How Heavy is too Heavy?
Your were pulling 54k lbs? I assume your truck weighs 8k.

Pros & Cons BlueChipDiesel VP44X vs a timing box
I think the bluechip route is a huge waste of money. A regular pump and an edge ez or quad xzt is the same thing.

990k Mile Service
Mke I am in the Bahamas right now. I sent you some photos. I will get you a picture when I get back. I am not sure exactly where I will be when I get to a million but I am hoping to do it in Indiana. The cummins people call me often and they are looking forward to this with us.

990k Mile Service
Time to change all of the fluids. Oil, rear end, trans, coolant. Everything else seems to be working fine. I might change out my apps because i am shifting a little late. I am hoping the late shift is from a small loss of power from a faulty apps. If not it is probably a weak pump.

Temperature Drop
190 is the standard. I run the 180 in the summer. I like it for towing.

Transfer Flow fuel tank/tool box question
I use an old lift pump and have a switch on the dash. You just have to remember to turn it off or it makes a mess!

Quit using ROSMELLA and the problem will go away. Try some Delo.

Quadzilla XZT+, non-published 3000 tune
The 2000 tune is more aggressive. The 3000 tune can be downloaded from their website and is sort of a fix for the trucks that shudder from their other tunes. My truck still shudders up hills if I am towing something and it is under 40 degrees. The 3 cylinder high idle goes on all the time too. You can choose different 2000 or 3000 tunes that chang when the high idle comes on. All of this is on their website.

Brake Controllers & trailer brakes
I have a maxbrake. It is awesome. I would use a P3 if I didn't use it every day though. Since I do use it everyday the cost wasn't as much of a factor.

How Heavy is too Heavy?
I am a chronic over loader. I go WAY over the payload capacity all the time. I have modified my suspension to handle it though. I use a coilover shock, timbren bags and a add a leaf. I think timbren bags are said to raise your payload capacity 500 or 1000 pounds. As far as attornies go I have been told by a few that I would be in trouble if I got in an accident when the truck was overloaded. I am not an attorney so I can't tell give you any real legal advice. I would put the camper on myself. The airbags would help a lot as well. Using them may also raise your carrying capacity..

You have to be kidding......
White smoke can be coolant as well. Can you smell the smoke? The smell will tell you what it is. If it is sweet it is coolant.

Temperature Drop
- 3,000 or 7,500
My 8k to 10k are mostly highway and that means an oil change every week and a half or two weeks. I dropped down from 20k because I got scared. WHen I head the head off at 600k the cylinders had all the crosshatching. I use delo and fleetgaurd stratopores. I dont use the non stratopore ones. --- Update to the previous post...
