I watch a lot of his vids. Dieseltechron and a few others. Have for a long time so I feel fairly knowledgable what to monitor and maintain maintain maintain. My mpg has always been 13.5ish. It went down when I had those battery issues couple years ago. Couple months ago I tuned with IDP via the X4 and I'm up to 15-15.5. Hand calculated. Lieometer is off with gears n tires. Most I talk to locally here don't believe me. Tells me I should have done that long ago.

Good morning FTE!!!

Morning Grant. I've done that from under the truck. Got 95-100 degrees on all cylinders. I may recheck today once it starts running rough. The exhaust manifold is so stubby it's hard to get a good read.

All good Gerry. Trouble shooting with a test injector, ficm and harness we found my ficm dead on 4 n 6. Buddy who's helping me with borrowed tools (test injector and fuel pressure gauge) works in Wpg at a big diesel shop. They stock Aliant injectors, ficms ect. Go pick one up in the morning then optimistic it'll fix my issue. If not, I may have made an error rebuilding. Either way it takes a couple 3 hours to dig into and repair. SO, hopefully back up and running by tomorrow.
Back to stock tuning (ficm and ecu) she barely wanted to move with 2 sticks down. Lol.

Hope everyone's evening is going well!!!

Good luck Curtis

Yes John. I'm off next week. Going to the pick a part tomorrow morning for the e-brake parts I need. They just got an Aerostar in. It should 10'' brakes. I need the shoe levers, and I'll probably grab the cable adjuster and connector. If it's the right color, I may grab some shoulder harness seat belts.

Morning boys. Which one did you choose Morris? The bike looks like the most fun for the heat. I've been getting the itch myself.

$4200 dollars damage to the truck. I will know Monday if they deem it worthy to repair or not. Have a great weekend everyone, its going to be another scorcher here!!
