    6.0 Glow plug issue

    Having just fixed a similar issue (identical) that didn't code initially (on 2,4,6,8), I replaced the GPCM and all is well. Before it coded, I checked the resistance from the plug to ground and all were 1.1 ohm (good 0.5<>1.9 ohm), so I knew each GP and the wiring to the GPCM was good. Just...

    KC STAGE 2R TEST

    Now that I don't have any larger trailers I don't really need to go with a smaller turbo, but you may need some cold weather testing done. Please confirm! It is interesting to see so many of these truck are still cruising the streets after all the years of problems... :wtf: Maybe it wasn't all...

    What injector problems to come after low fuel pressure

    You wont know until you pull them out, but spool stiction shouldn't be part of the problem as that is oil related, not fuel. On the fuel side, the plunger may be worn or scarred due to lack of fuel to cool and lubricate the bore; but more than likely the nozzles are damaged, causing sticking...

    problems after motor rebuild and 190 injectors

    It certainly could be the IPR valve. Even new ones are known to have caused problems.

    Which brand lift?

    Once you go larger and change the offset you have no choice; lift, cut, and/or move the axle forward. Depending on the wheel offset 4" should be enough. If you are rubbing now, another 1.5" probably will not work.

    HELP with Fox 2.0 with reservoir mounting!!!

    I am in the same boat... but my hoses should reach. With the reservoir attached to the shock body without offset wheels the tire will catch the reservoir on one side, but will just miss on the other side. With larger tires I would catch for sure! Fox seemed to be clueless on the shock tower...

    Need Trans Help!

    Don't feel too bad, I could blow through my new-old converter as well, even with low to moderate power applied. I recently sent it back to PI under warranty for a new one, but the new one has the opposite problem, this one stalls even before the RPM cracks 1200! I couldn't do a boosted launch...

    towing with bigger injectors

    With larger injectors and a larger VGT turbo I have found that most tow tunes and regular tunes are only acceptable. Depending on load, grades and elevation you can easily run 1100-1200* (or higher), even on the flats just cruising. With my 23' boat in tow, and narrow twisty roads with frequent...

    DIY Injector mods

    With piezo-electrics, very short, highly precise switching (control) can occur. This has been used in waveform devices for years and only recently (10 yrs) in vehicle injector control devices. Badass? Not really, just newer technology that uses less power, has greater accuracy, and is more...

    DIY Injector mods

    Remembering the space below the plunger at full stroke, the shim could be 0.5mm less than the IP cut and still not bottom out. Piezo is just a method using electricity on crystals to control short burst functions in a control gate.

    Yes, that would work, but copper would be too soft to withstand the wear. Lilpooh's shim is a very good example of what can be done. Precision and hardness are critical to long-term success. An argument could be made that the shim does not have to be critically tight to the plunger since the...

    Just posting info for average guy to see

    Puling fuel may help, but the VGT needs a greater duty cycle earlier. Your driving style and tune will need to change so you can easily get to higher RPM via loosening the torque converter or have the shift points at higher RPM. If you are locked and at low RPM, there isn't much you can do but...

    That is nothing new. At lower pressure all the fuel makes it out the spill port; that is why it idles just like stock. At higher pressure, and a shorter time to block the port, not all of the fuel makes it out the spill port. Again I will say that plugged ports are more efficient at delivering...
