Like Quadzilla already said in my quote above is that the stock VP44 without modification can reach full advancement without any modules or programming. So this just means when timing is given. Since mechanical advancement is going to static like twisting and setting a distributor or the Special X VP44 vs. programming which is going dynamically alter the curve and when max timing is given. Like Russ Quadzilla XLT.

Keep going... P1693 code just means there is more codes. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/59-obdii-error-codes-cummins

So far I'm liking my made in China Black Lion's on the truck wearing very well. http://www.blackliontires.com/tires/BC86.html

Exactly. It a matter of modifying the current timing table to fit our driving needs than just advancing the initial timing. So then you get better all around performance. Yes I'm old enough to remember points and condensers. Also as a pup I found out what excessive timing does to a engine. It will break big chunks of piston and piston rings. Just like it can do on our trucks too. Like back in the day of Mopar's we changed the springs on the fly weights inside the distributor to change the timing curve and left the initial timing alone.

Like JAG1 and I had a long conversation on the phone last night about this. More or less what BlueChip had done is like taking a old Chevy truck grab the distributor and twisted forward a few extra degrees initial advance. So basically using that same idea the total number of degrees advancement is the same just move forward in time more. Where most performance box do the very same thing dynamic through software for much much less money. Edge EZ - $398.73 Edge Comp - $573.18 Edge Juice - $1003.48 Some more to look at... Smarty & Smarty Touch Quadzilla Diablo Power Puck Bully Dog Problem is now you stacking timing if you add a module to that Special X pump. So this is one of the limitation I spoke of you can add a performance module to a Special X or Hot Rod pump. But now a stock SO VP44 and a Edge Comp (120 HP) or a Quadzilla (180 HP) would surely produce way more power than mere 22 HP Special X. So the only direct you can go now is injectors for power and still you have no fuel management. Just thinking about it. You could run 2 devices with that Special X or hotrod. Smarty (fuel only mode - No timing) or TST box (Fuel only box). But still the timing map on a Special X or Hotrod is dictated by ECM and it's information. Where a full module like Edge, Quadzilla has a wider range of timing control.

That's why I suggest getting stock injection pump vs. Any kind hotrod or special X pump because you can tune around it much easier. With hotrod or special X you have to be aware of the limitations of each pump.

I have a few friends and few of them on the site. But I've got lots of acquaintances.

That's where I've got a limitation I cannot measure timing on these pump at all. But I can tell you timing it set by temperature more so. So, the colder the IAT temperature and ECT temperature the more advancement the VP44 will have. This is because colder air takes more time to convert liquid fuel to vapor to ignite. The warmer the IAT the more retarding. Because the air is already warm fuel will convert quickly from liquid to vapor and ignite very quickly so less timing advancement is required. I can tell you that the MPG fooler works from the basis of fooling the ECM to seeing 143*F which retards timing and typically gives a about 2 MPG gain. When timing is good the engine should be a bit quieter and less rattle typically the EGT's fall even more.

The windows visors might keep the summer time insects out. I really hate when a be or hornet bounces off the mirror and hits me in the chest or manages to fall in my shirt. Man I really hate getting stung in the belly. Been there done that.

There is a member named Dynamic here he should be able to answer that for you. He happens to be transmission builder.

I would like to say "Thank You" to a anonymous person for the gift he sent me. WeatherTec Vent Visors Husky Floor Mats

Excessive timing pushes the torque curve higher into the RPM span which in turn only makes power on the upper RPM span which creates the smoke issues for the lower RPM span. So lets say stock torque curve maxes out ay 1,900 RPM's. So advancing the timing moves that peak timing curve higher into the RPM span so say 2,200 to 2,300 RPM's. This is good for racing folks but bad for daily drivers. Being the pump is mechanically modified with added timing there is no real way to retard it.

Too low. Typical I see like 70-90 PSI just at rest for Dodge trucks. You might see variance because of current temps.

So what was you static pressure of freon? I'll dig up the schematic tomorrow morning.

I should of measured the hub of the Frantz Filter and seen what size of roll I need to fit it snug again so next time I hit a WalMart or similar I can measure a wide variety of brands to see if I can hit a better roll. Still leaves me with a leaking can issue and finding the square cut o-rings that are better. I've got another 4 or 5 o-rings left and they seem to be leaking by the next oil change. Messy SOB. That why I still going to do more reading and research. There has to be a cost effective solution. Something that doesn't need to be cleaned up like spinner and Frantz. I really do hate the mess you have to deal with and leaks. Spin on filter are more appealing but "specs aren't good enough". So I have to say... These industrial applications that use these spin on bypass oil filters must be good enough for something. Being most of the application list is diesel engines that these filter are used for.

Just for the learning curve I looked up drone to see what is was all about... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_%28bee%29

If I'm not mistaken 12V engines have the coolant sensor at the rear of the head.

What can I say.... I noticed they registered yesterday so I sent a PM telling them to call. It all got finalized this afternoon.

Already done... Parleys is added to the vendor pool as of this evening... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/index.php?/forum/166-parleys-diesel-performance/ Thank you Paul for your efforts.

How about freon in the system? Is there at least 60-90 PSI of freon on the low side? Electrical - How about the A/C relay is it good? Fuse J (10 Amp) is it blown? Is the compressor clutch got a open circuit? (Ohm test)

Cleaning sensors doesn't do any good to resolve any problem that is a Internet Myth. If a sensor is failed its failed and replacement will only fix it. I no longer suggest cleaning sensors because it doesn't resolve anything nor does it change readings.

Need to grab that AirDog / Raptor thread and keep building on it. Maybe between all of us we can keep the pumps going without all the constantly calling "Pureflow" for warranty work.

I've never had a issue with a criss-cross rotation.

I'll have to look at freight charges...
