I would opt for the injectors to be tested. If cylinder health is good then its a fuel issue... There is only 2 things needed for diesel to fire. Compression and fuel. So if the compression is correct then its going to be a fuel issue. I still think injector pop testing is in order. It might be just a poor tuned injector maybe or something sticking? Won't know till you do some more testing.

I see you both from the same state... Oh My I bet the cops look for you...

Interesting... Once long ago I use to be brave like that and take trucks into places I shouldn't.

Red probe at the BATT terminal on the back of the alternator and black probe on the NEG battery post. Start the engine and measure.

There was someone here that was into Rat rods but I can seem to find him now.

From what I understand the Smarty updates to the most current stock flash so I wonder if the Smarty tune itself was the change in all the MAP readings? Still I would just for fun contact Bob Wagner and see what he's got to say or if there is actually a software bug.

Here you go NAPA listing at least. http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx/Thermostat-OE-Exact/_/R-THM456200_0420240722

Just remember EV2's are strictly electric.

I'm going to have to bookmark this and get these bits and piece myself.

At any rate the OP should be able to get a new flash for his Smarty to correct the ECM software? Most likely from Bob Wagner correct?

Well you confirmed the cylinder health is good now you'll have to move on to the injectors. Have them pop tested. TFaoro was that compression test supplied by Harbor Freight have all the right fittings for testing? If so I'm going to look into buying a compression gauge myself. I work on enough diesel locally I really could use it.

The I would suggest to the OP to re-run the settings again and see if the same thing is happening twice? So AH64ID if he can reproduce the problem it would be a software error on Smarty part correct?

Something is going on if running a program is skewing the output data versus stock programming and shows correct.

Like AH64ID has shown in the past the stock ECM tends to be retarded in timing for the most part.

It's all good we all make dumb mistakes. But at leas its a easy fix to the problem.

Typically I suggest using a smaller injector but using a fuel module like Edge Juice or Edge Comp for management of fuel and added fuelling. Using a large nozzle might reduce MPG's for a daily driver. But if this truck is going to be strictly strip and track then I say go for it. Grab the big injectors and a module.

Simple... It's a 5 speed transmission. Just stick in 5h gear and set the parking brake. An automatic I would get creative with a wedge or strap on the front pulley. Make sure you report all your compression numbers.

I'm not sure why the 98.5 to 02 show this skewed number of PSIa number. But after 03 on its back to normal. As for using thee SGII with my 96 Dodge V8 it works just fine. It shows proper PSIa readings.

I just checked and CPP (Cummins Performance Parts) carries FASS pumps. Let Jamie know you came from Mopar1973Man.Com.

Smarty tends to modify the data for some reason. I've worked with Pepsi71ocean with ScanGauge II and Smarty issues but it seems the Smarty tends to modify the data coming out so other device tend to display erred information.

I do the same thing. But, Lindy down at the shop tends to lift the vehicle off the floor and then leave the return line off and engine off. Then pan the steering from left to right several times till empty. Then hook up the return line and then fills it back up with fluid. Then pan the steering slowly with the engine off and purge the system of air. Then its ready for starting up. But this is generic method for all vehicles.

Or the alternator fuse.

Might call Eric @ Vulcan Performance. That's where I got my replacement line for my system not bad for price either.

I'm one of the few that never got a warranty card back in the 2006 period. So I'm screwed already.
