TurnedUp

[Harrison]

I am in CT... but Metro Fuel. Same place I got DV o-rings from, small local place recommended to me. Didn't ask about price, but I'm happy to support them. It's between $6-10 online for 1 pint which treats 125gal.

so the diplomat is back up to 58mph now?

I'm going to hope that's because you use yours in sand dunes. Hoping Luke's will do for the duty mine sees. If not, I will cave and build something I guess.

Another question for Brett: I am getting considerably more smoke, residue in my tailpipe, and feels slightly down on power. Thinking the 15w-40 batch I made last time really needed some gas added to thin it out. Lesson learned, but I'd like to clean things out. What do you normally do in this situation? Chad said he ran his down to nothing then added 10gal #2 and 125gal worth of Stanedyne fuel treatment. Got it hot, let it sit, ran worlds better the next day. I was thinking of grabbing some Power Service and doing the same since I'm not sure where to buy Stanedyne locally. Unless you have a better suggestion on product or procedure...

Hit 4k miles running WMO blend on the way to work today.

My Luke's link didn't last driving to work/school. No off roading at all.

I had this issues too. I have not found a solution yet other than get 50% or higher of D2 in the tank then she cleans right up but it'll come back when I go heavy on WMO again though.

Every time I drive through heavy rain, my smoke got significantly reduced so I'm considering water/meth injection with a big tank as I want it to start spraying at 5psi.

I'm not sure if its just in my head but since I got back home in Chicago for a bit before the school start again, I drive like I stole my truck as its how things is around here especially everyone seem to think they need to cut me off, my smoke became way less... Maybe drive with heavy right foot will make a difference?

On the power thing, the power came back instantly when go back to D2. That's all I know.

The inside of the tailpipe on my truck have good amount of build up and some got on my rear bumper.

I ran a ton of hydraulic fluid, diesel oil and bunch of unknown WMO without any serious issues other than smoke and cold start/idle.

Thanks, Brett.

Bought a thing similar to Luke's, same price but it's threaded and weld-on, and uses a metal cup instead of nylon. Almost turns it into an adjustable threaded joint kinda thing. We'll see.

I changed the fuel filter, didn't make much difference. This morning, I romped on it the entire way to work. It did seem to help a little. Darker smoke, smoother idle. I think I'm still going to run this down to nothing and try running a bottle of Stanedyne with 5-10gal of D2 per Chad's suggestion.

Mollie and Reid bought a house with comparable working space to our current place, and are all for having a 250gal storage for WMO onsite. Once we're settled, I will probably follow suit with you and Spencer and start just running W85.

Planning to rebuild my stock turbo soon and incorporate some boost control back into things. I have never tried to see how high it will go, but I can do 40 without trying to hard. Pry limit to 30-35.

Opinions: are 37s too tall? Was thinking about spending $125/tire or whatever from Trailworthy for four good OZs. Calculator says with 4.10s, I'll still be a little shallower than Spencer with 285s and 3.55s. A hair over 1900 cruising at 70. If Chad can get the Vision hookup, that would be sweet. But no news on that so far.

my phone was dieing last night sorry i didnt respond. 


Not really looking to sell my 19.5 SRWs  if they dont go for extra $$ with the dodge i will keep them for trailer wheels for an 8 lug thing

[Harrison]

Ok, no problem. Thanks.

You said they came off a truck that drove on railways or something?

[M4wdFab]

they are wheels off a CSX truck yes

[M4wdFab]

many web wheelers make fun of the off set, its probably 1" in than stock.  i bought 2" wheel spacers and they were too wide so i just run them as is.  id go 245s next set of tires though. 

[KingtheZJ]

A hair over 1900 cruising at 70.

i'm pretty sure im right at 2k @ 70. let me check again. imo, its alllllmost a little shallow for not lugging it in 6th

[Harrison]

Maybe difference in speedo readings? The calc also says I should be doing 2075 with my current setup at 65mph, but it's more like 2300

[mr.mindless]

It's not like it's bad to have to drop one hole for the big hills. It's probably better for your economy overall. Shame that it's such a big step with the little transmissions, going from 2k to 2500 sucks.

[Nick]

I like trying to run above 2k towing. If I were to plan what you are trying to do I would shoot for 2100 at 70. It will keep the egt way down and probably be same gas milage not that matters

[M4wdFab]

my 24 valve pulls hard from 1800-2200 

3.55s and had same 285s spencer has


i thought at 70 i was more close to 1900


which is why i had towing at 65-68 with most people.  its just annoying. id rather tow at 58-60 in 5th

[Harrison]

65-67 is all I've got. 70 has it screaming.

I like the way it feels around 58-60, right around 2000

[Harrison]

I can't tell WTF these things are, but they are sweet!!! Look like recaps of some kind probably.

Might lowball and see what happens. Wheels are cheap.
