  1. True... I do have the Edge on 5x3 be at least I can turn it down in slick conditions so I can gain control on slick ground like ice or mud. Where a large injectors there is no way to turn them back down. So if I set 1x1 I would be under fuelled being sublevel 1 is only 33% of stock fuel till 20 PSI of boost. So I have a wider range of control this over large injectors. Neat part is I have the same amount of power.
  2. Could you give me a call some time so we can do some bench testing between us? Number in my signature...
  3. I'm running a small +50 HP Injector from Vulcan Performance. Very, Very clean. Extremely good power tires do break loose in 4th (ask JAG1 about it). Extremely good MPG always in the 20's running empty and easy 12-14 MPG towing 8,000 pound 31 foot RV. Even get 16 MPG hauling 7,000 pounds of firewood.

  6. There is a science to the fire fighting in the canyon. There is times when fires occur the local creek are nearly dried up. We will typically page out a second tone for assistance from other local cities and start shuttling water from the main river to the fire. Porta-ponds or fold-a-tanks are used quite a bit. Structure fire are not as common here till lately. But grass fires and vehicle fire tend to be more common place. As for us and foam we are not a big pusher of foam. We've lost a lot of equipment from improper use and clean up of foam. We are always fixing rotting plumbing parts and damage pump parts from foam being used. So majority of the fires we have we stick to water mainly. Even though foam requires less water but does more damage to pump plumbing. Only one fire station has water. The other 5 stations don't even have running water. Just a shed and power. So proper clean up of the equipment is rather hard and most just want to get the truck back to quarters and go back to bed and get sleep or get back to work at their jobs.
  7. Even though the federal laws state the limit and even local laws state the limits on tint... You can still tint your glass in your truck to a comfortable level and not be pestered by the law enforcement. Just simple and don't do foolish thing like speeding and call attention to yourself and they will most likely not mess with your tinted windows. As of right now my 02 Dodge is illegal and has been for years because side windows should be 25% or less tint. I'm at 20% and the rear windows are at 5%. I've been pulled over but never sited for a tint issue.
  8. In my little community I'm watching so many family torn apart, marriages failing from alcohol, drug use, etc. You wish you can help these people but there isn't much you can do but offer up a prayer and hope that it come to solution. All them I'm coming in contact with usually has one abusive natured person and this can be either male of female. What few people there in this group could you offer a prayer to these people to find there way. Just sad to see such things even a member here on the site is having issues as well.
  9. I was just informed of this tidbit of information about Salmon River Rural Fire Department. I was listening to the Fire Chief talk about ground we cover. We cover 67 miles of the canyon floor plus 12 miles on either side of the main highway. Then you have to cover all the side roads leading away from the main highway and 12 miles of either side of that road. So, Salmon River Rural is the biggest fire department for coverage in the state of Idaho. Then we rank 5thin the nation for size of district. We have 6 fire station scattered along the canyon from Pinehurst Station #1, White Water Wilderness Ranch #2, Rapid River #3, Lucile #4, Slate Creek #5, White Bird #6. Each station house has two trucks some are water tenders, structure engines or fast attacks / wildland. What is really scary about all this we only have 1 fire hydrant in the entire district. Now consider the skills it takes to organize and keep water coming to fire fighters be it you are pumping water from a creek or river then truck it back to the scene.
  10. Summer is about here... Time to look into a few things... Cooling system flushing New thermostat Power washing the radiators and coolers out New fan belt Check the freon pressures in your air conditioning Check the radiator hoses Check the idler pulley bearings including the fan Inspect the fan clutch for leaking oil Time to check over the truck and prepare for a nice hot summer. So don't neglect your truck take the time and inspect these different areas to be sure you have a enjoyable summer either towing, RV'ing, or just making back and forth to work.
  11. All I can say is pull them off and bench test them on a battery see if they spin before you leave the yard. But the electric motors or the switch will fail on those typically.
  12. Beyond that I don't have a answer... I don't know of any replacement bearings... Might be one in the top but unknown if you can get it out or replaced.
  13. I gone down that road already. Replaced everything else once but came down to replacing the compressor and now I have leak free system.
  14. If I'm not mistaken the temp sensor is near governor sensor so it's in the pan and trans temp light cones at 290 or so.
  15. How about this? http://www.rocksolidramtrucksteering.com/
  16. Do keep in mind DOR has a very long wait for products. So be sure to measure and get things in order before ordering. Expect 6 month or longer sometimes for parts. Let's see a picture of the truck...
  17. What has to occur is the fuel sprayed in a fine mist that the compression heat can covert from liquid to vapor to go BOOM! so yes spray pattern and quality has a bit to do withi it. Another one that can impact the MPG's is valve lash and compression. If the rings are getting weak and excessive blow by starts occuring then power is lost around the rings. Valve lash could do the same thing too being valves will open later typically because of wear of the valvetrain parts. I know you have low mileage on this but I'm now listing all the different things I can think off.
  18. Rebuilt? So the nozzles what was the quality of the spray? So did the nozzles and pintles get changed in the rebuild? Just because the change a shim on the spring doesn't change the spray quality replacment of the nozzle and pintle will. So you can see how little there is to the injectors. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-12v-dodge-cummins/15-how-to-clean-your-injectors
  19. I still tend to look at the injectors. Being the spray pattern is poor then the atomized fuel will not burn clean. If the pop pressure is low then the spray isn't as fine and the timing ends up being advanced. I would see if you can hook up with a 12V owner here and see if you can swap injectors with some for testing purpose.
  20. Might work better to place a classified ad and post pictures. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/index.php?/classifieds/
  21. That's the thing get a ECM from a like model truck and the test will work just fine but get a different model then you end up with errors for cam sensor possibly.
  22. Still in all like I told my neighbor if it doesn't re-activate they will replace it for FREE. So it doesn't matter. Yeah we still got a Radio Shack up here its the local cell store.
  23. (10 years ago roughly) Well I got to a story to tell. About 10 years ago I was over a friend house. He was digging through a drawer in the kitchen looking for something and he spun around... "Hey you need a cell phone take this one." At the time I wasn't a big cell phone fan but for free why not? So I grabbed the cell phone and charger cord. In the next few days I go out and bought some time for it and tried to active the phone. Come to find out it can't be done. So I called TracFone and they told me the phone was too old and would have to be replaced for FREE. Wow! So I gladly boxed up the old phone and mailed it back to TracFone and within about 2 weeks go my new cell phone. It was a nice LG phone and served me well for over 10 year now. In the last year or so I upgrade to a new LG phone again. (Yesterday) My neighbor comes over as always bringing my mail up from the mailbox. He start telling about buying a cell phone and it was a Jitterbug. How he spent $100 on the phone and within hours got charged a activation fees as well to he credit card. Not to mention spending over 2 hours in New Meadows, ID trying to activate something that does not work on our cell towers. So I told him about my cheap $29 LG TracFone and suggest he just make a run to the local Radio Shack in McCall, ID. Well I parted way with him and.... Thought a second... That right that old LG TracFone is in my desk drawer. So I whistle to him... Hang on a second. I ran into the house and and grab the phone, the house charger and the car charger. I handed it over to him and he was shocked. "What do I owe you for this?" I told him, "Nothing. I just paying it forward. I never paid for the first one so I can't charge you for this..."
  24. Come on guys and gals I see all these new people registering post your pics...
