Extreme cold!!!
That's a tough thermostat to get up here in Idaho no one even stocks the 200*F 6.7L thermostat. I'll just have to custom order it I guess.

Air Filter
Wow. I've learn more again. I didn't know they had mass-air flow sensors on the 6.7L Cummins. So adding a larger filter will set a mass-air flow sensor code? Interesting.

Oil pump housing failure, probable rebuild...
Well there went my though. Man I got to admit that sucks to have something a small as a gear tooth wipe out the oil pump and possibly the rest of the engine. So did you get to open up the engine and verify the internal stuff like bearings?

Prayer Time for MoparMom
Last night MoparMom end up with a severe nose bleed. I rushed her to the hospital at about 3am. The wonderful doctors got control of the bleeding. I'm kind of mental wreck right now but I think you can understand that. Doctor at this point is chalking up to stress and what has been happening last few days. Our neighbor (mail person) is going through a long drawn out divorce case (2 years now!) and we've been helping her get through it. If you don't mind gang would you please offer a few prayers for MoparMom. :pray:I just talked to her on the phone shes doing good and going to try and catch up on some sleep. Been a long night for both of us...

Extreme cold!!!
I've got my own home made grill inserts that typically amp up the coolant a few extra degrees like 193-197*F and a small boost to IAT temps.

Oil pump housing failure, probable rebuild...
Ouch... That going to hurt more than the turbo I fed a hose clamp. Ekkk... I kind of wonder about the cam gear since its not stock and maybe there was a minor defect in the gear. Since between bill and yourself you got more information to nail down this issue.

Hello from Ca
Welcome to the family. As far as the error code P1694... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/59-obdii-error-codes/232-p1694-no-bus-message-received-from-companion-module Before jumping out there you might want to double check the diagnostic first for clues and check over wiring issues.

New revised MPG/High idle switch design
MPG Fooler - Attempts to mimic summer temperature to increase MPG. Since the only sensor that changes sue to weather is IAT sensor. High Idle 6 & 3 Cylinder - Allows you to select either mode to warm up your truck quickly in the cold winter or maybe keep the alternator amped up while working or maybe set high idle for the hot days to cool the truck down with air conditioning.

Fuel pressure gauge..
Here is what I order for people... http://www.alligatorperformance.com/gauge-mechanical-fuel-pressure-black-p-1678.html

Boost pressures?
For drilling for the EGT's.. For you boost gauge...

Nice. That's certainly cheap for fuel...

1996 Dodge Ram - MPG Report
Another lap to the grocery store for miscellaneous stuff. No cheating here I'm still driving the 1996 Dodge 1500. You'll notice my Tmg (total for the tank is a bit low) I made a run to New Meadows, ID and haul a trailer load of pallets back for a neighbor. But I've now broke over 20 MPG with a 5.9L V8 engine now with a Automatic Trans...Vitals I can give...1996 Dodge Ram 1500 - 5.9L Magnum V8 - 46RE Automatic Trans - Mopar Performance PCM - 3.55 Gear Ratio - Scaled 5,200# Fuel: 87 OctaneTrip: 90 Miles TraveledCargo and Passengers: 2 on board (350#), groceries (80#), 1/2 Tank of fuelHigh Temp Outside: 35*FSpeed: 55 MPH or lower speed limits never exceeded 55 MPH.IAT: varied from 95-105*F.Coolant Temp: 191-193*F Tire Pressures: Front Axle: 43 PSI - Rear Axle: 29 PSIElevation: McCall, ID 5,100 feet approx.Home: 2,800 Feet measured.Going up I used 3rd Gear all the way from home to McCall, ID then at select times that I could I would use 4th gear (OD) on the way down.

03 High oil usage with blowby
The only reason I ditched the OEM box I know this is a 2nd Gen issue but not sure on 3rd Gen. But the plastic of the stock box will deform over time and allow dust to leaking past the panel filter gasket. The only way to fix this is to grease the seal. Too darn messy for me. Hence the BHAF works awesome. Since I'm not racing I don't think the flow rates are much of a issue.

Radio and Programmer stopped working at same time
After the damage I would send it back in to be verify its still functional and allow Edge to see the damage to the CTS.

Yea... The Edge is toast. Sorry to say.

Gauges went crazy!
Test your oil pressure at the oil filter base.Then pull your error codes to give us clues of what is going wrong.

Check the IOD fuse in the funky clip. IOD = Ignition Off Draw...

6.7 run away
Bad injectors. You might have the injectors tested and see if they are sticking open which is common on Common Rail engines.

Engine Stalling
Simple method would be to pressurize the fuel tank and look for wet spots or wet joints. Do the tank pressure test right after running the truck to ensure the fuel lines are all filled with fuel. Then hope the 1-2 PSI of fuel tank pressure is capable of pushing fuel out the air leak. Sometimes it works and other times it don't.
