Well, I took it to their shop and they used some 500.00 fuel gauge. It read 25lbs, LOL. I think the gauge has a problem. I drove it up to Oregon yesterday to do some work and today I will see Clay with riff raff. They are having a tech day near Albany so I am sure we can get it figured out then. LOL

I cannot believe the difference with the shim. No more blown lines but lots and lots of power.

Cody, REALLY???!!! u show me where i told someone to take a search and THEN i will think about being ashamed.. LoL. i was just telling 95_Dually to make sure his fuel pressure is between 60-70 psi. LoL. BUT YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THAT "BURNOUT" LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahaha. its all good though we get some ladder bars built and if you wanna do that cut out with the CNC machine just let me know so i can try to find steel and we need to figure out how you would want it cut out(which parts are in and which parts are out).

95_Dually, it would take you 5 seconds to figure out your fuel pressure if you use a cheap tire pressure guage. we only say cheap just in case the diesel screws it up eventually.

I was ashamed of that burnout. It wasn't even a burnout. I'm ashamed of my traction bars. That thing hopped like a jackrabbit. I thought we were gonna see a driveshaft roll out from under the truck. LOL

And I'm not the almighty, and I'm not the bad guy here. And I'm certainly not serious. You guys are great, but the guy needed instructions, and nobody would take the time to write them. I'm just sayin' LOL

Sometimes I am stubborn. I didn't want to use a tire guage to check the fuel pressure. I wanted to use a fuel guage. I don't know why, see the first sentence.LOL
Tomorrow I will use a tire guage and check it out. Right now I am kicking my own butt. Feel free to ridicule me because I deserve it.

I was wondering if the EDGE will work with all of the mods on this site or will it wreck havoc on everything. I will be getting a REAL tuner soon but for now I like what I have since it is paid for.LOL

LoL. dude, those freaking brackets are taking me FOREVER to build since i DO NOT want to weld to my rear end i'm using some of that huge pipe and trying to bend it just enough so the u bolts on the leafs will get tight then going from there. still trying to get those done, but i will finish that part in the morning. oh yeah so nitrous is a good idea and i'm sure it won't hurt for one day and me and roy had ONE more thing up our sleeves btw... you know how roy has a set of stage 2's????? hahahahaha

i ran an edge evo with a 10k mod and then i also ran an edge evo with stage 1's and a 10k mod. after blowing my IPR o-rings twice i decided to back off of the 10k a little and went to the original 10k mod instead of the 22k i was running and felt no loss of power and didn't blow anymore o-rings. not sure it was the 10k mod doing it but i like the original way. just take a 10k resistor and put it between the insulation on the ICP plug on 2 wires and i will say DO NOT TOUCH THE BROWN WIRE!!! LoL

Ok, I used a tire guage to check the fuel pressure. Witht the BB installed, I have 50 psi. I know the tire guage is accurate on air because I checked it against my best tire guage which is also used for putting air in tires. So now what? Do I need to install a 2nd BB?LOL
