Thing is I don't see (personally) any reason for synthetic oils in these trucks. When there is members like CajFlynn putting over million miles on a truck on dino oil. Then flip the page and watch Dorkweed run 84k miles on a single oil change with WalMart oil. (Blackstone tested every 7k miles). So with these two members you can learn a lot...

Just do the diagnostic the best you can. But when a error code is thorwn 9 times out of 10 the code it throw for its device. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/59-obdii-error-codes/175-p0336-crankshaft-position-sensor-signal

Sure do...

ECM uses a modulated signal that is a 50% duty cycle. So the ECM during cranking is going OFF - ON - OFF -ON in a rapid pulse. Cranking pressure should be 7-12 PSI optimally. So you need a mechanical gauge to see the pulse because most electric gauges or digital gauges filter the pulse so you don't see it or don't function during cranking.

Here is the 98.5 to 02 stock crankcase vent.

Not true. I've ran a Edge Comp now since 2006 on 5x5 till I upgraded to RV275 injectors and toned down to 5x3. Basically the box is wide open 120 HP with defuel mode of 67% of stock fuel till 10 PSI of boost. But I drive daily on this setting even towing. Empty I'm getting 22-25 MPG easy. Loaded with a trailer 7,000 to 8,500 pounds still manage 11-14 MPG. You should this will give you better power and fuel management than you don't have now. As long as you have gauges and a good fuel system right off then a enhancement box like Edge is just fine and these trucks handle the enhanceent just fine. But like I said you get better fuel and timing management over the stock ECM program which is built around the EPA rules.

I got a fancy made fan wrench for the Dodge Cummins from JL Welding. One to hold the pulley and the other to twist the fan nut.

Even after doing the http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/26-engine-systems/42-crankcase-vent-mod I still have to pull my radiator every few year too flush the face of the radiator out of caked in dirt and mud. Mine is not a strict pavement queen it spends quite a bit of time offroad.

ISX got it. You going to need a Edge Comp or something to do boost fooling. Other than that the whole idea of changing the wastegate goes out the window. What happens is as the engine sees above 20 PSI its to defuel and shut down by 25 PSI it will/should throw a P0234 code for overboost code. So if you wanting any more boost your going to need a fueling box like a Edge Comp or similar for boost fooling. As for controlling EGT's is easy drop 1 gear and kick the RPM's up and the EGT's always fall.

Too much propane...

Try kicking the RPM's up to see if it is a pressure issue while turning. Me personally, I wouldn't bother with the name brand hype I would just replace with a factory power steering pump and gear box. 232k miles and ticking on the clock and still not even a leak on my factory pump or box yet. All the rough road miles and forestry roads.

Doing a site search turned up this... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/index.php?/user/1502-sngsht/ I sure wish people would list there city and state more...

If I'm not mistaken it based off the actual hitch weight at the tongue. So typically a 7,000 pound trailer would have 10-12% in tongue weight so 700-840 pounds on the tongue. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/towing/equipment/hitches/towing-weight-distribution-systems.htm

Done. As requested.

Here what I can tell you. 3200 Governor spring BHAF Straight pipe 4" Custom cut fuel pin HX35W turbo Is worth about 224/571... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/index.php?/topic/4622-relentless70-dyno-run/

Fan clutch is possible. How about the face of the radiator is it packed with mud, bugs, etc. You'll have to remove the radiator to clean it good from both sides. How about the core tube are they all plugged up with corrosion blooms from old corrosive coolant? Water pump rare to fail but typically you would see the pump weeping water. As for the pump vane being gone or broke would be cause from corrosive coolant eating them. So when was the last coolant system flush and fill last done?

Yea... I did call. Yea its a 11mm socket. I would of just spray it with hair spray and put it back on. Torque it correctly there is a actual in/lbs number for the clamps.

I'm sorry but I lost my faith in dealers and shops long ago. The only shop my truck with see is a tire shop and alignment rack. Beyond that I do my own work on the truck. But that was totally just a botched job there and someone really didn't care. Glad you found the problem and took care of it properly.

Update: I notice the postal lady can by this evening in her other car. Now I stop by this evening and check the error codes the P0420 is gone. But now replaced by a P0130 code... But both oxygen sensors have been replaced already. http://www.obd-codes.com/p0130

Well that little car came by today and delivered the mail and kept heading north. I'll find out more later on today.

Hold up... Time to chill out... (Closed.)

No. Not really. All the PSG is encased in plastic and the actual heat sink is downward into the fuel not upwards to the air. So adding a heat sink and blower won't do much because if the fuel is 140*F its got direct contact with the aluminum plate that is in contact with the electronics. Food for thought. I'm up here in Idaho seeing temps above 110*F in the summer and well in the minus numbers in the winter. My VP44 has no cooler on it and been running just fine since 2004 when it was replaced at 50k miles. Currently has 232k on the clock.

Go back and re-look at my post added much more to the post... (Sorry last minute thoughts...) http://forum.mopar1973man.com/index.php?/topic/8719-smoking-trucks-coal-rollers/page-2#entry94411

Yeah... guilty as charged. But I figure I would share the impact of what some Moron's are doing to affect the laws that might be passed against us. Which seems to be the stem of this thread. Which I do but don't because this does impact the diesel owner directly. As for Rancherman's post http://forum.mopar1973man.com/index.php?/topic/8719-smoking-trucks-coal-rollers/page-2#entry94375 Just a bit borderline. More of hijack than to the topic. Which is true there is no bickering like I see at other sites. There is no personal attacks or pointing fingers yet...

Well after the spark plug change and a short test drive the CEL light stayed off so far and she is going to test drive it tomorrow on the mail route. This little Subaru has well over 300k miles (second engine) and does about 134 miles per day delivering mail out here. We'll see I'll keep you posted.
