I've had the Kennedy Tune for about 3 or 4 years - I had the IP timed after putting the tune in (at -1.94). I use FPPF Total power religiously, at the double dose rate. The -2.29 reading was taken when I first brought the truck in to them to diagnose the problem I was having. They did not...
Thanks for that explanation about pulse width - I never really understood it until you explained it the way you did! :D
I have no codes, at all. What's interesting about the IP timing is that the shop where I took it to (to do the repair) is the ONLY shop I've ever had do timing for me...
Thanks, Buddy. Could please expand on your last sentence? I'm not following what you're saying. While my truck was in the shop, they noted that the IP Timing was at -2.29. The pulse width is 2.20ms -- just in case that helps explain anything. They said that 2.20 is a little high, but...
With OBDII:
I recently installed a new PMD (I guess it's actually called an FSD, now). Originally, there was a #5 resistor in there. Now there is a #9. Truck runs fine, but I wonder if the ECM still thinks there is a #5 in there?
So, I searched for the answer... I found some answers...
Well, I wondered that, too. But, then I thought "why was the shop confused about it?"
And, why in the heck is the saying "left field"? I mean, don't you always put the kid who can't catch in right field? Boy, I remember one kid - Danny - I think we were about 13 or 14 at the time... his...
Shameless bump...:o
I'm primarily curious about the initial diagnosis where pulse width #'s where found to be stuck at either 279.38ms or 0.00ms - nothing in between. That's what lead the shop to think it was the solenoid on the back of the pump. They were stumped as to why a new FSD...
Hi Slim,
Pretty good at turning a wrench - but by no means an expert. Data logging is no problem. I've never adjusted an IP. Thanks for the warning about not bumping - I definitely won't do that. I'm not sure about being a guinea pig, though, as this is also my daily driver and we don't...
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
First and foremost - thank you all for the guidance!!!!:)
Now, what do you think of this?:???:
The results are back from the shop - I pick up the truck tomorrow. Turns out the culprit was the PMD. They hooked up one of the new ones I bought and it started right up...
Good. Thank you guys, for keeping me straight and saving a possible headache in the future. I'll keep it stock and just use a #9. I know it's not that much of a difference over a #5, but every little bit helps. This was a good "learning" thread for me.
I'm very happy with the tune I have -...
I was hoping there was more to it, too. Maybe there is? Maybe I just didn't ask the right questions? If any of you guys that are more "in the know" feel like calling them and asking some better questions, I'm all ears to the answers!
Oh, but the quest for more power is so enticing! I'm in that mind set, right now, of "well, while I'm doing this, I might as well do that..." - you know what I mean? I did order the Feed The Beast Mod.
Yeah, maybe you're right - get it built stock and built right. Then decide what to do...
Just got off the phone with David at Pensacola (he's the one I talked to before). The "24-26" number was simply being used as an "example" for my benefit, the other day. He also said that while he can certainly build a performance pump, it's not something they've actually done. I was under...
I'm thinking I'll give Pensacola a call, again. What would be some important questions to ask of them regarding a "performance" IP?
We did talk about warranty and a performance IP would have a 90-day, instead of a 1-year.
I didn't get his name. He sounded very knowledgeable and made the comment about when "he" builds a pump... as in he is one of the people that personally builds some of the pumps.
The "24-26" thing: I'm positive on those exact numbers as coming up in conversation - but maybe I'm confusing...
In anticipation of possibly needing a new IP, I spoke with Pensacola Diesel. They mentioned they build IP's to the Stanadyne spec of 24-26cc's, usually towards the lower end of the spectrum. However, they could build it higher than that. What are your thoughts about having that done?
Also...
Yeah, you're not kidding "today"! Less than 4 hours after placing the order, I received an email saying "your order has been shipped"! Thanks!
I took everyone's advice and ordered a second PMD (grey box Stanadyne), as well. Also got the heat sink kit and Leroy is making me a short...
Yes, fuel came out of the line with LP running.
The "stalling" while driving I had wasn't really stalling. If I let off the pedal quick enough, the engine would stay running (it never died and then re-started itself - you're right, that would only be with a manual). If I kept my foot on the...
I talked to the shop about 20 minutes ago. Their rebuild guy is sure it's that solenoid thing. However, they had no problems waiting until I brought in a PMD to try, either. Good advice, everyone - thank you.
Any thoughts on the pulse width thing?
