Any body else???
Is anybody going to "participate" in anything at Crandall?? I think they are having a Dyno, Sled Pull, and Drags. I'm considering the dyno (with new injectors now) and maybe some drags......but wish'n I had more turbo. (I thought I would by now, but $$$ priorities keep getting in the way)

count me out.. Have fun snap photos!.
I really want to make it down to NM and get on the same rollers and see how the Flux's, turbo, Dr. P box, exhaust helped me out. I am surely above the previous 446, 1119.

Does anyone have any ideas where to pick up a Schrader valve like the ones used in the stock fuel system? I need one with a male 1/8" NPT fitting on the back. There were a couple included when I bought my fuel pressure test gauge, but they've managed to disappear or stay attached to trucks I've tested over the years.
I think my electric fuel pressure gauge is dying on me. I've been seeing higher than normal pressures lately (20idle, 18 driving, 16 pushing hard) and I don't think my LP got stronger in its old age. Then I noticed this morning that with the engine and LP off, but the key on, I'm seeing about 3psi on the gauge. And I doubt the fuel system is holding pressure.
I just wanted to put my test gauge on it to check the readings when I realized I didn't have any Schrader valves to put into my test port.

Well I dodged a bullet tonight......with my transmission....that is. I was on my way home from work and my trans quit shifting beyond 2nd. I could push the accellerator and nothing......it wouldn't do a thing over about 40-45 mph. It was like it was coasting until it got down below say 35 mph and then it would grab and go again....until 40-45ish, again.
Eventually, I called Rowland to see if he had any tips or had experienced anything like that with his DTT. And I had also called James Northum and left a message.
I limped the truck home in the far right lane of 75 and flashers on at about 40 mph. James called back and after I gave him the codes he thought it might be my "transmission rpm speed sensor". Thankfully, Ghettozone was still open and had the replacement part. I put it in a couple of minutes and it road tested good as new. The old one was cracked. Anyway, thankfully the Black Beast lives on for now.
Thanks Rowland for your input and a big Thankyou to James Northum for diagnosing a quick (AND CHEAP $20.00 part!) fix over the phone.
