Arrow 10K mod

Just did the 10K mod. Sweet Did it in the parking lot at work, washed my hands and drove home. Scott, you know that steep a$$ hill before my house? 60 MPH at the bottom and 75 at the top. Oh yeah!

HAha....I came up that hill when I came over to the house the other day. It's not steep enough for my truck to notice it was climbing it.

Pretty good little mod for $.99 eh?

If you like the 10K, and are feel like a little extra kick in the pants, wire up a 5.6K resistor inline with a toggle switch mounted wherever you want in the cab (idle is too rough to have it on all the time) then flip that puppy and hit the pedal! I think you will be pleased with the results. I think Kwikkordead has one wired up to a cool momentary switch oh his shifter if i'm not mistaken.

I had a 5.6 on mine but went back to the 10. The 5.6 gave a nice bottom end but took away topend power for some reason . The 10 k does great at both ends.

Straight from Baz's Site:

0kResistorMod

A 10k ohm resistor will raise the injection oil pressure approximately 200 psi. Increased injection pressure will deliver more fuel and will deliver more fuel sooner. This increase in fuel deliver and advance will yield higher combustion temperature but your exhaust gas temperature will remain almost steady. Such an efficient burn has it's down side. It will cause an idle rougher than stock. It may also cause the production of nitrous oxides. Thermal efficiency is a function of the high(absolute)temperature divided by low(absolute)temperature. In other words, the higher the peak combustion temperature in comparison to the exhaust temperature the more efficient is your engine.


Parts Needed
digital volt ohm meter
10k ohm resistor (1/2 or 1 watt)
2 fine copper wires 4" length
black tape

Procedure
1 Solder wire on resistor
2 Identify injection pressure sensor (on front of driver side cylinder head)
3 Test for voltage with key on and engine off
IPS has 3 connections:
+4.97V
+0.003V
+Output
Turn key off!
Connect resistor between output and 0.003V (do not cut any factory wires)
Slide fine wires into plug and reassemble
Cover bare wires with tape


I used a 1 watt .05 rated 10K resister. Soldered a 3" piece of wire on each side of the resister slide heat shrink over the entire part of the resister and about 1" of wire. Leave about 1" of the wire soldered on inside the heat shrink and seal each end to be sure with electrical tape. Then I stripped the wire back 1" I pulled out of the wire 5 strands and cut the rest away. Looking at the connector it looks like 2 eyes and a mouth put 1 wire in the right eye and the other in the mouth Blue/stripe and grey/stripe wire. I put the plug back into the ICP about 20 time until the check engine light did not come back on. If the check engine light comes back on you still have a open circuit. Just push it into there harder or pull it a part and put in again until no Check Engine Light comes on. It will if your work if you keep putting it in the plug and it seats.
