Centeral Timer Responded in blue bold...

Typically a good power steering flush will do wonders. 332k and still using my OEM steering box. I've got a minor input shaft leak. The flush needs to be done where you're pushing fresh fluid through the system from the reservoir to the steering box return line (not the hydrobooster).

Like myself I'm running an HX35/40 hybrid turbo (60/60/12) with DAP +75HP injectors (7x0.0085) tuned with Quadzilla Adrenaline. I'm not currently wire tapped but it really tough to get the EGTs past 1100*F. I'm also running Jacobs exhaust brake.

Can't stack Hotrod pumps with tuners with timing. You need to turn down your timing to compensate for this issue. Hotrod pump has the timing mechanically altered when the pump is built.

Here is the article for this problem.

I tend to agree with @Me78569 . I'm no longer a fan of canned tuners like Smarty S03 or Edge EZ, Edge Comp, or Edge Juice. Most of the people here are jumping into the Quadzilla Adrenaline tuners and the custom tunning. The only other tuner right now in the same class is the Smarty UDC / Smarty touch but remember Smarty is still only a 60-65 HP tuner yet compared to a 180 HP Quadzilla Adrenaline tuner. Price wise the Quadzilla bet it hands down sorry to say. I'm running DAP (7x0.0085) +75HP injectors and a 35/40 Hybrid Turbo (60/60/12) run pretty darn good with just CANBus fueling only on the Quadzilla Adrenaline. Ask @Me78569 about his injector pop testing thread that a good read! Thanks. I wish I had the time to wander websites like in the past but when I'm managing other websites now for their owners it keeps me rather busy. That's why you don't see me on CF much anymore.

Yeah that my point if I leave my grid heater disconnected I'll never have another alternator problem ever. The point is something is placing excessive load on the alternator causing the diodes to overheat and fail then the AC noise is the result of the diodes overheating. So my point is what is causing the diodes to get hot and overheat? The only load in the entire system is either the grid heaters banging away on the alternator at idle or batteries that have little to no capacity left and require constant charging because of shorted cells. Batteries are in good condition yet so it lead me back to the loads. The only one that could be creating the overheat is the grid heaters. Reason, I keep coming back to this is my 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 is still running the factory OEM alternator for 22 years and 169k miles and never been replaced. Same darn alternator being its a Denso. Smaller starter loads and no grid heaters. Never had a TQ Conv. lock and unlock issue on that truck from day one. Yeap... It got a 46RE transmission. So why is it this truck has a factory OEM alternator for 22 years? Again this shows excessive loads are the cause of the diode failure from overheating. Still only occurred after 10 years. So what load wise has changed...

The reason why the 140 Amp fuse was installed is for the stupid people that would manage to hook up a set of jumper cables reversed polarity and attempt to cook the diodes out of the alternator. Which the would be a dead short and the fuse would blow out automatically.

Something that might be interesting. You can clearly see the ECM and VP44 ground in this diagram but take notice where the grid heater solenoid ground and PDC grounds come together. Now I know @W-T knows that when a solenoid is de-energized there a surge that comes from the solenoids. This is most likely feedback on the grounds that feed the ECM and VP44 being it's the same G115 ground. Again the G115 ground feeding the PCM as well.

That's wrong... LOL

That's because the front axle can be sitting still and the front two sensors show ZERO speed or very low speed and then the rear axle hops up to 60 MPH so the computers cannot understand how half a truck is sitting still or barely moving and the rear axle is 60 plus MPH. POOF! P0500 code tossed.

Correct. When timing is wrong engine load will rise wasting fuel.

Not a problem...

Here is my wiring diagrams. The alternator is a simple circuit. The blue field lead should have +!2V with key on. Then green lead should be a variable ground to control the field and control charging voltage. You might check the alternator fuse to make sure it's not blown.

Best I can provide.

Now tell me if the cruise state engine load goes up or down from the change. I'm betting down. If so then the timing is too advanced.

Try for about 18.8* to about 19.2* at 2,000 RPM cruise timing. Then for performance timing it should drop to about 15* this boost builder. I'm not exactly attempting for good MPG been driving hard, fast at times, even pushing hard on snow and ice with 4WD operation so my numbers are kind of well, LOWER than my hard pressed 21 MPG I pulled using my current tune. The other factor is winterized diesel requires a slight retarding of the timing to keep going. Larger injectors require a small bump advanced to give to ignite the fuel. Crazy balancing act. I'm waiting for summer fuel to come back and really put the test to this tune.

I typically just get the error numbers then come back here and get the right definition of the error codes.

You don't want to attempt to set the cruise timing too high. My article explains on how to get a good number that works well.

Ok... Let me tag @AH64ID he's my 3rd Gen tech here. He's really good. Then let me get the codes. At least this will define the problems. It looks like there is a wiring issue with injectors #1 and #2.

Need to read my write up....

Most scanners are generic and do not have the proper definitions for Diesel Engine or model specific error codes above 1000 in numbers. All error codes above 1000 is year, make and model specific so generic definitions tend to wrong 99.9% of the time.

