Can't clear codes
Neat trick unplug the ECT sensor and allow the sensor to trip a error code and then try clearing the codes again.

fuel injectors Dodge Ram Cummins Diesel 2002 HELP!
Yea... I've seen some injectors with two shims and others with one shim. Shim should always be in the body of the injector first then the spring on top of it.

can't pull codes, comes up no link.
Pin 3 and P11 are the ODBII port data. You need to check those two pins against ground and see if you get 2.49 and 2.51 volts from the 2 pins. If your not see the 2.49 and the 2.51 volts now you got to start unplugging devices till you gain the voltage back. The device that you unplugg and gain the CCD Bus back will be your damage device.

Latest Wood Score
Oh, Come now Dorkweed you can do better than that... Where is the nice loaded truck picture? :lmao2:Seriously... Every little bit counts. I plan on head back out this fall and getting more wood and hauling home even more. I've got roughly 7 cords in the shed split and stacked and got about 7 cords still outside. I can hold about another 5 cords in the shed.

New revised MPG/High idle switch design
I did get a quick article put up in place for detecting the high idle software. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/26-engine-systems/436-high-idle-detecting-if-the-ecm-has-been-enabled-for-high-idle I'm going to get a video produced very soon.

New revised MPG/High idle switch design
Most of us 24V see a MPG drop in the winter time and then a good gain in the summer time. What I've found with the help of ISX the only difference between 12V and a 24V is the IAT sensor. On the 24V trucks as the sensor gets colder than about 100*F then the MPG's start to fall off from fueling and timing changes from the programming on the ECM. So the MPG fooler forces the ECM to thinking its a hot summers day every day. So most people report less loss of MPG's through the winter months.

New revised MPG/High idle switch design
I got to thank Yankneck for taking on this project and making the improvements to the design. I've been working with Yankneck closely to make this the best version of the high idle mod. Yes. I will be producing a article really soon on how to detect high idle software on your vehicle. I'll post a link to the article very soon.

New Cummins engine announced
I keep looking at that V8 design thinking it starting to look like a Ford where the engine is buried under a pile of other stuff. Should of stayed a I6 design...

Edge Comp Tap
You might find the 4x1 effects the 5x5. This is a known Edge Comp program bug. I typically run the sublevels all matching. Also remember 1-3 are defuel modes. So with sublevel 1 you only have 33% of stock fuel till 20 PSI of boost. With the RV275's you should be OK and nearly smokeless at 5x3 or 4x3.

I think I finally caught up with ISX for a day run!
Might work good for highway usage but I also got to figure in dirt road operation too. Slightly softer pressure tend to keeping the tires locked down better on gravel roads. Yes. I will admit I like the slightly high pressure on the highway but I bounce between dirt and pavement so often I got to split the difference.

I think I finally caught up with ISX for a day run!
All 65 MPH from Riggins to Grangeville but very little traffic so I set the cruise and relaxed.As for tire pressure I need to tweak them a bit. Front: 4400 / 2 = 2200 / 3042 = 0.72 x 80 = 57.8 PSIRear: 3080 / 2 = 1540 / 3042 = 0.50 x 80 = 40.4 PSI (so I'm 3 PSI off...)

Mike! This is for you!
118 PSI / 0.433 = 272.51 Vertical feet of head.You get 0.433 PSI for every 1 foot of vertical fall you have.

I think I finally caught up with ISX for a day run!
Just scaled again at Primeland in Grangeville, ID with 2 passengers, 1 dog, half tank of fuel no cargo other than typical tools. Front Axle ------- 4,400# Rear Axle ------- 3,080# Gross Weight --- 7,480# Trip to Grangeville, ID and back to home. Vitals I can give... Map of travel http://goo.gl/maps/ODZLN High Temp Outside: 85*F Speed: 55 MPH or lower speed limits never exceeded 55 MPH. IAT: Forced to 143*F checked actual a few times and it varied from 120-125*F. Coolant Temp: 193-195*F Boost: 1.5 to 3 PSI on the flats and tried not to climb much above 14 PSI while climbing grades. EGT's: (400-500*F down) (550-625*F up) on average max'ed out at 800-850*F climbing 7% grade at 55 MPH for 7 miles. Tire Pressures: Front Axle: 58 PSI - Rear Axle: 37 PSI Fuel was treated for 128:1 ratio 2 cycle oil. Air Conditioning was on and used. Total MPG --------- 23.5 MPG Total Distance ----- 121 Miles Maintenance done before trip: Fuel filter, Transfer case fluid changed, Power Steer fluid flushed, and other fluids where checked. Day isn't over yet I still got to haul back to Riggins, ID to install oxygen sensors in a Toyota truck and then head to fire meeting. So I'll post the final for the day later this evening.

starting trouble when hot
Napa store roughly about $11 to $13 bucks. It will be a 30 amp relay and it will require its a 5 pin not a 4 pin relay.

