Just remember, the position of the barrels is critical for proper fuel volume and balance.

Hey, just a thought, but have you checked your pre-screen? That is one spot that gets missed that may be part of the problem.

Well then, have you checked the inter cooler for any leaks? Another thing to do is pull the intake off the turbo and check to see how it feels when you spin it. Also check for play on the shaft. A little end to end play is fine, but if you get side to side and can make the compressor wheel touch the side you have a problem.

Russ, rather than pay the dealer $500 for a new LP, you can also have the truck towed to another shop for less money.

Does your truck smoke at all? If you are seeing black smoke you have air issues, but if you don't have smoke you are not getting enough fuel to get to 35 psi.

That hiss would be air being blown through an intake valve and by a piston. Chances are it is nothing to worry about. Another place to check for leaks is the top of the intake itself. When you have pressure on it check the grid heaters and the top plate on the intake too. What is your waste gate set at?

Here is another site that has good info for you that explains a lot: http://www.aircondition.com/tech/questions/82/

Not 40 as it cycles, but a CONSTANT 40psi when running. At an idle it should not be cycling much if at all. Far as things going boom, look down by the compressor and you will see a pressure switch. That pressure switch is there just in case the pressure goes over about 250psi and shuts the compressor down. The high side can very easily handle 300+psi.

John, you are letting the numbers scare you. The reason you will have high pressures with the truck standing still is because you don't have enough air flowing across the condenser. If you set a fan in front of the radiator then try charging it you will get better results. Here is what I would do: Put a fan in front of the radiator then hook up the low and high pressure lines. Turn the air on. I would not get too concerned about what the high side says. Get the low pressure up to about 40 psi (with it running)and see how the air feels. If you are happy then disconnect the gauges and shut the truck off. After a couple of minutes I would spray ALL connections and rubber hoses with a solution of dish soap and water. Give it another 5 minutes to allow the bubbles to form and look everything over real good. Tom

Just MAKE SURE that you recheck the lug nuts after you put about 25 to 50 miles on. They sometimes do loosen up. Also, using a torque wrench is a great idea. Torque for the wheel studs is 120 to 140 lbft.

I never would have thought that a fusible link would act like that! That is good news!!

He is asking if his truck has the wiring in place to get the display on his truck and what it would take to make things work.

Hm. I have not had any issues with the EGTs getting very high even towing. About the most I have seen was about 1250* for brief periods and about 900* under normal towing. Maybe the turbo I have (HX35) moves enough air?

Does it really do much good? I am just curious since I have run a BHAF for over 100,000 miles without one and have not had any indication of a problem.

Good. I read that thread and though WOW!! I hope you don't get caught up in that mess!

Read THIS thread........

OBD I instructions: The Quick Paper Clip Test Since we are looking at the connector pins, it should be mentioned here that a quick method to see which trouble code or codes are being set in your cars ECM is to jumper the A and B pins of the 12 pin ALDL OBD1 connector with a paper clip. While the car is off, sitting still, turn the ignition key forward while this jumper is in place. Do not start the car. The Service Engine Soon ( SES ) light will flash in a repeating sequence, telling which trouble codes have been set in the ECM. A service manual for your year car will have a chart outlining what each trouble code stands for, or this Trouble Code website can be of help. This paper clip method will tell you the trouble code or codes set in your ECM, but it will not tell you what conditions the trouble code is being set under, or let you clear the trouble codes on the fly.

Well, That storm was a bust. We got about 1" that's it, 1 whole inch of snow, but we had wind gusts approaching 70+ MPH!

Real easy. Just get yourself some R-134 with the UV dye (leak detector) and put it in. Run the A/C for a bit (15 min or so). Then try to get the truck into the shade and use a black light to look at all the hoses and fittings you can. If you can't find anything that way there is a good chance the leak is in the evaporator. Try to find some place that has a hand held leak detector and have them put the sensor in the drain tube and that should tell you.

Since you said it happens when it gets wet, check the harness that goes from the firewall to the PDC. Right where the harness goes over the shock tower the harness can wear and cause a bunch of issues. I fought that one for a year on my daughter's truck before we found it. Hers is a '98 12v.

Yep, that is what happens and when you drop the high pressure the low pressure drops too!

Gee, that's too bad........ A BLIZZARD WARNING starts here in about 10 minutes and goes for about the next 30 hours with a potential for 16+ inches of snow and wind gusts of over 60MPH tonight. I wish it was just rain.......

You are correct, there is a liability for Gross Negligence, but simply being slightly over the GVW would not be considered gross negligence. The point I am trying to make is *I* would not have ANY issue with putting a load on that is capable of putting me slightly over the CVW.

Sorry about getting here late, but when I got my truck I had an OLD 10' slide in (read HEAVY). I put this camper on a truck I had before my Cummins. It was a 1989 Chevy R-30 (4 full size doors on the cab) dually. About 50 MPH was all it felt comfortable going down the road. My truck has air bags on it. I put the same camper on my 2500 and aired the bags to 35#. I could set the cruise at 65 mph and just ride with one hand on the steering wheel! I went from northern Mn to Branson, Mo and back with absolutely NO problem. I never did cross a scale with it. What i am trying to say is you could put air bags on (they don't increase the LEGAL GVW, but they will increase the over all carrying ability of the truck. I keep hearing about how you can get sued for being overweight, but have never heard of it happening. If you claim to not know the weights can it be proved otherwise? Remember..... There is NO law about being stupid.....
