I had a fan belt make that noise at idle and you could feel it thru the steering. Dont know how it did it but replaced belt and it went away.

Good luck and be smart. We'll pray for ya

I cant belive it it was only 96 today and cloudy. Some people got rain, of course not here but it did rain somewhere. Tomorrow it's right back to 104. yea

Well there wont be any smarty till Tuesday, I went out to install and the smarty brought up a error saying something about program not there or some weird stuff. I call him and he said he tryed to give me some updates and they may have not down loaded right, and he wont be bake from the truck meet in Missouri till Tuesday.

Yea but I cant wait:lmao: I gota get some fuel mileage going on. From two people Ive talked to say level 3, 60hp with timing. What is the diff between timing and no timing, because level 4 is no timing, I think, could be the other way around not sure.I hear level 7 is a lot of smoke, I really dont wont to ____ people off when in traffic:rolleyes:. I guess I just need to go plug it in and see what happens. :pray:Trans. just please hang in there for a few days and the new will be over with:lmao:in a day or two, or three, or four.

Which level should I run, and should I run timing? What diff is it timing or not? My truck is all stock. I am about to try it and just wont input. Thanks

I ran air bags on a truck back in the mid 80s and hated every min. of it. Air bags multiply the shock with stiffer air as the impact incresses and pogo stick back up. Thats how it was explained to me, the timbrens are suposed to absorb impact with out increase the shock. When you go around a left hand corner the left shock gives a push up and makes it fill like it's tipping over effect.No air lines to fool with no air leaks no shock seals leak.

No luck, I triedCould be my lovely vista computer

There registration wont take my pass word.

Tembrens man, the only way to go. Air bags are a false feeling of the road, tembrens hands down for me anyway.

I found a smarty sr6 I beleave thats what he called it. And I think from what I hear its a good all round programer, I am not looking to hot rod but it dont hurt puttin a Chevy in he's place every now and then.He is asking 500.00 for it. Is this a fair price?

Well we broke a record today that was set back in 1923, 70 days of 100 plus degree days. The forcast the rest of this week is 106 :cry:We have only had 6" of rain sence Feb. 26, the grass makes a cracking noise like walking on snow. This drought makes the on in 09 seem like nothing.Just 2 miles from my house is a military base and they started a wild fire that burned up 1500 acres. Thank goodness no houses where lost. What ticks me off is it burned out of any kind of control for 6 hours before the military started tracking dozers to build fire breaks. And would not let the fire dept. in to do anything. It was finaily under control 15 hours later. It took 6 hours before the forest service got a plane down here then after two drops he left and was not seen again untill day light. I helped save a friends farm equiment till 9:00pm when the wind started blowing my way. I came home to neighbors moving horeses, cattle anything worth anything and leaving. I looked at the wife and said were it. Started the water sprinklers and prayed, 2:00am the wind started blowing it back in the direction it came from.Well 6 days later they start another fire, it only burned about 100 acres, then 10 days later they start another fire, it was just under 250 acres. Guess what they call them selves doing, cleaning up old ammo that didnt go off. Well the fire should have helped them out, you think.:lmao:I find it hard to love my gov. these days:mad:This is the second time they have almost burned us out. The first time was in 09 when we had our last drought.Just needed to vent, hope your day is ok:)

Run it in my 4030 90 hp JD, 1oz to the gal and it quites the injection pump way down. If you ever heard a JD injection pump clater you know what I am talking about. I dont know if it hurts the injection pump to clater the way it does or not but it cant be good for it, I think.

I am with ya on the sink or swim. Go to there country and see what happens. Here ya go try this, go down the DMV and ask for a handy cap sticker.

Can not find anything on efi for diesel.

Ok what about turning off the number of injector spray? Have you heard this?

What are the diff between the two?

I dont know which to go with, I like the smarty I think, I heard you can shut off two of the three times the injectors spray.What programmer do you run? I am looking to get fuel mileage.I do not have gauges yet, I guess that depends on programmer.

AMEN brother, when someone told me the govt want's you to depend on them I thought nah that cant be right. Ask me today. I see it all the time.You want to see your tax dollars hard at work come down to Tx and watch the county and the city watering plants in big flower pots all over town in a new 2k gal. water truck wasting water in a drought. The county bought trees at 1k a pop installed and 3 of them are dead and I bet you anything the rest will be dead by spring of next year.Sorry I got carried away. lolHow come the icons dont work?

