I'm heading to Seattle WA tomorrow. Not looking forward to the haul but hopefully we can make it before the storm. I'm going to be hauling my girlfriend's youngest son back with me and all his personal stuff. I'm renting a Uhaul trailer and going to use Beast to do the trip back and forth. Let's see if I can at least do good on the MPG's there and back. Still 5.589 here for diesel. Ugh..

Better yet live in a area without cell service. All I gotta do is pull the plug on my Verizon Extender and no cell service. Then walk back to the bedroom pull the WiFi router I'm no longer connected. Where I camp normal there is zero signal and services for at least 50 miles. Go back country problem solved.

Should only buy VP44s from Bosch certified sources. There is a lot of rebuilders that don't have a test stand nor do they replace the PSG on top which requires a 3 hour run on Bosch test stand to calibrate and flash the PSG. Like @dieselautopower is a good vendor sells only certified VP44s.

I created my own solution back when I had Diesel the Dobbie. I just covered the seat with like a nylon fabric and then cut a piece of plywood the shape of the seat and then screwed carpet to the board. That way Diesel had a way to hang on and get grip without damaging the cover. Then the board could be hosed off to get the hair and pet accidents off. The cover I just threw in the washer once a month. I just seen another version in a customers truck that in the yard that is the same kind of fabric as well and it drapes from the back of the front seat to the rear seats but easy for a pet to tear up being there is no board or carpet for the pet to hang on too.

Hard wood is always better than soft woods. Should try coal, one time in the stove it will burn for a very long time too. Burns clean in a wood stove as well. Like Myself I've got that maple limb that broke off and it dry and we having be burning it as well.

I really don't care if anyone is listening to me over my cellphone. If the technology really was there they would be able to take down every single criminal out there by just listening for a crime to be discussed. As friends and I talk about Biden and wanting to see him removed and have high dislike for DemonRats. Still never seen anyone come to my door and haul me away in handcuffs. Heck, even talking to friends and family about cannabis no cop has ever stopped here to check for weed or pulled me over. So the whole they are listening to your conversation I think is complete BS. @JAG1 is right keywords will target partial ads but that's about it. If you want them gone just dump your cookies the ads will disappear magically.

Please bring the prices down here it would be nice. Riggins is 5.859 still and up in McCall its as high as 6.099 yet. I'm watching gas prices drop but diesel is hanging high yet.

I'm running +150 HP injectors with HX35W turbo. No EGT's issues and great MPG. Turbo isn't needed really. The only thing I did to reduce EGT's was to drop to 245/75 R16 tire which changes the final ratio to 3.69. I can pull my 8,000 pound RV all the way to Cally to 7,500 feet with no issues.

Yup, this weirdo does kind things. Yeah its true. I was in my full dress hiding out in Winco getting grocery with @Honey Badger and like she said the lady was having issues with two food stamp card being declined. I walk over to the cashier and ask what the bill was and just whipped out the cash and paid her bill. Just because I love to dress in Emo Goth and throw people off it does create quite the stir when I'm in this mode and do stellar things like paying this lady's food bill. I had others in line just totally shocked and crying doing this kind gesture.

Kind of impossible for the VP44 only fire on 3 injectors being the rotor is going to deliver to all line equally as the distributor turns. It more possible for bad injectors to have issues (cracked nozzles, low pop pressure, etc) or partial plugged crossover tubes. Yes I know that the Cummins high idle runs on 3 cylinders but every other in the firing order. (1, 5, 3, 6, 2, 4) <- Red Cylinder number fire. Did anyone do a compression test afterwards to see if there is any compression problems. I've seen a past member having a cracked piston and changed the head thinking it would fix the problem but the piston was cracked. A single piston with a crack can foul the compression and make a miss but pass a blowby test. This why a compression test is needed to test each cylinder seperately.

