He met her in Ontario when he was riding his bike.

The radio shutting off and/or resetting sounds like an interesting clue... Losing power somewhere for some reason.

Those factory amps are matched to the factory speakers and rarely make an aftermarket speaker sound good. If you want to really wake up the Polks add a 4 channel amp. The Kicker 4 channels are pretty good with them. They won't play the really low notes but the mids and highs will really shine.

You can run a 24V ISB as a standalone with the ECM. Problem. If you want diagnostics or work OBDII port you need both the PCM and the instrument cluster. The PCM starts the CCD Network bus. The Cluster is what gives bus bias to the CCD Network. If you do go the stand alone you completely with diagnostic information. Yeah there is the CANBus but its limited in what it can do being the diagnostics was based more so in the CCD Network side. Hence why weird things like engine coolant temperature only report to 204 then drops to -40 on the CANBus where the CCD bus works correctly. You could never run a Smarty or any kind of OBDII port tools on a standalone Cummins. As for the lift pump the ECM will still control the lift pump. Just controlled by tach signal. If you happen to wreck the tach hits zero the ECM cuts power to everything. As for starting and run its behaves like normal.

I wouldn't do it unless I just had to. But would not leave it that way for the reasons above.

I'm going upwards I'm going to aim for mid 20's for a goal. My all-time high mark is 27.2 MPG. That was back on RV275's and Edge Comp. Just reaching 21 MPG on 150 HP injectors and Quadzilla is quite the feather in the cap.

If you have an accident and the fuel pump will continue to pump. I highly suggest having the ECM repaired so when the tach hits zero the fuel is shut off. After being to several accident scenes in not pretty when a fuel pump continues to pump fuel with a live fire.

Then others are going 46 years with the same woman. Here's to all the choices.

Fixed haed gasket and what happens 40 minutes ago? Trucks gotma choppy idle and is surging abit with a 236 code. Ride over to the store for ice and the temp gauge pegs and throws another code. 118 IIRC? Over volt on the ect gauge. As soon as the gauge dropped back. Smooth idle and no surging. Damn electrical gremlins.
