What was totally disappointing about the ride was expecting to ride up a mountain to get away from people and find out that people are buying land farther and farther back in the woods. Then to find out of course USFS is no longer going to to maintain the roads beyond them. So the road that I remember back in the 90's you could drive a full size Dodge pickup to the top of the mountain. Now the road is so bad that you can barely ride a ATV up to the top. Huge ruts in the roads, rocks and wood debris everywhere. I use to years ago go firewood cutting up there now you couldn't even drive a truck in this area. Truly sad. Kind of like another road locally is the same way is Hazard Creek Road. I use to drive my pickup to the end of road and pull massive Red Firs out and truck out of there loaded. Now you can barely ride a ATV back in there. Kind of waiting for something to happen where the USFS gets bit in the tail for letting the roads go like this.

More than likely you got a loose connection that is shorting out blowing the fuse. Check your dash fuse again.

Too many people jump right in and get "Big" everything. Big Turbo, Big Injectors, Big Exhaust, etc. Diesels are just like gasoline engines. You can take a stock V8 engine with a 2 barrel carburetor and then drop a 1050 CFM 4 barrel on and expect it to work. Same with diesel you can't just go out and drop a large injectors in these expect good out come. I alway suggest a fueling module first because this gives you a fuel management for the future. So now as you desire larger injectors you have means of controlling fuel and smoke for the future. But always there will be a point where you fuel demands will require more turbo. But at that point you'll be looking into doing studs, fire ring, o-ring the head, etc. Because are you demands go up the more you have to fix the weak links. The other thing about this is as you slowly modify you can see your efficiencies of your tuning and follow that path then. But if you jump and go Big everything you most likely fight to get the efficiency back up from a low point. Rather common. Oh Yeah... Smoke is not a sign of power its a huge sign of inefficiency!

Smarty handle the timing nd TST handles the fuel.

I would add a module to the truck for now. That will wake it up for 120 HP worth in either Edge juice or Edge Comp, Quadzilla, TST, etc. That will give you fuel management and boost fooling in one shot. After that you can start stepping up through the injector sizes to what you want for total power.

[sharedmedia=garage:vehicles:2] All listed in my garage.

3" exhaust will handle about 400 HP without much problem. 4" exhaust will do every thing above that point. 5" exhaust is for big boys playing at nearly 1000 HP.

I would hold on to the HX35W turbo. I'm running +50 HP injectors plus the +120 HP of the Edge Comp. But your going to need a module of some sort. You need it to do the boost fooling. Even if you did a Edge Comp / Edge Juice and used level 4 (+100 HP) and +75 HP injectors you still be fine. Rule of thumb... For every 1 pound of boost you making roughly 10 HP. Or the other way around for every 10 HP you want to build you need 1 PSI of boost.

On a HX35W turbo you just find the brass elbow and unhook the rubber hose and remove the OE brass elbow and install the new adjustable elbow. Can't miss the rubber hose going to the wastegate motor. On a HY35W turbo there is a solid steel tube on the wastegate. There is no way to install a boost elbow on those turbos. So that's why I mention the J hook. HX35W on the left and HY35W on the right.

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...

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

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.

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.

Amazing what can be found when we all put our heads together about a product.

Stumbled on this from ASTM testing labs.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Ahhh... Ok. I'm still playing catch up to a degree.

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.

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.

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.

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.
