I don't know yet????

 

No, they are externally regulated. Modern Chrysler products (post '90) use the PCM to regulate charging voltage.

 

Thanks! I had no idea.

 

Ramman,since your engine is out of a freightliner,you may have a leece -neville alternator. If you do,id try to keep it,it is a stronger,better alternator.if it is a leece neville,many of them are internally regulated.I put one in my CTD,it is internally regulated,just hook one power wire and your done.

 

Cool swap and congrats on getting it together so fast.

 

I've been able to drive it alittle more recently and there is alot of injector noise/rattle (I think that is what it is). It is very noticable when in the throttle . If I let off the throttle and coast the noise goes away.

What does it sound like when an injector goes south? Is there any test a scanner can do to determine if something is wrong?

A pic of the battery install... The cables I got from McMaster-Carr to connect the two batteries together worked perfect (not shown in this pic though).

 

The 05 engine That I have is from a 3500 Dodge dually,no idea if it had the security system and No idea how to tell yet. I will have to read more and get the schematic soon.

 

PM sent...

 

Did some more driving the last couple days. Even with the smarty on #5 it just felt slow to me (turbo is a little big with stock injectors maybe?). So I went ahead and bumped the smarty up to #9.

Much Much better....

This thing just needs more fuel to wake it up. The injector noise is bothering though. If I had any money left over I'd order injectors (Flux 1.8's) to swap in there.

 

Any way to get a video clip of the sound?

 

I was planning on doing just that. I'll try to get it tonight.

 

Try running a good dose of Power Service in it. As far as fuel. There should be the 230hp smarty tune soon. And you could always stack a quad box with your smarty.

 

The flux 1.8's should give it a nice boost in power as well as replace the stock injectors (that have had their share of issues). This way I can leave the smarty on smaller settings for everyday driving (the wife) and I can crank it up when needed...

I'll try some injector cleaner too. It's already got Howe's treatment in it now.

FWIW, I was there with Marco and Bob Wagner when they were dialing in the 230 hp tune at Floor It Diesel. It's the real deal...

 

It's official, I've entered the ROTM contest. Thanks for all the great feedback so far everyone...

Here's a picture I took during the middle of the ice storm... I moved everything out to the field, because I knew most of the branches in our trees would come down (and they did)...

 

I started a new post on the injector rattle or valve train noise question I have. I put a link to the youtube video in there as well.
