New Quadzilla installed--low power and 0 smoke?
Ha! Good stuff guys. yes, 285's on mine. I could go bigger to "turn down" the 4.10s some, but 33" is large enough for me and since this will primarily be used as a tower, it's fine as is for now. Lots of good info on this forum... seems like a good group.

Junior's truck needs work... a lot of work :-(
Hahahahaha NO. This is why auto shops have a bad name. This is also why many folks (me included ) do all of their own maintenance and mod work. Great opportunity to learn on a truck like this. The parts listed above (probably not all are even necessary) cost a fraction of that $5k quote and you/he will have the satisfaction of getting it done yourselves. $5k... lol what a joke. .

It has metric 33's on it.. .285/75r16. I would say 4.10s are too much gear for an everyday driver, but will be fantastic when i hook up our 12k 5th wheel to it. My first tank of fuel hand calc'd out to 17.8 mpg.. 441 miles and 24.8 gallons used. 220 of those miles were towing about 4500 lbs .. I think she'd do right next to 20 mpg unloaded.

I guess im probably more excited about some of that cummins l6 exhaust sound. My truck has 4.10's so it should run a bit cooler towing hopefully. Couple pics of my girl..loving this truck.

Thanks so much.. you are a mad scientist about these trucks.. you and Mopar1973man. You guys are great. Well.. i tapped the pump AND installed my 75hp injectors. Spent the day in the garage and just wrapped up. HOLY CRAP this thing runs like a scalded *** ape on the upper levels. Damn near spiked my EGT gauge momentarily.. .think i saw 1450 or so for a split second. Good times!! Oh by the way... im still on the factory exhaust. Diamond eye 4" turbo back is supposed to be delivering tomorrow so im sure that will help some. Back story is i also have a 4th gen 2016 cummins truck that i am thinking about selling. Told myself that if i could get this 2nd gen to be 75% of the towing machine the 2016 is, then i'd sell the 2016 and get out of the payment. Well... Vroom will be picking up the 2016 next week.. loving this 2nd gen! Thanks for all the help guys. .

Alright i think i figured it out. Im on the default tuning and it appears i am getting the "65hp" that level 3 should deliver. Couple things: 1. I did not have a boost elbow hooked up. Now i do (actually its a Turbosmart manual boost controller) and on level 3 im getting 24 psi boost up from about 17 stock. 2. I data logged two 3rd and 4th gear pulls. First was on Level 0 and my max timing was 22.5* and max Canbus fuel was 3360. Second pull was on Level 3. Same 3rd adn 4th gear WOT runs yielded 25* max timing and maxed out Canbus fueling of 4095. So it appears it is working. Unfortunately this is not near enough power for me haha. Next steps for me are to tap the pump and see what that does. If im satisfied, ill then leave it alone. If not, i have some new Power Driven Diesel 7x.0085 injector nozzles in my garage that i will install that should be good for another 75hp.

Thank you!! No, I haven't built or adjusted anything outside of clicking up power levels on the dashboard. I definitely have v2 tuning because level 1 Valet mode works great, plus i just bought the tuner yesterday and is brand new. How can I tell if I have the new V2 Adrenaline Custom tuning on my module? There are a couple of ways to tell if you have the new V2 tuning on your Adrenaline. The first is to drive in power level 1. If it is slower and more sluggish than stock, you have the V2 tuning. I didnt think i'd have to build tunes and would be able to run the factory Quadzilla "canned" tunes. How do i acces the level 3 65 hp? Below is what im trying gain access to. What are the power levels on my Factory Adrenaline? PL00: Stock with Boost Fooling PL01: Max Mileage (Timing Only) PL02: 60 HP Gain (Timing + CAN stretch) PL03: 75 HP Gain (Timing + CAN stretch + Fuel Stretch) PL04: 90 HP PL05: 105 HP PL06: 120 HP PL07: 135 HP PL08: 150 HP PL09: 165 HP PL10: 180 HP

Hi Guys.. truck is a 1999 nv4500 4x4 3/4 ton. Virgin i just bought off original owner with 169k miles. Stock injectors. Only mods are gauges and a FASS pump. Added Quad ADR today with iquad for android. I HAVE NOT TAPPED THE PUMP YET and had planned to run on lvl 3 for now... Got correct truck profile selected and quad app is reading all engine parameters.. went for test drive..... Valet mode (lvl 1) works.. half power limp mode lol. Turned it up to lvl 3 which should be timing and max Can bus fueling and truck is weak. I am actually having a hard time telling if it is more powerful than level 0 (stock) ?? Definitely does not feel like a 65hp increase. No smoke, and weak power delivery. Can hardly get EGTs to 850* on a WOT run. Is this normal? I figured i'd at least get some smoke with max can bus fuel... no? Or is wire tap going to be required? Supporting mods; Glow Shift Boost/fuel psi/pyro gauges FASS pump New stock clutch
