Got the Adrenaline and Pulse installed last night. So far I'm pretty impressed, but I already figured out I'm going to need a turbo if I turn it up much. Get's hot quick on 13. Running on level 7 it does alright. Going to start at level 1, the mileage setting, and go from there to find out where it gets the best mileage.

Can't get the search to work, so I've got a couple questions:

Lift pump pressure sits at 8 at idle. Drops to 2-3 psi when accelerating. Is this something I need to worry about? I just switched from a second gen., so I've gotten used to worrying about lift pumps.

Rail pressure is at 7,400psi or so at idle. Hits 28-29,000psi WOT. Are those numbers ok? Haven't got a 2mic filter put on yet, and I'm kind of worried about messing up the injectors.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

 

That LP pressure is normal with a stock pump...
Those RP numbers are high.
I run about 5500 @ idle, 11-13000 @ cruise and 20-21000 @ WOT...
I have mine turned down on the RP settings..
You want to stay under 23-24000 or so on the RP or you will be blowing the pressure relief valve. The high pressure wears the tip quickly...

I run my ADR on 3-4 most of the time...

 

The '03-04 run slightly lower rail pressure. I see in my '05 6500psi at idle, about 14-17,000 cruzin' (all +/-500psi). When you're not racing you're going to want to stay under 20,000psi rail pressure.

Lift pump pressure is fine for the time being. But you're going to want to get a different lift pump in the future. Personally getting down to 2-3psi is too low for me. I like to see minumally 10psi from the lift pump at all times.

You're going to want to minimally install a 2um fuel filter to keep the injectors lasting longer. Especially with running higher rail pressure.

 

I'm pretty sure your rp reading is wrong. The sensor can only read up 26500psi. The only way to read pass that is get a 6.7 sensor which I hear can read just north of 30000 psi.
Lp pressure like stated above is good.
Keep everyone posted on how it works!

 

How are people liking the adrenaline?

Anyone compared it to the Smarty?

I like the idea of the adrenaline, but haven't heard any good reviews on a 3rd gen.

 

Just running down the highway, normal driving, it stays under 20,000. So that sounds good. I probably will get a Raptor later on. Worked great on my 2nd gen. I'm going to get the Glacier 2micron kit, just haven't got it ordered yet. I just bought the truck a month ago.

 

I may be reading the rp wrong too. With the digital guage fluctuating so quick, it is hard to read. Maybe it's 25-26? I'll check it again tomorrow.

So far I'm liking it. Haven't had time to play with it much yet, trying to get a backhoe running...
