Thanks ME. Ill start with that and start running.

Team, I have a 3500 miles drive starting tomorrow...thanks Covid normally I would have flown...I am doing a surprise inspection and check in on several facilities I manage. Starting South of Seattle tomorrow and probably going as East as Denver and then back through SLC and into CA and then back up to home. My truck is an 01 HO (6 speed) with a SO pump and 75 HP injectors and 3.55. It weighs some where in the neighbor hood empty 8500lbs maybe up to 9K. I am hoping for some guidance on building a tune over the next ten days for economy. Currently I am lucky to get 14mpg (i end up with trailer regularly so that may not be accurate for empty). Figure i'll set cruise at 70-75 mph and go from there. Fueling i believe I understand fairly decently but the timing is what scares me, probably because i don't understand it well. Any suggestions on where to start on the timing end. My tuner (Android tablet) is out in the truck otherwise id go pull it and rattle off what i currently use every day which i think i have set more for always having a load. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Or specific parts of the 41 page tunning guide which i have skimmed some of. Thanks again Rob

So knock on wood the issue hasn't returned....who knows i am about two tanks from when it was going on so did i get some bad fuel, was there an issue with the Quad (my suspicion) or something completely else. Thanks for the help, and if it comes back ill fire the thread up again.

so been running for about a week and the problem hasn’t returned since plugging it back in. Maybe something wasn’t quite hooked in or connecting. we shall see. ME you said a degree or two more at 1500. Would that be for a everyday tune or a tow tune. With that truck weights 8500lbs due to bed and stuff that lives on it.

So I had already unplugged the unit before I read your guys notes. Did about a 200 mile round trip with no Quad and no issues. Plugged it back in this morning and no issues on the way to work. So will have to continue testing.

ME thanks for looking at my data. Greatly appreciate it. IVe got a 200mile drive I have to do today thinking about just unplugging it and see if the issue continues. Eliminate all the other issues. ive been running it on level 5 (think of 8 or 10). also someone brought up coolant temp and power back down. From the setting I can tell it’s turned off.

I am getting it to do it now however it appears the quad only captures about 3 seconds worth of data is that correct? Ok here is one of the first pulls that i hope i captured it on. 2nd to 4th gear shift multiple jerks in 4th. 2Quad 2-4G multiple Jerks iQuad-2020-04-11-08.50.537705731712704236697.csv I dont have gear for this one however my comment is "good blurp under 1500rpm" in my email. 8Quad ?G good blurp under 1500 iQuad-2020-04-11-09.16.153972404796377544136.csv This one says 2 to 3 gear shift "multiple jersk" 3Quad 2-3G multiple jerks iQuad-2020-04-11-08.55.263300546661535170948.csv Truck bio is correct, to my knowledge. adrenline, 75hp (DAP), some kind of air filter (fresh in the last 10-15K) Fresh fuel filters in the last 10-15K.

So first thing i did was check battery cables. Both positives were barely loose but still moved so both got tightened down. Then I retightened the power line to the quad. five minutes of driving and I can’t get it to the issue to re occur to a very noticeable existent. However it maybe there. changing to my tune to see if it does it now. this hole thing has been pretty hit and miss though.

My 01 Dodge 6speed is stuttering between 1350-1600 RPMs periodically. Its occurs under acceleration, typically at about 1450 RPM give or take 75 RPM. Never seen it happen above about 1600RPM. Its like a loss of power for about the count of .5 of one. Enough to know it occurred and then its back to normal. It seems to happen in the first 30 minutes of run time while the truck is still cold or cool. Fuel filters are new in the past 6 months (probably less then 10k miles) and its been occurring through at-least five tanks of fuel. I have re loaded my Quad Adrenaline tune and that does not seem to have an affect, i have also changed from my tune to the default and that seems to have no change. My plan next is to disconnect my adrenaline and see if the issue goes away, then if it persist fuel filters. Any other ideas? I think my adrenaline is between 1 and 3 years old.

Really. I kept pulling timing down because of concerns with the truck getting hot. But now I am thinking that may have been the fact the air filter was plumb full of crap. Havnt pushed the timing forward/up at all with since the new air filter

Before I put the flatbed on truck weighted over 8k with the flatbed I’m at about 8.5k. Steel bumper (it’s saved me on a couple of deer, it can’t be that heavy two guys picked it up and I bolted it into place 10 plus years ago) plus tools and assorted other “stuff” adds up I guess. So drove roughly 100 miles most of the time o was monitoring the oil was 10 higher then the coolant. Coolant never got above 180-185 though. Goal at for this tune is to have a good 2k trailer plus what ever I put on it so probably up to 10k trailer and load.

Very cool will have to look at the maintenance tracker. So I installed the trans temp into the oil filter. I am about 10-15 * higher on the oil then on the trans. This is my tow tune however no trailer currently. Truck weighs about 8500lbs. So is my timing set to high. (I am working on a couple of data logs. Current timing 1500 14.5 2000 17.5 2500 20.5 3000 22.5 max 24 thanks Sitting idling, for about ten minutes I am at: timing 15.21 oil 192 coolant 181 egt 272

What app are you using to track maintenance. Can you run multiple cars on it and fuel mileage.

So little embarrassed on this one. Coming back from Spokane this last week I was thinking and realized maybe it was an air issue. So I pull over and sure enough I can reach into the cold air intake box and remove the pre filter (little sock thing over the filter) it was caked just absolutely grody. Once that was off egt probably dropped by 200*. So ive ordered a fresh filter and I am not sure I will be putting the pre filter back on...after cleaning it of course. So once that that all gets maintained I will get back to tuning. Which is good because in about two weeks I have to move a car over some mountains as well. Still embarrassed that my air filter was/is that bad.

Yeah went for a drive got the inside of the truck cooled down and then turned the tablet on. Got everything fixed. So probably heat and the tablet.
