I got the upper. Works fine. Up and out of the way is why I chose it. Up and out of the way means youāre looking up and out of the way though. A place youāre not normally looking.
Know I think the lower would be better. In the same line as all the dash gauges.
What you described sounds very similar to my experience with my ā21 JTRD. Long drive under load, Christmas Dash lights, derate, cool down, all good except a CEL.
The first thing I would do. Get some DEI heat wrap for the wire harness that goes down front passenger cowl towards the DPF. This was...
Agree. Before getting the latest offering from PSC, I was close to going custom. Installing the belt driven pump in the same place as the electric pump. Coming up with an idler and custom pulley. So happy I didnāt have to go down that road. But I still think itās doable.
Donāt think a belt driven pump is going to happen. Especially since 3.0 is not offered anymore.
I did end up with PSC remapped electric pump (1800psi full time) not variable psi as factory. Along with PSC gear box plus ram. Works surprisingly good. Donāt think I need belt driven pump.
I had...
Maybe I did not explain it very well. However you already know all about electricity, connectors, wiring and moreā¦.lol.
You did ask for an experienced Electricianā¦.That is me.
The point I was trying to make is extreme heat, extreme cold, extreme temperature change causes things too expand and...
An Electrical Short.
I havenāt read up on the PS fire issue. A connector could have an internal short. Oil seeping in could also cause a short.
Heat is usually the cause. Heat may create the opening for a short. Once cooled down the actual short is created.
Short answer. Tapped into the factory ports, bottom of oil filter housing. From there to an Amsoil bypass filter/housing to Derale cooler w/fan. Returned to oil pan.
Search my post in Diesel cooling for Detailed info. Ask questions on that thread.
Pull a 4k off-road trailer. Not much wind drag. The JT weighs about 7k. Sitting on 42ās with 5.13 gears. Only about a 1,000 miles, some of that with 40ās.
Never an issue while pulling the trailer. In the beginning, many issues with derating. Always after 6 hours of continuous driving. On a...
I was thinking the same thing back in ā22. I talked to AFE back then. Same response working on it, no ETA.
I have an extra 3 quarts in my cooling loop. Bypass filter, Derale oil cooler with about 20ā of hose. If I donāt turn on the cooling fan, after long periods of driving, 2/3 hours the...
Well, that was a trip down memory lane. Just donāt think an engine oil pump rated for continuous load above 200f exists.
Iām not currently looking for one. What I did up doing is working (tapping into factory oil filter housing). I just wanted to share info.
I recently did camping trip pulling...
Just talked to them. Nope, not recommended for engine oil cooling. Stated that there pump is for circulation only. Recommend Susa.
Susa website for oil Pump says ārecommended for oil circulationā. It did say tested to 250f. So maybe.
Snap shots of my conversation with Tilton, using their pump as an engine oil cooler. This was back in November 2022.
Hello,
Iām looking at your oil pump for an engine oil cooler.
I have a Gen 3 Mopar 3.0 EcoDiesel. I would tap the lines to and from directly to the oil pan.
The oil temp is...
Great.
Im not an expert, therefore I rely on what the Manufacturer says along with their Spec Sheets.
I replied on this thread about someone using a 12 volt pump to cool oil temperatures in a 3.0 Eco Diesel. I Researched this in depth, 3 plus years ago. Talking to several manufacturers. Via...
Yes. Thinking Tilton was one of the āabsolutely notā. The specs Iāve seen on them 160f continuous with 265f intermittent. The pump also says ādiff coolerā right on it.
Really like this! This is what I originally wanted to do 3 plus years ago when I first started searching ways to keep the ED from derating. My problem was heat soak. Long trips on National Forest type roads, 6 hours plus.
Anyway, I just wanted to share what I was told by the pump manufacturers...
Iād do your own tire balance by purchasing Magnum Balance tire beads.
Bump steer was mentioned. If the trac bar and drag link are still factory the lift shouldnāt cause this. 2.5ā lift only requires slight drag link length change to recenter steering wheel.
With a helper, all weight on vehicle...
