But also the pressure at which it pops will dictate the quality of atomization of the injectors too.

I know the feeling. I just thought I was doing so good then all the little things started to go wrong with my truck. Just time to give them some TLC and make them happy once again.

Here is what it looks like...

Well now Colorado isn't even close to flat just as lumpy and Idaho is. But someone in Midwest could easily run a full cover like that. But after a few close calls here I've given up on the full cover idea. I know the Geno's allows for openings to added for ventilation or adjust how much. So we'll see how you fair on this. Matter of fact I'll be putting mine on tomorrow morning darn cold here in the mornings at 32-35*F and taking several miles to even get heat.

MnTom is correct. The soap nozzle should be a very large bore nozzle typically. Just for fun here is my hand-me-down 3000 PSI power washer.

Well for while now I've had a squeak noise from my blower motor that would come and go. Today I finally got around to look at it. I pulled the blower motor down and attempted to spin the cage. OMG! Talk about hardly spin. It must of been putting a hell of a load amps wise on the circuit. Never blown the fuse or burnt anything that I know of. But the shaft without the cage on you couldn't twist with your fingers you had to use pilers. Well my nice boss ordered me one today and just got it tonight so I'll get the new one installed in the morning.

Geez... When it rains it pours. I just lost my pyrometer this morning it quit working. So I did my phone shopping at work today since it was slow. Called around and once again my buddy Eric at Vulcan Performance did the best price. I'm just beside myself of taking either ISSPro EV's or ISSPro EV2's. The EV's are all mechanical gauges. Now Eric tells me the EV2's are electronic and using now solid state pressure sensors that are rare to fail. I'm considering on jumping out on a limb and trying the EV2's. What do you all think? http://www.isspro.com/page.php?page=Performance_Diesel_By_Product_Series#tabs-1 Once again thanks to http://www.vulcanperformance.com

Back when I did that article I cover just as shown and watch coolant temps get out of hand. But I tend to favor the grill cover more so because of the air gap and the ability of the fan to lock and cool again. Yes I do hear the fan lock up and cool things down once in awhile when climbing around in the mountains. Geno's might be fine for flat landers but I won't want to try it up here.

I bought Southbend Con OFE for mine because the stock clutch no loner could hold the juice any more. Back in the day I bought it for like $800 if I remember right.

ASD Relay just shuts down (not defuel) everything if anything goes way out of spec. Also ASD is only tied to the PCM has absolutely no connection to the ECM. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/images/2ndgen24v/wiring/2002-Dodge-Wiring-Pg1.jpg But as for defueling if any ECM sensor rise or falls from normal now the ECM commands defueling.

Be very careful it very possible to get some really hot temps. (IAT and/or Coolant) http://articles.mopar1973man.com/general-cummins/35-exterior/135-winter-fronts-for-dodge-cummins-trucks

Does seem odd that you would have to buy the tools to do the valves...

This month I be putting my Winter Fronts in. I'm seeing 40*F in the mornings and barely breaking over 70*F during the day. So I run from October to April with my winter fronts. What you want to watch is the IAT temps as long as your hitting about 100-140*F your optimal for fuel mileage below that you lose roughly 1 MPG for even 10 degree drop.

As for trans additive the shop I work in the Boss (Lindy) uses Trans X... http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx/A-Trans-Fluid-Additive-30-oz-CRC-Trans-X/_/R-KW_402032_0006409557

Depending on condition and what is on the engine I would say the 4-5 is about right for a entire engine including VP44 and turbo.

Lets say with my setup right now I've got problems with my tires holding dry pavement in 2nd or 3rd gears. Depending on condition of the road, what I'm towing and how hard I get on the throttle it been known to spin the tires. So I would say yes... Take care of all the weakness like the trans and fuel system before you even think about upgrading fuel or HP.

Welcome to the site. Sorry about the profile limits that in place till 20 post and they are automatically lifted. This is makes unfavorable for spammers. If you work on getting economy and efficiency up the horse power will come with it. Like myself I'm just running little +50 HP injectors and a Edge Comp. Still running stock 3" because there is absolutely no need for 4" since all economy drive should be done at 5 PSI or less so there is no back pressure anyways. But my current high mark. Cmg (Current MPG for the Day).

Absolutely right. The MAP sensor is reporting the boots pressure to the ECM and sees pressures above 20 PSI and it starts cutting back fuel to keep from exceeding boost limits. So a boost fooler (minimum) or a actual performance module like Edge or similar would do much better because now you can calculate fuel tables above the ECM knowledge. This is why the wire tap is required. Other modules that don't tap the wire are going to be limited to 60-65 HP period.

Works better attached to a engine and pumping fuel.

Correct. Normal alternator should be roughly 0.01 to 0.02 AC Volts. AC noise tend to burn up transistors and diodes that where designed for DC power. This creates excessive heat and things start to fail and burn up. Also PCM and ECM can fail from the same problem. Another version...

Probably even easier that the pump isn't on the truck anymore. (The last that I knew).

Ummm... Yes, that was what I was figuring on is that most VP44 owner won't have a clue where a P7100 idle screw is at. As for the VP44 it doesn't have a idle screw at all. Even the stop screw on the APPS sensor is NOT a idle screw. The idle is completely ECM controlled as long as the APPS sensor is providing the IVS (Idle Validation Switch) for idle then the APPS sensor is ignored completely and the ECM controls idle on it own by software. VP44 injection pump is completely fly by wire there is no throttle attachment to the pump like a P7100 injection pump.

Not pushing oil other the breather either. Never drips nor is there oil splatter under the truck. Nothing even close to this...

Nevermind... AT 3am I'm pretty blurry eyed...

Don't even drip in my shop. No. Because the tube is near engine heat for most of its travels.
