Roger that, I'll keep the 15,19,25,28,30 with the 90%^ +2/+4 and rock on. Thanks!

I guess "send it" would be a good choice of words lol... I guess I'll try and quit worrying about it.... @Me78569 since I got my additional set of injectors 7x .011 sac, I was looking at the tune store would your daily tune work with my setup or perhaps @Mopar1973Man mpg tune? Your daily tune is roughly the only one that would be close to the same stuff I have mod wise...

So those retainers being up against the rocker like that prolly wouldn't have cause a tick or tap would it? I don't think it would, if it was bound up the plastic piece would have just broken off. What else can I check? I would say just drive it but you can really hear it more while driving interstate just cruising. Makes me paranoid!

https://youtu.be/z2AxqyZ7fgc Here's another snippet, pushed the little black plastic pieces down away from the rockers, moves freely now. What else besides taking it all apart? I'd have to completely pull everything apart to properly check, am I wrong?

I'll have to pull the valve cover back off again in the morning and check. Prolly try and get some pics. The PO put the dual springs in (not sure on lbs) I assume he used new hardware but who knows. Gonna run my overhead once AGAIN to verify the verify....

I just put new injectors in it, with the gracious help of dap. 7x.11 sac. And the 6x13s as back up. Not sure what to do about it? Something to worry about?

https://youtu.be/preFiev7Ask Made a video of valvetrain running. I'm pretty sure the tap or tick is towards the front, idk my hearing is shot. Does anything jump out at you sound wise?

Any thoughts on the injector line hypothesis? Talking with DAP currently about injectors. Trying to get the ball rolling again or some extra thoughts.

When we're chatting via text a few weeks back I did a compression test and it had good numbers, really good. Not to say something couldn't be wrong there but it's not pointing that way I believe. Maybe I'll have to buy another dang set of injectors just for this mess, I've swapped them idk how many times waiting in-between. See if dap will hook me up - Idk yet

Any more thoughts? I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and go with out a rig this week or 2 and pull injectors... idk what else to do now.

I'm gonna change out my turbo to downpipe v-band clamp, might have a suspect area idk yet. When I checked flow cause I didn't see pressure, had flow and didn't have any foam etc, however didn't have a looped clear tube to be more precise. Idk how many times I've done valve lash in the past couple of months, but I'm gonna do it again anyway. Idk if I should pop those injectors out anyway and get them testes and re popped at 320 bar. All my little points I made lead to injectors from what I can see?

Bump for some Sunday thoughts?

Dumb question, will vibrating or (over vibrating) lines cause any injection issues? Just a tid bit...The new line set I got didn't exactly line up with what I consider factory, the hardware mounts/locations are not factory either but I made it work regardless. Lines are very close to each other but I gentle massaged them to were there atleast not touching. I noticed today that I can hear what sounds like a syringe being pressed quickly making that hard squirt sound if that makes sense. Yes I know squirt/injection sa.e thing but this didn't sound right to me. I'll attach a sound clip, obviously capturing exact replicas of sounds is difficult to do but... #3 & #4 injection lines vibrate more and you can feel a harder pulse on them too... This makes me think once more that the injector are bad AGAIN! Idk?!?! I also can hear what sounds like a dud/light miss at around 2200 and also again at another rpm but I can't remember right now. This is with the quad on zero... This all falls in line with the noise I hear while driving interstate, sounds like timing but also sounds like valve issue or something or like a half working injector... If you can conjure up that noise/feeling in your head. Just too hard to describe. The quad in zero doesn't have any more smoke than my tune and still has some get up?!?! Why no more smoke with the absense of added timing, questionable... Fail on me I haven't chatted with the guy to do my ecu yet but in the works.... With that white smoke on start up and pretty good haze on startup there after for a bit if idling. Also to note AGAIN I haven't had any dark smoke like one would see with big injectors ever! Idk why but I think you would notice it should at some point............. Still haven't figured out timing... moved from 15, 19, 25, 28, 30 to 14, 18, 22, 26, 28... with no change really to speak of. I'll pay you to come tune it haha, even give you a place to stay. Lots to take in, main thing that could be an issue is bad injectors, tune already on ecu, valvetrain issues, lines, timing. Idk. Can't figure out how to separate the timing from valvetrain issues or valve for that matter. Anyway just an update please respond with any help! Recording_9.wav Edit: I forgot to mention that when you first start up that it sounds like normal for a revolution then drops down real low then picks back up, 20% of the time it might die---- ithimk this ties into the fuel pressure issue I'm having on gauge, injector bleeding off??? Also to add to this is the white smoke on startup, and the other issue mentioned previously. Am I crazy or does this chalk up to the injectors again? Like I've said previously the sounds I've heard way back in conversations all differ from injector sets going bad and intern being bad. Most noticeable sound now is heard around 2100-2200 rpm (loudest) but also heard all around...

