str86diesel Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 the stock HX30 wastegate is set for 25-27 lbs (stock rating is around 320hp at the crank) Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str86diesel Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 There are plenty of chips on the market, the issue is that they are all geared towards Horsepower and the issue with HP is that it takes additional fuel to make. The only way to conserve fuel is to cut back the timing of the pump or cut back on HP, thus not needing as much fuel. The problem with diesels is that typically no matter how you drive them, they typically always get about the same mileage. I've been after a way to conseve fuel on my truck as well. I'm tired of paying the current prices like many others and to be honest with you, the only item that I have found works is using the cruise control as often as possible. My truck has gone from 17.5 to 18.2 by just doing this...lol I'll keep my eye open for you and see what I can find.

str86diesel Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 To be honest with you, without having a service manual for a duramax, i'm not sure if they will give you back a trouble code on which one is bad. When i've worked on fords in the past, the only way that I knew how to determine the bad one was by pulling them all out and inspecing them. Usually when one goes bad the others will follow soon, so I've always just replaced them all. I'm doin good..same ole same ole. How you doin? did the doc finally release you to work?

SplPhreak Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Hey bro..no problem. This section isn't about "me" it's about us helping out our bruthas. Feel free to step in and help out. You do bring up some very valid points on shifting and wastegating. As far a the twins, I ran several different setups in both my personal 2000 Cummins and my race truck. For my personal truck I stuck with an HX55 and HX40 setup. On a normal day, punching the throttle would put out about 75lbs of boost. If I turned on the drugs, they'd get up to 102lbs. Took me about 2 1/2 years working with a group of turbo engineers to get it perfected. not to get off topic... but what the fuck. over 100 lbs of boost http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/01nocomment8so.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesels put out much more boost than gassers. Anyone here that has a diesel and has modded the fuel system and exhaust it is easilly getting 35-50lbs Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURRITO Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 hey kev! so im about to replace the carrier bearing in the duramax again... i need to know if its worth having a one piece driveline built. im thinking chevy had to put that weak link in there for some reason. i still only pull my toy hauller with it, but i have added a little sand duning and muddin to the mix! any info would be great. thanx, Jeff Quote Barretto MotorsportsTeam RFCTeam CHMTeam SMD "Blow Sand"Live Your Life Without Boundaries... http://www.jeffbarretto.acnrep.com/d_oppor...A=US_EN&BW= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
