Right now, it will be used for regional trips that might include a few nights camping. If it still appeals to me, I plan on building a removable camper for the deck similar to a truck camper, but larger. My 1st trip at the end of the month is to RoadAtlanta for the historics Mitty event. Eventually, I will trailer this to events.

Something a little different. Freightliner FL60

Nope, never did.Sold the truck and bought an older one with a straight B series motor. It's just the overall computer thing.

Yes, I thought the same. Right now its putting out 14.8 and 12.6 after sitting awhile. The alternator could still have an intermittent issue though.

Yep. That's what I did. I will try one more time. Then what?I guess I need to know if someone has done it on an '06.EDIT: I did it faster and it worked. Thanks! ,,,,but no codes, hmmm

Nothing happens when I cycle the ign key. Are you sure this works on an '06 ?

Has anyone installed the Firestone Ride-Rite air suspension?I recently bought a Fleetwood truck camper and had a devil of a time getting it home. The springs on the truck are just too soft, and the overriders don't help much. Thought I'd give these a try. I can't believe they put these springs on here! That's why it rides so good empty!

I posted the below info in the 2-stroke thread, but this is really the place it should be kicked around. Any opinions are appreciated."I have run maybe 10 fills with 100:1 and something is not right. There is a loss of power and the turbo seems a little louder when accelerating. It didn't happen until a 1000 mile trip heavily loaded.Still not sure what is to blame though. I have an apparent issue with the grid heater or something because the voltmeter will cycle, and the tach goes to near zero if under about 1400 RPM (all the time).This weekend I plan on reading the codes, and checking alternator output at idle and higher RPMI don't want to hijack this thread...will post in the appropriate place."Also will someone verify the ignition sequence for reading codes? Specifically, how many time on/off.

If it is gumming up an exhaust brake, I wonder what it could do to the turbo?I have run maybe 10 fills with 100:1 and something is not right.

Don't you just love truck armor?! Looks stout.

Ah, you are right. It would act as if it were cold and be hardly burnt. Same results as a broken quill shaft in a detroit choking the air from the cylinders. (no air, same as too much unburnt fuel)

Thanks for the clarification pics Michael. I have not been into a 5.9 before. But,,,,rich diesel burns black smoke and lean is white.I would speculate if that much fuel was getting by the rings, you'd wear them out from cylinder wash.Could they leak into the rocker arm area?

I can appreciate that dracozny.We've had some substantial med bills in the past, and I commute 600 miles a week.The past few years have been hard to concentrate on projects.See my photobucket link in my signature line if you're interested in seeing many serious one-man-band enormous undertakings. Look on the left side at the folders including a steel bridge, house, sawmill, shelby replica.

Are you saying these injectors are exposed to the crankcase and not just the combustion chamber?
