    99 PSD XLT Key Fobb question

    Get in the truck and shut the door. Place key in ignition and cycle it between off and where you would turn the glow plugs on over and over. I don't remember the number of cycles that it takes but the door locks should start to lock and unlock as you cycle the key. This is when you would...

    42.26MPG!!!!

    I'm getting about the same with my Jetta. Take that thing on a 8hr drive with the cruise set. The sad thing is that I drove a $&%^&! Prius last week while I was on travel and it only got 49mpg. Not very impressive considering vehicle cost and long term maint. Scott

    Fuel Pressure Guage?'s

    Just got done. I put a 1/4"SAE fitting with a schraeder valve on for now until I get a good liquid filled or in-cab guage. Scott

    Fuel Pressure Guage?'s

    I'm going to install a fuel pressure guage under the hood. I plan on using one of the ports on the back of the fuel bowl. What size fitting is it? Scott

    Dead truck.

    None until March but then let's just say that the PCM will be marked "Return to Sender" :D I am definitely going to go to single shots and since I have the PCM I'll get that re-flashed along with a chip to match. It should make checking codes easier if needed.(oh and not to mention the...

    Vaccume collection systems???

    55 Gallon drums will hold about 5 psi before the bottom pops and becomes dome shaped. You will know have a drum with a round bottom. Scott

    Dead truck.

    Mike, mine is in the fuse box under the hood. It was a last resort, after the PCM didn't work I just got fustrated and started tracing circuits and testing everything. Finally got to the relay and put 12vdc on the control side and got no clicky clicky. The heater blower uses the same relay so...

    Dead truck.

    Truck is running. It was the PCM Power Relay. Now I have a PCM just laying around. Can you say "re-flash" and "single shot"? ;Sweet Scott

    Vaccume collection systems???

    I use a cheap barrel pump. It takes about 10 minutes of cranking to empty the 55 gallon collection drum. I didn't see any reason to spend a lot of money into something I was doing to save money. Scott

    Dead truck.

    No fuel so no smoke. The pump is not running at all. It does operate when 12vdc is applied to it from an external source. What has me confused is there is no SES and no codes. I have PCM on the way from Jody and it will be here tomorrow afternoon. If that does not fix it I'm not sure what...

    Dead truck.

    Here are the symtoms: Engine cranks, No voltage to: Fuel pump, GPR, and Fuel Heater Relay. All fuses are good. No wait to start light, SES, or Tach movement. I have changed the CPS. Batteries are less than a year old. Chip has been pulled. Any ideas? Scott

    We tried our first batch.....

    Darling is up here too. I noticed that when I picked up on Saturday that their dumpster was gone. The bar and grill canceled their service 4 months ago. I look at it this way: If I can LEGALLY haul a 55 gallon drum of methanol in the back of my truck, than there is no problem hauling 55...

    Sources for materials

    Daryl & Scott, where are you guys getting your methanol and how much are you paying? Scott

    We tried our first batch.....

    I'm using KOH. I just asked them how much more it would cost them for the rendering service to pick it up vice me picking it up and them changing their oil more frequently. Scott

    We tried our first batch.....

    I'll second that. 14 is absolute chit! I have been having a hard time find places with less than a titration of 6. I will not anything over 4. My one source is providing me with anything between 2 and 3. I usually just take a mason jar to potential sources and they give me a sample when...

    Pre Filtering your WVO...

    I save all my saw dust and mix the gycerin with it. Makes a very good and stable fire starter. I only use it out doors for bon fires, etc.... Scott

    I usually only have a few chunks and they are taken out with my pre-filtering set up. Scott

    Pre Filtering your WVO...

    FWIW, I welded a bung near the bottom of a 55 gallon drum and installed the upper heating element that I removed when I built my processor. It is just above the drain valve. I generally heat the oil to 180*F and then filter it. Also, this barrel is on a platform above the other barrel with...

    So how do you guys handle reluctant restraunts?

    Don't bother withthem. When I first started, I took a gallon sample home and tested it each time they cleaned their fryers for three weeks. The samples were all very good (titration was a 2) so I put out a 55 gallon drum. After 2 months he canceled his service. The rendering Co. then told...

    Bio-diesel Additive

    Put a small mason jar full in the fridge, also a thermometer. Find out what temp it clouds or turns solid. Scott

    Quicker auto shifts needed

    I talked to him on Tuesday. There is no problem with the tranny at all. I just really needed to know if I would be better off using electronics or bigger holes to do what I want. The tranny has been great. When I had it built I told him daily driver/family hauler and that I didn't want super...

    Maddog's Cummins powered F350

    Last time I saw his truck, it was on a trailer. This was at the NW Nationals last year in Auburn, WA. I think he trailers the truck to events.

    Quicker auto shifts needed

    I'm planning on calling him in the morning. I have a feeling that I will drilling some larger holes in the VB. My only concern is that it is a daily driver and I don't want the super hard shifts when hauling the family, just when hauling a$$. Scott

    Quicker auto shifts needed

    Went to the track today and found that the tranny is very slow to up shift while at WOT. When I ordered the tranny Brian said that I didn't have to increase line pressure with a chip. I am thinking about getting a re-burn. Should I get my extreme program with some tranny programming or do a...
