Glad to see it all buttoned up Andrew!! It looks great man!

Ok so he has map based fueling. Won't add fuel untill it sees boost.

Bit it can work the other way around with too much fuel choking it out.

Yeah I know but if he has the same issue that I did at first then he isn't smoking at all down low and the truck just isn't going anywhere.

I agree. Needs to open up the fuel before the boost comes in.

Exactly. Gears are not the issue.

Yup of all things... weird

But I think I got it figured out after taking the button out and testing it I noticed the airbag light wasn't going out... so I'm thinking the clock spring, maybe the wheel went around a few times. :doh: Can't move it anyway got a down Pete blocking the lift so tomorrow is another day.

Always secure the wheel, I usually use a seatbelt through the bottom and click it in to the receiver. If the cab goes up and somehow the wheel gets turned, you have to reset the clockspring by pulling the wheel off and finding the midpoint. Really sucks to do. Likely if someone turned the wheel, the ribbon inside is damaged.

Love this place... I guess I will be keeping the gears and putting more fuel to it down low when the time comes.

Yup thats what happened, took me a little while to get it but everything is working again.

It is not gear related.... I know from first hand experience what he is talking about.

Your right I have no idea what I'm talking about!!!

Have you driven your truck yet? Or a setup like this? No. So you are right, you don't know.

Arrogant? No. I am trying to help the OP here with my experiences and hours of tuning changes. I'm not the one being a smartass.

I take out life frustrations here I guess.. Been a huge problem lately. My apologies..

Anyways, I hope tuning fixes your issues OP. Let me know if you experience any other weird stuff.. And same goes for you Dan, any questions on your truck I may or may not have some insight to..

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Apr 23, 2014

If gearing was the issue then it would smoke like a pig and dog around. His isn't, it simply has no fuel at all because the PCM isn't allowing it to. Totally different setup than dans with huge chargers and big tires at altitude.

powerstroke22 · Apr 23, 2014

Appreciate the input guys and first hand experience Kaleb. I will keep it in mind when we put more fuel to this thing, I'm sure Dan's truck with his setup and 38's would have had some gearing issues.

CATDiezel · Apr 23, 2014

It's always fuel related. Gears. Lol. Why don't you complain when it pulls 25,000lbs. Throw some fuel at it

I sure do miss the guys that would look into things like a mechanical engineer. The ol 7.3L forced men to learn engineering. Now days it's just parts swapping and word throwin.

Lettr rip throw some fuel and timing at it down low.

So by comparing an engine that can be tuned to run efficiently and powerfully with out changing mechanical parts that means I am wrong?

I guess my 6.7 with 3.55's and 35's tires should not be able to gross 30k with a non vgt. Definitely shouldn't be able to do that while staying under 1100* @ 4000ft elevation. Need to have 4.88's to pull that right?

Just because the old platforms were so limited by an inferior engine and fuel system design, not to mention the transmission. Doesn't make the people who modify a 6.7 dumb....

His problem is all tuning. Has not on thing to do with gear ratio. The smoke limitation is set so low on his tuning it will not add the fuel hard enough to spool the turbos at all.

CATDiezel · Apr 23, 2014

Read post SLOWLY. I AGREED.

The "lettr rip part....."

You guys need to either get laid or go work out. Lol.
