Your going to spin balance the tires anyways... Not going to make a huge difference.

Problem I see is that there isn't anything that I want to vote for any more. "What's the worse of the two evils?" Answer is they are all evil and don't give a darn. Like even my local government here. I know personally a few of the government officials here in the state. I've seen exactly what happens to a man (or family) after a person is elected into office. No names but I got one up here in my area that I use to work for taking care of their computer and business needs. But he went into office and now he got this arrogance about him as he looks over the end of his nose at you. Not the same man or family any more. He gets his nice salary and doesn't have to do very much if he doesn't want too. Something about Greed and Power corrupts men really fast no matter how good he sounds I'm sure money is involved and his plans will be altered. Kind of like another tidbit I heard of lately. USFS has been closing roads for decades now up here. I finally heard why. The Gov't pays USFS to maintain roads through the state. USFS figured out that if we just close up all the roads and not list that it is closed we can continue to collect the road maintenance funds. Like on the fire they opened up a bunch of old roads to access the fire then they will spend even more money to destroy the very same roads more so to make sure they are never used. Worst part is I'm paying for this crap!

Open invitation if you want to call me we can have a nice long chat about things...

We need our tax dollars going to the people that ABSOLUTELY need it. Not giving free health care to every foreign person that makes it across the border. How about me I'm a working stiff that has to pay through the nose for any kind of health care. But heck if I was a illegal alien from south of the border and make it to the US no problem free health care. I watch all the low life's around me looking for hand outs. Heck unemployment is pretty bad in the Adams, County. I know there is a lot of people on welfare and assistance. For what? Too lazy to get off there big tail end and go to work for a living! Worried more about keeping that damn satellite TV bill paid and food in the fridge. These folks need to be cut off from assistance. Now I know there are some people need help but there are some people that are pure leeches!

The national debit is not my problem. I pay my taxes every year. As for keeping a budget I do that every month and ensure all my bills are paid. If that means I've got to make personal cut back to live within my budget I'll do exactly that. Why is it that these dirt rotten Gov't officials get to write on blank checks without consideration of the budget? Same reason why I say it not my fault because I don't live outside my means and don't require a Gov't Hand Out. (No welfare, gov't assistance, social security, etc.) The problem is these Gov't people need to start living like the rest of the human race and quit spending money they don't have. (Stepping down off my soap box!)

Like mine is roughly +40*F over outside temp normally. Yes hot summer it will dip down like yours to a milder +25*F to 30*F difference.

This was proven by ISX awhile back that heat and no heat shield will not change EGT's nor IAT temps. It completely up to the intercooler for that job. Because even a 20*F difference under the hood is going to change a output temp of the turbo at full boost running 400-450*F into the intercooler. Also ISX proved that under hood temps are typically right close to outside temp about 2-5*F higher typically at highway speeds (Above 35 MPH). But like I say optimal IAT is 100-140*F for MPG's reasons...

I think the video is funny... But I really hate the idea of pushing the p7100 as a fix to every single problem. I think P7100 has it place in the world but not everyone needs to convert to a P-pumped 24V to make his truck run. I've got another gent that contacted me that is attempting this and made more problems than he's curing. Try to cut corners and fab everything at home. When he told me he converted for $250 bucks I knew it wasn't done right. Remember there is guys like myself I'm at 201k on the VP44 pump then 251k on the truck and its 11 years old now and still going strong.

Is it the single knob series? It appears that you got a short to ground which will throw lo volt codes for both. Double check your wiring and make sure nothing is cut on sharp metal or pinched. I can attempt to do repairs on it if you send it to me.

Time to come back to planet earth. If your running a stockish truck there is no reason to buy top notch offroad suspension parts. Especially if your a pavement queen. Even with my high amount of off pavement use I still would never even suggest or buy something like that.

I think you have bearing failure of the carrier. The tone ring should be center of the hole. I imagine there was a lot of metal in the lube when you dump it out right? You'll have to pull both axle shafts and then you can check carrier bearing play. I'm going to bet money the bearings are lose.

