lol that made me laugh when I saw you posted it. I guess I missed the Vid on facebook, I guess it happened In Des Moines IA.

Ran h&s box tunes today, and it turns the tunes I make are more responsive, and stronger under light throttle. My latest tune I've upped the top end main timing to 28 degrees so I'll see how that does, and see if it still makes codes

I just seen that video on YouTube, that trooper got pretty lucky

Friend of mine runs H&S tunes on his truck, it's a mad beast! He had a no heat in the cab problem a week or so ago, turned out he blew the head gasket. He's getting the head done and is studding it, and I told him he better o-ring it too.

What do you guys think? It has a quaint hand drawn diagram of how to use the check valves, and run the lines. It recommends -12 fuel line though and all I have is 1/2"

Studding might not totally fix it. The problem is the Vgt, coupled with aggressive turbo tuning, and I could almost guarantee you he tromped on the throttle with a cold engine. That behaviour has blown a stupid amount of 6.7 head gaskets. Swapping to an s400 on a 1st gen manifold will pretty much half the amount of drive pressure, and waiting until the engine is at operating temperature before being aggressive with the throttle will damn near stop the potential for hg failure. Also one of the tunes I bought is a max effort (makes pretty much 500whp) box tunes max out at 430whp thereabouts

Is that a regulator? bush it down to 1/2 inch!
I never thought about hitting it when it's cold, I did that too many times myself. I suggested a bigger turbo, and he whined like a little girl! He likes and uses the brake a lot. He figures he's at between 5-600hp. We'll find out, dyno day in may!

[DMan1198]

It doesn't seem to hurt 5.9's. It's just the 6.7 that like to blow them when they get tromped on cold. I've gotten on The Roo Hunter cold many many times with no issues. If you talk him into a bigger turbo don't let him do ANYTHING SMALLER!! Than an s400. S300's just don't deal with the heat well enough. They'll make power sure, but they're going to be hot. A 464 does better than a 366

That's my 400gph mechanical lift pump I'm using for my p pump setup

My check engine light came on this morn. This has never happened in the 16 yrs Ive driven these rigs. Code 46, charging system voltage low. So, is it the alt or is it time to swap to an external vr? I hope whichever it is also magically cures my pulsing lights. Calling for 60° today but its snowing now so idk when I'll mess with it. Thanks Indiana weather!.

[DodgeFreak]

take the alt off and have it tested. I'm 50\50 on it being the comp or the alt lol.

[DMan1198]

Mine did that and it turned out to be a relay

[DodgeFreak]

well I just got my P7100 injector puller made, so this weekend I can get the 215 nozzles back on ppump bodies to send to my cousin, and hopefully get my nozzles set up for my truck. I'm hoping I'll be able to get my gauges off my other truck to put on my crew cab also.

No he didn't. I'll be out there working on the truck.