A/C not working
Most likely low on freon. When properly charged with freon the AC will not cycle at all. The compressor will run constantly. Hook up your manifold gauges and check you pressures before changing any switches. Make sure your seeing at least 35 PSI on the low side with the compressor running. If there is less that 40 PSI the compressor will most likely not start.

turbocharger cummins
Typically turbo will last a long time only if you have 2 things for them.* EGT gauge* Good oil and oil filtersIf you keep the EGT's down so you not melting the turbo and over heating the bearings as well as allowing the turbo to cool down before shutting off. Most look for about 300*F before shutting down. As for oil you don't need any fancy synthetic oils but a good name brand petroleum oil that is CI-4 or CJ-4 grade that is 15w-40 typically. Most here opt for Fleetguard oil filters. I'm switching back over to NAPA Gold filter from here on out.But Hex0rz got the article for ya...

Makes no sense.
AirDog / Raptor with the adjustable regulators are known for issues of stability. I would contact Pureflow and find out if there is a updated regulator or if you need to just replace it because of a damage regulator unit.I would like to ask if you have the Big Line Kit all the way to VP44? Is there any Banjo Bolts or stock plumbing left on the truck?Another thing to check for is air leaks at the suction lines. A way to check this is to pressurize the fuel tank by using a blow gun and a rag at the filler neck. Just give it about 1-2 PSI and have a friend crawl around looking for wet spots or wet connections. AirDog / Raptor quick connectors are known to leak air as well.

30,000 miles later I changed my fuel filters
Fill er' up with a tank of premium unleaded that should clean the fuel tank out. Seriously I would consider dropping the tank and washing it out with solvent or something if its that bad.

Edge Comp Tap
Correct. 5x3 5 - Is the main level which happens to be the highest setting of 120 HP. 1. 40 HP 2. 60 HP 3. 80 HP 4. 100 HP 5. 120 HP 3 - Is the sublevel or how fast the Edge will fuel compared to boost pressure. 1. 33% of stock fuel until 20 PSI of boost pressure 2. 50% of stock fuel until 15 PSI of boost pressure 3. 67% of stock fuel until 10 PSI of boost pressure 4. Some extra fuel at 0 PSI of boost pressure 5. Full fuel at 0 PSI of boost pressure These setting holds true for both Edge Comp and Edge Juice products except the Juice has a different place for the sublevel. Edge Comp you hold the power switch for 2-3 seconds and then release then the sub-level will be displayed for the main level you last had set. The level bars will blink in a quick frequency. Now you can adjust the sublevel turn the power off and back on to enable the new setting.

30,000 miles later I changed my fuel filters
Here is the fleetguard filter user 30,000 miles vs. fleetguard new. Then here is older picture back before I had a AirDog 150 and this was done at 15,000 miles. Fleetguard filter (AirDog 150) with about 2K miles if that. I cut it open because I wanted to know if it plugged or was it the AirDog (AirDog regulator goofed up!)

I have been learning a lot on this site
You might do a power steering fluid flush and then tighten the sector adjustment on the steering box to take up a bit of slop. But it depends on how wore out the box is too. If you decide to adjust the sector adjustment I would do it a little at a time 1/4 turn and test drive.

30,000 miles later I changed my fuel filters
I figured now would be a good time to change the fuel filters being its double the typical mileage. Stock is suppose to change out at 15,000 miles or every other oil change. Here is what the stock filter and the Donaldson P551315 looks like after 30,000 miles of fuel pumped through them.I must be getting clean fuel because I was totally expecting after 30,000 miles I would be look at a AirDog filter that was black and the stock filter about the color I see now. But I was shocked to see both rather light colored. Now I know to just use my fuel pressure gauge and look for the fuel pressure drop. Because both of these could of gone farther yet and still in good condition.

I think I finally caught up with ISX for a day run!
Well even the last 3 days have been 16-17 MPG because of trailer hauling. Even today with doing service work to the truck and quick blast up the highway and back (2 miles) its barely 15 MPG. But tomorrow I'll most likely be heading to Grangeville, ID for sprinkler parts. Nice long haul up 7% grade for 7 miles.

I think I finally caught up with ISX for a day run!
Remember this is only a day trip 106 miles one time hitter. It was day after day tank total out and pump fill type. I'm hoping to do it again the same type of trip and hit those kind of numbers again. If can then I consider it real but if its just a single high spot hitter well... The RV275 injectors from CajFlynn were OK but the pop pressure and nozzles wasn't correct nor a clean spray. The +50HP injectors are much cleaner spray pattern. Then after my last big haul 430 miles to Heyburn Park with the RV the truck has changed in performance. I think there might of been carbon build up or something? (Can't explain it) Ever since then the MPG's have been slightly strong across the board. Canopy/Topper was on. I've got little to no reason to pull it off now being I've got the BigTex 70TV I can hitch up to haul big stuff now. Winter is coming we'll see what happens with these new +50 Injectors through the winter now. You got to remember when I got the +50HP injectors they where flow matched and pop tested to match as well across all 6 injectors. Not just 6 injectors pull off the shelf and tossed in a box and shipped. Even worse to expect good anything from 400k mile RV275 injectors not even the right pop pressure at the end 260 bar?! When it should be 310 bar. They were fun but now seeing the difference between OK and done right is way different even in power.

starting trouble when hot
No. This is totally separate relay added to delay the lift pump from starting.
