Heck just being in the mountain of Idaho and completely stock truck with no mods you can melt something really easy pulling heavy loads. That was one of the first things I learned after installing gauges in my truck going over 7% grades at normal highway speed it very possible to exceed 1,400*F worth of pyrometer just hauling a heavy trailer.

Again you shouldn't. Because you not a vendor nor are you staff of M73M. Lets say the eyes are heavily watching me right now and I don't dare even say anything about High Idle over there. It would be what would get me banned for sure. I've already been warned once already.

Yes as standard users you can but none of my staff member should be public talking about the high idle switch really. It too risky if CF staff member realize or another vendor reports them they could be warned or banned for vending without paying CF fees. Since you not a vendor nor a staff member of M73M you are fine.

Count the beats. Typically I'll do 3 beats and stop. Check the measurement.

You will get banned... You stealing vendors sales from the site or vending without paying $400 a month fees... (Not a typo).

Contact in the relay do over time get pitted like starter contacts and eventually arc weld together or arc pit so bad that they no longer make a good connection. So investing few bucks into a fresh relay is "cheap" testing.

Just ordered a test cap for the rail and a fuel pressure test gauge (low pressure side). I've got my OBDLink for the high pressure side. So as soon those tools come I can continue testing.

Here is a vid on the calipers...

The one on the right looks like something out of MadMax...

Lets say losing 1 manifold bolt is enough to drop my truck from 35 PSI to barely 8 PSI and EGT's sky rocketing instantly. So if you have several small weeping leaks it could add up.

Because the timing is already over advanced in cold weather hence the excessive rattling. So if you retard the timing the rattling stopped and get a very quiet smooth running engine. Also timing just moves the torque curve forward in RPM. So too much advancement means the engine struggles to pull it self along in cold weather just after starting. So if you retard timing it brings the torque curve back down lower in RPM and allows the engine to build power much easier. Hence the gains...

Boost leaks Intake manifold gasket Grid heater gaskets MAP sensor o-ring IAT sensor o-ring Turbo elbow o-ring & clamp. Missing manifold bolt(s) Hole/cut in a boot Hole or crack in the intercooler Now you also got to look for drive pressure leaks too. Basically look for soot tracks along the exhaust manifold. Also look for cracks in the manifold. If you lose drive pressure you'll lose boost pressure. Also I typically pressurize the system and spray everything with soap solution and look for bubbles. Some times you can just hear the leak hissing away.

Today is the first snow seen from my windows. Night time low of 39*F and a day time high of 45*F. Winter is coming... YAH!

Cold start it typical to see some white smoke. Just means the cylinder temp is too low for complete combustion of the fuel. My questions are... Do you see this when completely warmed up? What is your temperature when fully warmed up? Is it above or below the 190*F mark?

That's why the the vehicle is grounded through the ground pin of the of the block heater cord. As long no positive side circuit came in contact with the hot side of the cord it would be pretty hard pressed to complete a 110 VAC circuit into the DC side. Kind of like my solar system here on the house there is a fine line between 110 VAC of the house and the 24VDC of the batteries and the only thing shared in the ground.

Back in 2006 when I bought my AirDog 150 the Drawstraw V was not even a option. Of course I took my time and installed it right and never had a single issue with the old school straw. I've been down to the empty mark a few times. I've drained my tank a few times and there is less than a quart of fuel left.

Yes a bed lift and installing a straw give the best results only if the tank is EMPTY. This way you see the tank at its smallest size. Then when you fill the tank the weight of the fuel will pull the tank bottom down and away from the straw. This is why I cut the straw tight to the bottom so as the fuel is running out the tank bottom rises to the tip of the straw getting more out. So this why I like dropping the tank and resting it on the edge of 2x4 lumber at the band points. You can work really easy and can clean up your drill shaving in the tank.

Like Me78569 said it just adjust the IAT sensor input to the ECM and the module just uses the same data as well to calculate fuel and timing needs.

I've got a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500. There is no error codes presently and rail pressure is a max of roughly 5,000 psi and at idle its start to surge dropping as low as 1,900 PSI on the rail. I know this is not enough rail pressure at all for normal operation. I've changed the FCA without any change in pressure or operation. Where to go next?

Cold start it actually retarding timing because on MPG mode there is no timing rattle. Where without MPG mode it sound like a mechanic with BFH trying to beat his way out.

Kind of like myself I just had a meeting with the owner of the 1995 Dodge here in the tyard. I went and meet him at his home in New Meadows. After liking over the work and test driving I've been given a free rein on this truck. His goals is to have a safe, functional work truck that is presentable to a customer. All my hard work has landed me into more work than I know what to do with. There is no issues with me picking out parts or my design ideas. So here I am jumping in the same basket like you guys. Working the web site, local jobs, and taking care of the home front...

Personally from my stand point I understand why police officers are trained to react quickly. In the same sense they have to remember where they are at and who they are dealing with. In this case to me (personal opinion) the training kicked in and the officers reacted as trained and returned fire from where the initial fire came from. Again if the officers where more relaxed then this might not of happened. Also is the same sense if they are too relaxed a criminal might get the jump on them. I've seen several younger officers that act very strange. Thinking everything is a bomb or a booby-trap. Like an example a kid left his jacket on the library return box outside the library. The officer took a stance of protection over a kid jacket. Really? But that what they are being taught...

I found a video long ago that a get hooked a pressure gauge to the heater hose and it would top out at 30-40 PSI of pump pressure. I can't seem to find the video now.

I now the block heater cord on my 2002 Dodge is shot and open current. As for my 96 Dodge the element in the block is open and no functional.

What happen that I was told of tonight. There was a vehicle accident vs. Bull. Now the bull was getting aggressive and attempting to get at working crews. So the deputies attempted to shot the bull to put it down since it had broken legs. The farmer went back to get his rifle to put the bull down. When the rancher pull the rifle out it case it discharged for some reason and the two deputies spun and shot the rancher. The wife came out to find out what the shooting was a about and the deputies jumped the wife not knowing who she was come running out the dark. I guess she had a heart attack on the spot when she found out her husband was shot. (Disclaimer: This is all here-say posted above past on to me by other locals.)
