Afternoon ride
Seen Grouse, White Tail Deer and Wild Turkeys. What is scary is the lack of snow and being able to travel so far up the mountain without any snow issues. Yeah the Seven Devils looks great all snow capped yet. But I was on the east side of the valley working my way up. So little snow...

High idle kit problems
It just suggested to switch to the high idle mode BEFORE you start. Then after the mode is set you can select either OFF or MPG. The 6 CYL selection is working normally and fooling the coolant temp to 123*F so it would hold high idle indefinitely for you. Soon as you switched away from the 6 CYL it should cancel if the coolant is over 170*F. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/64-mopar1973man-com-high-idle-kit/455-mopar1973man-com-high-idle-operation-manual

Scan gauge II question
To clear codes the engine must NOT be running. Shutdown everything. Then turn the key to ON but do not start. May have to wait 1-2 minutes as the computer are all talking right away. So now you can reset the error codes.

Afternoon ride
I had to break out this morning and take a day off from both jobs. So I loaded up the ATV and left and headed up Denny Creek Road. My first stop was to hit the Old Denny Creek TV Tower. Back long ago in the 90's before satellite TV was available the neighborhood invested in the local TV tower a few bucks from everyone to pay for the power and the FCC license. So while I was up on the knob I broke out my Fuji FinePix HS30 EXR camera and attempted to shot a picture of the house. I was shocked when I got home and seen the picture turned out. I'm on the right side you can see the butt of the RV in the photo as well as the very large maple tree out back and a bit of smoke coming out the chimney. Then as I came down from there I shot a picture of the Seven Devils Mountain Range with all its snow yet.

Another fuel treatment system, Hip or Hype?
Amazing what can be found when we all put our heads together about a product.

Another fuel treatment system, Hip or Hype?
Stumbled on this from ASTM testing labs.

Another fuel treatment system, Hip or Hype?
Would be nice to know hat in the tube. Is the another version of the magnet tied to the fuel line idea? Or is that a hollow tube with a fancy label?

Safe boost level
For what ever reason my boost gauge will climb extremely fast to 35-36 pounds... The POP the wastegate falls about 2-3 pounds then rises up to 34-35 PSI and holds solid. But this all happens with 1-2 seconds and going from 55 MPH to over 70 MPH in no time flat. The EGT's typically barely make 1,300*F no if I hold on to it going higher in speed I can hit 1,400*F but now I'm going stupid fast.

Well, the airdog, once again..
You bring up another subject of the AirDog system I don't like... The fact that every thing is cut and created to mount only in one spot. What happens if you want to custom mount the pump in the box skin? Or maybe move it to behind the transfer case like mine? Can't be done because of the "Quick Connect System" Not every one want a AirDog pump mounted is their location.

Safe boost level
I forgot the HY35 you have to use a wastegate j hook.

Adjustable boost elbow or just purchase a Edge Products boost elbow that is pre-set.

Edge Comp Reset?
Ahhh... Ok. I'm still playing catch up to a degree.
-
Edge Comp Reset?
Hold the power switch for 3 seconds and release put you in sub-level mode. To reset the Edge Comp just try the key off. Then next power cycle it boots back up.

Why is my right tire wearing on the outside?
I would make sure you not pulling excessively on thee screws. It does work better with a partner help hold the tape measure between points.

He351ve stand alone Arduino controller code for 2nd Gen Cummins
Another thought. You both (Cowboy and Nick) need to verify how far the stock MAP sensor is good for also how far is your exhaust pressure sensor is good for? Won't do any good to build a software expecting higher numbers than thee sensors are capable of reading accurately.

Safe boost level
HX35 Turbo is good to 35 PSI HY35 Turbo is good to 32 PSI It's based on the exhaust housing or the choke point of the turbo.

Friday Funny.
Ummm... I'm blonde by choice. My actual hair color is brown but I due to head in and be streaked (bleached) so I have a bit of blonde added. Bring on the jokes... Yankneck he's a blonde too.

Bleeding brakes
You might want to use compressed air to push the pistons out next time.

Tailgate latches
White lithium grease is what we use quite a bit of at the shop (Lindy's). Matter of fact I grab the can of PB blaster and Lindy stopped me and told me to use the white lithium grease. Shake the can well and spray everything very well. You'll be surprised it will stick to everything very well and stay lubricated for months into the future. Stopped a customer's door from squeaking.

idle lope
Possible... I'm not saying it is or isn't just be open minded. Either way I would be looking at the fuel system first and do some bench testing. Like is there any error codes currently. Fuel pressure (idle to WOT at highway speed) What your injectors like currently? Mileage? Pop test? 7 x 0.010 is roughly a 100 HP injector using this information. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/index.php?/topic/6494-injector-sizes-and-turbo-discussion/

Steering Brace
Just looking at your post again and doing the backward calculation to your stated pressures. Using 3,042 Pound Rating at 80 PSI maximum pressure. 55 PSI / 80 PSI = 0.68 * 3,042 = 2,068 * 2 = 4,137 pounds on your front axle 60 PSI / 80 PSI = 0.75 * 3,042 = 2,281 * 2 = 4,563 Pounds on your rear axle (empty) 75 PSI / 80 PSI = 0.93 * 3,042 = 2,851 * 2 = 5,703 Pounds on the rear axle (loaded) For a total of 8,700 (empty) or 9,840 pounds (loaded). Getting a wee bit heavy aren't we Bill... Of course this is backwards calculating the tire pressure back to weights.

Steering Brace
So I tried it and liked it. I dropped from the calculated 58 PSI in the front to 53 PSI which is -5 from calc'ed. Then dropped the rear the same -5 from calc'ed I think its at 39 PSI and it tracks very well now. I like it! Thanks Bill! Front axle weight 4,410 Rear Axle weight 3,340 Total 7,750

Odd injector misfire
Made a trip south to get some stuff today. Misfire is only on a fully heated engine (190-195*F of coolant). More pronounced after a long uphill climb with high EGT's 800-1000*F. All you need to do to cancel the miss is either put your foot heavy on the brake heavy or turn on the A/C and its gone. If left to idle for extended period say 10 minutes or longer it will go away. If you shut down the engine for all of 1-2 minutes and start again its gone too.

Tailgate latches
Something is wore out for it not being able to pull enough to release. You might have to pull the latch out and inspect closer.

Bleeding brakes
That can be cleaned up. It the outer weather boot that was damaged and needs replacing.
