@IBMobile are you by chance using relays with your lights or just directly plugging 100w bulbs in?

Quadzilla Adrenaline V2 Testing
So why is the Quad designed for 2050*F??? Spencer needs to reconsider that idea...

AC Ripple Test
AC ripple test.

Fuel Temperature
Yes. The fuel heater will automatically attempt to heat the fuel to 65-75*F for normal operation.

Cooling the VP44
Remove your cooler from your VP44. As long as the VP44 allowed to cool by fuel flow it fine.Use fans and coolers you taking the risk of the run backwards problem. Simply the colder the fuel the more risk of starting backwards because the VP44 automatically advances timing for colder fuel so if the fuel.

Cooling the VP44
I've seen a few cases here locally where it's happen even with an older 2 1/2 ton military trucks. Where the exhaust burned up the air filter and ran like crap. Also all forward gears are reverse and reverse gear is forward. The gent that did it was wondering why he could not find forward gear.

Hey @Quadzilla Power take a look at the OBDLink App and how it works it will give you a clue to my ideas.

Cooling the VP44
Excessive timing advancement because of cold fuel plus high fuel pressure. Goo combo for starting backwards typically more so with a hot engine and cold fuel temps.

I can try my old 02 MAP sensor.

Mine is the same reporting 1-2 PSI at idle.

Cooling the VP44
I've ran into a guy that had fans on his VP44 and managed to create a condition where he could start his engine backwards from the excessive cooling of the fuel, which could over advanced the timing it would literally start the engine and run backwards. Not a good thing for the engine to do. So the whole panic of keeping the PSG cooled is no longer an issue as long as you keep 14-20 PSI of fuel pressure at all time and some sort of fuel lubricant (<520 HFRR). Yes he does...

Quadzilla needs a data logger like the OBDlink App has. You don't have to import anything to excel or anything its all self-contained. The problem I've got is the limited time it logs data and the requirement to email myself where I don't have any cell service so I rather not bother fighting to get apps to export from one to another just to see logged data. If the data was saved directly to a file period I would be tickled.

High idle Mpg switch problems
Which version of switch are you running? With the circuit board? Which cable are you running the white cable or the black cable?

Thinking of picking up a 70 power wagon...
I ran around in a 1972 Dodge Power Wagon 360 CID with a 4 speed 4 wheel drive for better than 10 years. Traded it in on the 2002 I've got today.

I've already got that problem with the Jayco RV hitch up and loaded.

New heat pump system
Have to... If you have people stomping around crushing down all the new fiberglass blown in then it worthless. I've already talked to "OuR Factor" and he told me the same thing to get the heat pump installed first then blow the fiberglass in so it not disturbed by people crawling around the attic space. So I'm just doing it the right way...

Cooling the VP44
Shut down doesn't matter. Like I can lay my laptop in my pickup turned off at 160*F without harm. Now pull it out after soaking in the heat turn it on and it will work just fine. Most all electronic devices can withstand storage temperatures well above the operational temperatures. Ask yourself why does the ECM do just fine bolted to the block without any cooling system at all? As for the VP44 the biggest factor is to have at least 14 PSI of fuel pressure. Just after startup the fuel will pull the VP44 temp down rapidly and back to operational range. Like My VP44 is over 12 years old and over 200k miles and heading to 300k miles. I have summer heat of 117*F like 2 year ago and no ill effects to operation of the VP44. The other factor is AC noise levels of the alternator. The higher the AC noise levels the more heat is produced by the VP44 PSG. So if you have good clean power from the alternator (10 to 30mV AC) then you should be creating much heat from the VP44 PSG unit. So the fuel system should be able to cool it rather easy.

New heat pump system
First night. The bedrooms were set at 70*F in the master bedroom and 68*F in my bedroom. Very comfortable to sleep last night. I left the kitchen unit set to 72*F where the living room is a bit cooler this morning where it fell to 67*F during the night.

Aux switches
I've got 3 rocker switches in my overhead console where the trip computer would of been.

Fan Clutch
No. Typically the oil will be thick in the clutch so it will be stiff till the RPMs spin the oil outwards. So the try before you buy won't work.
