Happy with the new batteries
Hua? You sure do have a way to recharge the batteries. You've got a wonderful Cummins powered Bosch/ND alternator that will easily recharge your batteries on your RV. Just plug in your trailer cord and fire up the truck. It will recharge the house batteries. This is for future reference instead of being a total miser now you can live and relax. As for the Big Fish that is nice... Big ol' Rainbow Trout...

No Codes but will surge a little on steady hwy speeds or up hills Please Help!!!
On the contaminated fuel thing... I would open the filter housing and look down at the bottom with a flash light. I've seen a few trucks locally with enough dirt in the bottom to cover the bottom of the filter housing. Just because your changing filter make sure the bottom is cleaned out too. If you have to pull the housing to do it. One local boy had changed his filter and didn't clean the dirt out and complained of low power and hard starting after being out in the hills bouncing around.

All kinds of problems lately.
I wonder if the flapping sound was turbo bark. But the almost stalling has me stumped a bit unless the APPS sensor is not getting to Idle Position and setting the IVS.

Error Codes? Fuel Filter? (Yea, I know your pressure sounds good.) Turbo issues? Air Filter plugged up?

Thoughts on Edge EZ vs Superchips Flashpaq vs Other Econo Tuners
Last trip to Ontario OR and back... Got $50 bucks of diesel in Weiser, ID. Running 60-65 MPH. But there is a small difference from Edge EZ and Edge Comp. MPG = Instant MPG Cmg = Current MPG for the Day Tmg = Total MPG for the tank Dte = Distance to Empty

Thoughts on Edge EZ vs Superchips Flashpaq vs Other Econo Tuners
My personal favorite is the Edge Comp. Best of both worlds plenty of power and better MPG's. The comp allows for in cab adjustment of power (25 levels) vs. EZ that is only 3 setting and mounted under the hood. http://edgeproducts.com/products/1998-5-2000-dodge-24-v-ez-5-9l--30200/ http://edgeproducts.com/products/1998-5-2000-dodge-24-v-comp-5-9l--30300/

Question on RV roof repair
Here is what I used to re-treat my roof on my RV. As for the tears or damage you should use a self-leveling Dicor sealant. http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/dicor-white-rubber-roof-acrylic-coating-gallon/32151

Towing a 24 valve truck when broke down
A lot of people tow 4 wheel drive vehicles behind RV's and over the road trucks and typically just toss the transfer case in neutral and tow on.

Iat and mpg fooler
Correction... Just think though the money the oil companies, federal taxes, state taxes and special interest groups would lose if this took place. Like where I work at with Lindy the Landlord (Mike) has a shop full of collectable cars. I look at simple machine that we came from back in 1960-1970's to todays junk where you can even find the engine any longer so it meets EPA rules. The fact is that the better the efficiency of the vehicle, then less fuel your going to burn and less emissions (smog) your going to create. So I actually look back and forth between what we had back in the 1960-1970's to what we have in the 2000's is a utter and complete joke. Great ideas with computers and such but once again if the vehicles were efficient there wouldn't be any pollution nor any profit for others listed above.

Iat and mpg fooler
Silly question why doesn't this trick come stock. Why do we have to add all the stuff we do to make things better? Because the EPA and smog rules. The government can careless if we efficient but as long as we meet EPA rule then they are happy. Just like the DPF's and EGR valves... Flash is only required for the high idle feature.

Strange bobbing of the fuel pressure gauge?

Strange bobbing of the fuel pressure gauge?
Now that I've done the electronic gauges wit electric sender lets see how good I did and if I'll have any problems with my setup. I kept my needle valve, added the snubber as supplied with the ISSPro EV2 fuel pressure gauge and also remote mounted the sender to the fender. (The old vibration story. ) All my tubing is still 1/8 air brake line. So far I've had zero issue with bouncing gauge reading and still right on the 16-17 PSI just like my old DiPricol gauge did for 10 years. But I've barely got the system setup so let some time go by and we'll see. But I'm also still leaning on the idea of cavitation with none returning pump vs. returning pump like my old AirDog.

Brutus is down :(
Hey Randy, Pop testing injectors is typically free. It's only when the injector has to be tuned is when money comes out of pocket. Usually about $9 to $15 a injector. Through DAP its $71.50 a injector for RV275's. Through Vulcan Performance its $70.60 per injector.

Gauge Time ISSPro EV2's
Thanks... Surprised how the bracket turned out and how well it fit under the hood.

Help! Truck dead as a doorknob.
Basically the clutch switch provides the ground or power to the starter solenoid relay. So I would suggest you fix the switch or replace it. I would test all thee fuses under the hood with a ohm meter and verify the fuses all have 0 ohms of resistance. I've seen fuses crack and become a open circuit and not appear blown with the black burn on the window.

Cracked dash
I know that Dripley had done a full dash replacement (I'm pretty sure). There was a few other members that did caps on top.

Other causes of T/C lock unlock
That's why I always suggest pulling both the field leads (green and blue wires) and the alternator fuse because now both circuits are completely dead.

antifreeze... long and short
Like here is what I would pickup right now since its a fair price. It's universal coolant so it can go either way. http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx/Antifreeze-Extended-Life-Universal-Gallon-Full-Strength/_/R-NAF1EXT_0417578537 A matter of fact we use the same stuff down at the shop.
