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.

I'm not a fan of T-bred. I've had several members that bought VP44s from them and get hung up on warranty issues and fight to get resolution or find out that they voided the warranty for whatever reason. I can say for sure where they get pumps from and if they actually did hit a test stand for the 3 hour test and calibration. There is still VP44 that are sold as reman'ed and have used PSG units on top and have not been changed.

Yup. I've cleaned one up getting all the graphite grease out of the tone wheels and replaced another because is was packed full of graphite grease. (Both bearings). ABS lights went out after replacement. Remember the sensor is looking for tone wheel to count pulses bur as the graphite builds the pulses change and error between sensors build up... poof ABS light is set.

Be aware when the graphite levels build up in the grease it will trip a ABS light that will not go away till the bearing is replaced. Being there is no way to clean it out nor repack properly all you can do is replace.

Less than 1 inch last night not even enough to worry about.

Maybe reconsider how many jet are in flight right now. This is look down around AZ. Then over by Washington DC

Hey gang, Time to put your little 2WD cars and get your 4WD trucks out. Already just had a 2 car slide off just south of home. Then everyone is driving super slow. Huge pile up of traffic and slow vehicles are not pulling off. Hate to admit but had to pass 5 vehicles traveling 30 MPH in less than a inch of snow. Kept trucking along at 45 to 55 MPH.

CO2 isn't any issue. Being any forest fire up here produces CO2 way more than any diesel vehicle in its life time. How about 747 Boeing it holds 63,xxx gallons of JET-A burning at of 5 gallons of JET-A fuel for every ONE MILE of air flight. Now let's look at how many jets are in the air and how much more CO2 the produce of diesel vehicles. How about fright ships, burning thousands of gallons to transport goods from China to the US.

@JAG1 here you go showing that small generators are not enough. It will charge but the generator has to run 24/7. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRCrQtTT/

All I'm saying is the Govt should not force us to buy EVs currently. Then Govt shouldn't force to pay high fuel prices which is causing the inflation. Kick Biden out and ditch the forced idea of a green new deal. Heck it's 6.479 for diesel here.
