The ol' Cummins bear hug to change the return line seals. Yes removing the valve cover works just a we bit better being you will have a bit more room to reach down with big paws. Sad to say I've got big hands and some thing just are hell for me to do but I still do them.

I love going to dry camping places if possible. Prices for renting a piece of dirt and a little power is ridiculous. I'm already solar powered just need two new house batteries. Like the last place @Honey Badger and I went and camped was in the middle of nowhere, no fees, dry camping and we did just fine.

Today the family went out to Red Ridge near McCall and were shooting our firearms. AR's, AK's, 50 cal rifle, etc. I even pulled out my Fire Star did rather well with my 9mm. Cold out, little snow but not bad at all. Had a camp fire, food and friends and family enjoying our time together. Of course I had Beast out there and played a little bit in the snow. The truck is still a muddy mess on the body.

Thanks for the review. Thanks @Genos Garage for supplying the members here.

Oregon is just a 2 hour ride away for me. I can be in Ontario OR pretty quick. Let me know I might consider that next spring.

Myself, been busy between working on the server here, trying to get the new store set up. Then my girlfriend @Honey Badger has a family reunion going on tonight we're she has both son here at the house. Tomorrow is birthday party for her youngest here. We will have all the family here at 5pm for a dinner and cake.

I'm still running a stock exhaust manifold with stock HX35W turbo (54/60/12) with 150 HP DAP injectors (7 x 0.010) popped at 320 bar. No flow issues, no EGT issues either. My normal cruising EGTs are about 550°F at 65 MPH @ 1,975 RPMs. Engine oil temp is even low at 158°F to 165°F, Beast, doesn't create heat anywhere. I do not see the need for manifolds either intake or exhaust maybe up past 600 HP I would consider maybe thinking of it. But right at 500 HP Nope. I've towed my RV from Idaho to the mountains of California, no heat issues. Then been on a road trip to Seattle WA. That trip cleared 300 miles just a quarter tank getting to the Idaho state line. Flow isn't the issue, bigger issue is proper setup and tuning goes much farther than throwing a bunch of parts trying to fix heat issues.

Common Sense is no longer common, it's rather rare.

1,100°F is best. 1,200 to 1,250°F is OK but your coolant temp will rise. Still exceptable but gotta keep an eye on coolant temps. Now I can push past on wiretap levels for extra power. But limit to just seconds, on a quick pass.

Sad part is the motors usually hold up but the plastic gears dont.

Corrrect. The high idle has to be turned on by either dealer or Smart S-03 programmer. The high idle switch just gives control of the high idle.

No real gains for intake mods unless your making big HP. Even with nearly everything stock I've managed to reduce EGTs super low. Even with stock HX35W turbo and 150 HP injectors. You'll get more results out of proper final ratio and good timing.

Problem is that 82% of user are on Smart Phones. The darker theme is less draining on batteries and better visual effect on a smart phone. There is only 16% of members using a desktop computer so I've got to lean towards the direction of the majority of users. Then as for that 82% of mobile users 62% are iPhone users which tend to eat battery power more so that like my Samsung (which is only 1%) of the pool. Yeah I've got to look toward what is used more so that what I personally like... So trying to design around majority of members and what they use.

I've seen down to as low as -30*F here in Idaho during the last 5 years of MoparMom life while I was doing the dialysis runs back in forth in the winters. No issues with running or starting. Typically the coldest spot is New Meadows, ID.

Might want to add them to the vendors directory.

Kind of like looking at water it will freeze solid at 32°F but now if you add salt to the water the freeze point will fall depending on the amount of salt. Same with diesel fuel what I get is roughly around -20°F so if your adding 2 cycle oil with a pour point of -50°F it should start to pull the pour point down depending on the mixture ratio your using.

Yeah I'm going to release a update to my Econo tune soon. I'm trying to get some test data but it tough with the change of season and change of winterized diesel in the valley.

Snowmobile 2 Cycle Oil typically has a pour point of -50°F will hold gelling back too. I don't use any cetane boosters, or anti-gel products at all.

Gear case is just grey silicone. Your going to need a front crank seal. I've done several gear case reseal, grey silicone works really well and normally last quite a while.

The old theme is still up and loaded yet. Just go to the bottom of any page and click on THEME and it will allow the old Mopar theme.

Exactly correct... Yeah it can build up and mess up the spray pattern of the injectors. This is why I did all the study and work for you all to educate you to better ways of keeping your truck running at its best.

Sadly I can't help. I've never worked on a limited slip rear end. Really common for standard open diffs out here.

In a nutshell yes.

This is just a quickie fix for a customer that came to me asking if I could fix there A/C & heat the blower would randomly work or not work. Yeah I started at the wrong end testing the TIPM first which I found out everything was working properly. Then I moved to the blower motor itself. After removing the blower motor from the HVAC case then everything made sense. Check out the Quick TikTok. As you now see that TikTok videos are now rendered properly on the website software. There will be more of these in the future.

Well this theme is a purchased theme has been coded by a group called IPSFocus. Now there are a few features you can find a a member, just on the desktop it looks like a slider switch in the upper right corner near your name. On mobile is next to the 3 bar icon on the left. Now this will allow you to select different banners that scroll by. Currently I made on for from Beast Photos but in needs to be about 1,500 to 2,000 px long to fill wide screens properly and no higher than 240 px. I've got the ability to have 10 different banners scrolling by. Could be random or member selected. Yes I've got a Halloween, Christmas, Nears, and few other visual features. Nice part for me finally I don't have to hand code all the extras in this is all handled by IPSFocus. I might be really close to getting the store back open very soon. Be patient I've got to make a few phone calls and talk to another software company about set up and see if I can get the functions I require. I really would hate to set up 2 new apps on the server to find out that its still doesn't work. I know there are people asking about high idle kits, the risk is way too high, being its nearly 100% price jump in cables now meaning they would be closer to $300 a unit. I'm just not willing to make a $7,000 gamble that I might sell a few units at $300 a shot. There is other features brought into the software which I'll be setting up. I'm also going to show how to properly use the Garage area so you get the most bang for your effort. You'll notice a Elite Articles now shows up but empty. This is going to be the new Article Database for Member Only. Now I know that if I only make articles in the Elite side only Google will not find them. This means I have to produce a simple article on the old database, that point to complete article on the members only side. Yeah this will take more effort to produce being the members side is easy I don't have to worry about search engine SEO but just quality of info. The Free side has to have the SEO but not all the info to do the job that points back to Elite side. I've had so many folks tell me I'm very knowledgeable but I just can't afford to keep giving away my knowledge and skills for nothing. Hence the changes in the website.
