| MM and 550, I've got a pyro (it even works lol), just no boost gauge I'll have to look into that. At one time it had cruise the after market one made in MN for trucks and rv's and it looks like the only thing missing is the module and I think that is pretty pricey so I will have a sore right calf for a while lol. Before I do any of the above I have to find some steady accounts or none of the rest will matter |

| Well from what i remember the B models didnt run much over 600*F when cruising and not much over 850*F when pulling a decent hill. Your safe up to 1200*F so if you do end up turning up the fuel a tad, dont let it go beyond 1200*F, also if it does get up there over 1100*F dont hold it there for to long on that B, the newer engines can stay there for much longer, especially the accert kitty with their lower compression and one piece pistons.

| Thank's guy's, yeah I am trying the car haul gig, Started out really good but like most of the country thing's have slowed down a-lot. I try not to let it get over 900 pullin hills so I get passed by everybody (even a couple of pumkin's) but I figure if I take it easy and don't beat on it the truck should last and I won't have ant big repair bills (I can dream, can't I) |

| You gotta keep the revs up on that motor, its gutless below 1600rpm. It should stay below 900 on a pull with full throttle, if its getting higher then you most likley have a boost leak of some sort, maybe cracked air cooler. If you lug it low then it will run hot on the pyro, the B model had a very free flowing exhaust manifold and turbo exhaust housing and they wouldnt build much boost at lower rpm's do to that. So lets say at 1400rpm if you lug it a lil and you go full throttle, get all the fuel but lets say only get 15psi of boost for 25psi amount of fuel the pyro will read hot.

| 1600 rpm is the magic number, but with the rockwell 10 sp it seems like a big gap between 9 and 10. I guess I need to hold it a little longer on the biger hills |
