Are you sure you measured with both plugs unhooked both the ECM and Cam sensor right? So from the cam sensor plug to the ECM was 5 ohms your at the breaking point. I would look over the wiring closely for corrosion. You might need to repair what every wire you test that was 5 ohms.

Employment...
He's got a Ford Mustang to put back together and the body is on a rotisserie so you can flip it around to weld, paint or otherwise. Actually that is a modified Datsun (if I'm not mistaken) its got a V8 crammed under the hood.

Time to unhook the Edge module and see if it occurs again. Even though the module might not of shown it was active it could be something internally damaged.

antifreeze... long and short
There is a thread over on Cummins Forum talking more about installing a coolant filter with anode and recharge. The idea sounds good but I've only seen a few that added it to the truck but no testing has ever been done to prove anything. Anyone here considering doing this too? I would love to see someone do it and do the testing too. Price of coolant is getting expensive. I'm considering it because of the cost of replacement.

The Pain of Servicing Duals
That's hard for me. It's only 125 miles one way to my tire dealer...

Who's Burning?
As they say wood warms you more than once... Fall and buck up the tree, load it in the truck, unload the truck, split the wood, stack the wood, etc. I was just thinking that I'm burning roughly 1/4 cord a week or 1 cord a month. So at that rate I need roughly 7 cords. I've got 8 cords as of now. I've still got another 4 cords unsplit. So I'm already bring on the winter. I know I got to crawl up and brush the chimney one last time... Maybe this week.

That would be visible with the valve cover off and the engine idling. You'll see one or more rockers not performing properly. Still in all the compression test would show it too.

Happy Birthday Michael
Actually I went out to Grangeville, ID today and had lunch out. While I travelled the 120 mile round trip I was stopping along the way to shot pictures with my new camera. I'm going to re-celebrate my birthday and Stephanie (Wife of my boss) birthday tomorrow. I'm Oct 26 and she is Oct 28. So Mom and myself pickup a birthday cake, and some odds and ends. Then another neighbor Betty is making food for the party so I've gotta pick that up in the morning before work. I'll get my pictures posted up tomorrow evening.

Welcome to the site Marc... Did you ohm the leads from the cam sensor to the ECM? Where your reading less than 5 ohms? By chance is there another Dodge owner near you that you might swap ECM with temporarily? Another person you try contacting... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/manufactures-dealer-vendors/12-dealers-vendors/12-th-racing He's really great guy and he's on your side of the line too...

The Pain of Servicing Duals
In my case I had the old 1976 Dodge motorhome for better than 10 years and the day I decided to trade it in both the hoses where leaking and neither would hold air. Same problem a PITA to get your hand into the inner duals to air them up. Grrrr!

antifreeze... long and short
Remember if you use any flush chemical do leave them in too long because most are a acid nature to help break loose all the junk. Then make sure to rinse the entire system out really good a few times. In other words fill, drive, and dump a few times to makes sure you get it all rinse out. It really sucks when you don't and the CLR or block flush now eats your head gasket or heater core.

Good. That what I was explaining to him about getting 2 different test show the problem. Then you know your on the right track. Then the compression test will tell if its a cylinder issue or a fuel issue too. It might be a plugged cross over tube or maybe a cylinder issue. But we need the testing to be done. Like Tyler was going to buy a full set of crossover tubes they are not cheap so figure $25 a piece times 6 gets rather spendy fast. So why not do some basic test and isolate some of the issue and find out what you need before buying a bunch of stuff. Just thinking about it Tyler you might ask Pepsi71Ocean about his compression tester.

Who's Burning?
Ummm... Err... Ummm... I've had one last year where I could tell the chimney was starting to choke right in December but it just snowed so I hung in tight. Next morning I built a fire and wasn't long and smoke was rolling back in the house. So now I'm shutting down the stove and waiting for midday and hoping to climb a slick roof. What I found was the creosote piled up in the exposed chimney area (the coldest part) and created a flap from the side wall that got warm with the starting fire and fall over shut and plugged the chimney completely. Mine wasn't as bad as the video. My build up depth is about 2-3 foot of the top and the rest is smooth and clean below. I don't have any stains. But on occasion I get chunks of creosote that dropped on the roof. Thankfully I've got a steel roof. Funny thing is I re-stoked the fire and now its so flippin' hot in here its like summer time all over again. Ugh. Should of like the darn thing go out.

Between these two test compression and fuel line loosening will give you two different test pointing to the same cylinder. Like I was explaining to Tyler is that if you at least have two different test showing the failed cylinder then you know where to start at.

Cameras... What are you using?
MoparMom was the one that got me to buy the first camera which began the adventure in web site development and the birth of www.mopar1973man.com. Well after 10 years of service my old Fuji FinePix served me well so it was kind of a shocker to hit a camera shop and find out that the shop suggested another Fuji FinePix again just a updated version. So now I can do wildlife photos now that where impossible to do with the old Fuji. Just didn't have the zoom to get the job done. Now with the new Fuji I've been experimenting with lighting, close ups, zoom,and combinations of things and wow! What a difference. No longer have to stuff a camera down in a dark hole and hope the flash and focus can do the job. Now I can stand back zoom in and all the features of the camera are aiding in producing a OK picture. Of course auto everything is just going to get you by. But I'm impressed with the power of the camera.

Employment...
Who would know I get to work on such beautiful vehicles that are mostly all original. There are a few that he bought that are modified but still clean and straight vehicles. Few hot rods in there I'm just waiting for the day when he fires some up in the summer and goes for a ride... As for his daily driver it happens to be a 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L V8 Gasser with a 47RE transmission. Already worked on that rig did a manifold gasket and plenum gasket. Then his work / tow vehicle I think is a 2006 Ford Powerstroke 6.0L nice truck.

LED Headlight
We've started installing LED flood lighting on the fire truck. So far I'm very impressed with the flood lights.

Draw Straw Install and Killer Dowel Pin 24v
Yes. You want it return to the module. This returns more fuel right and the suction tip preventing the 1/4 problem. Ask Eric at Vulcan Performance if he has a way to resolve the old filler neck or cap for JIC.

Cameras... What are you using?
I might have to pick your brain and get a few pointers for shooting pictures. You've got a heck of a camera as well

Cameras... What are you using?
I've got my little flip phone too. Not bad for pictures really just too much trouble to hook up with bluetooth dongle to download the pictures.

Cameras... What are you using?
Well as for myself. I started out with a simple pen camera a long time ago which was nothing more than 0.3 Megapixel. Dumb thing only cost me like $30 bucks this was like years ago. Then back when I started the web site I purchased a bit better camera which I've used for over 10 years now to bring all my photos to the web site. It's a Fuji FinePix A205 which I've got a massive 256 MB xD Picture Card. So here in the next few day is my birthday... Yea... I'm going to be 44 years old as of October 26. I finally decided to upgrade cameras now. I've now got Fuji FinePix HS30 EXR. So I'm wonder what you all are shooting pictures with... So here is what I had... To now what I'll be using... http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/s/finepix_hs30exr/
