Ah I see. I think for now I won't mess with timing till I know more about it and get comfortable messing around w/ timing but thanks for the info!

I backed into a log the other day while working firewood, and just realized today that I dented my bumper. Minor dent, not worth fooling with.

truck was running pretty rough, miss firing and has a rapid violent shake when I try to hold a cruising speed. Pulled o2 sensor to see if that made a difference, it didn't. Checked wires on the distributor cap, they weren't routed right! What a difference right firing order makes. No more back fire, truck still wanted to shake a little at a cruising speed, but not as violent and rapid as before, can barely feel it.

Oh yeah. Forgot you'd have wet snow. In CO it was much lighter and I'd have to add. Good work man.


Yeah just for smog then swap M1 back. I'm going to see what kind of numbers with this setup using my Torque App.


I had purchased a new coolant temp sensor from Napa and put it into the keg to minimize time. Came to find out it was a bad one. Started this morning and instead of needle at the bottom mark, it shot up to like 150F.

Swapped the original back in and all is pie. Real PITA to get back there though. Fortunately, just yanking the alternator helps.

Put gas in the battery charger? What on earth... Nah, I'm just kidding! I did have to read that twice.

Well about a year ago painted the chrome mirrors black and well it started chipping so today I sanded it back down to chrome. scuffed it up some more and shot some bed liner over it to match my front and rear bumper. Only used one cost of bed liner on both bumpers and after a year it still looks new. I put about 5 coats on the stock chrome mirrors. Looks much better. Pulled the vents, locks, the little cubby thing in the door panel. Scuffed them up, shot a couple coats of primer. Tomorrow I will be painting it all red. To keep up with my black and red theme. Everything is looking good.

Used it as a bulldozer to help clear a fence line. Then my neighbor got his tractor stuck, so the old budget RAM came to the rescue and pulled him out. I still haven't put my front driveshaft in from the transfer case swapout, so I pulled him out in 2 wheel mode. It was awesome to rub it in his face, lol.

adjusted the timing amount, curve, and fueling/timing curves relative to boost...truck runs even better now

dropped my EGTs and going to get the benefits of increased timing without the surging in the upper RPM range.
