  1. all my tats are self-inflicted from high school still have the home-made gun somewhere in the attic. just a piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten, grew out of it though and have no intrest in it anymore. i can only imagine the thoughts off all those high school girls that had to have my artwork on them with-out there parents permission.
  2. im slightly past the 20 year mark by a few years but i will appologize for i am one of the block out the sun smokers:tongue: but admiting you have a problem is the first step to recovery right?
  3. sounds like a fuel restriction in the pick-up assembly
  4. kinda off subject but dude how did you get the smiliey to work on truck?
  5. thoughts about 44 timing-- hmmm i say keep turning it up till it drops a valve, back it off a couple degrees and lock her down!!!!!
  6. i miss my standards, im scarred to death to floor my auto carrying a heavy load its built up and still feels like to much slip to me, oh well still very convienent in city unloaded!
  7. you would probably be suprised at how much chassis flex is actually in these trucks especially concidering the wheel base, to crack a small cross member while towing heavy or getting the truck in a bind over a life time is probably not that uncommon
  8. isx do you realize how close that is to showing a video of what happens to a compressor wheel turning at a million or so rpm being acted upon by a small piece of road debris and the subsequent aftermath.
  9. it was probably clean through the 44, then a small compression leak at the injector will soot the hell out of it on its way back to the tank.
  10. if you replaced any trailing arm bushings ive found that if there torqued down while the suspension is sagging i.e. tire off the ground, the bushing will bind when set down and cause mystery pops.
  11. well in my mind if the valves are jamed its probably metal contamination which will have collected at the orfice tube which is right in the line by the condensor on a 1500, real easy to remove,inspect, clean and reinstall.
  12. it looks to me that there is no resistance to flow, i try to keep mine at 35 low and about 250 high, my money is on a orfice tube that is blowed out not just a failed compressor
  13. well ill have to find one acurate or not if it will light up i would like to have it up there. thanks m.m.
  14. i noticed when installing a switch in my overhead that the wiring harness for the display was in the overhead even though my truck didnt come with it soooooo. can i plug one in and will it work or will the ecm or pcm have to be programed i assume the twisted pair will send the info but i dont know if the display interpets and displays or if another computer is sending the info and its just a displaying. mpg display would be nice.
  15. ''speed kills when coming down the mountain'' i have a sand rail that i would love to run down that course though, kinda like the pikes peak hill climb, although ide probably have to rejet the carbs half trip
  16. this might be just coincidence but i had a wobble in my rear end for a few months and could not isolate it until i let my buddy borrow my truck to tow a porsche to north ms. he brought back and told me there was a bad vibration in the truck and he feared going over 55 mph on the return trip. i laughed and said the vibration had been there for quite som time. went to the store and though the dash was fixing to fall off it was shaking so bad. got out and could see a broken belt in the tire, i had just balanced these tires and didnt see it. changed tires and shot down the freeway 95 mph and smooth as glass. is the rear end making any howling noises or clunking when changed from forward to reverse?
  17. grounding the ecm case on a cummins does not ground the ecm circuit board this is done through ground wires in the harness connector.:banghead:
  18. if your hub bearings are not showing signs of slack i would say leave them alone if money is tight. adjustable ball joints are for alignment adjustments on modified suspensions, if your stock then stock will do. yes the hub usually comes with wheel sensor.
  19. time to scan for data link failure codes and see which computers are still on line and which are non responsive, might be a simple fuse or chaffed wiring causing communication failure. i find if all the computers ecm, pcm, abs, and icu are not on a constant confrence call with each other the vehicle will enter limp mode.
  20. bodily harm is no reason not to give your all when showing the viewers a cool a-s video man.
  21. get mopar man to shoot one on full acceleration coming down the mountain that should show a fast speedo needle.
  22. people get dedicated boost gauges for this reason but ive never installed a dedicated sensor for the edge, the box wires between the stock harness and sensor capturing the signal from sensor and reinterpeting to the ecm.
  23. extra boost is created from more fuel, higher exhaust temp and faster exhaust expansion speed, but then you hit the waste gate so that has to be modified to hold more pressure. yes a 24v ecm measures boost through the manifold pressure sensor or boost sensor. this signal is stolen from the ecm and parameters are changed to fool the ecm into seeing less boost and as a result more fuel is added. i hit the hight exhaust temps. before anything else so a limiting factor will always present itself.
