  1. Sorry but no... She will be in ICU for awhile yet till the infection and kidney issues are resolved.
  2. Grabbed my fuel log book and this tank again was all trailer towing some of it was bit hard and heavy (understandable). I turned out 11.21 MPG and my OBDLink showing 11.00 MPG so my calibration is nearly prefect yet. I'm using volumetric effiency of 77.5% which is 14.5% offset from factory 63%. So OBDLink is good enough for data logging for MPG Data.
  3. I'm back over at the RV getting breakfast and quick nap. Still kind of short on energy after all the running. MoparMom is doing good for now. I've got a friend that will meet me at the RV later this morning.
  4. She is doing better this morning. I'm with her right now.
  5. Thank you all. So far she is stable but sedated for the night. As far as I know it's a bad UTI problem. She got a good dose of antibiotics. I'll find more in the morning when I hike over. Too tired to stumble over now. I've stayed in contact with the doctors. She is stable still.
  6. Thank you AH64ID I've managed to get to Weiser, Idaho got meal and attempting to get a little rack time. To tired to drive. As for MoparMom they do know it's an infection that is the cause for sure.
  7. I'm at home with the RV hitched up I just gotta drive the 180 miles to Boise to get to Mom at the Hospital. I've been working with the neighbors attempting to get key in the right hands. Make matter worse the guest house lost a water valve which cracked open and was spraying water like a mist all night. The carpet is soaked in the bedroom part of the house. Got my laundry done so I got clothes now and trying to get the RV packed up. Food, water, tanks dumped, etc.
  8. I'm emotional train wreck right now attempting to just handle get a plan of action to get the RV down to Boise right now. Still need to lay down get more than 2 hours sleep. Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes...
  9. She has been sent to Boise Hospital last night and she is in ICU right now. Stable, but in bad shape. I'm operating on limited amount of sleep and trying to get a action plan put together. Plenty of phone calls to make and lots to take care of.
  10. I just brought @moparmom to the hospital Unknown issues and being flown to boise tonight. Please everyone prayer for her recovery.
  11. I've been looking for good quality diodes like what Nations Alternators sells. Hoping to find high quality replacements.
  12. Might be some truth in that above post but even straight diesel fuel can do the very same then because of the increased air flow of the 24V head design. Really easy to gunk up the injectors putting around town without fully warming up the engine.
  13. Like I told @hex0rz to get an independent shop to test the injectors just to verify the that they are damaged in some way. This will just either double prove what DAP has to say or protECT him.
  14. Last tank hand calced is 11.5 MPG. OBDLink is close to that number as well at the time of fill. Mostly towing the RV around on that tank. 243 miles / 21.119 gallons = 11.50 MPG.
  15. @TFaoro the only thing I could suggest is pop test the injectors.
  16. ...but remember his morning hard start issue. Now that's a nozzle issue. Also now he's got my injectors there is no growing oil nor hard starts.
  17. The only thing you need to do is open up the driver side door and pull the IOD fuse out of the socket. That's it. This disconnects the battery from the truck. Don't need to jack up the axles. Tire will hold up to a full winter of sitting. Be just a bit rough on initial startup but after few miles of warming up the rubber they come right back. Think about it my RV stands on the tire months without moving and has zero impact of the life of tires. I just hitch up a roll. I weighs in at close to 8,000 pound just standing on the tires. Again no impact of long term standing. Don't need to add anything to the fuel. Diesel fuel doesn't degrade like gasoline. Like right now all Idaho fuels are already being started on winterized fuels. So no need for anti-gel being it already in the fuel. Also you don't plan on driving till next spring so you don't need the anti-gel anyways. The only thing I would do is change all the fluids in the spring of the year. If the vehicle is parked outside the condensation will occur in all the differentials, transfer case, etc. Where normal daily driving will warm the fluids up to vent the moisture off normally. Like my truck a couple of winters I've parked my truck because of high diesel prices and gasoline was way cheaper.
  18. Some of the roads I travel just getting to home sometimes get borderline to that. I've got several forestry roads I travel that are we'll beyond normal service and classifies up near the washed out category. As for suspension I think its just fine empty truck it will bounce you around rather well but in offroading empty I tend to soften my tires up more surface traction of the tire. Where when I'm doing offroad firewood harvesting I've just got to bare with the rough ride and then get loaded and walk back out slowly. Weight of a cord of firewood is typically enough to get me to sit down on the overload springs. This should classify close enough to your cab over camper you carrying just my center of gravity is much lower. Take notice to my tires (tread design) and the I'm running open diff's (no limited slip). No issues. I've been running H/T's and A/T's tires for a very long time. I've only owned 1 set of M/T's and sold them before I wore them out. I've got chains for traction aids but never used them. If you understand the weight of your axles you'll understand what you can do and can't do.
  19. Modified to 1-5 positions to 105%. No smoke really launching and driving normally. Since my last tank is a fill I can math out a number to verify. Also I got hired by "4 Elements Waterproofing". So I'll be driving back and forth to Homedale, ID to do a high school roof so I'll get plenty of time to check out the tune and how it does. I'll be doing rubber roof coating on a high school.
  20. Just in the quick tune I created for my truck I'm back to 22 MPG (Uncalibrated) on the OBDLink. So far this is the best number so far I've seen from the Quadzilla. Like on my way home tonight from work I passed one semi-truck and it pulled like a scalded ape. Excellent power. As of the OBDLink it a rule of thumb for now till I can get through the calibration process.
  21. I'm going to twist the map up. I'm going to try running the low end of the map high as possible. Then the upper end of the map for acceleration build the tune that is smoke free up across the boost. This way I can keep my fuel map at my cruise point nice and high for MPG purpose but acceleration when I'm higher in the map toned down. I'll play with this a bit today too.
  22. I would have to say that is more likely due to less rolling resistance and the rotational mass is maybe down just a few pounds per tire.
  23. I can say without doubt this man knows what he's doing. I watch him build my 46RE (96 Dodge 1500) in front of me within one day and do all the custom mods to the transmission that was possible. Then net result was exactly what I expected from his work. Very firm shifting transmission, works much better on steep roads, better hold back power coming down grades, and just works really well even towing trailers.
  24. Nothing much that needs to be done. I've been hauling heavy out of the woods for 14 years just in stock form with no issues as of yet. No air bags, no suspension changes and no steering issues either. The only mod was dropping the 265's tires and going to 235's.
  25. Mixed bag. Like I know the WAIT TO START lag is bad memory. Lift pump on coming on is a MOSFET failed. Sensors with all hi or lo volts could be a ground or 5V supply (regulator) issue. The big problem is after opening the case can you fold it back up tight and get it sealed up without water getting in the case?
