With the 46RH conversion successfully completed. Redtruck is in need of a mod or two. Next up is to finally get her tune dialed in. Keith has been doing the heavy lifting and I'm trying to give him a platform that is easier to work on than the Manual flashed automatic based PCM. According to B&G the current pcm flashed to manual trans can have issues due to software and hardware not being terminated properly. Bought a 03 manual PCM from ebay and found it to be junk. Apparently locked up from security lacking compatibility with my truck. Can't tell for sure since I took it to B&G to have it checked and it was DOA. Still going to use it for a core for a new PCM I've ordered. Told the guy it was dead and had been opened but he said "no problem". Manual trans PCM are a fairly rare bird just to note the obvious. The good news is the same pcm is used in Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500. And the vin doesn't necessarily need to match the vehicle. I ran a salvage yard pcm for a couple years before I reflashed it with a vin. Anyway next mod, take the new pcm to Dave@B&G for him to adjust idle, rev and speed limiters. Install a pair of BV heads. Then tune the old girl. I bought one of those push rod holders, so hopefully I won't have the same difficulties I had last time. So that's the run down on Red it's all good...
Redtruck's never ending tale....

The 916 superbike is without doubt the quickest most nimble bike I ever had with character that can't be matched. I traded for a rare Moto Guzzi v10 Centauro with the world champion four valve engine. The purest hated me for modifying it.

Had a 1993 Monster , a 1990(ish) 900SS and the Nutso , lets fit the coffin now bike was the 1994 ,916. love those 916s , I really liked my Buell, great handle bike with lots of stump pulling bottom end, but that 916 really felt like you and the bike were one.....unlike anything else I ever rode

My 916 was a 97' solo, all carbon fiber. This was during my bicycle racing days. Together I believe we were still under 500 lbs. Clearly the most exciting bike I've ever ridden. I still have the v10 and a vtx I suspect I'll never ride again but can't bring myself to sell.

If you've got a big outside propane tank you might look into a Generac propane-powered whole house generating system as a back up...just a thought :thumb:.

I was thinking about that this morning, but this is the first overnight outage I've had for many years. The 5kw generator I have is old and quirky. I'll use it if it is truely necessary. But with it being just me and the dog it's just an inconvenience.

Oh, it'll happen again, just a matter of time. They have made great improvements over the last 35 years. We use to be at the end of the line and frequently lost power for days. Now we may go a year or two and then it's repaired quickly.

Same story around here...now - As much as power costs now they don't want to miss a week's worth of revenue :thumb:.
