  1. 3 cylinder high idle runs on 4, 5, and 6. 1, 2, and 3 are dead. It fires every other in order. 1, 5, 3, 6, 2, 4 Inside injector lines is 3, 5, 6 Outside injectors lines 1, 2, 4
  2. Yesterday it got into the 70's outside temp. Still drops pretty cool at night like high 30's. Sometimes it can get breezy. Went on that ATV ride I had to pull off my Hoodie it was getting to hot later in the afternoon. Then sun start heading down you start bundling up again.
  3. Yeah it will be PG for sure. I've got a ton of photos on my cellphone even @Honey Badger has only seen a part of my photos. Today I took off with Beast and went for an ATV ride it was a short road but things to go look at.
  4. Last few tweaks if done do pretty good I could release this tonight and let you test it out too. I'm set for power above 10 PSI of boost. I'm not running any wire tap mostly level 3.
  5. Make me wonder with my 7x0.010 +150 HP injectors and running stock HX35W turbo with no issues. I can run level 3 and tow the RV and stay very controlled. I think people are upgrading turbos too soon and/or too big and don't either have the fuel or the turbo spools too late and bam high EGTs. After my head gasket adventure I've got a max boost on this stock turbo at 35 PSI. Spools very fast and runs cool, empty my 55 MPH is about 450°F. Heck just chasing @JAG1 to camp my RV is about 8100 pounds and a 700 pound ATV in the bed, figure about 18,000 pounds total weight. 7,xxx foot climb all the way here bare was busting a sweat at 1,000°F. Cally speed out here is 55 MPH. I will admit the coolant ran 195 to 197°F but oil temp floating 197 to 200°F, empty the oil drops back to 160 to 170°F. Even running the Interstate at 65 MPH was tipping only 800°F. Fully loaded, grade might bump 1,000°F. Sometime bigger isn't better. This is why I build in step one part a time. @Silverwolf2691 +50 HP you should back on a stock turbo, too big and not enough fuel. Shouldn,t upgrade till about 100 HP or 150 HP. Then down side it wire tap for me now i need what @Silverwolf2691 has for a turbo. Since I'm not in it for racing but efficiency don't really need it. Just consider the 3rd Gen which is a (60/60/9) turbo. Slightly larger but smaller turbine housing. Thor is tipping the scales at 9,000 pounds just truck. I've towed my RV back one time. Even that truck with +50 HP DAP injectors spools quick and EGTs are controlled. Thor has enough fuel to trip a P0234 code. What Beast has is just a stock (54/60/12), with the Hybrid is was (60/60/12) which I still like better more air and ran cooler.
  6. Towing to where I'm at in California I ran about 800°F at 65 MPH but with the RV and ATV in the truck bed roughly 17,500 pounds. My tow tune doesn't get above stock fuel till 10 PSI of boost. My economy tune does get above stock fuel till 15 PSI. Every below that is 100% or less. I place my power band up higher not down low you only make lots of EGTs because the boost is too low for making power. Fuel map need to built around your turbo more so.
  7. I paid $4.50 a gallon in Idaho. @JAG1 and took a bicycle ride and I manage to blow a bead and tube hanging out and shortly tube popped. Jag1 took care of the inner tube and we rode down to the general store and they had a tire in stock. So I get back @IBMobile is have heater issues. I gave him a had and lubed the blower motor and help reinstall the heater. All working good.
  8. The BoD are definitely out and on vacation too. I know quite a few of you are following this thread, I'll try my best to keep updating the thread with adventure. It really does bite when your first bottle always seem to run out a night. 1am getting bundled up quick run out hit the transfer switch and open the second bottle. Propane is bad here at $3.25 a gallon.
  9. Here you go gang... @IBMobile made it to camp. @JAG1 and took off on a bicycle ride down the road from camp head check out the local stores. Did a bit of exploring but it still cold and off and on snowing today. Hopefully tomorrow weather improves. I want to venture out on the bicycle and check out camp and the twin lakes. I brought my ATV but no ATVs allowed in camp so mine is staying loaded in the truck. I'll load up and go out to a forestry road and venture out that way too. Now I hope @IBMOBILE-JEN shows up too. Diesel price is $7.119 a gallon in California. Move the decimal right one position and that your 10 gallon price. $71.19 for 10 gallons.
  10. Well let me get my trip done and return home. My desktop computer has my spreadsheet that does most the math together. Then I'll need a ton of info so then we will burn some time on the phone getting it all dialed in.
