All the 12V items are on the Earth side battery - there is a 24v-12v converter in the rig - on the Starter side -

Thenissue on a tune is - it’s a point in time. As “density” altitude changes - so does the tune of the vehicleand the performance. Mines a 1981 - not a new vehicle - and there’s a reason new vehicles have computers on them - mine does not. What year TD are you driving?

LOL - sorry - they don't apply here but: TOT - Turbine Outlet Temperature TGT - Turbine Gas Temperature Not to be confused with TIT - Turbine INLET Temperature (which is a LOT hotter than EGT - which is measured at the OUTLET - FYI)

24V - in series. Driver side is on the left (North American BJ42) - From left to right - Starter to Battery (it's dark outside - so don't quote me - but I think - Positive to Starter - Negative to Postive on the other battery on the RHS - then Ground from Negative on Bat post to Frame). I...

boost is good to have EGT is NEED to have - you can save your motor AND turbo life with your EGT - I am a retired military pilot - TOT/TGT/EGT all were things we used in normal flight

Team - was having problems with the passenger side (earth side) battery staying charged. I replaced both batteries with Optima's but still having the same issue. Thinking it could be the alternator - but the starter side battery isn't having any issues so far. Anyone see this before? Best...

Have you checked the vacuum lines on the throtle body - sounds EXACTLY like what happened to me a few months back

i have an 81 BJ42 with an Aluminum tub - love it! The tops getting some rust around the bottom rear corners - Anyone know of there are aluminum or fiberglass options out there? TIA

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :-) made my day

Thanks all :) She runs like a beast again. I think I need to tear off every hose on this baby and replace them with new ones. Good holiday tasks for my boy and I over thanksgiving

I went back with the factory style. The line I got was too small (inner diameter) so I'll go back and replace it later - but 10lbs of boost is back - she is running like a charm!

FIXED FIXED - FIXED and FIXED.... I have boost again - Thank GOD I knocked that damn dry-rotted line off or I never would have figured this out! SO much help - all golden now! I'll post pictures when it quits raining - :-)

THANKS TEAM! - love this site - will be replacing the vacuum lines to the throttle body today and see if that is the fix for the loss of turbo pressure. will keep ya posted.

I’m going to replace them both tomorrow. I’m still trying to figure out the low boost issue. Going to fix those lines - replace the air filter - then test the waste gate and will start looking for a leak somewhere in the boost side of the turbo. The wastegate is pressure actuated - not...

I’ll replace it tomorrow. It looks like the original was Gerry rigged. Anyone have a picture of what the proper install looks like? Thank you!
