Cetane thing has always been viewed like octane higher the better. Thats backwards. Right out of the ASTM testing labs documents for Cetane. The ASTM Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils (D-975) states, "The cetane number requirements depend on engine design, size, nature of speed and load variations, and on starting and atmospheric conditions. Increase in cetane number over values actually required does not materially improve engine performance. Accordingly, the cetane number specified should be as low as possible to insure maximum fuel availability."

Man... I need to pull mine out and have it shipped back for flash programming...

Staying at home and having a quiet T-Day with MoparMom. Like Stodg73 I'll be monitoring the fire radio.

Here you go another link that works too. http://www.solarsystemscope.com/ison/

Depends on the DrawStraw version. DrawStraw I no. DrawStraw V yes.

Here is one post pic... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1127&d=1275706515

Welcome to the family...

Yes. Its controlled by the IAT sensor and connected with the Fuel cutoff solenoid. The under the cap where the smoke screw and the starwheel is at will contain a diaphragm, spring and a fuel pin. The star wheel sets the prelod on the spring vs. boost. The fuel pin should be marked before removing because is ca be tuned by twisting. You'll see the offset of the pin when removed. My buddies 92 had dried up grease on it and tend to stick. After clean up and re-lubing it worked fine.

It would be nice to meet a lot of you but everyone is so far away. I'm going to try and at least run up north and tag Hex0rz and shake a fellow family member hand some day.

Roughly about $1200... Problem is that you only get exhaust brake in 3rd and 4th gears. now if you modify the Valve Body you can get 2nd gear lockup and exhaust brake in in 2nd gear. Strange thing I bought mine back when the truck was barely a year old and only paid $700 for my Jacobs Brake.

I typically buy the absolute cheapest pads so to get the least amount of metallics in the pads. Being I use a exhaust brake for 95% of my braking and the service brakes at speeds typically below 25 MPH. I got 185k from the OE pads and only needed to turn barely 0.005 to 0.010 inches of the rotors.

Water hammer killed the sender. Really common for electric gauges to fail within about 1-2 years without water hammer protection.

Like one person ask about the Hazmat clean up blood from the shooting and was asking the Fed's about it and no one could tell anyone them if there was certified crew (the company name) was sent out to that school to clean up the blood. Maybe because there wasn't any blood? Maybe there wasn't any shooting?

The stock 140 Amp alternator is fine its just the time required to properly charge batteries is extended as the batteries get colder. So like I try to do is get to a full cycle of engine temp so the batteries can warm up and then they will accept charge better and charge quickly then. Typically not required. But if you do install it make sure to check the battery electrolyte more often because on board trickle chargers will deplete the electrolyte sooner killing the battery for dry plates. So at least check once a month. I do as well I see -20*F to -30*F here in New Meadows, ID. I use to keep mine plugged in all the time in the shop. But no longer do this. Since my schedule is very random and never know from day to day if I will leave or not. As for being out in the back country over night and cold starting without block heater never had a single issue with it yet. The biggest thing is to make sure the batteries have had plenty of charge time before shut down. Make sure you fuel is up to the task before shutting down in a cold environment. Then other sub systems like grid heaters and battery cables must be in the peak shape. Just another day in paradise...

Yes. I've shimmed the regulator spring with a few proper sized washers and gained the pressure increase I needed.

It a nutshell the whole Sandy Hook was a Gov't scam (called a False Flag). Photos of kids doctored up, stories don't match up, video of people milling around but not actually working or doing any first responder duties. To this day no one ever seen the dead bodies or could ID them if it was real.

:duh:Flagmanruss you not having any luck with this beast... I would for sure get a hold of him and call on a warranty issue.

Rule of thumb higher the cetane lower the BTU's hence lower the MPG's. US regulations state that all fuel must meet the 520 HFRR score. It may or may not be improved or lower in score. Most all spec sheets I find state 520 HFRR for non-biofuels. http://www.shell.us/products-services/shell-for-motorists/fuels/diesel/shell-diesel-fit---fuel-injection-technology/how-does-new-shell-diesel-fit-provide-precision-protection-.html http://www.shell.us/products-services/shell-for-motorists/fuels/diesel/shell-diesel-fit---fuel-injection-technology/ten-questions-about-shell-diesel-fit.html I would assume being there is no other information its market hype. How much? Not stated.

Wow. I never though of that one but Thank you for telling us. Next time I'll make sure to pass that one around as an idea...

Does the truck start and run?The thing in the ECM will run a modulated power supply (50% duty cycle) at cranking sometimes at starter bumps too. So if the truck starts and runs I would check the ECM lift pump lead while running to see if the power is constant 12V.

diesel4life hit it. Stock return lines are from the back of the head and the VP44 (overflow valve) that go to the brass tee at the back of the engine and drop down. Then head for the fuel tank.

Absolutely. I was born and raised in Mission Hills, CA (Just outside of Los Angeles). When my parents offer to allow me to join them on there adventure to Idaho. I said, "Sure why not?" It's been a heck of adventure and I've learned lot about people and myself as well. I've never per say held job to retire on but I've always created my own business and manage to pay the bills. Kind of like what is brewing for tomorrow. Get up in the morning get the house warmed up and take care of the web sites and email. Once I get breakfast and a shower pack up the 1996 Dodge with my laptop and software. Now take off for Riggins, ID and take care the city hall marquee sign. (Computer failed to boot). Then once done with that head over to my Buddy house (Kelly Hinkley) and pick him up and meet up with the Fire Chief at station 3. Now take care of station house maintenance. After that is done head back to town grab a bite and get ready for class. Then meet the fire chief back over at the City Hall for Fire Fighter training. By the time I'm done with all this I'll roll home at about 11pm at night. So I have to plan my days out so I never return home. Everything must be packed in the truck before I leave the house. This includes food, water, tools, any equipment (laptop, etc.), my fire turnouts, my fire radio on my hip, my multi-tool on my hip, typically pack my 9mm pistol also during the day too. If I get cell service I can call MoparMom let her know if a plan has change because of a fire call or something. But usually that doesn't happen unless I'm in the actually city limits of Riggins, ID. I might even get called out for Search & Rescue... Never know but I carry that pack in the truck as well for back up stuff just in case. Out here its not like you can hop out of the vehicle or stand along the road and make a cell call for 911. It doesn't happen... Even our fire radios are limited in some areas.

Subscribing. :thumb1:I'm thinking the same lines that Wild and Free is with using the 1996 Dodge Ram to tow either my BigTex 70TV or my Jayco Travel Trailer (less the water). It would be handy to have the 1996 step up to the plate as a secondary tow rig when the 2002 is down for repairs.

No way to for air to flow over the intercooler if the radiator face is blocked. You have to have a entry point and exit point for air to flow straight through. Air doesn't like to turn corners unless the far end has a low pressure point (hence a fan sucking air through a radiator or cooler).

92 6BT engine are really simple fuel systems. I would look at the diaphragm on the AFC and fuel pin and check it for holes, make sure the fuel pin isn't sticking. Since boost controls the fuel pin and the fuel makes or breaks the power I would check that out first.Stock air system on a 92 should have intercooler (air to air cooler) and already have a cold air intake in the front passenger side of the radiator support.
