Ohhh man that is super sad shes in peices. You did awesome on the bed and bumper. Thank you for shareing photos

Here are some older pics. I built this truck and redone so much, and its sad to say but shes in pieces now but alot of her parts still live on in the 1500 cummins. Im gonna try and do some video updates/progress on the 1/2 cummins should anyone be interested. She's gonna be sweet!

My 02 is at 370k oem radiator. But its been leaking alittle the last couple years. I had to put a radiator in dads 04 at about 200k leaking bad at tank seam. My 98 appears to not be leaking at 240k now. Its only leak is the damn vacumn pump.

Pretty sure that white one the trailer brake harness for brake controler. If you have brake controler hooked up then im wrong lol Stanley we need some pics of your rig the built not bought bed and bumper is interesting me. And that youve turned it in sw truck. Thats awesome, not many know u can put single wheels on.

Your going to need a FSM book it will show the plug and pin out.

No. Dual disc. Organic. 😉

Yes 4500. Kinda dropped the filter cooler idead. Though i am gathering aluminum welding stuff so may revist ounce i have tools to fab with. Transmission is doing great

Ive combed through the 1999 wiring maps and have not had any luck on finding anything for these 4 large connectors. What else could you add to these trucks that those would be used for?

I thought you were calling the dual mass flywheel better for a second.

NV4500 5 speed ???

Basically in a quick nut shell. Engine and Transmission harness. ECM Flashed to Auotmatic software. PCM Flashed to Automatic software You need these things and to have the wiring for the transmission. The ECM needs software changed and PCM being the PCM controls the transmission shift.

Fixing Email and Spam on the Server: What We Repaired TodayToday was a long maintenance day on the live mopar1973man.com mail server. The main problem was a flood of spam hitting one of my mailboxes. While chasing it I found and fixed several other things, and I'm writing them down in case it helps someone else running their own mail server. 1. Spam filtering wasn't working properlySpamAssassin was tagging most incoming mail with a "URIBL_BLOCKED" warning. That means the server couldn't use the blacklist lookups it depends on, because the public DNS resolver it was using was being rate-limited or refused. Real scoring was being skipped. The fix: I pointed the server's DNS lookups at its own local caching resolver first, with the old resolver as a fallback. Then I restarted the SpamAssassin daemon so it picked up the change. Lookups work again, and spam is scored properly. I left the spam score thresholds alone for now. Raising them tends to catch real mail, and I'd rather fix the underlying problems first. 2. Someone was guessing mail passwordsThe firewall logs showed an address hammering the SMTP login for one of my support mailboxes, trying password after password. My firewall (CSF/LFD) was set to tolerate far too many failed attempts before blocking. The fix: I lowered the failed SMTP login limit from 100 to 5. I blocked the offending address. If you run CSF, check LF_SMTPAUTH. A high number gives an attacker a lot of free guesses. 3. An old "temporary" allow rule was still hanging aroundWhile in the firewall I found an address I had manually allowed back in June. It was in both the firewall allow list and the mail panel's trusted networks. I no longer had a reason for it, and a forgotten allow rule is a hole in your defenses. I removed it from both places. 4. Email authentication: SPF, DKIM and DMARCI also started making the domain's email authentication airtight. Without it, anyone can forge mail that looks like it came from you. DMARC: I published a DMARC record and verified it. It started in monitoring mode, and I've since moved it to a quarantine policy applied to 25% of failing mail. The plan is to raise that to 100%, then to full reject once the reports come back clean. Testing: I sent a message to Gmail and checked "Show original". SPF, DKIM and DMARC all passed. DNS location: The domain's public DNS is hosted at LiquidWeb, not on the server itself, so these records are edited in their portal. Still on the to-do listRemove the DKIM "testing" flag now that authentication is passing. Move SPF from a soft fail to a hard fail once the DMARC reports look clean. Whitelist the real senders I do business with, so they never get caught by the filter. Block the domains that only ever send spam. Rotate the spam filter's database password. Unsubscribe from the legitimate newsletters site by site, and clean out the mailbox after a backup. TakeawaysCheck the logs when something is odd. The blocked-lookup warnings were the real clue behind the spam problem. Tighten your failed-login limits. The defaults are often too generous. Audit your allow lists regularly. Old exceptions pile up. Set up DMARC, but ramp it up gradually and watch the reports before you go to a strict policy. I'll post a follow-up when the DMARC policy reaches full enforcement.

Only clue i could give is grab a wiring diagram from the FSM and layout of looms and plugs are shown. Might help.

