Quadzilla Adrenaline Hardware Thread Fixes, Tips, Tricks

Where did you get this pv1 from?  Did you buy it recently? 

 

A guy sent me a pv1 with this exact issue to fix.  It came up with van whatever when you plugged it in.  I couldn't get it to communicate back to the adr box.  I sent it back to him and explained the issue.  I would hate to think he sold it to you as working. 

 

I "THINK" that this box wasn't a pv1 to start with but sold to van aank to use with their box.  this was a very long time ago.  In theory it should work if you get the firmware loaded on it right, but I couldn't get it to.

I bought this forever ago from Extreme Diesel. Totally legit. It was probably 4 years ago. It worked until recently. After my truck was having huge battery issues. That's why I had thought a jumpstart killed it. The Van Akken thing has always shown up for me as the driver details when you plug in the Commander or the ADR. However. Once their software loads up the driver it changes the name of the driver. I am wondering if Van Akken wrote their software or maybe the drivers? Maybe that has something to do with their disappearance? At any rate, I did find the update that I downloaded from quadzilla forever ago. The one that fixes the temp reporting issues. That's the one I can't load. Is the one from the download site the same as the one I have from Quadzilla?

[Me78569]

the update for the pv1 is 1.3.8. 

 

 

Van Akken actually bought pv1 from quad back in the day.

Ok... I powered up my other other computer... I thought it had 7 on it but it had windows xp pro.  I DID get it to upload the update to the P1.  everything went smoothly.  No issues or hiccups.  I also got the ADR to update too.

 

However... Im on my third attempt at uploading to both and the damn thing still doesnt work.  Either no ability to edit (all ZEROS again) last time the thing wouldnt even power up. Trying again......   I was thinking about buying the parts for the ADR and replacing them just for grins and giggles.

good luck man. 

 

I wish I had some more time to mess with a busted pv1, but life gets in the way.

[LSxPoweredSorento]

aaaaand... Fail.  Still no go.  Was praying it was the parts....

If the PV1 is bricked will it still talk to the PC and go through the loading procedures?

 

Does anyone have the older version of software to back-date to?

So I am having a problem with my loved pv1:(

you had mentioned that if the boost values were off there was a fix. Well what about fuel pressure? I recently jumped in the truck and the fuel pressure was 24 to 27 psi which is not right, the day before this it was reading right @ 17psi (like it always did). so I unplugged the sensor and the quad is holding 13 psi with the sensor unplugged check the harness to the sensor and the airdog, the only thing I can think of now is the quad is not reading right? help please!!!!!!!!!

[Heather-and Nathan Davis]

Hey my husbands Dodge truck just incurred a theft. They stole the Quadzilla Pulse V2 Control Monitor. Any idea where to get a replacement?

[Me78569]

Sadly, you are gonna struggle to find one. 

 

ebay or the classifieds if you can find out.  Might call Jacob at DAP and see if they have any on the shelves still.

I think there is a FP adjust in the pv1's.... but without a reading it shoudl read 0 psi regardless as it looks for a voltage, I think.

[Yankneck696]

Sounds like the FP sender is shot. Did you have a snubber or needle valve on it?

i have the pod, 3 of them actually switch the pods it doesnt change, try the junker quad i had you test it does? could it be another bad box? could i ship to you to try again? thanks brad

[Me78569]

Sorry I don't have any time to deal with this anymore. 

 

My plate is way overflowing, dog issues, horse, home renovation. 

 

I would guess your box is bad if all 3 pods won't change the power levels

 

Beyoned that I can't say.
