All monitors are akin to the KJ1611, you've got to take the entire report and learn to gauge them against one another. I was convinced either a dummy plug or the ICP. Ran the same with ICP unplugged but that wasn't good enough for me since a new ICP is half the price and a fraction the trouble. but anyway I checked mine when it would just shut down, IPR was at 85% closed. The biggest diagnosing mistake I made (with these guys telling me as I was doing it) I was constantly running my batteries down and not running or charging them completely back up. I could get it to start but it was a long, slow crank sending me chasing my tail as it had many perimeters below acceptable...Obviously. Mine would run like new but when it finally grew worse as quick as I soused the skinny pedal it acted as if I was running fuel out of bowl. To a degree that's what was happening. Mine would start back up exactly as if you run any vehicle out of fuel, but once it started after primed, most times I'd be embarrassed and aggravated I'd sit there and roll a couple hundred off my Toyos out of ignorance. It would idle after smoke cleared, run fine and I'd naturally think "just needed aired out" mash on it and try to find a soft spot to land. These trucks are a lot like small engine aircraft if you are running 50 or better and when she goes, You have 8k # of moment to get safety landed. Anyway, in short, what sootie said. My oil was low as well and in need of changing. The trucks can be as bad as you want them, but their finicky and fickle once anything is slightly out of engineered values. A side note to prop that up, I finally could t stand tne reviews on tne 6.4 banjo swap and did mine. I'm not terribly happy with results and if you compare the two I'm forced to believe the truck isnt operating as efficiently. I'm rolling coal now at WOT. It even changed the cadence (still sounds mean as hell) but I'm considering going back. Thoughts? And no...still no fuel pressure gauge. Needed to get coolant filter out of the way but that is next (and tires :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro [/QUOTE]