Bump

Following

So 165 pump dropped in place if 95 pump. Pump kicks on truck runns smoother get in freeway hit cruise and lose fuel pressure wtf limp a few miles home she actually dies this time. Roll off the side of road check pump fuse unplug fuel pump relay plug it back in cycle pump a few times wtf Then crank no go cycle pump a few more times pump working again fffff crack two injector lines crank a bit then snug up line that pushed fuel. Crank again she fires running on 5 hurry and snug last line slam hood hurry home. Had about 20 people drive by thankfully noone stopped Get home barely again pump silent at idle hmmm So it was never a pump issue. I noticed when i turned key on pump didnt cycle but runs with truck idling. Thinking relay so i go cycling key on my 02, pump cycles for a few seconds like it sposed to. Yank relay off it and toss it on the 98 cycling key on pump comes to life then shuts off like it should. Wtf so i jump on free way get fuel etc jump back on freeway again. No issues now. Fun stuff. What will it be next . Everything on this trucks oem other than fass titanium. Bought 60 miles to get to work tommorrow so well see.

You can run your own Netflix-style media server at home with free software. This is how to set up Jellyfin in Docker on a Linux machine and watch your videos on a TV, a phone or any web browser. Why JellyfinI wanted to play my own videos on the TV. Casting from my desktop browser found no devices, so I set up a media server instead. Jellyfin is free and open source, has no accounts or subscriptions, and keeps your videos on your own hardware. It also has apps for Roku, Android TV, Fire TV and more. What you needA Linux machine that stays on, such as an old PC or a small home server. These steps use Ubuntu. Enough storage for your videos. A TV or streaming stick that has a Jellyfin app. Videos that you own or made yourself, such as home videos and your own backups. Step 1: Install DockerOn Ubuntu, the quickest route is the packages in the standard repositories: sudo apt update sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose-v2 sudo usermod -aG docker $USERLog out and back in so the group change takes effect. Then check it with docker --version. Step 2: Make the foldersKeep your media and Jellyfin's settings in separate places: sudo mkdir -p /srv/media/movies /srv/media/shows /srv/media/home-videos sudo mkdir -p /srv/jellyfin/config /srv/jellyfin/cache sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /srv/media /srv/jellyfinStep 3: Create the compose fileMake a folder for the project and add a file called compose.yaml: services: jellyfin: image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest container_name: jellyfin user: "1000:1000" ports: - "8096:8096" volumes: - /srv/jellyfin/config:/config - /srv/jellyfin/cache:/cache - /srv/media:/media:ro restart: unless-stoppedRun id -u and id -g and replace the 1000:1000 with your own numbers if they differ. The :ro on the media folder means Jellyfin can read your videos but can't change or delete them. Step 4: Start itdocker compose up -dOpen a browser on any computer on your home network and go to http://YOUR-SERVER-ADDRESS:8096. The first-run wizard asks you to create an admin account. Use a strong password. Step 5: Add your librariesIn the wizard, add a library for each folder: Movies from /media/movies, Shows from /media/shows, and Home Videos from /media/home-videos. Let Jellyfin scan them. Name your files so Jellyfin understands themmovies/Movie Name (2020)/Movie Name (2020).mkv shows/Show Name/Season 01/Show Name S01E01.mkvGood names are what let Jellyfin find posters and descriptions on its own. Watch it on your TVInstall the Jellyfin app on your streaming stick or smart TV. It should find the server on your network, or you can type the address in. Sign in with the account you made. TipsDirect play is easier on weak hardware. If your server has no graphics card, video that your TV can play directly won't need converting. Common formats like H.264 work well. Back up the settings folder. The config folder holds your libraries and watch history. Keep it off the internet. Don't open the Jellyfin port on your router. If you want to watch away from home, use a VPN to reach your network instead. If something doesn't workThe TV can't find the server. Make sure both are on the same network, and type the server's address in by hand. The page won't load. Run docker ps to see that the container is running, and check the firewall. On Ubuntu with ufw, you can allow your home network to reach port 8096. Libraries look empty. Check the folder permissions with ls -l /srv/media, and make sure the user in the compose file matches the owner of the folders. Video stutters. Check whether the player is converting the video instead of playing it directly. Jellyfin's dashboard shows this. Questions?If you get stuck, post in the Linux or Servers and Security forum and tell me your distro and what you see.

