Pray for snow because that is the only thing that will stop this fire...

I'm alive yet. The fire has now cross the Big Salmon River and still heading north burned about 5-10 acres north of the river. They might get it stopped there but its still spreading east and west yet. Looking at Inciweb they are way behind on updating the fire map and size it much much bigger that they are reporting.

To early in the day when you were up. Later in the afternoon it cleared up really good.

I typically pull about 25-27 inHg with my pump which is fine. I would just run the vacuum pump longer to draw the moisture out. Then shut it all down and leave the gauges on and check for leaks. It should hold vacuum over 12 hours without change. As for compressor oil I typically call the NAPA store and have them look it up for the vehicle. But I know my 2002 takes PAG 100 oil and it a holds of 7.1 ounces of oil to the compressor. So just pull the drain plug and drain out and reload. Just like a oil change.

I'll have to dig through some books to find it.

Straight down. I'm right up behind the house on a old logging road. So if I bailed off on foot and went straight down I would land most likely in the neighbors yard but really close to home. That is why I ran that direction to get a feel for time and movement. I've also went to Riggins, ID tonight for a meeting. Basically in a nutshell it made it to the Salmon River just east of Riggins, ID. USFS is already Evacuating people out of the Salmon River area and I'm just waiting for the tones or phone call to head out again. It was made fairly clear the only way this fire is going out is when winter snow gets here. This was shot at Riggins, ID as I left the meeting.

Smoke cleared and I made a ride up the mountain to a better look out spot. Not good it north of my house now and spreading west and east now. I've been informed that Big Salmon River Road from Riggins to French Creek is in now a Stage 2 Evac.

I just paid $13 for a Napa Gold.

You would trip a error... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/59-obdii-error-codes-cummins/155-p0168-decreased-engine-performance-due-to-high-injection-pump-fuel-temperature So far I've only seen one case reported in a very long time.

I'm curious too...

As for me I'm a bit concerned and going to do some ATV riding today to get more information even if I got to ride all the way to Seven Devils lookout.

I'm just waiting for the page tones to go off. Then its off to the races...

Things just got worse. Stage 1 Evacuation notice has been give from Elk Lake Road to Riggins and up the Big Salmon to French Creek. The fire today made a good move to the north and past me now. I've had a visit from Adams County Sheriff informing me of the fire evacuation orders. I'm not sure how big the fire is today being that Inciweb is not updating the map today. https://www.google.com/maps/@45.2489236,-116.1499921,28283m/data=!3m1!1e3

Just done a delete locally and it turned out awesome. Big improvement in power. I've got to talk to the owner and see what the MPG's are like now.

Here is the timing piston out the VP44. That piston is harden steel I know it takes a lot to scar it up like that. Which would create the p0216 code.

I'm at roughly 400 hp / 900 tq and tow and haul heavy no issues with a single disc. There is no real reason I can see for daily drive to need a dual unless he's got huge tires and high horse power like 500 or more...

I'm going to say more than likely its a injection pump problem but run the diagnostic articles and see where it leads you. It still possible the cam sensor is the problem but with the p0126 code I would say the Vp44 is getting tired. I'll take it off your hands first before you burn it.

Still no matter what is lower in BTU content... Not by much but petroleum diesel is the top of the BTU list and petroluem gasoline is top of the gasoline BTU list.

I couldn't do that from my tablet... As for the APPS reset... (Bottom of the page) http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/26-engine-systems/35-apps-sensor-replacement-procedure

Remember P0216 is a wear code from poor lubricity or a pressure code from poor fuel pressure. 24 PSI is a bit to high shouldn't cause any issues but it can. Lack of lubricity can play hell on the timing piston.

All equipment has been put back in station and the site is cleared. We are now all back home! Yeah! My first beer in awhile...

I'm using a Southbend Con OFE clutch doing excellent for towing heavy trailers and loads. No issues here. Drives like stock clutch.

Time too look at the article for p1690 and do bit of diagnostic work. It could be a simple crank/cam sensor problem.

Dont quote me but I think it's 1" socket.
