Does the AD165 not come with the fitting to cut the filler hose and run the return in there? That's how the 150 is. For the fuel pick-up I just found a good place to cut a hole in the top of the tank and put the draw straw in it. It all worked pretty slick.

Just wondering if anybody here knows anything about these engines in the f-150? Dad is shopping for a vehicle and we test drove one yesterday. The power is unbelievable! He's looking for something to replace his car and likes the room inside, and handling of a pickup on our country roads. So mostly wondering how the mpg's are in real world driving. With the price of gas that's a major factor in vehicle buying:doh:

I shimmed mine too but I'm getting 21psi now. I suppose i should take one shim out or what's the upper psi limit for the vp44?

This is a bit of a long shot but have you checked to make sure your power/ground connections are secure? Poor connections can generate heat.

I'm using Isspro EV2's. I really like them. Got the set from Diesel Autopower.

What kind of test is that?

Fueled up today and had to change the fuel offset to 60. Every tankful is different. I've had it as low as 35 so what's going on here? At this rate it sure isn't useful for watching my mpg's.

Thanks! I was at a friend's place who is a real wiz with this stuff and he drew up a diagram for me so I'm good to go:thumb1: He even helped me figure out what I need to do my high idle with 2 switches instead of the 3 that i had.

$1.23/litre which is $4.65/gallon here.

I've adjusted it lots. Had to add extra shims already since the nut bottomed out.

I've had a Luke's Link now for just over a year and it seems to be almost wore out. I forgot about greasing it sometimes so I'm sure that is part of it but if you have the $'s get a more permanant fix. It's a great way if you're short on cash as i was then. I checked out Rock Auto and I think I'll be getting a Moog bar from them soon.

What sort of things can we add as an xgauge on our trucks? I tried 2 (just forget now which they were) and they didn't show any info.

Could someone help me understand this diagram? I'm having a really hard time following the flow of current through it. I bought a DPDT relay today and was hoping to wire up a system like this tomorrow. Here's just like what I got if it helps.

I tried attaching a pic of the wiring diagram of the relay but all that shows is that little red x, not sure why.

This is good info but my question still remains, if I'm using a good filter in the stock canister do I need to go out of my way to put such a fine filter on the airdog? Especially considering the availability in my area?

I just got a Wix 533673 for mine. That's a filter. Still waiting for the water seperator so don't know what number it will be.

I'm not Mike but I'll throw in my 2 cents. When you talk boost are you reading the MAP reading? That will not show 0. Take the number it shows with the engine off and that will be your '0'. It is showing barometric pressure or something so it won't be 0. As for the AVG mpg the one that shows on the main screen is the daily average. After the truck has been shut off for a certain length of time it will reset to 0. I forget exactly where you go but I think it is in the TRIP menu where you can see the avg for the current tank of fuel.

Wouldn't something like this work? http://www.canadianpestrepeller.com/over_mice.htm I didn't study it but I'm guessing you'd have to plug it in every time you parked your truck but that inconvenience might be better than the inconvenience of having mice.

That's just what my car did when it had a bad wheel bearing. I didn't notice vibration so much as the noise which was audible only while going straight and curving to one side.

It certainly is the hot batch. I had mine on the front 3 but recently moved it to the back 3. I'm thinking as much as 100 to 150* hotter.

What you need to do is freeze the outer race. This will shrink the race and it'll slip into the housing. The bearings themselves you put in a slow cooker or similar filled with oil,this will expand the inner race and they'll slip right on. I've been involved with both and they work really good.

I use a variety of different oils but always some of this. It is the most amazing lube I have ever seen.

Yes the blue has power, same voltage as the battery, and the green is ground. --- Update to the previous post... This was the problem:doh: I wasn't aware that there was a fuse like this.

Well I weighed the odds of fixing my old alternator or getting a new one and decided on the new one because it comes with a 2 year warranty. Well it didn't charge so I put the old one back on and it doesn't charge now either but it did when I took it off. Am I still looking at ECM problems? --- Update to the previous post... Any ideas for me out there?
