I was using my 4.7 at very short intervals but switched it back out for the 10. I didn't want to chance it. Turbos are way to expensive for me to take that kind of chance.

I don't think 1 or 2 seconds would max you out, but anything beyond that your g-force sensors might get hooked and not want to let up.

10K no mod

Guys,

10k mod doesn't do anything but turn on the check engine light. Are any of you using this on a 2002 7.3 PSD?

It works for any year 7.3, you might have hooked it to the wrong wires or didn't make good contact or something like that.

yea cookie is right.... you eather installed them in the wrong way... or you didn't make good contacts... go back and fiddle around with it... i got lucky cause mine worked on the first try... also... how are you installing them? i would go through the purple gasket thing on the top and carefully slide the wires in... makes for much better contacts...imo...hope this helps!

Question

This is what I did. I thought I would try the basic setup to see how it worked then if I was happy with the results i was going to assemble with a variable resistor and switch in the cab..

I soldered a 5inch piece of wire to each end of the resistor and routed the wires into the connector as shown with the leads bent then reconnected. Tried several times with no luck.

I'll give it another try tomorrow. I just don't see how I wansn't making a connection seemed to be pretty secure

the directions that I went by said that if the check engine light does not cycle off then one wire is wrong.
