need some thoughts on smarty.

[AH64ID]

I had a friend load his S06 onto his 03 and adjust the options, it does give him the wastegate option. Either that's new or I never noticed it before. Sorry for the misinformation.

 

I would check fuel delivery first. Can you hear the LP running?

[Killer223]

yes the LP works. i can hear it run when i cycle the key. it's in tank. but it is very quiet. i'll try n find the way to measure it tonight and maybe tomorrow after it stops raining i can get a flow measurement. i went to the cat 2um filter a few months ago 7800 miles, maybe i should go back to the FS1000.

[Killer223]

i wonder if my altitude 7000 ft, has an effect.

i found http://www.thedieselgarage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=538

maybe i'm reading it wrong.

and my oil capacity is different. mine uses 12.5 qt.

 

i think there is a lot of misinformation around the interwebs.

once switching to syn you cant go back to dyno? BS.

Elevation will increase smoke, not decrease it.

 

CR's have a 12qt capacity.

 

You can switch as much as you want between dyno and syn.

[Killer223]

Mines 12.5, at 12 it's halfway down the safe zone.

The smarty does give me more power, today I towed my trailer, I did notice a difference there. Mid rpm 2k-2800 was more responsive towing.

[AH64ID]

At what temp? Unless you have just been towing half-way is proper for 140-180° coolant temp. The cross hatch is 2qts long.

 

You may  prefer 12.5, but it's a 12qt system.

 

Maybe it's what it's supposed to be and just different than the older truck? I know the CR's are less aggressive than the 12V's, and not sure on 24V's. Smoother doesn't always mean less power.

[mopartechnician]

Every cummins in dodges are 12qts

[AH64ID]

I am pretty sure 2nd Gen's were 11.0 or 11.5 qts. I'll have to peek at the FSM.

 

EDIT: 1996 FSM called for 10qts w/ Filter and the 2001 FSM called for 11.0 w/ Filter.

[mopartechnician]

I always did 12. Never had one single problem. 3 gals is way easier than to have qts laying around

I think many people do/did..

With my bypass I need 14, so I buy a 2.5 and a 1.0 gallon jug from Amsoil.

[Killer223]

i sure thank you for the information guys. this place has been a major help.

thanks again.

Hey, sorry I missed this till now. Been busy. Somethin definitely isn't right. Have mine on 5 and when I put my foot into it I am makin all kinds of ruckus.

Might want to go to Brian's forum and get some answers. You should be blowing smoke and spinning tires.

[Killer223]

Not sure I know of Brian's forum,

Any thoughts on what to check on the truck?

[MnTom]

Why not just send him a PM from here? He should get an e-mail telling him he has a message here. He goes by Brian@Smarty here.

[Killer223]

I don't think is a problem with the smarty, I think it's my truck but I'm not sure where to start looking.

[mopartechnician]

I would check your lift pump flow. I cant remember specs and not at home so i cant remember.

Next thing to do is torque connector tubes and check valve lash.

[Killer223]

Thanks mopar, wouldn't I be making oil if tubes are loose? I'm at 196k valve lash was gonna happen at 200k guess early won't hurt.

Thanks again.
