Have you gone to a big city with that thing yet Russ? I just went to Kansas City and holy crap! I would get close to a mess and it would tell me which lane to be in and which to stay in and everything. I had to go to a part I had never been in for a job and the 3D thing makes it 10x easier than then 2D crap. Just incredible! I like how this one also shows the road your currently on as well as the road you'll be on next.

Dang!

If it were a perfect world and you used half of 35 gallons to go 200 miles, thats only 11.42mpg. Our gauges like to go up and down at different rates, like mine stays on F for up to 200 miles..then slowly goes to 1/2 and stays there for 200 miles, then spends 200 miles going slowly to 1/4, then spends 200 miles on E. I would not go by the gauge for MPG, top it off, drive it, top it off again and see what you get.

You guys are wearing out my pics or something , didn't work on mine today either! I saved the pic instead of linking to it so now it should work. I changed everyones links if they quoted the pic that didn't work.

Yeah I will drag my laptop with me before I try and do anything on a phone Thanks for the offer though!

It's not because I painted my 5spd chevy orange haha, his is red. I still see it, try restarting your browser. Mine likes to do that if I leave it open too long.

Probably why the CR's don't have them anymore. Nothing but something to leak oil.

I can't believe how hard it is to find something on the pushrod setup. Everything youtube and google is overhead! Did manage to find exactly what you need though. So here we go John, the rockers on the valves are pushing by something.. they are pushed by the pushrods (I'll be damned right haha) the pushrods go into the lifters (tappets), the lifters are on top of the cam lobes so when the cam has a lobe, it pushes the lifter and therefore the pushrod up, and that teters the rocker teter totter, opening the valves. When the cam lobe passes, the valve springs push the rocker back up, pushing the pushrod and the lifter back down, so there is always pressure on that cam. Got it? Let me know if you dont.

Here's what I'm thinking...

How much power does it add? How much power does that edge juice add? What else does it do in comparison with the juice you had?

Yes, 10 intake 20 exhaust. http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/valve-adj/valve-adj.htm

That was industrial electricity then generators with a crash course of diesel engines.. We took an 8.3 completely apart and I remember everything but never saw any tappet cover, I don't think they had them. The CR's don't have them either. There is a difference between knowing what is under it and seeing what is under it. That's why I keep taking things off my truck. I know what stuff should look like, but I want to see it for myself so I am not working off of some "should look like" picture in a book. Most of the time it isn't even a picture but more a sketch of the engine kinda a diagram I guess, those are completely worthless to me. They will get you by, some more than others, but nothing compares to a real world picture.

I would get rid of all my gauges for that thing. So John, is it possible to do that on a laptop? I figure if it's an app for a phone there has to be a program for it for the laptop as well. Then the wifi is also in the laptop so good there. I got to thinking and it would be neat if something showed a spreadsheet of all the parameters your monitoring, as many as you could put on there and still be able to see. Then set limits but not limits that actually change any settings on the engine, just limits for your own sakes so the numbers will turn red when they get out of your comfort zone. Then since you had so many up that you could barely read them, it would automatically enlarge the red one to most of the screen so you could read it easily and after 10 seconds (since you now notice it) have it scale down to maybe 1/4 of the screen so you can see if something else is effecting it that just happens to be in the comfort zone. If 2 or more are red it would just split them up, so 4 reds would just bring all of them each to 1/4 part of the screen. In that case I would say you better just pull over

After finding absolutely nothing on the internet for what is under that cover and lots of people wondering including myself, I put Smokeythedodge to the task of getting some pics since he has that 24V just sitting out there. He came through in a big way taking a lot of pics. You can see the pushrods going down right into the top of the lifter/tappet. You can see that some lifters are up and some are down because some are on the cam lobe. Also gives you a sense of why you have to jam dowel rods into the lifters and pull them all up if you want to pull the cam out, otherwise the lifters that are down would hit each lobe of the cam. Thanks again Smokey!

Here's what doesn't add up with "where Mike lives". He has no cell phone service where he lives... So on this list: What happens if you forget your iPhone at home or the office? Are you without gauges? No reason to take it out of the truck since you have no service. How about if your phone rings? How do you talk on the phone and watch your gauges? Won't ring if you have no service. How about if the battery dies in your phone? Your without gauges again? Because you have no service and will just leave it in the truck, it will have a car charger.

He has a real fuel pressure gauge. You can get by without the rest. I think most people know when their EGT gets out of hand and how to keep it under the limit. I could probably get rid of mine and tell you exactly where EGT is all the time. He also has a real trans temp gauge. Thought he had a 3rd but don't remember what it was. Another thing, 12V people live without that lol, so it's not like the phone messing up is the end of the world. I can put EGT/Boost/Fuel pressure on mine if I want, beyond that, not really anything. I would say if you were pulling a trailer you wouldn't pull it out of park without an EGT gauge and I am sure John knows this. In other words, I don't see any problem with it. If I had my way I would drag the whole laptop with me everywhere with all that on it.

This might be what your looking for. http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/maintenance/maintenance.htm Also has capacities if you need them. http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/fluids/fluids.htm Remember to add the friction modifier stuff.

That's wayyyyy too fancy :lol:I don't get what it does with wifi. Are there no wires between the cab and engine and it just has a wireless sending unit thinger in the engine compartment?