"ITS NEVER THE WRONG TIME TO DO THE RIGHT THING." This young man is articulate and has a flare for colorful language. Scorpions, Chiggers & Sand Fleas, oh my! From a Recon Marine in Afghanistan: From the Sand Pit It's freezing here. I'm sitting on hard cold dirt between rocks and shrubs at the base of the Hindu Kush Mountains, along the Dar'yoi Pamir River, watching a hole that leads to a tunnel that leads to a cave. Stake out, my friend, and no pizza delivery for thousands of miles. I also glance at the area around my *** every ten to fifteen seconds to avoid another scorpion sting. I've actually given up battling the chiggers and sand fleas, but the scorpions give a jolt like a cattle prod. Hurts like a bastard. The antidote tastes like transmission fluid, but God bless the Marine Corps for the five vials of it in my pack. The one truth the Taliban cannot escape is that, believe it or not, they are human beings, which means they have to eat food and drink water. That requires couriers and that's where an old bounty hunter like me comes in handy. I track the couriers, locate the tunnel entrances and storage facilities, type the info into the hand held, and shoot the coordinates up to the satellite link that tells the air commanders where to drop the hardware. We bash some heads for a while, and then I track and record the new movement. It's all about intelligence. We haven't even brought in the snipers yet. These scurrying rats have no idea what they're in for. We are but days away from cutting off supply lines and allowing the eradication to begin. But you know me; I'm a romantic. I've said it before and I'll say it again: This country blows, man. It's not even a country. There are no roads, there's no infrastructure, there's no government. This is an inhospitable, rock-pit ****-hole ruled by eleventh century warring tribes. There are no jobs here like we know jobs. Afghanistan offers only two ways for a man to support his family, join the opium trade or join the army. That's it. Those are your options. Oh, I forgot, you can also live in a refugee camp and eat plum-sweetened, crushed beetle paste and squirt mud like a goose with stomach flu, if that's your idea of a party. But the smell alone of those 'tent cities of the walking dead' is enough to hurl you into the poppy fields to cheerfully scrape bulbs for eighteen hours a day. I've been living with these Tajiks and Uzbeks, and Turkmen and even a couple of Pashtu's, for over a month-and-a-half now, and this much I can say for sure: These guys, are Huns, actual, living Huns. They LIVE to fight. It's what they do. It's ALL they do. They have no respect for anything; not for themselves, their families, or for each other. They claw at one another as a way of life. They play polo with dead calves and force their five-year-old sons into human cockfights to defend the family honor. Just Huns, roaming packs of savage, heartless beasts who feed on each other's barbarism. Cavemen with AK-47's. Then again, maybe I'm just a cranky young bastard. I'm freezing my *** off on this stupid hill because my lap warmer is running out of juice, and I can't recharge it until the sun comes up in a few hours. Oh yeah! You like to write letters, right? Do me a favor, Bizarre. Write a letter to CNN and tell Wolf and Anderson and that awful, sneering, pompous Aaron Brown to stop calling the Taliban "smart". They are not smart. I suggest CNN invest in a dictionary because the word they are looking for is "cunning". The Taliban are cunning, like jackals, hyenas, and wolverines. They are sneaky and ruthless, and when confronted, they are cowardly. They are hateful, malevolent parasites who create nothing and destroy everything else. Smart? Bullshit! Yeah, they're real smart, Most can’t read, but they've spent their entire lives listening to Imams telling them about only one book (and not a very good one, as books go). They consider hygiene and indoor plumbing to be products of the devil. They're still trying to figuring out how to work a Bic lighter. Talking to a Taliban warrior about improving his quality of life is like trying to teach an ape how to hold a pen. Eventually he gets frustrated and sticks you in the eye with it. OK, enough. Snuffle will be up soon, so I have to get back to my hole. Covering my tracks in the snow takes a lot of practice, but I'm good at it. Please, I tell you and my fellow Americans to turn off the TV sets and move on with your lives. The story line you are getting from CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC and other liberal news agencies is utter bullshit and designed not to deliver truth but rather to keep you glued to the screen so you will watch the next commercial. We've got this one under control. The worst thing you guys can do right now is sit around analyzing what we're doing over here. You have no idea what we're doing, and you really don't want to know. We are your military, and we are only doing what you sent us here to do. From a Jack Recon Marine in Afghanistan, Semper Fi. "Freedom is not free, but the U.S. Marine Corps is paying most of your share". Send this to YOUR FRIENDS so that people there will really know what is going on over here. God Bless America. PS Why would any civilized country want to bring these barbarians into their cities or states. To do so is total suicidal insanity! We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. WHATEVER YOU DO ALWAYS GIVE 100%... UNLESS YOU ARE DONATING BLOOD.

"US" by Paul Genova (Mr. Paul Genova has been President and Chief Operating Officer of Wireless Telecom Group Inc. since June 30, 2016. I haven't said too much about this election since the start...but this is how I feel.... I'm noticing that a lot of people aren't graciously accepting the fact that their candidate lost. In fact you seem to be posting even more hateful things about those who voted for Trump. Some are apparently "triggered" because they are posting how "sick" you feel about the results. How did this happen you ask? Well here is how it happened! You created "us" when you attacked our freedom of speech. You created "us" when you attacked our right to bear arms. You created "us" when you attacked our Christian beliefs. You created "us" when you constantly referred to us as racists. You created "us" when you constantly called us xenophobic. You created "us" when you told us to get on board or get out of the way. You created "us" when you attacked our flag You created "us" when you took God out of our schools. You created "us" when you confused women's rights with feminism. You created "us" when you began to emasculate men. You created "us" when you decided to make our children soft. You created "us" when you decided to vote for progressive ideals. You created "us" when you attacked our way of life. You created "us" when you decided to let our government get out of control. You created "us" the silent majority You created "us" when you began murdering innocent law enforcement officers. You created "us" when you lied and said we could keep our insurance plans and our doctors You created "us" when you allowed our jobs to continue to leave our country. You created "us" when you took a knee, or stayed seated or didn't remove your hat during our National Anthem. You created "us" when you forced us to buy health care and then financially penalized us for not participating. And we became fed up and we pushed back and spoke up. And we did it with ballots,not bullets. With ballots, not riots. With ballots, not looting. With ballots, not blocking traffic. With ballots, not fires, except the one you started inside of "us" "YOU" created "US". It really is just that simple.

I would replace the #2 injector line. There has to be mating problem with the high pressure.
