Thanks....I have really enjoyed working and driving this old work horse.

Gents, A few years ago I ... ok a really good friend of mine who is a wizard of a mechanic helped/did a lot of it... we stuffed a 4BT into a 71 Ford. We ended up doing a lot more then just the engine. Dana 44 out of a 78 F250 (disk brakes) Power steering box out of a 78 Power brakes using the chev bread van hydro boost 5 speed from a 90s ford with a mated 205. About all thats original is the body, frame, and dana 60 rear. I tried my hand at Youtube and still post videos from time to time. I think i am up to 8 videos, some of them are probably a little boring. My future plane is to actually tune the pump to decrease smoke and hopefully increase power. I am also thinking about flatbed-ing it this winter. Thought I would share.

Thanks for the lesson. I think my biggest problem is i don't know the basics on how the timing works. I know hire timing at continuous low throttle like cruising increase MPG. However where my knowledge is poor is what is dangerous and when and what creates more power. I have a lot of reading to do to get educated. Thanks. I did some comparison of the injector numbers and figured that those mid tunes were for 100hp plus trucks which put my 50hp right in the middle. Once again thanks for wverything your doing. I can't wait to get back home and start learning.

I've been traveling a lot, 8 out of the last 9 weeks in LA (by the way I hate LA). I got the Adrenaline last Friday which was the first day id been home in 3 weeks, then left Monday morning to go back. I didn't get a whole lot of time to play with it but I had to have the fuel on the CAN bus way up to get smoke, i believe outside the green area. Pretty excited to get home and play with it this weekend. Like i said before I really don't understand the timing portion but i think i understand the fuel portion. So i will most definitely be posting up what i find do and find for your advice.

Sorry ME know this is a pretty basic question, what would be a better starting point the Stock tunes or the mid injector tunes for 50HP DAP?

Sounds good. I really like how we can be so controlling of the truck. Really appriciate the work you and others have been doing. ME The injectors you have on your truck those are about 75hp right? Also do you have head studs? Are your tunes pretty safe to run on a 50hp, so pump'd, no other improvement 01 HO? Ive been reading however I am not 100% confident on the timing portion yet so I am leary of messing with things I don't totally understand yet.

I got my Quad on Friday...of course i am leaving town again and had a very long list of honey dues so didn't get any further then installing it on the truck. ME, the fuel milage update, will that be another gauge to watch or what? Will i have to install more sensors, (i am a cheap sob). I am really impressed with how much data the Quad can pull with just a few wires being plugged in. CanBus, wire tap, egt, ignition, power, ground, and we have mph, rpm, load, tps, and egt, pretty amazing.

That's frustrating it's a brand new alternator.

Moparman, when we tested the truck we got .049. I installed the remain ABS and that fixed the ABS issues. The truck started loosing power then having it come back on hard. Which I have experienced before with my first box (edge ez). So I unplugged the quad xzt+. Have been traveling so haven't been able to drive the truck.

I saw that after I posted the message so we know the first time I did it in the video I was flat wrong. This time at the shop, the mechanic did it somewhere from the alternator to the alternators case. I read him the instruction above and he immediately understood and did it. So I am fairly confident the test was done right.

Alright stopped on my way home tonight and ask my mechanic to help me for a second. He is an older guy and when I said AC noise he groaned and said I haven't heard of that in years. We did did the test and it measured .049. Now that is a new alternator. I tried to do the test with the awhile ago. I have no idea if the alternator in this clip is the old or the new on. Any opinions on any of this. Going to pull the ABS unit and send it to Moscow ID for a rebuild this weekend. Any opinions on the ECU or the rec issue? Thx

I know this sounds stupid but can someone guide me to a couple of good options for a DVM? Probably will be going the amazon route. Also does anyone have experience with any of the ECU and or ABS rebuilders?

Anyone have any more thoughts on this? My ABS and Brake lights went on a day ago. I parked in a parking lot and turned the truck off...the ABS Module was humming away under the hood when i got out. Its a loud not good hum. I disconnected it and plugged it back in 10 minutes later with the key off and started humming again. This will be the second ABS Module in call it 50,000 miles. Truck still periodically revs up and then dies. I also got some codes a few days ago. p0237 MAP Sensor P1691 Like i said in an earlier post i have a brand new PCM and Alternator. The old Alternator was the original and probably had really bad AC noise however it was replaced due to it not always charging the truck. I have to locate a voltmeter good enough to read the AC voltage noise....i also am going to have to educate myself at the same time on how to set the voltmeter up correctly, electricity is one thing i am a little dull on.

Truck got a new PCU/PCM and an Alternator not long ago. Besides the XZT+ and an extra set of lights there are no other electronic add-ons. I will have to get a good voltmeter from a friend. Mine doesn't read low enough to do AC noise. Kent

no cel, cheap code reader doesn't pull anything last time i check. I dont have a scan tool.

I originally posted this on Cummins Forum, any thoughts or ideas would be very helpful. Truck very intermittently (probably twice in the last month), typically in traffic, at low RPM and low throttle input will start rev ing up to about 2200 RPM and then die. If I immediately try to restart it it will not catch. If i turn the key off and let it sit for a 10 seconds or so it will start back up no issue. So low RPM, low throttle pressure it will start pulling, it will gradually pull until about 2200 RPM and then die. Manual truck so once i notice the issue i push the clutch in, once i push the clutch in it will rev to up to about 2200 RPM over about two seconds time period.Several months ago i had numerous electronic issues which this was one of them. Replacing the PCU/PCM (cant remember which one it is on this one) and the alternate, seemed to fix a no bus issue, and voltmeter periodically flat-lining. Topic was covered in this thread: No Bus & Voltage Gauge Dropping Off & Periodic Revving and then Die-ing No Bus & Voltage......All of those issues have gone away except the rev ing issue. XZT+ is still hooked up, but will probably un plug it in the coming days. Truck has had a Timbo app on it for 100,000 miles probably. Gut tells me it has something to do with that but i ask for your advice. 2001 Dodge Cummins HO (Six Speed) So Pump, XZT+, timbo apps.
