    Getting hot?

    When towing and I come to a stop, the fan is really loud (moving air) untill I get going to around 30 or so. I'm pretty sure it's working. Does this sound right?

    Getting hot?

    Tuner was set to 40Hp tow, exhaust was usually under 1000deg. I'm running the "green" antifreeze at an unknown concentration. I know it tests to like -29F. Yes I was going off the factory idiot gauge. It usually never moves, but when it does start, it goes pretty quick to near red if I don't...

    Getting hot?

    I was wondering what would happen if the radiator cap wasn't holding pressure? I had mine replaced recently, but I still have issues when towing up long grades. I was pulling a 15K 5ver and also had problems towing a 7K travel trailer and running with the AC on. Temps will climb and I need...

    True Cool Max

    Just wanted to pass on a good experience with this tranny cooler. With the stock cooler I was getting up to about 200 degs as indicated on my temp gauge when pulling around 68-69 mph. I didn't have time to install the cooler before my last camping trip, so I brought it along and did the...

    Aftermarket Intercooler Dimentions

    Does anyone know off hand what the dimentions of the Spearco Intercoolers are? I'd like to get a general idea as I want to price cores for possibly making a cooler myself. I made the one on my camaro, which uses a 36"x6" by 3.5" deep core. For the price of the Spearco units I could have made...

    Observations on the tranny after chip install

    What did the VB set you back? Diane, you are right, but even without the VB this is like a totally different truck! I am 100% satisified with the chip! and I don't even have an intake yet!! It pulls so much better and drives so much better than stock. I'm about to purchase a 12,500 lb...

    Observations on the tranny after chip install

    The tranny only has 80K on it. I'm only running a 80 Hp Econo tune. Tranny doesn't get over 190 when pulling. Bill

    Wastegate not working properly?

    Every Wastegate that I have ever seen (intergral, and stand alone units) uses positive pressure to actuate, not vacuum. Try using a pressure regulator and slowely increase the pressure to the wastegate actuator, it should move. The gate should start to open around 5 psi, and should take a few...

    Diesel EGT's

    I'm pretty new to Diesels (as you can see by my post #'s) and had a few questions about EGT's. I have been afiliated with gas engines and pcm tuning for a few years now with my camaro, and was just curious if the temps with gas and diesel correlate. I have always been told if tuning a gas...

    swamp 20 deg Hpop

    Wondering if anyone has a link to Swamps 20deg HPOP. I have seen a few sigs with it mentioned and tried to search for any info. Couldn't find any. Is this a good way to go without going with a twin setup? Would be looking at towing performance, not all out huge turbo/huge injector setup...

    Observations on the tranny after chip install

    I did get a new PMT1 computer with the flip chip to replace the early 99 pcm. The converter does lock at lower speeds with a little less throttle. I'm not saying I dislike it. With the stock 99 pcm the converter would lock at the 1-2 shift and dropped the revs way low and made the truck...

    Observations on the tranny after chip install

    First off I want to say I love my DP chip. I just have some observations that I'd like to bring up and see if this is normal. When I take off at low speed, or any speed before the converter locks the rpm's come up and stay up while the truck is accelerating. They stay pretty constant while...

    Aux transmission cooler recommendations

    I'm going on a trip this next weekend. Driving the truck today for it's first long trip since adding gauges(100+ miles) unloaded thru Milwaukee, I noticed the transmission temps start to climb putzing thru 10 miles of stoplights and construction. After it got above 180, I stopped for lunch. I...

    Truck Stance

    Looking at my truck, the back end sits alot higher than the front. The front leaf springs look like they are pretty much straight, no bow to them. Is this normal for the SD trucks? or did the springs just weeken with mileage and sag a little. There is only about 2" between the axel and the...

    WOW... DP Tuner!

    It would take alot of #2 to justify fuel economy difference from $1200 injectors. That being said, I would love to have some Beans stage 1 or 2 injectors, and big oil! I need to get a cap on my truck to see better fuel economy, but I may pick up a few MPG I hope!

    WOW... DP Tuner!

    My new computer and chip came today for my truck. I only got the stock, 40Hp Tow and 80 econo program. All I can say is WOW! The 80 Hp program is awesome. Part throttle power just driving around normally is worth every $!! The truck is/was lazy off the line with the stock program, and that...

    '01 Lack of acceleration when cold?

    I've read about similar problems when the line to the Exhaust Back Pressure sensor is plugged. You can see the tap for it on the Pass side manifold thru the wheel well on the front of the manifold. Remove and clean out the line. Unplugging the EBP sensor should cause the valve to open as...

    Removing intercooler

    Does the top cross member unbolt? It looked like one solid peice. There may be something hiding under the jack plate, I didn't look there. Thanks for the input! Bill

    Thanks again CHPMustang!! Yes I plan on drilling and tapping the plug for a boost gauge as well. Just couldn't see paying the money they wanted for it. I can drill and tap with the best of them, and I happen to have some nice fittings to use for the 1/8" boost line! Bill
