I've been reading a post on Diesel Truck Resource (under VP44) that one poster states adding 2-cycle oil to your diesel fuel is in violation of EPA regulation and is punishable by a fine of up to $10,000. 00. Has anyone else heard of this? It's the first time I've encountered anyone stating...
I have the Quad XZT+ and like it very much. I had some surging problems early on but customer service continued to work with me and resolved the issue. Now it's running fine. 65-70+ HP and +3 MPG and multiple downloadable codes from their website makes this a useful tool. No experience with the...
I installed a standard Blue Chip VP-44 and have been quite satisfied. Better performance, better mileage, more peace of mind due to the new printed circuit and steel bushing. I now also run 2-cycle oil in every tank (1 ounce per gallon) to replace the lost lubrication since we've had to switch...
I loaded the XZT+_BETA1 code last night and it seems to have completely taken care of my shudder issue. The engine has smooth, continuous power output through all gears regardless of throttle demand; light or heavy. The only other difference from the last code I had loaded is that it seems to be...
I loaded the code they sent me and the shudder was reduced but not eliminated. I went to the web site and noticed that they had a new code posted that stated it would eliminate the shudder in both automatic and manual transmissions. I loaded that one and it shuddered the same as the code that...
I heard about running the 2-cycle oil in a posting on the Dodge Diesel Truck Resource (DDTR) web site forum. I use 4 pints per tank, my tank is 35 gallons. I've noticed improved fuel mileage, quieter running engine and VP44 and overall smoother performance. I currently get 21-22 mpg (hand...
My lift pump went out at 83k and soon after (about 1000 miles) the original VP44. I replaced the lift puump with the in-tank up-grade from Dodge and installed a new Blue Chip VP44. They feature new electronics and a steel bushing rather than the brass one that Bosch originally designed them...
I just received an updated code for my module from Quadzilla, which I'll dowload this weekend. Hopefully it will resolve this shuddering issue. I'll let all of you know how it works.
My is isn't in the drive line either. When the module is off, the truck runs very smoothly. The moment I turn it on to any setting the shudder returns are light throttle settings. I'm now running with the box off thinking that the shuddering may cause damage to my new Blue Chip VP44. And...
BTW, how do you like the xzt? I think my Ottomind has another bad wiring harness (that would be #3) so I'm thinking of just up grading the milage max and scrapping the Banks stuff. I'd loss some power though.
I do like the XZT+. Mileage is up and the power is great. It's the shudder that's...
I have a Quadzilla XZT + installed on my 2002 Cummins 5. 9 and have been experiencing what I can best describe as a shudder/surge when the throttle is lightly loaded. I have a new lift pump, new Blue Chip VP44, new fuel filter, Quadzilla Monster Air Intake and 92000 miles. Other than the shudder...
I know that Blue Chip dimensions all their Bosh replacement parts to new specifications, not simply that allowed by in service tolerances, that and the new printed circuit (computer) is why I purchased their rebuilt VP44. Also, the core charge isn't charged for 30 days.
This is just my...
I just put in a Blue Chip VP44 last week and it's made a tremendous difference in the performance of the truck. First time for me and it took about 4 hours. Very accurate remove/replace information from this forum. Great throttle response and much more power, it's quieter too. Blue Chip provided...
