  1. Which app is better to use one from app store or one that's someplace here that I can never seem to find.
  2. So you're going to use your 62/68/12 as primary and s475 secondary. What exactly is the purpose of it, to have more boost, is it more consistent, higher psi, is it still going to spool as fast as your primary can spool. Is primarys boost plumbed into secondary exhaust and that's how s475 gets spooled. I kinda have an idea but never looked into it that hard. Yeah I just woke up. ... literally
  3. how did you make it so small
  4. I've asked you this before but I lost my phone with all the info I saved, could you specify exactly what you got, and do you have a picture of it at night looking ahead, I'm undecided about 4300 or 5000 bulbs. Thanks. Edit, Cancel that, I just found your article and my exact question you answered already. But still undecided on 43 VS 5k bulbs
  5. We'll just leave it at that...
  6. Some earlier ones had it happened and even heard from a guy that knows a guy his brother in laws uncles kids friend had it happened I guess never know till you look.
  7. I kind of does look like busted gear case, better make sure it's not before removing head. That's kinda where kdp is in that area. Some one I know just bought a truck that had a crack in case and it was dumping oil out like that. Here is my hg job And here is busted case
  8. No sorry I did not, my phone won't let me watch it. I guess you're looking at changing hg. Sorry man Funny or not so funny thing is that I blew oil out of mine same way bitting the crap out of my truck playing with v2 stuff. But I was on borrowed time for a while. When I took hg off there was other places where it was ready to blow. Near antifreeze passages and by thermostat housing. I think some of it was from PO not changing antifreeze on time. Or at least that's what I think.
  9. Yes, that's what happened to me, sorry to say but I had to change my hg, not saying it's your issue but a pretty good chance. Mine was leaking from front head bolt that is not under valvery cover, I guess you won't see the ones under the cover. What you can temporary do is take nut off clean very good and fill hole with rtv and then let it cure. I did that to mine worked for 4 years then I had to do hg.
  10. Is it coming from gasket, maybe just need a new one. There isn't much to it, take cover off and look, can't drive it this way anyway. These gaskets last 300k so who knows, maybe just a lose bolt.
  11. I don't know much about newer diesel with all the emissions stuff, but if I was looking for a newer truck that would be it. Body style color pretty much everything. Would like to know MPG comparison in real life. Is there any major issues with these, like vp on 2nd gens, I know injectors could be a problem. How many miles people get out of these, there's got to be someone with high mileage on one of these.
  12. I'm sure it's possible but I would just run it on the outside then you know what it's for, I'm guessing that's for your lift pump right. some people just bypass ECM all together and run lift pump off a toggle switch through a relay, the only problem with that I heard off is safety in case of an accident. That and forgetting to turn it on or off, maybe get a toggle with LED built into it.
  13. looks like 3.3 / vision is for newer vehicles
  14. Not sure where to ask this but what app do I want from app store 3.2 or 3.3 I have android. Just lost my phone and trying to get this one set up, last time I downloaded app I thought there was only one.
  15. Looks good man, 3/16 or 1/4. I chosed to go with a 4x8 1/4 tube so I had an air storage for my on board air, just in case I had a flat or someone else or needed air in air bags. But I hardly use it and you can just buy a little portable compressor to do that with anyway. At least you got someone on board with you helping and getting involved.
  16. I would suggest checking craigslist or ebay or even face book but would only buy one if a person was close enough to meet in person. People part these trucks out all the time. I've seen ecms for 300 bucks. Something worth gambling with.
  17. I guess that's better than nothing, traveling for work does suck. I drive 150 ml a day and just can't afford to not do it. I could get a local job but it will be very difficult to change budget. Biggest kick in nuts is there is hardly any appreciation, it's looked at as it should be this way, I could leave more healthy and on less money but would probably have to do it on my own, because some just have to keep up with the jonses.
  18. Do you get compensated for travelling
  19. What are you doing in iowa city don't mind me asking. I too killed a lot of brain cells down there. But that's all in my past life. No regrets though. Just happy I've never got into anything crazy.
  20. Look at you, all fancy. ... I'd like to get a new one with 4 doors but can't afford it I don't think. Waiting on wife to get somewhere at her job then maybe if play my cards right never know. Just wish newer one's didn't have all the expensive problems they come with. But then again if I had money to buy one I wouldn't worry about fixing it, probably just pay someone to do it too. Nice color.
  21. 243 is pretty good but I know some claim to have over 500k on stock IP and no 2 cycle added. I'm not doubting 2 stroke is helping in life span but I still think some get lucky like that. Just never know what to expect. I do know ever since I've been adding it, my truck runs better and much more quite. In fact I borrowed friends excavator for a weekend and it was low on fuel so I added 10 gallons I had already mixed with 2 cycle and in few minutes of running it got quite and smove.
  22. Good to know, I've never loaded default tune always my custom one.
  23. I'm not that bright on rest of questions but yes alternator with high ac noise can fry electronics. We can't stress this enough when it comes to hunting electrical problems.
  24. To be honest I never had a problem with it before, but I do skeep flashes as they come out because I just don't pay enough attention and don't drive the truck much.
  25. So I tried this betta tune and all seems good. On boost offset I'm at 11 and quad matches mechanical guage pretty close but at idle I'm at 2 if I put 10 then I'm at 3 and if 13 I'm at 0 but then it doesn't match as it goes up, not sure if I'm making since. So it's kinda back to where it was before last few updates, can't remember which flash it was where at idle I had 1 to 2 psi showing at idle. But at least now it follows mechanical gauge. On eco I didn't drive enough to see how accurate but love the idea, got it set at 120 for now seems to be where I think it's close but will need to put some miles on to calculate offset. What is a good starting point for 75hp or so. Other than that all great additions thanks for all your time once again Nick.
