Quick overnight test:
Drive and park as normal
Check and note on paper current voltage of each battery
Disconnect (and clean) all terminals to batteries, leave disconnected overnight
Check several times (if possible) as batteries "rest"
Check again just before re-attaching terminals to...
My stock tune would go to "coast" almost immedately when letting off the throttle. Great for mpg, but hard on brakes
With the Kojo tune it feels even more like this. When you let off there is a very brief "surge" and then free wheel (almost feels like you threw it in nuetral)
So I've never...
Gotta love the ATT
Absolutely love what the A Team Turbo and Kojo reflash have done for my big beast.
Slightly better mpg, and "pull" that seems never to quit.
Tows great, and who would have thought that the ole 6.5 could pull my 8000lb rig to 100mph at will??!!
The high pitched GM...
My old GM8 would high pitch whistle every time you spooled her up. It was kinda cool to hear her sing inside the cab in accordance to your right foot.
My ATT has a much deeper jet turbine "whoooosh" which doesn't quit till you run of road or back off at 100+mph!!
Mine works great!
When you hear that "WHOOSH" check the temp gauge and watch it drop 25 degrees in just a few seconds!
Only issue is that it activates so seldomly that the first time it needs to come on it seems to need a "spike" to kick her on, then it works normally.
Mine was SSD kit, not...
Well just got back from FLA today and it was 95+ degrees here in NY
Temps weren't low today!
Daughter has horse show tomorrow so it was right back to work
Truck tows great, just drive by EGT
Had no trouble with this 6k (with two horses) nag hauler
Even schooled the Mrs - "1200 = BAD" and...
No more testing until next weekend
More testing will have to wait till next weekend, as we have a family emergency in Florida (have to fly down last minute type of thing) and won't get back to NY until Thursday night
When I do get back I'll pop the exhaust back apart up by the downpipe and...
I used Promar (in NJ) for a longblock. Reman block and brand new meatier heads. Also came with 3 yr 75k warranty for $3500.
No tin or accessories. Worked for me!!
Exhaust OR WMI???
So I boxed in the air cleaner to only get air from the fender opening and my under-bumper super redneck ram air tube
Truck performs great, but no better/worse than before the boxing in of the air cleaner
EGT's still run up pretty good, 1200 on an empty high speed run, I...
More feedback
As turbo wears in, it is quicker to boost and actually maintains a couple pounds at highway speeds (65-ish). When it was new, it was much slower to boost and smokier, and would drop to almost no boost at cruise until it was revved back up.
I still had a pretty good haze, and...
It bubbles on the aluminum block at the bottom of the two nuts, I thought valve was above this...
I'd love it if a $6 valve would fix this! (a mechanic friend thought whole line would be needed)
Little green bubbles on base of this valve
My 97 needs a recharge every year (and then works fine) and now is needing a can added every month or so
This valve seem to be the culprit
I modded this picture to show what is happening
Time to replace whole line? Anybody ever "peen" a leak...
My new turbo and tune work great, and I hope everyone finds something that works best for them (stock, Mitsu, Holset, A-Team, etc) based on their needs, budget and ability to tinker.
I'm not a big fan of generaton X attitude either, but we all gotta live on this rock together. That being...
HOLY $H**!!
Just got the KOJO tune PCM installed. Truck immediately sounded much quieter (do I need to do a relearn or something?), like a stocker, could barely tell it was a diesel
Did not need to do anti-theft on this WT no frills model (who would steal Old Yeller anyway?)
I also...
Gotcha
So I'll dig up my dual EGT snowmobile gauge (I found a second matching probe), and I'll do one in the crossover pipe and one in the air intake
If it's the matching probe and gauge (all factory made, no splices, etc) it should work on our diesels right?
Looking to relocate the EGT probe after the ATT install
In my "leftover parts" box, I have a brand new snowmobile style EGT probe that would fit very well on the crossover pipe. It would require just a quick drill into the pipe, and it self seals and is held in place by a band clamp. They...
Re: Tracking info

Well, you guys did your job right, now lets wait for this....
Your item arrived in the United States in ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS) at 4:48 pm on August 03, 2010. Information, if available, is...
USPS? That explains it! Sled dogs might have been better
I wonder if they dropped it at my old business address... Any tracking info? I'll call post office...