  11. Ok. So if I could come remember it gotta be half and half. Half work and half experiencing the area. Furthest I've been east is Minnesota. That was in 1995 took @MoparMom back for a class reunion. So I'm game to travel do some work and getting experience your area. Are you willing...
  12. Good morning.... Too stoned and tired when I was typing. Yeah I'm cutting loose and not giving a damn and still don't this morning. As of last night it snowed slightly, cold and thankful I opted for full hook ups. Left the water trickle all night. I've got a section of water line outside the house which sucks but do what you gotta. Other than that Beast did really good climbing the canyon road getting here. We are like 6,000 feet up I'll check my GPS later on when the sun comes up more. Darn cold out. Wow 2,200 miles from home from me. Some better consider flying me out. Bad enough 5.699 for diesel. Here it like 7 something I look when I go past the shack later.
  13. Well I met up with @JAG1 there in Fernley NV. He led the train as both Cummins packing a load and crawl up here to Annett's Mono Village. It was fun just tag teaming down the highway. Just as we are entering the park it snowing! Yeah thanks @IBMobile for calling and telling me it's going to snow and drop to 15°F. I'm here tucked into a tight corner but manage to fit it in. I'll get photos tomorrow. Yeah I've got wifi but don't tell anyone. Gotta keep the post going. @JAG1 took me out to dinner. Both had steak dinners as the food it's good. Prices are good. After dinner JAG1 went back got a shower. I got the DVDs out and watched Coyote Ugly. JAG1 bought ice cream. Oh man talk about being soiled on vacation with good friends. JAG1 I gotta say thank you for dragging me out of idaho. Very beautiful area yes I promise to get photos and post up.
  14. So it's going to be like most the Rams are for control. Basically it is CANBus for the turn signal switch, and activation of the bulb from the TIPM. From that point on it standard 12V. Double check your bulb socket for corrosion it could be enough to foul connection. Probe the socket see if there is any 12V signal with turn signal or marker lights. If the other is working its not a fuse issue.
  15. Went in to Terrible's Casino and dropped 50 dollars on the new video slots. Man it not like it was years ago with the bucket of coins and pull the one arm bandit. Rather boring to just tap a button. Anyways had a bit of win for about 5 bucks then blew it oh well easy come easy goes. Oh @JAG1 is about 2 hour out I can get a bit of house keeping done.
  16. Well I wasn't impressed with Lovelock so... I hauled down to Fernley NV. @JAG1 called he's 3 hours out so I got time to gamble and just screw off for awhile.
  17. You could ask me after my trip I build tunes as well. My tunes are not about power but efficiency and low EGTs.
  18. Yup. I was woke up by a refer unit at around midnight. Got back to sleep and woke at 6am. Smooth sailing. Oh for you guys ask for the tow tune I'm build it yet. Trying some changes in timing layout as well as fueling layout. This morning with wind was way better numbers. Yesterday was a 10.06 MPG trip fighting wind ugh. I'm currently in Lovelock NV. Getting breakfast then looking for a slot machine dump a few dollars at it.
  19. Yup. Fernley is correct. I'll be meeting @JAG1 then continuing on. I might be ahead but now I can slow down a bit and snoop in a casino throw a little money at slot machine. Gotta for old time sake. This goes back the trip @MoparMom and I made years ago from California to Idaho. We stopped in Nevada toss a few dollars and rolled on. This was 32 years ago. Yup gotta give it a pull for Mom.
  20. Well I made it to rest area south of Winnemucca. Got lucky the lot is pretty flat. Already grabbed a bite in Winnemucca. No cooking tonight. Flipped on the heat, then inverter. Now I'm in bed staying warm and listening to music on my phone. Another 4 hours left tomorrow and met up with @JAG1.
  21. Yeah business related. Cant say right now but I'll release it very soon.
  22. Now to take care of my house bills this morning. I've got a special bill that I'm gotta have a check and drop in the mail. After that I'm moving on.
  23. Come down when your healed up ill work the pounds off you. I was maxed out at 253 pounds when I went for my cancer treatment. Last time on the scale I'm now 215 pounds and slowly losing pounds. Maybe not so much on my trip.
  24. Funny so far I notice my best MPG is between 2,000 to 2,500 RPMs. When it drops below 2,000 the efficiency drops. I cannot add timing to 1500 band because of bucking issues at about 30 MPH making city travel not fun.
