Doubletrouble

I have a tanfoglio witness 9mm based on a CZ75, full size. Great gun

Hard to believe a kimber had issues. They're regarded as a very well made hand gun. I've held one or two. Very nice. I've never shot one though.

Could be. The batteries in mine are actually more cca than oem. The PO put them in. I tested them before winter and they both tested fine. If memory serves, the date sticker on them is 2017.

I'm thinking with my technical handicap I may consider a quad XZT+. It will have a tune loaded on it, only a couple of connections and if I understand things correctly I can load a different time to it later if I want to. Not to mention the price point. For what I would spend on the adrenaline I could get the XZT+ and gauges. More toys for the money!

WAIT! @Dieselfuture brought up a good point. Are these cougars the 2 or 4 legged variety? This info could make all the difference!

That's how I found the leak. I was under there doing something else and looked up and there it was! Ugh.

I'm going to assume your using it with the truck shut off?

Here's a pic. I installed a small power inverter for phone charging or other light electrical needs. Maybe charging a drill battery or the like. Here's a couple pics of the switch box lit up. One with flash one without. Hard to get a good pic without glare.

I'm sure the noise from a .22 would frighten a cougar but if one was determined I'd rather have a 9mm myself. Just my $.02

I found an oil leak a week ago or so. The bolts around the oil filter adapter/cooler were a touch loose. Today I removed the oil filter to gain access and checked them all. A few of them I got a 1/4 turn on till tight. I know they should be torqued but I don't own an inch/lb wrench.......yet. I took pics before and after.....

Are the batteries connected to one another? Couldn't you just run one charge lead to the passenger side with the breaker like an '01? Crap, I keep forgetting, I need to install a fuse on the blue wire for the PCM. I forget until I see a post about the ground mod.

I may consider getting one. I have to sell one of my motorcycles (was going to sell it anyway) and have declared that money to be "truck money". Original plan was gauges, injectors and fuel line upgrades. Maybe a quad will be the first big mod?

That's another issue as well. My wife doesn't mind some of my expenditures but $700 might be a very tough sell. Hard to convince her why I "need" this for a truck that I have already declared super reliable and should last a long long time. Ugh

🤣

I have to say I am a bit surprised that the "silencer" is still in your turbo mike. I've never heard you mention them really but I thought most everyone removed them.

OOOHHHH, I soooo wish I could have a true quad cab 2nd gen.

This is an example of what I would be confused on if I had an adrenaline. I don't get alot if the tech talk when you guys start comparing tunes and what not.

Sorry for the delay on the pics. I've been out of town for a couple days for work. I miss my truck 😭

For a quick fix duct tape it up. It's on the suction side so that will at least keep out the unfiltered air until you get a replacement.

So if a person sticks with rv275's the quad XZT should do just fine then? Question: the rv275 injectors are basically a +40hp injector, the XZT claims +60 I think. How does that really work out in the real world. I am not going to assume that the total of the two would be your overall gain which would be +100 ponies. Also: if running the above setup would a boost elbow be needed and why or why not? Sorry guys, just had some ideas during some downtime and got me thinking. That gets me in trouble.......alot

I haven't really thought alot about a quad myself as I find them to be somewhat technical and I am not. My 3500 dually is a 5 spd manual and on summer fuel I average around 17-17.5 just going to and from work. Not bad for such a heavy truck with DRW in my book. I was getting that with my last half ton. In the future I plan on an injector upgrade, at least RV275's maybe +75hp. Not sure yet. I don't want to smoke like a freight train and be forced to get a tuner for that reason. I'll be honest, tuners are expensive and I have several other things I'd rather spend the money on for the truck. I have looked at the quad XZT tuner, it's a bit more affordable. I haven't heard alot from anyone that has used one though other than online reviews. It to has a setting for fuel economy, power and an off position. You can also get a high idle program in it as well.

I got them hooked up to the ash tray light. Worked out well. Thanks @IBMobile! I'll have to get a pic of it at night lit up.

I'm asking this in light of the recent fuel price spikes. I don't mind paying extra for fuel because I didn't buy a 3500 dually for milage but, out of curiosity if a person were looking for mainly mpg gains would the quad investment be worth it? Last I looked they are fetching about $700 new. That would be a large investment for some people (me included at the moment). Thoughts? Thanks!

That's alot of damage to that engine. How did that happen? Did it get super hot?

I'm feeling a little I'll, think she will examine me? Just curious
