Buying a Quad soon

[Gregturley]

@kzimmer seems to be all around. I'll keep watching it next few days to verify.

 Check online for the sensor. Cummins pn 4921505 for a 2001. I found it between $85-100 + shipping. By buddies employee discount just barely beat that plus i got it at 7am today.

 KLM Performance had it for $99.

@Blueox01 i really haven't started tuning it yet. Ran 1st tank on default tune, 2nd tank on a tune from here, now on 3rd tank and tweaked the tune a little.  Each tank is 2 weeks over the same route give or take a little. Haven't done a road trip to check highway mpg yet. Other than a lazy map sensor i haven't changed anything else. 

@Mopar1973Man @Me78569 will a map sensor affect fuel milage on the Cummins?

[Me78569]

it might I suppose.  the ecm will see low boost related to tps input it might be in a state of overfuel all the time.

 

Random guess though.

[24vcumminspower]

also can check air intake temp cause i think that would contribute as well

[kzimmer]

Quad V2 ignores intake temperature sensor input, timing is not affected by it while the quad is in control.

[24vcumminspower]

timing may not be affected by it but i think fueling would be just like coolant temp changes fueling if your coolant temp is low your going to use more fuel

[Mopar1973Man]

Fueling is not controlled by temperature.

[Gregturley]

I made winter inserts for the grille and iat is over 100 anytime I've driven it this winter. Usually 120-130 range. Pulled it out and cleaned it not long ago. It was pretty much spotless.

I know it is on a common rail

Not in vp world. And not in the quad coding.

Correct... ECT and IAT have zero effect on fueling. ECT and IAT both in stock form control timing. Quadzilla wise the IAT is dropped and not used.

@Gregturley I decided since most of these sensors seem to be crap anyway, I picked up one on Amazon with prime 1 day shipping for $25... All it has to do is beat the $70 rock auto sensor's 30 day record lol. Went for a quick drive and it's within 1 or 2 psi of my 100 psi gauge up to 40 psi.

 

I should put these damn things on a quick disconnect to make them easier to change. Maybe an air chuck.

@kzimmer I came really close to the same. If the Cummins sensor craps out in short time it will be Amazon up next. Let us know if yours dies anytime soon please. One of the truck shops we outsource stuff to said get one made by Standard if i didn't get a Cummins.

My Standard,$90 from Oriellys, lasted about a year. Failed when the VP did. Coincidence, maybe.

@dripley and stories like that made me get a Cummins. $13 more than what i would have paid at a local store.

[dripley]

Oriellys told me the new has a lifetime warranty, Standard also. Lost my old receipt and they had no record of me buying it. So I saved this new receipt and the old sensor and figure I will have a mysterious failure in the near future.

That sucks

Now that's hilarious. Standard Motor Products was the last one that died on me.

I have had good luck with SMP until that sensor failed. It failed ar the same time the  VP was failing. And i mean the failed simultaneously.

Very interesting. Can't help but try to draw lines to connect those. You did yours on the road too, right? I can just imagine getting through a VP44 swap and then having no power because if a failed MAP sensor on the test drive.

When the failing it was going in out of working and not. During the times it wasworking you could the MAP sensor doing the same thing. Got the new pump in and had to order MAP delivered at home and drove 200 miles with the bad one.