I been thinking of getting into a gaming PC myself, ditching the PS4-5 units you have to buy every so often, comp you just upgrade. Definitely very interesting!

Stupid question, does fuel stretch matter if your not running a wire tap? What does matter in that (wire tap) section on the quad?

That's one of those tips to put in the tip section we were talking about I think it was @LorenS that mentioned it.

So todays drive into work wasnt to bad. Egts were pretty decent too, could be better but so far its manageable. My oil temp is still same as coolant temp, as @Mopar1973Mansays. oil temp should be lower than coolant for proper timing. The iQuad still is confusing no matter how many times I read it, its like everything affects another thing which affects another. Kinda planning 2 steps ahead lol. So which do you work first? Timing only - which band? Or max load, low psi reduct, reduct scaling - seems to be either 50% or 100% for most people? I attached a snippet from this mornings drive in, at the end I gave it some throttle too, egt buzzer didnt ding at me yay! lol. iQuad-2022-04-18-05.28.20-579684091[1].csv

It might just be the gauge going. This morning done some micro testing and had to key bump twice before it showed pressure at the gauge, somethings bleeding off? The pump runs at any point, there's no problem there. I just dont see pressure till I key bump a few times or the truck starts. Its something that just started happening maybe a week or so ago... That silly {upgraded} spring has disappointed me. Still at that solid 15 psi which is good but I wanted 16-17psi for security. Ill have to do what @Mopar1973Mansuggested and find some washers that will fit inside there. Im assuming opposite side of check ball, on fitting side...

Sorry @Tractorman it is from (ECM) main harness LP plug to relay, then relay to LP.

Well I found a contact to call this week about my ecu, so that's in the works. I fixed my wastegate issue for now. Got it set at 55psi. Made a nice setup with a regulator right at the turbo. Here is the wastegate rod issue I mentioned previously. I pried more on it but it still isn't what I'd like to have. Very limited space! I will be monitoring egts and boost numbers this week and see what happens. I need to figure out that knock or what ever it is. I think it's valve train but at the same time, I've had a different noise everytime I've changed injectors. Which leads me to believe with the egts and noise it could be injectors? I'd almost put money on it! Only under load and/or higher rpms. Been doing research on lifters, and valve train issues. If it's valves I'm screwed, either way I'd have to pull head to be certain on most of it...

The FASS system plugs into the factory LP plug. Pump is running when these tests were done. Gauge is mechanical also. I did another couple of bump tests this morning and wouldn't you know the gauge showed 15psi... seems to be intermittent now... I'll have to monitor this week and see. It has shown the previous symptom all last week.

Exactly what I was thinking. Lol

I guess while we're talking shocks, anyone ever run a dual front shock setup? I have seen them on some high class rigs, didn't know why or if it helped. Just curious...

I'm gonna do some more key bumps in the morning and check again, but this worries me... I should have a constant pressure not 0... I might tweak their "upgraded" spring (shouldn't have to do this @fass) and add a washer maybe, if this little issue gets solved.

I think I would still recommend getting that kit big tires or not. My tires are only 33". I bought it once and I'll never have to buy any steering stuff again, and it's bullet proof.
