Sounds like your map sensor is not working well.

Good injector combo for edge users!
Me78569 replied to Tittle Diesel Performance's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge Reliability / Performanceprob not I am guessing the edge reads a lot of stuff form the data link. give it a try though

Tuning help
Did you follow the tuning guide / how to? Key to mileage is getting timing in the 18-20* range at cruise state.

Mine was like that too... never did have much issue with it.

Crappy Mileage No Matter What Tune
This isn't tune related. Load is too high to get good mileage, assuming it wasn't windy and it was realitively flat.
-
Crappy Mileage No Matter What Tune
It could be. Dullies + flat bed surfaces and light bar. If the datalog was taken driving into the wind that would also account for the higher load.

Still not my recommended method, but it doesn't look too bad. I still recommend spending the extra $100 and retrofitting projectors.

Crappy Mileage No Matter What Tune
Your load is awful high at cruise state. That tells me it is taking more power than normal for your truck to move down the road at 65.

I'd be curious to see some shots against a tall wall at 40', but this is what people mean when they say " scattering light".

Whats the beam look like at 40'?

330IT Mom wagon project
Replaced the steering coupler this today. I can say that the old one was really bad resulting in the car jumping around on different surfaces and shimming on deceleration. I am kinda thinking the front end was fine, but oh well.

No, we don't give advice that is not the best soluton. you can choose to follow the advice or take your own path, but we are not going to recommend a subpar solution. No different that recommending $5 ball joints from Autozone, it's just not good to do.

Morimoto HIDs Headlights in a 2nd Generation Dodge
Please do it right and install projectors. I keep harping on it because it is important. Hids throw a TON of light, that light needs to be controlled. "Aiming them down" is not the solution. Why bother spending all that money to just light up the 15' in front of you? That glowing review is due to the optics of the d2s lense. Keep in mind the projector is bulb specific. You cant run a d2s bulb in a mini h1 projector and the other way around.

you cannot use HID/Xenons in a halogen reflector, period you need projectors if you dont want to scatter light.

Cummins CAN bus messages
Cold trucks idle up to 19* of timing. Idle of 15* happens if you let the truck sit to long. warm trucks idle at ~12-13* I wish I could help more, but I signed my life away to hold the secrets of the code.

First Power Upgrades
You really need to drive a truck with a quad and good sized injectors. Egt's are not a result of injectors they are a result of bad tuning. I could put my foot to the floor with 7 x .012's towing my horse trailer climbing a grade in OD locked TC with rpms falling and EGT's wouldn't top 1300*f. Keep in mind that oem tuning asks for %88 of possible duration in stock form. however only asks for ~25-26* of timing. adding timing up top to the max of 30* really brings down egt's I don't recommend using the temp backdowns, your tune should not put you in a situtation where you need them. Here is a datalog of my lugdown towing test in pretty much the worst conditions possible with the most overly fueled setup possible. a hx35 + 7 x .010's is about a perfect fix with a quad. Talk to MonsterMaker on Cummins forum, he is running that setup and wishes he went with bigger injectors. and yes his truck is a work truck that tows. It is easy to overspeed the hx35 turbo with 7 x .010's without tuning. You throw a bunch of fuel at it and then the turbo gets out of it's map and you are stuck with egt issues. if you control fueling down load to prevent "slingshooting" the turbo out of it's map you don't have that issue.

First Power Upgrades
tc and vb would be my recommendation, a good single disc will hold anything the hx35 do without overfueling. Get the adr and some 7 x .010's. I am not even sure you will need wiretap honestly. the hx35 can handle 7 x .010's + a touch of wiretap, but I dont get the feeling that you are goinng be to concerned about peak power gains.

First Power Upgrades
are you planning on upgrading your trans ( vb and tc at the very least)? If yes then keep reading, if no then keep it stock. I would honestly put 150's in not 100's if you plan on updating the trans. the hx35 is really happy with 7 x .010's and a good tune. Then if you ever plan on going with a bigger turbo you won't be underfueled. Personally I think a s300 with 100's is underfueled. The quad will use you 0 psi setting if it is below %100 when in warmup mode. so when it is cold you won't have smoke or issues.

The Future of Trucks
Free market drives innovation. I am happy to see tesla's ugly truck because it pushed ford and gm to produce something. Rivian is also there. We want innovation it makes things better. Gen 1's are not great but they get better. Throw money and markets towards it and they better quickly.
