I’m sure the “New green deal” will be great just like every other democrat plan and idea! 🤪

I’d add more fuel on the bottom end. You should be able to start your canbus fueling closer to 100%. Unless you are having a lot of black smoke off the line. Load psi I’d change from 1 to 3 as well.

We need some wet stuff to fall around here. Been pretty dry.

I’ve been running Dap injectors for awhile now. No complaints. Truck runs great!

Had to zoom in on my phone. Late night eyes. Lol Try load timing 2 low psi 5 scaling % 50.

Post your tune. If there is little to no smoke add 1 across the canbus fueling until takeoff and smoke is acceptable.

I put 5100’s on mine a couple of years ago I don’t remember what I took off. The truck did ride a little rougher. What has helped with softening the ride for me is when I’m not towing I put 60psi in the front and 45psi in the back. I also took the rear sway bar off when I installed the Timbrens.

I just purchased from Geno’s the Gates tensioner with green belt combo. Pretty cheap compared to around here. The tensioner said made in Turkey. It’s actually my second tensioner. The other one made in China didn’t last long. It started chirping. Especially when it was cold. No more noise now. My truck has 271,000 on the clock.

The Quadzilla will get its boost reading from the ECM from the comport. From what I understand it’s not to accurate. I’ve never compared the two. The EGT probe is only necessary if you’re using the defuel or turbo cool down feature. Your apillar fuel pressure gauge is best. As well as the rest. That way you won’t have to run with your head unit on all the time. As far a building a tune you would go into settings and tap on custom tuning.

I was told you adjust it so your 1-2 gear change at WOT is between 2,800-2,900 rpms. That’s how I adjusted mine and it works fine.

Does the WTS light come on as soon as you turn the key on? Have you tested for AC noise? Have you done the W-T ground reference mod?

Mine did the same thing after I installed a 5 amp fuse. I was in town though. Dropped in the 7.5 that you recommended. Haven’t had another issue. That was probably a couple years ago. BTW thanks! Glad it was a simple fix. Those are my favorite!

Thank you for your service.

It sounds like we agree with each other.

Take off from a stop. Towing. Not a power brake. Lol For me just regular driving. I’ll rephrase. My normal take offs and in town driving is much better at 15 degrees timing than 13. My timing band is 15,19,23,27 max 30. Light load 2*. With winter fuel with more ceatane I will drop 1* on each band and see how it runs.

Interesting. Once I went to 15 mine quit bucking in drive cruising at 30. With my EGT’s around 400. Now in OD I would still get some bucking below 35 But around town driving I always have OD off. Less load and lower EGT’s. With my smaller tires For testing purposes I’ll have to try with OD on.

In my case there was a noticeable difference in launching between 13 and 15 degrees in timing. With my timing reduction settings at 13 it would drop somewhere between high 10’s and 11’s. Now at 15 it will drop to high 12’s. My truck launches much better at 15 than 13. I didn’t notice much difference when I had it set at 13 with reduction set at 3 at 50%. And 15 at 5 at 50%. My fueling is at 100% till around 9 or 10 psi. And maxes at 135. I’d have to open up my iPad to confirm. Never did a mileage check to confirm the two settings. Just going off launches. As far as fueling I figure it’s going to take X amount of fueling to move the truck throughout my travels. I’ve dropped my tire size from 285’s back down to 265’s. Around town I definitely see lower EGT’s. Need to take a ride down the freeway at 55 and 70. Drive and overdrive to see what that looks like now.

This guy had a surging issue with a bad coolant temp sensor. https://www.cumminsforum.com/threads/probably-beating-a-dead-horse-at-this-point-but-heres-a-dead-coolant-temp-sense.2553531/ Your issue does sound like a bad ground.

I ran your same setup for awhile except an auto trans. Ran real good! I would definitely get good gauges. EGT, fuel pressure, and boost. You don’t need the head unit on every time you drive the truck. I only connect mine when I’m playing with the tune or want to check some numbers out. Other than that start and go. I wouldn’t worry about the wiretap feature until you get your base tune dialed in. Here’s something basic you can start with. On level 3. load timing offset 2 Low timing reduction 5 timing scaling 50% Light throttle timing 2 light throttle load 30% Timing scale 15,19,23,27, 29 Mike starts his on 13 with a manual. Mine does better at 15. Your canbus could start between 95-98% Which ever has the least amount of smoke with a good take off. From there just add fuel so you have a nice steady pull using the whole throttle pedal. I believe canbus fueling maxes out at 4095 which you can check on the Quad. From what I’ve read most hit that number around 125% of fueling but you can select up to 150%

In Johnny Carson’s voice”I did not know that.”

I have mine set at 350. My driveway is inclined and the entrance isn’t flat to enter. It’s like a half circle and I back in. Park and lock it by the time I get to the front door it shuts off. Along with long hauls with my trailer. Very convenient. The bad part being the first to a drive through and waiting that awkward few seconds for it to shut off so we can hear each other talk through the loudspeaker. I’ve learned on some to pop it in neutral and coast up.

Skimmed right over that. Almost like it’s not boost fooling. I can’t read the boost log on my phone. Maybe @Me78569 can dicifer it.

What turbo are you running? Is it gated? If it is it’s sounding like it’s opening up.

Any upgrades?

In the 4-5 years I’ve owned my truck. Bone stock with HY35. Was a dog and ran hot. Traced it down to a stuck open wastegate. Found a power puck ran better. Installed a boost fooler and rigged up a spring system on the turbo for more boost. Ran better. Next upgraded to an HX35 with a boost elbow. Ran a little cooler. Picked up some RV275’s and a Quadzilla. That had been the biggest upgrade performance wise. Played with my tune from reading on this site. Read through everything Quad wise. Found some used 7x.009 injectors. Changed my tune accordingly. What a difference! Truck ran a little cooler with much more pulling power. If it ran hot while towing I just pulled some fuel back. Well at that point I got the power bug. Then I pieced together the turbo I have now with the new injectors. Really happy with the setup. Empty or loaded the truck moves! All said and done the Quad made all the changes work with each other. I still tweak with the tune occasionally just because I can. If it doesn’t work just change it back. No wire tap yet. VP warranty is up next May. Is the Quad the fix all cure all? No. Does it make a good setup better? Yes! Just my .02 and with today’s inflation it’s even worth less now.
