  1. yep both oval the 01 sensor is the commonly used one. Typically if you buy a 02 sensor you actually get an 01 sensor with a pigtail.
  2. no, The wrong sensor would make your truck a dog. I suppose you could flash the ecm with a later truck file, then rewrite everything to make the map work etc...but it is much more likely you have a 00 model and he has a 01 model.
  3. Wont work. The boost reading compared to voltage is Way different between the round and oval sensors. The comp needs to be reprogrammed to work with the other sensor type. 00 trucks should have the round connector, who know when the actual 00 /01 switch was made thought.
  4. Try some stock sized tires. Has the truck always been like this? The 1st gear shift rpm is about right, but due to the tire size it is ~25 mph vs 235/85/16 ~18mph 2nd to 2200 rpm really isn't that far off either, assuming you are at ~30%-%50 tps or so. I would image you would be since you are having to spin the big tires with 3.55 gears. 3rd I don't understand what you said happens, can you explain in better detail? 4th same don't understand. You might change your OSS on the trans just to see if 3rd and 4th act better, but unless you regear or get smaller tires I think you will be unhappy. I wouldn't worry about the engine Remember your MPH is WAY off with those tires also.
  5. No problem, Let us know if you have questions.
  6. Just click the link I posted above this morning https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/general-cummins/86_axles-suspension-brakes_86/brake-hydrobooster-rebuild-r327/
  7. If you really torque the wiretap down it could cause issues.
  8. Most tuners fuel under the stock curve, which gives you more low end torque, which in turn gives you better MPG IF, BIG IF, you can keep your foot out of it. The more power you shove down low the more MPG you will get within reason. Not a bad price. You won't hurt anything by running it on 65 hp mode.
  9. The urls have changed. You can use the search function to find most everything still.
  10. Triple disc plays somewhat of a role, but shifting harshness and lockup harshness can be set in the VB
  11. Very similar. all the none wiretap boxes are very close to each other. smarty is the most aggressive, but still 65 hp;
  12. Talk to Dynamic about building you a VB that is less harsh
  13. sounds like you were happy with the hp number you have. I'd just get a cheap used Edge EZ for a few hundred if you are wanting the scangauge to work fully.
  14. Just loading the smarty turns on high idle. the smarty keeps that flash on the truck once you load it.
  15. I would say that you are nearing the end of useful life of the clutches in the trans. But if your truck had an easy life then I wouldn't worry much, You might do a band adjustment and verify you still have clutch surface on the bands. Use that as a rough indicator of tranny life.
  16. I have a Extech ex470 with IR http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/products.htm?item=EX470&ref=gbase&gclid=Cj0KEQjwiKS3BRCU-7XQ75Te3NoBEiQAA2t_xIMjleuCBgGCJfxsyUA2iXf0sef3ZcbnXxN-AhWOjX0aAlv78P8HAQ It does auto ranging etc so it is nice to use. Seems to about %50 of the cost a fluke with the same features. The IR proves useful when trying to sort issues like misfire etc.
  17. I really think we spend WAY to much time trying to GMO crops..... RATHER we should be trying to GMO pigs, splice in the DNA from a salamander that allows legs and stuff to grow back. Imagine the war free world we would have if you could walk out to the barn and use a razor to shave off some bacon from a pig each morning....... Back to reality , I need to have a heart to heart with our chickens and re-explain the "lay or die" slogan I painted in their coop. Production has been down for a week or so.
  18. The 2 lined solid and dot V section measurement is DC. The wavey V is the AC. I doubt that multimeter can read AC volts as low as you need to test.
  19. The TV cable is under the black plastic cover on the front drivers side of the engine. There is a cable that runs down to where your shifter linkage attaches to the tranny. One arm is for the shift select the other is the TV cable. use the Mopar1973man part number lookup tool Page: 472 part #23 https://mopar1973man.com/external-media/pdf/2000Ramparts.pdf#view=FitB&page=472
  20. excess fuel is still bled back to the tank even if the overflow is closed due to the way our injector system works. We have a return feed on the back of the head that the none used injection cycle fuel travels through . Idea behind 14 psi is, we know the vp44 uses fuel to cool and lube, so why not supply it with even more fuel. It takes approx 30 gph of fuel to power out trucks at WOT in stock form if you look at how much hp/tq our trucks make. So why remove that cooling at lube when it needs it most? If bosch says %30 for running and %70 for cooling then I am going to believe them. That being said after the did the 027 revision on the vp44 a lot of the common vp44 issues went %100 away. we are seeing newer vp44's last much much longer. If it doesn't hurt to run higher fuel pressure and gph why not ya know?
