    Still getting to know my new to me ‘99 3500 and looked in the bellhousing inspection window today since the previous owner said it had a billet converter. Sure enough it did, but can’t tell what brand it is. It’s painted blue and I didn’t see a drain on it. No identifying marks. Does anyone have a guess as to who made it?

    I got stuck in some mud the other day, went to shift into 4 wheel drive and the shifter just floats freely feels like it is not connected to anything. rear wheel drive still works fine. is there a linkage that may have come apart or broken? and most importantly is this something i should attempt to fix with my limited mechanical ability,tools and knowledge or should i take it to a shop. i had to be pulled out by a ford...very embarrassing!!! Thanks in advance for any help or advice you have to offer

    I got a quote for $417 shipped for a Fass 150. Includes reloacation kit. No filters. I want to use my existing filter system on the block. Will the standard kit allow for this or will I need additional parts? Can I eliminate all banjo fittings? Need to make sure I get all the parts ahead as nothing is available locally and I'll need the truck for my work week.

    So my pressures are 16-17 idle, 13-14 wot, works great while im on the road but when the truck sits it loses all fuel pressure.every time i before i start it, the fp gauge usually reads 0, 1, or 2 but it starts fine and the fp jumps right back up. bumping the key will get 17 psi for those 25 seconds, then it'll drop back to 0. should i be checking something out or am i worrying over nothin

    Replaced my battery cables yesterday. Started the engine up 4 or 5 times, fuel pump was working. Tried starting this a.m. and can't hear the pump energize. Checked the fuse in the wiring harness, switched the fuses in the PDC, looked at all of the connections they still have dielectric grease on them, replaced the relay in the harness and still nothing. What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated!

    I am changing the thermostat in my truck today and didn't know whether or not to put some sealer on the bolts for the thermostat housing.

    While my Quad was down and I was running around on the stock tuning, I noticed I couldn't build more than 20psi of boost or exceed 900* on the EGT gauge. I figured the stock turbo was waste gated to 20psi and that's why it didn't make more. I know the S300 will make 30+, does the truck defuel when it senses the boost level to keep it from rising?

  10. I’m finally getting around to replacing all the battery cables and doing the WT mod. I have a very early 1998.5 24V, and all of the other posts and pictures about the WT mod seem to be on later second gens. I have pictures attached with markups. Can someone please confirm I’m on the right path. Thank you!!!

    OK guys I believe I'm loosing my apps due to while driving at less than half throttle it starts surging and some times bucking. No codes present and with the scanner my apps signal seams to be a little too jumpy in my opinion. Truck is the one in my Sig. Are there any other thing that would give this same issue

    OK, I have a 01 2500 with 112k. FASS DDRP and HAD (took off today) an Edge Comp. Last week while driving 35 there was a miss in the motor and when given throttle the motor would miss, pop, hesitate and shutter. Pulled over, shut off the comp and shut down the motor. Restarted and while in Park idles and revs fine. When put into gear once the tach hits 1500 rpm it starts all over. When I unhooked the comp from the harness I got a CEL and P0237 and P0230 codes. Changed the fuel filter and cracked the VP44 inlet banjo to make sure I was getting fuel. It sat for a week and I had it towed home today. No CEL and I drove it into the garage fine. Unhooked the Edge harness complet…

  14. Please post things you might want to buy. Please no PM's until I decide what to do and so that we can keep first come first serve. I just want to see if it's worth parting out right now. These have already been asked. I think they are hazed over like typical lights but the rest is ok. I'll check and report back. Correct. 02 is all mine.

  15. I'm trying to determine where the switch is on the clutch pedal to turn off the cruise control when it's depressed. I didn't see it in the parts diagrams. It's not working. I have to remember to turn it off to down shift while in cruise control :-( Any help with this would be much appreciated.

  16. This is Copy and pasted from Cummins Forum, thread I started. I even called Mike and we talked about it... This is too educate all the if the VOLTAGE is bad, the INJECTION PUMP will not work. This I did not know, but learned. Hope y'all find it helpful in the feature. But I have a question at the end. Please read and info will help. Two days ago: Sitting at dq, for a few hours waiting on some guys to meet me. After they left, I went to start my rig. No battery, so got two guys to jump me at same time. -After a long crank, it seemed to no be getting fuel. -Cracked lines 1, 3, and 4... then let the raptor 150 bump start run for 30 seconds 2x - …

  17. Alright guys, I am new to this forum and did a lot of reading on the TC lock/unlock thread and was hoping my alternater could be causing my TC to have problems. I took some voltage readings and based on what I was reading in the other thead I throught I might have a problem: [TABLE=width: 504][TR][TD]Battery Volts AC [/TD][TD] [/TD][TD][/TD][TD]0.039 - 0.041[/TD][TD]FAIL[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]Based on these I thought my alternater was going bad, but I took the truck to a shop today and he tested it on the truck and said voltage was good and the diodes were good. So on my way home I stopped at the local shop and talked with the owner about my problem and we went for a test d…

    I made a post a few weeks ago about erratic miss at ldle. Well after adjusting the valves and remembering back I had this problem on a old eng. These are DDP 50hp injectors with about 5k on them and they run good but I believe there is something wrong in the injectors. I was looking through DAP site and my head was swimming, could not find what I am looking for. What I would like is 60hp injectors, bosh bodys , very little smoke. I mostly pull heavy tractors and don't want to break anything so just staying with injector hp. I had a set of 75hp years ago but to much smoke for me, I don't remember any erratic idle with those.

    My truck has always fired up quick. A few times lately, after I start it and drive short distance, then jump in and go to turn the ignition switch briefly like usual, but it doesnt fire, then second attempt it has to crank awhile(longer than usual), not much, then it fires up. Changed the fuel filter(stock filter wasnt bad at all and the canister was clean as a whistle inside) and it did it again today after I drove to the store. Fuel pressure is fine. New VP a couple years ago. Just wondered if this happens to anyone else? It's never done this before. No fuel leaks anywhere. Truck runs great other than that.
