Texas CTD

Holy crap, those EGT's are cookin' for a stock truck! I've never seen over 1,000 degrees, pulling 10,000 lbs... Up a small hill... With a boost leak. (16 PSI max)

What are the complete specs on the turbo?

35 is the max. Sure, it might hold together pushing 50 PSI, but all you're doing is blowing hot air, and it ain't easy on the turbo.

No harm, unless you overboost. How much boost did you see with the waste gate disconnected?

That could be it... Also, on Saturday, I backed up to the trailer and was hooking everything up, the truck had been running for about 5 minutes, and the tach was dead. A minute later I hear a mild lope, and the tach comes back to life, and then by itself, it revs a couple hundred RPM for a second, and then drops back down to normal. All the gauges looked fine, no smoke of any color, and the truck runs fine, just the CEL is on and the P0336 code. (The scan gauge shows 3 codes: P0121, which has been there for a long time, and then P0336. It won't show the 3rd code for some reason, but I'm thinking it's just P1693. It won't let me erase the codes either) But after that, the tach works fine, and the truck runs like a scalded dog for 2 hrs, dragging a trailer 100 miles...

Alright Mike, explain this to me... The CEL comes on, the tach dies, but the tach on the SGII works fine?

17,000 more miles and I'll order the 100,000 mile badge.

Smartys are friggin' expensive. ($650 new) You can get the same power out of a $180 Diablo powerpuck. (plugs into the MAP sensor and injection pump, but doesn't tap the pump) Edge Comp with a pump tap boasts +120 HP. I think it's the same with the Edge Juice, but you can get the Hot Unlock for the Edge Juice, and get some more fueling up top, with some HP gain. Same thing if you get an Edge Drag Comp. The most powerful I think is the Quadzilla Adrenaline, and they show +180 HP with a pump tap, and it has custom tuning. (Quadzilla is out of business now) TST Comp is pretty close to the Adrenaline, power wise. Utah - with a timing box (Edge EZ, Diablo PowerPuck, Smarty) you won't have any issues with EGT's. They might actually be lower than stock, with added timing.

I don't have to worry about that, with the Assassin.

Now I get it. Thanks Mike. (and others)

So there is a possibility that the alternator could quit on me?

'98.5-'00 - crank sensor. '01-'02 - cam sensor.

It was 22* this morning here in SE Texas. And I was up all night with a newborn calf... It's supposed to be in the teens in the morning... That's stupid cold for this Texas boy.

I cranked up the truck this morning, and let it warm up a little, got back in the truck and the CEL was on and the tach was dead. P0336 was the code, so I was wondering if the sensor is only for the tach, or does it have another purpose? I think the Camshaft position sensor on the '01-'02's can leave you stranded, but I'm not sure if a crank sensor could? I searched for 20 minutes and couldn't find an answer. Also, the truck would stumble for a second and then the tach would come back, then a minute later it would stumble and the tach would die. After a while the tach was fine, and the CEL was staying on. I tried erasing the codes, but it wouldn't let me. After an afternoon of hauling some crap around, the CEL went away. I just don't want to be worrying about it while I'm an hour away from home with a load of cattle.

Do I hear wedding bells? Shhhhh... Oh snap...

Don't push your HY35 past 29-30 PSI.I wouldn't run the Edge until you know what your fuel pressure is. What kind of lift pump do you have?

How's your fuel pressure?

Check and see if DAP still has any in stock, that's where I got mine. FYI, they just plug into the OBD port, so they aren't year specific. If you got an OBD port, it works.

Unless you plan on running 7x.011 or 7x.012 injectors, you don't need the 64. With "100 horse sticks", I'd go with a BD Super B (not a special)

I'm running a 5A fuse. Also running a fuse between the 12V source and the pyro.

Grease, magnets, and a prayer. :lol:It was WAY easier than I thought it would be...

Any padding to protect the bed rail from getting all scratched up? :shrug:Looks great though!