Welcome to the family... Sorry I'm late to the party here but life has been keeping me hoping these days and busy. Just consider I'm running +150 HP injectors (7 x 0.010) and stock HX35W turbo and stock manifold. EGTs are low like 550*F at 65 MPH on flat ground. This you should do. This is part of my key to high MPGs and low EGT's. I will admit that tuning isn't just quick set and walk away there is a lot of fine tuning to do, I've got several tricks to keeping the MPG's high and the EGT's low. Studs will prevent head curl which typically starts by about 300k miles it will help and don't be afraid to torque them tighter I've got my ARP 425's torqued to 135 foot/pounds. That is not a typo. +100 HP injectors are child's play nice good bump in power but fairly easy to tune for MPG's. I will give away I didn't pop mine to 305 bar like more builders but 320 bar (extra 146 PSI). Better longevity for the injectors and slight boost in finer spray. I would keep the stock filter can if its still there extra filter is always a plus. I've also ran my lines inside the frame nothing to snag. As for the sender basket it can be fully replaced or just the sender part. The sender you can still get from Dodge Dealers. Then the sender basket if damaged you can get from @dieselautopower yeah I had a sender pin rot off and drop my gauge to nothing. I would drop the #1 step to the last step. Being its very possible to run a stock turbo yet on +150 HP injectors which I'm still doing without any EGT's issues. I would do #4 next insure you have the volume of fuel for what is next. Then #2 is easy enough to do. Then #3 I would do last. That way when the injectors and Quadzilla is together you can do the tune work once and move forward.

There is only a few 4th Gens up here the few I've been around, seem to start fairly easy. Now I need to say I know of summer time but not had one to play with yet for winter time. I just figured with the larger grid heater it would be able to start better.

Just to point out that I've got a customer (2006 G56) that opted for the 50 SAE trans fluid over the ATF+4. No issues to date and still shifting good. I've still got 50 SAE in Beast (NV4500) and shortly going to swap out the ATF+4 in Thor (G56) for 50 SAE as well.

Wow. I figured a new 4th gen would do better for starting. Even Thor (2006) starts really good with one cycle of the grid heaters. Then Beast (2002) starts good all the way to -40*F with two grid heater cycles. No rough running.

Holy cow... Too steep for my blood.

I run 25% load limit on cruise timing.

293 Bar is the lower limit. 310 Bar = 4,500 PSI 320 Bar = 4,641 PSI Max limit is 327 Bar according to the Dodge FSM. Adding the extra 10 Bar improved the spray starts super easy in the cold. Then it extends the life span of the injectors since when you dip below 280 Bar you'll start to see misfire at hot idle. Remember VP44 could produce pressures as high as 20,000 PSI at wide open.

Not what I'm saying grease is only the carrier for the wear metals. I termed it graphite but that what it looks like after the bearing has worn down some and has that grey metal with small fine dust of metals in it. Regardless of what grease the wear metals will be in the grease later.

Not so much what the grease is made from but how the metals of the bearing load the grease over time. Its a hall effect sensor on the ABS and if the sensor can't detect the teeth because of other metals (wear metals) filling the gaps of the tone wheel teeth in the grease then the ABS light will be set. Yeah I would prefer to have the old school cone and race that you can hand pack the bearings. I'm not going to do the expensive hub change over to get it as well as having manual hubs to shift in all the time. Again majority of the bearing failure is oversized tires and heavy offset wheel that add leverage forces and wear the bearings out quicker. I've got a conversation with another gent on TikTok about the failure that came in his shop which again had the heavy offset wheels and wide tires. Premature bearing failure will occur. As for me I go 180k to 200k on front unit bearings since I've never oversized, but undersized my tires. Never have to grease the bearings or worry about it.

My last video I made has the winter fronts in my grill. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTR4YyWpU/

Yeah I would love to know when you race next I'll go down and watch. With winter here it might be awhile.

Also running 7 x 0.010 injectors on a stock HX35W turbo no issues. Typically run level 3 but very capable of running wire tap levels too. Final ratio will determine if EGTs get out of control. I'm running 245s (30.t inch] on 3.55 gears which makes 3.69 final ratio. Just fun fact I just had my boost gauge plug blow out of the manifold and other than low power, ZERO boost and still drivable. Final ratio really changes EGTs even with no boost.

Bucking is usually a sign of over advancement. Typically occurs because cruise timing is use and stacking added timing on at a low RPMs. Pay attention to RPMand ti.ing when it bucks.
