    Tuning 101 - Thread Merged with Injector Posts

    The cold weather timing seems fine. The reason I had to mess with the multiplier so much for pw is because the full power pw is so low compared to stock, that there wasn't much to be multiplied. In cold weather, most all that extra pw is not injecting fuel.... it's holding the poppet valve...

    Tuning 101 - Thread Merged with Injector Posts

    Took this a second ago on a gravel road on the way home. Snags idle like a champ. MFD and ICP desired both have been previously worked for the purpose of a solid idle. Result: https://youtu.be/yBrfOm4CKg4 On Edit: Forgot to add that at the end you can see how low the rpm is in OD when I...

    Looking at the smoke in your video, I would wager a lot that if you pulled a ton of pw the truck would crispen up and be way, way snappier.

    Tuning 101 - Thread Merged with Injector Posts

    I cranked the truck and drove down to the shop to check and add some trans fluid and remembered to get a video showing the idle. Had a guy talking about people unhappy with the idle with 200's and I just don't mind it myself. It's around freezing in this video. Notice the tailpipe smoke is...

    Glow plugs have no bearing on my point. No smoke was coming out the pipe, therefore no fuel was being injected, regardless of whether or not the cylinder was warm enough to ignite it. And my glowplug system is 100%. New motorcraft plugs went in with injectors. The point of my post was to...

    Okay..... got some REAL good cold weather testing. On top of Beech Mountain at 5,506' right now. Yesterday, temp was 19 with 32mph wind, do NOT underestimate the power of wind! With my tables set up at 4ms of pulsewidth and 2500psi for cranking the truck would sputter along but not lite off...

    2002 crank no start

    This hybrid instrument cluster pisses me off more and more every day... I guess the idiot gauges we had before were still too informative, so they took away what little we did have! I don't even have a volt meter now. Just have to assume it all went to plan... Are we sure the PCM doesn't...

    2002 crank no start

    You need to know if you're making oil pressure before you do a bunch of work that may not matter. If you're sitting pretty at 2500psi dicking with IPR's and sensors is gonna feel pretty dumb. First, if you crank for say 20 seconds, do you see the lube oil pressure (engine oil pressure) gauge...

    Supercharged 7.3

    I ran 400/400's with a stock OBS 15 degree. Truck would do rolling burnouts on 35" tires at will. Sure, it was less powerful than with two pumps, but still over 500rwhp easy. Don't over-estimate the need for oil volume.

    Radio Turns Off by Itself

    You first. But for grins.... would it compete in pro-street? Now there's the lol... Obviously you can hand ass to anything you want if that's your goal. Just saw the dude's name and it reminded me of some fun times on the high side of 80lbs of boost.

    Radio Turns Off by Itself

    I watched a C63 AMG at full song slide down the side of my F-250 and drop behind my rear bumper a couple of times in the 70 to 140mph range. Don't discount your tow truck. ;)

    Have you outrun any C63 AMG's with the powerstroke yet? Good times.

    Headlight foot dimmer switch again...

    55mph on a mountain 2 lane, the tires are starting to howl just a tad in a turn and your left hand is at 3 o'clock when you see a light pattern appearing on the trees in front of you from an approaching car. Go ahead and take that left hand off that wheel and hold it with your blue jeans smart...

    Headlight foot dimmer switch again...

    No need for a relay. It's already there. Simple is grabbing fused power and tossing it on the existing high beam relay. But have you ever wanted to see if any others had already been down a path, just in case there was some super clean, super simple method already fleshed out? If someone has...

    Flow bench?

    My bad, in that case you've got something wrong with the scope. Wrong pin (I know.... you checked.... check again...) Otherwise, you don't have the probe grounded or something. Looks like you're just picking up noise on channel 2 from channel 1. How are you connecting to the truck? Read in...

    Flow bench?

    Did you read post #90? Btw, you are making those two signals, so anything you don't like, it's all you to fix it. The IDM just has a pull-up resistor IIRC. It's your job to sink them down to form the waves.

    Snow Water Meth nozzles

    The water soluble oil is WHY you don't see a problem..... and you don't even know it! Without any oil in the water the cylinder heads WILL look like they have been left outside in the rain on teardown. It's real simple, just run a water soluble oil, then run the smallest nozzle(s) you can that...

    A More Durable Degas: Mishimoto’s 6.0L Aluminum Degas Bottle R&D

    How do I know the head sealing design on the 6oh sucks horrifically with no real solution? When people just give up and decide it's easier to beef up the poor degas bottle so it can take a better cylinder pressure pounding, because the heads will never seal... Dang.

    Flow bench?

    Take a simple toggle switch and connect it to the same signal from the IDM and send it to ground through a resistor to verify that you can in fact have a crisp square wave. Then figure out why your circuit can't replicate the simple toggle switch.

    Flow bench?

    I don't have the first clue what you're using for a pull-down on the IDM signals, but whatever you're using for the red line on your scope it is insufficient. If it's a transistor, then you're not feeding it enough signal to snap it on and off. Do you have some capacitance or too much...
