    Another FDC bypass question

    For now I think I am going to wait for other maintenance. I think if I keep it well below the yellow I will be ok. I've got some small leaks at the #1 and #6 exhaust manifold, looks to be either oil or exhaust residue. Eventually I will pull the heads and when I do I will move the egt probe and...

    Just looked up the egt installed to review the install instructions. I understand why they installed post, but agree it's not as accurate as pre. But since it's designed for post I will likely need to change it.

    Another FDC bypass question

    From reading about the temp differences between pre and post I've seen some statements of 200–300-degree difference and 400 to 500 differences. I think the hottest mine has gotten is 450 - 500, which I think is still safe. Not sure why a previous owner installed it post and I will look moving...

I try to stay 2000 rpm or less always. Tomorrow I’ll watch the tach more and the EGT. Cruising on level ground...

    Ran great. Slightly hotter - got up to 450-500 but not a big hill. I was able to pull it in 4th high all the way. I will check on a longer/steeper one close by, but the wife had had enough. Forgot ear protection. 2nd gear a little easier to get into. Maybe because I'm learning, maybe because...

    Another FDC bypass question

    I know how to do this, and I understand it gives more power. But from what I have read it changes the full throttle stop for different fuels. More throttle for gas, less for diesel. So it really only gives more power at full throttle from what I have read. Then also I may need to turn down the...