I would see about getting information on the pump and if there is a disassembly and cleaning you can do plus lubrication.

OMG...

Delphi, Exide and Johnson Controls. These are the 3 companies that manufacture all brand names of vehicle batteries.

So far the WalMart's are still holding up. As for NAPA they also do very well too. Personally the one I see fail more often is Interstate. Mostly that's what sold at the local stores here and people abuse the batteries by driving across town (Less than 1 mile) then shut down the vehicle. Not even enough time to charge up from the time time it was started.

Same principal as air conditioning there is high pressure on one side of the orifice and then the pressure is reduced on the other side and you get cold. But the problem is the pressure side will remain hot which is the VP44 its the return line that is getting cooler. The thing is if you install a fuel cooler I would do it on the return line which is the hottest fuel from the engine (injector return and VP44). At least then it would cool the fuel tank. The big problem is being able to disable the cooler come winter time. It would sure suck to have a cooler that helps gell up your fuel tank.

Personally if it was me... I would pull the entire air system down and clean all the tubing, intercooler, and turbo up. Then while its apart you'll be able to tell what is going on. Is it just over oiled K&N filter or is the turbo seals shot? You'll know when you pull the tubing out to clean it. If the seals are leaking oil you'll have oil all the way through the system to the manifold. It would be a wise move to remove all the dust from the system.

Back to my original comment about AC noise creating heat with in the circuits. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/index.php?/topic/10383-helpknow-just-enough-to-be-dangerous-and-having-problems/#entry117004

I would pour a bit of paint stripper in the plugged up areas and work with it. I would be careful some paint strippers can and will damage rubber o-rings.

Problem is the front seal will fail long before you reach that. This is why I don't look at fuel temp or flow issues. Again why do people like me go through extremes both hot and cold and now got 11 years of summers (117*F max this year) and winters (-25*F last winter) no issues.

Just remember there is only 3 companies producing all the batteries. So name brand is meaningless for the most part. Make sure that it fits the vehicle CCA and size wise. After that make sure it fits your budget and somewhere you capable of dealing with for warranty work. Like myself I got WalMart batteries and can get to Walmart anywhere to replace them. As for doing group 31's it not required so folks believe its a much better set up but the batteries are physically larger than the tray. The extra CCA is pretty minimal. Bare minimum requirement is 750 CCA batteries so anything above that is a bonus. I can say my 820 CCA's are doing just fine in minus weather. There is other things that will make batteries perform better like good solid cables that are not corroded in the center of the copper. Good clean terminals without any lead oxide (black hard coating). I tend to favor lead acid batteries because I can clear 10 years of service with everything from truck/car batteries, to ATV's, motorcycles, and lawn mowers. As long as the battery is topped off with distilled water and charged properly and put away charged then the vehicle will start every morning no problem for better than a decade.

Agreed... That won't change a thing being the port from the VP44 is very small so increasing the line size does absolutely nothing. Return port is on the left... I did a video long ago and the return flow rate does not improve with pressure. Only once it reaches 14 PSI its fairly steady from that point on.

Another wonderfully dusted engine caused from K&N filters... I can't answer for the K&N tube and box. But a stock tube and a piece of 4" exhaust pipe inside the neck of the BHAF will give support. I would follow the advise above. As for the tube it might be better to get a old stock tube if need be.

I know this is kind of indirect but... Like my 3 weeks of working this fires around me I got a good clear look at how Gov't works versus local communities. There is a absolute rift between Gov't and local folks and it never goes away. This is because "Gov't is trained and knowledgeable" for said subject (fire fighting) so local information is meaningless because we have Gov't agencies that take care of everything (weather information, mapping, etc.). But when it all comes down the locals knew more about weather, how to fight the fire, roads and trails, etc. Same holds true for other cities or towns there is too much Gov't involvement in our daily life and Federal Gov't needs to go on a huge diet and budget cut. I mean huge!

"Not I", said the fly...
