Heard from Micah at ODRA.
John Issacs, from Floor-It-Diesel, will be there to operate his Dyno. (for anyone interested in duscussing modified CP3's).
I've heard it's a very accurate dyno, set up just for diesel trucks. He will be dynoing till 6 pm (if he brings a pulling truck).
Even later if he does not sled pull.

An accurate dyno?? I have never heard of such a thing?

Next your going to tell me it will give torque numbers!!

Believe it when I see it!

 

I specifically asked about TQ readings. Micah was not sure but thought so. He's checking.

I just got off the phone with Floor It Diesel and Johns wife said running torque numbers is no problem with their dyno.

See you all soon!!

Nice...John is doing the Dyno this year? Yall tell him hey for me....SUPER nice guy!

 

Sweet.... Looking forward to it...

Anybody know how the sign up is going to go? Start at 8am when the dyno starts?? Just dont want to end up late on the list if I can help it...

Where did I get 8am from?? Was that somewhere??

 

Can I get on the list for 12 noonish??

Boy this year has been bad for me being ill. I hardly ever get sick. I mean years since I have been.

Well the last week of January I had the Flu for a week. Now I just got sick again with a bad ear infection, sore throat. Finally broke down and went to the doc and got some meds (antibiotics). The temp fluctuations last weekend I think are what brought it on......20 degrees one day...then 80 or so the next.


I need to get well...........I got some stuff I need to get done!!!

..

 

I know what you mean. I work nights and the start of the shift is short sleeve weather and by 11 or 12 have to put on a jacaket or freeze to death.

 

Really. Just get cold and stay cold. Or get warm and stay warm (but not to warm). I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind.

I just wish it would rain.... lake is hurting pretty bad and burn bans suck! I need about 10" over 2-3days... that will do...

 

It's just like they say Robert - once you hit 40 it's all downhill... you can borrow my wheelchair anytime you need it...

 

As far as the common rail electronic viscous fan drive - it's engagement is modulated by the ECM based on sensor inputs from coolant temp, A/C pressure, intake manifold air temp & tranny fluid temp (autos)... supposed to be variable from free-wheeling to full lockup.

There are 5 wires (out of 6 pin-outs) in the harness, so it isn't as simple as you'd think - but if Pin 1 is switched to battery ground it should provide full engagement from idle to rated speed. Since the fan hub uses silicone fluid for coupling - without a mechanical "clutch" - lockup ratio varies from about 97% at idle to 74% at rated speed.

Ostensibly Max, if you broke the Pin 1 circuit with an in-cab toggle you could prevent the hub from coupling. Chris could probably confirm it for you.

 

Mike thanks for the info, ill do some more research. yesterday water gauge had not even come off its peg at 140* and the fan was howling away, No AC on.

I recieved my used ISSPRO's today. and plan to install them this evening or this weekend sometime.

question: what is the best way to go about finding a wire that is connected to my factory gauges that is capaple of dimming? wire location and colo would be excellent, i am going to try and google it too.

Max

EDIT: i should have looked before i posted this Q. i read around and it looks like the orange with black stripe wire is the one to use.
