Oh yeah...and I always take gloves and tools and for the trip a small step ladder. I ain't the tallest guy in town @ 5'8.5".
The FX4 with camper pkg is bit taller than most stockers. There is no way I'd ever lift it w/o an escalator.

When I am sure nothing bad happened to the beast while @ Prestige I'll program it in.

A little oil from the cylinder gets into the intake trac. This is normal and is noted normal in the 6.0 Bible.

Off this subject, do you know of a way to measure the air/fuel mixture on a diesel motor, since it has no O2 sensors? Im pretty sure i need to monitor it when running nitrous, and i would like to install a nitrous shutoff if the fuel leans out for whatever reason. I know this is easily done on a OBDII compliant gas engine with sensors, but how do I do it on these beasts?

I think my problem is the turbo outlet is slick and has a very small raised band at the end, too small to retain the hose and clamp. I plan on taking some course emory cloth to it to knurl it and make it rough enough that the hose and clamp will get some "bite".

Aha! I found the answer to my own question, if anyone would like to know. You can install 02 sensors on a diesel just like a gas engine. The stoichometric ratio difference between gas and diesel is within 1/10 of the same; therefore (according to RSR, http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/rsrgauge.htm) the 02 sensors from a gas engine should work just fine. I will call this company tomorrow to confirm this; it will mucho simplify this issue.
I just need to set the nitrous cutoff with a little bit of leeway, since it will be off a small amount. It should work fine as a saftey device, however. And yes, Bob, I will call Ken E. to confirm it with him also. I suppose a lean fuel mixture with nitrous is not something to fool around with; I would be willing to bet you would know. Have you ever had one lean out on you?