Invision Community has no built-in way to give each section of a site its own colors. A little custom CSS can do it. Here's how I gave the Titanium and Cloud 10 areas of this site their own look. The ideaEvery page on an Invision site is tagged with its section and its ID number. A blog page, for example, is tagged as the blog app with the blog's number. Pages that sit inside a section, such as a post or a forum topic, link back to their parent section in the breadcrumb at the top. CSS can look for those clues and change the site's colors only when they appear. Where to put itIn the admin area, open Customization, then Themes. Duplicate your active theme first, so you have a backup. Edit the theme's custom CSS and paste the code in. Save, then hard refresh the page with Ctrl+Shift+R. The colorsInvision builds its page colors from two theme colors, a primary and a secondary. To recolor a section, change those two values for the pages you pick. The values are set on the top-level page element, not on the page body, because that's where Invision calculates the colors it hands down to everything else. I tested this on Invision Community 5. Example: the Titanium sectionThis block turns the Titanium blog (number 11) and the Titanium forum (number 222) purple and near-black. It also catches posts, topics and gallery pages inside them through the breadcrumb: html:has(body[data-pageapp="blog"][data-id="11"]), html:has(body[data-pageapp="forums"][data-id="222"]), html:has(.ipsBreadcrumb--top a[href*="/blogs/blog/11-titanium"]), html:has(.ipsBreadcrumb--top a[href*="/forums/forum/222-titanium"]) { --light__i-primary: hsl(262 20% 30%); --light__i-secondary: hsl(265 30% 9%); --dark__i-primary: hsl(262 20% 30%); --dark__i-secondary: hsl(265 30% 9%); }Template for your own sectionsSwap in your own numbers and names. The number is in the web address of the blog or forum, such as /forums/forum/224-cloud-10-computers/: html:has(body[data-pageapp="forums"][data-id="YOUR-FORUM-NUMBER"]), html:has(.ipsBreadcrumb--top a[href*="/forums/forum/YOUR-FORUM-NUMBER-name"]) { --light__i-primary: hsl(200 28% 22%); --light__i-secondary: hsl(210 40% 7%); --dark__i-primary: hsl(200 28% 22%); --dark__i-secondary: hsl(210 40% 7%); }Use data-pageapp="blog" for blogs, "downloads" for download categories, and so on. Tips I learned along the wayPages inside a section don't carry the section's number, so match them through the breadcrumb link instead. Some pages, such as a gallery category, don't link to themselves in the breadcrumb. For those, match the page's canonical address in the page head. Pick colors by changing the hsl numbers. The first number is the hue, the middle is how colorful it is, and the last is how light or dark. If the text in the header becomes hard to read on a dark background, raise the lightness a little. LimitsThis changes colors and accents only. A different layout for each section would need deeper theme work. Keep a copy of your CSS in a text file in case you ever switch themes. Questions?If you try this on your own Invision site and get stuck, post in the comments or in the Servers and Security forum and I'll help you work it out.

You need to talk to @Doubletrouble hes good with these transmissions.

What kind of price tag on this custom fan? I'm interested in actually upgrading Beast for RV hauling.

AirDog 150 got installed on Thor. Just got to take time when weather is better to do the spring in the pump and recheck the pressures.

Beast and Thor are bottom doing fine or the Valair dual disc clutches. Thor has the better clutch with the springs on the center disc to keep the chatter down.

The member profiles have been rebuilt. You can now list your truck and your tech setup so other members know what you're working with when you ask for help. Why the changeThe most common reply to a question on this site used to be "what truck do you have?" or "what are you running?" Now that information can sit right in your profile, so the answers you get back can be better and faster. My TruckFor the Dodge Cummins side of the site, you can add: Generation, year and model Engine and transmission 4WD and axle ratio Mods and goals, in your own words My TechFor the Cloud 10 Computers side, you can add: Which Linux distro you run, or "still on Windows" Your experience level, from brand new to power user Your interests, such as servers and security, networking, solar and power monitoring, PC builds, local AI, and gaming on Linux Any hardware you'd like to share Please fill it inNone of it is required to join or to post, but I highly suggest you fill it in. The more I know about your truck or your setup, the better I can handle your issues. A question about a hard start means something very different on a 12 valve than on a Common Rail, and I can't help as well if I'm guessing. It takes a couple of minutes, and it can save a lot of back-and-forth. I do ask for your real name and phone number. Both are only visible to me and the staff, never to other members or the public. If we need to talk, whether it's about your truck or help with your subscription, I'd much rather say "Hello Billy, how's the Dodge doing today?" than "I'm calling from the website." I'll never ask for your home address, and please don't post it in your profile. How to update your profileSign in, click your name in the top corner, and choose Edit Profile. The new fields are grouped under My Truck and My Tech. What do you think?How do the new profiles look so far? Is there a field you'd like to see that isn't there, or something that doesn't work for you? Tell me in the comments. I read every one, and your feedback will shape what I change next.
