzilla.

VP44
Absolutely... That is the best time to do it. It only took another 20 minutes to remove the other tidbit and slap that tappet cover on with a fresh gasket,

Came to the right place. Would you be willing to explain your signature a bit more? 6.7L VP44? Seems like a heavy modified engine.

Can you stop battery corrosion?
Back in the 70's when I was growing up I use to see a thick coating of bearing grease on the terminals. I would rather use the fluid film or PB blaster.

manual boost controller
Same here... I've got a steering box that I more or less turned into junk.

Anything with a dotted underline just hover your mouse on the word and it will show what the word means.

Oddball 24V DTC's active.
ECM fried... P0606 code present. That being said now you need to test the alternator for excessive AC noise then you can ship your ECM off to the rebuilder.

You did the standard shipping. I did the expedited shipping for the US. Bit more money but mine will be here on Friday.

Black smoke just means your wasting fuel and your providing too much fuel for the amount of boost. This is a very good thing your fuel amount to boost is just right. For sure need to install a better fuel supply system this is not making the grade for you. You want to have 14 PSI at WOT running down the highway at its lowest.

I'll most likely just buy a 1-foot chunk of hose and loop on one end short piece on the other.

Borgeson steering box
I'd rather keep the Saginaw box. Easy to rebuild and make tight again.

Ok, it just did... Now what?

Craigslist woes
You might keep an eye on the apps your using and what possibly causing the radios on your cell phone to crash. I've got a weird issue myself where my WiFi shows good strong signal but does nothing. Reboot the phone and it all good. Some times with the Quadzilla it refuses to start back up the App. Shut off the Bluetooth radio and turn it back on... Work fine. Just try to be aware of the app that you using if you got some that 3rd party questionable you might try for a different app or disabling to see if this stops.

No. Turn ignition key OFF Disconnect batteries Turn key ON Wait 5 to 10 mintues Turn key OFF Hook up batteries Do APPS relearn process.

Craigslist woes
I don't use Craigsist at all. According to what I read you have to create a whole new account. The reinstating the old account is locked forever. There is a long list of DO NOT do'es that will get your account IP locked.

Drive train info
If remember right @Me78569 mentions that the Quadzilla does some fuzzy math to get the speed number. Like my truck I'm running 99.7" tires and it 2-3 MPH off. The fuzzy math is a bit off for sure.

Breather for valve cover?
Like most here would grab just standard old heater hose for the 12V tappet cover since that is a straight down run no biggy. If it was me I would use about 6" of 3/4" heater hose and the rest PVC pipe and know that it will never kink up. Any kind of rigid pipe will work great. Copper would work too. Just create a custom mounting tab for the oil pan bolt and it will never flop around. All kinds of solutions other than rubber hose.

Ummm That is going to give me nightmares seeing @dripley in a cow suit.

Ground Reference VP44,ECM,PCM,PDC plus TC lock/unlock
Technically the best design would of been come out of each device and ground right there next to the device. I know the VP44 has that nice threaded hole next to it that @W-T used. Now the ECM has the ground for the lift pump and fuel heater behind the starter right close to the ECM. The PCM you would have to go to the other end of the ground strap. That would cover the 3 main computers.

Turbo options and opinions
Like I'm learning there is no canned tune that will fit your particular case. Every truck and driver has different tastes and hardware. Like me, I want a good balance of power and economy. My tunes typically are going to be a bit on the retard side being I'm looking for power down low RPMs. Then my power band I've got to change up my upper end once I get my boost controller in. Even though my economy tune is using the minimum amount of wiretap I still can get rather hot EGT wise but is this because I hit choke point? or am I over fueling yet? or maybe both? So I got to systematically fix these little issues one step at a time. First, gain control of my turbo boost pressure and limit it to about 35 PSI for starts. Then see what it does from there. If it's still hot then tune the 20-30 PSI band of the CANBus fuel back. I know my performance tune is a bit over fueled and it shows it blows a cloud but clears up rather quickly. My economy tune is basically smokeless. My previous version of the Economy tune was smokeless but never got hot at all. Now add the wiretap at got stupid hot quick. Toss on the backdown limit as a band-aid. Now if I start a pass on the high from about 50-55 MPH pulls like a mule for about a car length then hits the backdown, drops hard for a second or two then starts to fuel again but limited. I want to get a nice smooth power band that I can hold my foot to the floor till 100 MPH with even thinking about EGT's.

Did my VP go too?
I borrowed Bob Wagner Smarty years ago and flashed mine to enable the high idle.

New guy in the PNW
Welcome to the site... There is plenty of Quadzilla tunes in the Download area. You might have to tweak and tune them a bit but its a starting point.