What is involved in a leak down test on CR? --- Update to the previous post... Sorry but I found this in another fourm, I think it makes some good points. [TABLE=class: tborder, align: center] [TR] [TD=class: thead][/TD] [TD=class: thead, align: right] [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: alt2, width: 175] [/TD] [TD=class: alt1]only go with the g56. the auto will cost you 1 mpg and many thousand dollars of upgrade and maintenance. the 06 has a dual mass flywheel that has to be changed out to a southbend conofe get a bd exhaust brake and a maxbrake or smartbrake controller. you can get a 40% increase in mpg by getting rid of the in-cylinder egr. if you do the above it will make the best tow truck you will ever own. read the following paste for the egr. Your truck uses in- cylinder egr for smog reduction. They also extend fueling duration and retard the timing to keep peak heat and pressure down. Since the third injection pulse is so late in the cycle the egt is very hot compared to a 03 but the peak temp where the no is formed is actually lower. i will try to keep it simple, the cam exhaust lobe is ground to leave burnt exhaust gas in for the next cycle. change the cam to a pdr or colt. the hamilton is ground more for kids who are after power, we just want low end torque and mpg. change or hone the nozzles to ddp 50 hp. get a smarty jr leave the torque and timing set on default and on tow or sw2 as it is called. get a fbd turbo back straight pipe kit 5". get a m090072 resonator and a m090535 muffler and 4 clamps from ryder truck parts. for the first one i did it took me 5 hours. after about the 10th one i can do it in about 3 hours. it takes longer to remove the old one than you think. i install them by my self and you do not need any special tools. i have my own shop and change the cams and nozzles here. you will probably have to pay labor. do the nozzle change at the same time as cam to save labor.. use the left over pipe to extend the exhaust out further to keep the fenders cleaner. from ah64id There is no external EGR on any 5.9. The 04.5-07 meet the 04 emissions by utilizing "in-cylinder" EGR. The 4 big ways this was done was cam, pistons, timing, and turbo. The cam lobes are timed so that the intake is a longer duration, and the exhaust is very short (shorter than any other Cummins in a Dodge) and the exhaust closes sooner to keep more gasses in the cylinder, this decreases combustion temp. The pistons are a non-reentrant design and don't promote as good of air movement and combustion, again reducing peak combustion temps (and makes the pistons really easy to melt) The timing is retarded to again reduce peak cylinder pressure and combustion temps, and to raise the EGT's to help the Cat work. The Turbo has a very inefficient tubrine wheel and small housing, this provides backpressure on the manifold to again reduce the exhast scavanging effect. The 03-04 actually has the same cam, and the turbine is even smaller, but its the combo of the timing and the pistion in the 04.5-07's that completes the effect. Personally I have changed my cam, use the Smarty Jr for timing, and will be swapping turbo's this spring.. should help clean up my oil, combustion, and power... thou it will increase the NOx effects. flat lander it gets very confusing on the 04.5 up with the in-cylinder egr. they delayed timing, lengthend duration and added a very late 3rd pulse this was done to keep peak pressure and peak cylinder temp down but because the fuelling is so far away from tdc the egt's appear way hotter than previous models but in actuality it is lower than previous models on the pistons. for us that want better mpg we reverse engineer the process and as we do we see the egt drop knowing we are bringing piston temp up. with the smarty jr on default tow you will have both lower egt and piston temp than earlier models. you desparatly need to change your cam to a pdr or colt and get you some 50 hp nozzles from ddp. this will gain you 6 mpg and the lowest egt once the nozzles are on you need to go back to the economy setting. the 50 hp from the nozzles is kind of a unwanted byproduct of shortning the fuelling duration. with 40 hp from the jr and 50 from the nozzles it fits the air you have and is better than stock on the engine. some posting on here like to play and their requirements are different 150 hp nozzles drastically shortens duration to where the main or 2ond pulse injects the fuel just over tdc where the pressure is highest and the most efficient work is done but also produces the most piston temp. because the fuel burns longer the egt appears lower. we tow very heavy and have many drivers. we can not have a truck set up that you have to drive by a pyrometer. some of our older trucks have at or over 1,000,000 miles on them all of our 06's are set up this way except the one in my sig i added enough air to use tow setting. bigwheels 94 gave a good explanation on the stick timing vs size __________________ 063500dually4X4qcg56,dynatrac,bd exhaust brake,donaldson m090535muffler,cfm+,winspeed spacer,smartyjr,taylor wings,luberfiner bypass filter,psm cold air,cool hose,tag,air tab's,pdr cam,ddp50hp injectors,htt 62 65 13ss,ss manifold, turbo and manifold blankets [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] d good anyway

When I brought it home just under 200 mile trip is when I got 15mpg and running 60-65. I am slow as grand pa driving around town. I have no idea what it should be getting. If there is something wrong what could it be, injectors? I know when you get into it it will roll smoke like it has bigger inj. but it's all stock.When I changed the fuel filter it had some trash in it but not really bad, I cleaned it all out and put the bladwin filter in. What about the injectors on these trucks, how do you know if they are washed out? I mean it's only got 41k on it.And yes on the hand cal.

I am thinking the same thing. The truck is like new, 41k on it. I dont have any gauges yet. It is still under warrenty (drive train) I wonder if injectors and fuel system would fall under that?

Running HWY only 15.2 in town only 13.2 Do these numbers sound low?
