    Parking brake mechanism issue? DRW 3500 Won't take up slack.

    How have you have the star adjusters set? Of the pads and rotors are new, you should be able to adjust them to be snug when sliding the rotors on. If the rotors went on easy, they are too loose. You can, with some difficulty, adjust them through the ports on the inside

    Fuel rail pressure

    I'm thinking the same. When doing experiments with my FICM boards, if I had the injectors connected wrong or something in the programming, it would dump lots of fuel into the exhaust and smoke badly. After correcting it or returning to stock, it would take a few miles to clear up due to how...

    The controller back by the spare tire? That one has been known to get water in it and do as you describe

    LB7 (E54/AL5/FICM) J1939 messages

    And if I'm remembering correctly, it was one way with the FICM not receiving messages. Only broadcasting. The FICM basically ignores everything on the network and only broadcasts when it powers on and when it reports a code/error Or in other words, there is no messages on the network that are...

    I'm pretty sure all the information you want is on that line. If I'm not mistaken, when kidturbo sniffed it, it was basically GMlan or canbus. Same protocols if I remember correctly

    I far as we know, there is a message broadcast on the J1939 right after power up stating "all is well" or some such message. I think this gets broadcast every so often. But I can't recall for sure Then there is the codes. Off the top of my head, injectors codes, bank codes, and FICM performance...

    Fuel rail pressure

    Pretty simple. MPa is the pressure being used. 1 MPa = 145 PSI uS is the time the injectors are open for. us = microseconds or 1 millionth of a second The mm3 or quantity is how much fuel was delivered during that test. Lastly the return is how much fuel was returned from the return port...

    I put in several hundred feet of drip irrigation for my Mom years ago. Put it on a timer and everything. She still goes out with a hose and manually waters the plants. She keeps the drip irrigation valve off and uses the garden hose. I think it givers her something to do. Makes her feel like she...

    Fuel rail pressure

    Would it make sense to do a compression test and put the highest flowing in the lowest compression and lowest flowing in the highest compression so the power per cylinder is roughly evened out? Smother idle and less balance rate deviation?

    Aluminum Radiators?

    Let's go back to making them out of copper and brass and lead solder. Then they might last.

    That's how I did it. Actually do it by feel on all of those. So probably cheating

    Fuel rail pressure

    You can, but it is advised to replace them. They sometimes stretch enough that the clamping force drops low enough that it can leak combustion gas. If they have already been reused once before, consider replacing them Torque specs are without lube. I wouldn't have any issues lubing them as long...

    Yep. And I just saw recently that they finally just laid a short section of track and the politicians are throwing themselves a party and congratulating themselves for how good they are doing 🤬

    There is a sub section in the forum with all our vendors . PPIE, K&D, and Top Notch can probably all get you whatever you need

    We've had a section of the 50 freeway near Sacramento that's been under construction for (officially) almost 6 years. But it's actually about 10 years now. They just rename the project and give it a new schedule. They are consistently closing a bunch of lanes and slowing traffic. Always the same...
