did you price check what SIIA or SIAA or whoever repaired the box truck's Cummins N14 ECU for relatively cheap?

performed HTR redyness TSB 25-001-07
data shows Sensor 2 bank 2 HTR duty pegged to 100% but HTR not drawing power. internal PCM fault.
wiring pined out and double checked all good.
took HTR power from bank one (working) and used in parallel control power to fire a relay to supply power to bank2 2ensor. added a 5th sensor to old bank 2 power wires (originally with out this and additional new code developed)
cleared all and drove 2 drive cycles, no lights yet. time will tell.
freaking signals, hazzards, horn not working any more randomly WTF

Tech / Re: New Tig Welder
« Last post by M4wdFab on April 10, 2024, 06:12:04 PM »so i have been learning some basic stuff i probably should have learned before jumping into this
tig torch cup size: number = hole size in 1/16" (ie #5 is 5/16", #8 is 8/16 or 1/2")
also: cup size X 2 is min recommended gas flow and cup size X 2.5 is max recommended gas flow in CU ft / hr of Argon
recommended tungsten stick out is also cup size in 1/16"
30% balance is recommended for oxidation cleaning portion of wave form (AC aluminum welding)
1 amp per 0.001" of material is standard
tungsten should be ground 30-35 degree point, and basically self balls / blunts. grind marks should be axially and not radially.
heat increases with arc length
120hz is most common starting point for AC aluminum. lower freq is wider/larger heat puddle (move faster) higher freq is tigher heat puddle (move move slower)
with aluminum the shielding gas is really just for the tungsten to keep clean. preflow of gas before arc like .5-1 seconds. post flow after arc like 10 seconds or until after tungsten is not orange will keep things clean. dont whip torch around crazy after arc end, keep still and let gas cool tungsten.
crazy amount of learning this week, its fun.
