do u have an idea on low egts? by the way i was taking an educated guess on fuel mileage and now i filled it up for a real check and it went 8.4

I have 265.70.17 tires which is 1.2 in. taller OD than stock they are not a highway tire but not a mud tire by any means. My odo. is off 1.3 percent (checked with gps and timing through a mile) no bio blends that i know of, and i think it would be #2 diesel I run a pint of 2 cycle oil at...

these #s are with good timing (-1.94) 195 degree ther. temps are 195 to 218 ( slowed down) i think my rad is toast or buggy. Boost is 4 to 6 empty and 6 to 11 towing. it shifts most of the time at 11 psi into 3rd then ranges from 11 to 14 against tm. Rpm at 65 in od is 2100

so are u saying you would feel im seeing something very typical?

whats a 1500 have to do with it the f code motors in 2500 and 3500 do have a few more # ft. of torque but its very close to the same. Bill Heath says these trucks when in good condition can not burn more fuel tha what would equate to 11 mpg. he says u shouldnt get less than that even at wot for...

Well i dont know where to start----- I have a low mileage creme puff of a truck with as follows... Heath diesel (HD) IP cooling system high flow in. High per. ecm turbo master 3inch dp with 4 inch exhaust before i bought it. i think SS diesel f code intake ful set gauges Now for all...

Thanks guys im fixing to pull my camper a lot in the next 2 months so we will see how it works. Thanks again.

Well, HO Ho HO chevy dealer finaly got me in for a timeset. tdco was i fact at +1.8 and after 4 tries ( i was hoping for -1.3 or so) we got a -1.94 so i said enough is enough and left it there. Now what kind of differces would u expect. its hard to notice much seat of the pants difference, what...

Yea its a pain but i just remove the belt take 4 bolts out of compresser and one 10mm on line hold down and u can move it all over then. I just loosen them all and then put it back together and only play with the top ip bolt. It is a pain but ti doesnt take very long, maybe 15 min. then u get to...

well i think i figured it out heath explained it a little more and i just wasnt looking at the scanner right. but alas now the guy i have to talk to to get the scanner is on vacation so i guess il wait. i could do the koko method but i woulknt know where i was at without looking at a scanner right.

so u are sying you can actualy set a new or different TDCO with KOKO method?

i dont understand the KO ko method heard it mentioned here but havnt been able to see a discrption can u explain. so if i understand right i was probably commanding TDCO learn and not time set?

well i tried for awhile with no luck. i guess ill wait for my gm guy to have an opening to time it with a tech 2. i ran a couple of quarter mile runs and ended up aroung upper 18sec and 76mph, seems kind of slow what do u all think? also even with high flow injectors i cant get over about...

will have to try again. i cant find a place on the scanner that will tell what the base timing is although when you go into time set a screen pops up and says it whould be 3.5 degrees and if its not to loosen the pump and try again.

Ok i have an OTC scanner and Bill Heath says it should do a time set. I wint to special test/ diesel tests/ injection timing, and commanded to do its thing. the engine bucked around a little, the des timing and act timing went to 0 for a few seconds but the TDC offset stays the same (i moved the...

I think ill end up buying a cheaper tool. really all i need at this point is something to read and clear codes and that also has the ability to read a live data stream. Im also not sure i want to be hauling my laptop around.

maybe theres a reason. dont want to buy something i wont like!!

hey guys i dont know which forum cat. to put this in but here it is. Does anyone have expierence with an AUTO ENGINUITY pc based scan tool? I own a small mechanic shop and wonder if it would compare to the more expinsive scan tools.:???: so many scan tool options im getting confused. thanks in...

ive been useing lucas, power service, or anything else i see close when i need some. It seems that 2 cycle oil would work good and is a lot cheaper to.

thanks, i imagine u might have to use somthing else in cold climates during the winter? the 2 cycle oil is sure cheaper than a lot of other additives
