Check your tank vent on the fuel sender...

Right on... Nice to see you got it fixed and running good!

Thank you all... You make a huge difference in my driving skill I've managed to drive it now into town and get the tender loaded with water and fuel and ready to attack fire tomorrow morning at 6am. I'm not going to sleep much tonight. So I'll get some posting done. But I wanted to say thank you all for all the wonderful information and getting me schooled up for this water tender.

I've been called out on a forest fire. We have a lightning strike fire close to home and will be gone off an on but I'll try to keep everyone up to date.

http://www.itd.idaho.gov/dmv/driverservices/CDL.htm Exemptions from CDL Requirements Even if your vehicle is a commercial vehicle according to the definition above, you may qualify for one of the CDL exemptions. There are four categories of CDL exemptions. Recreational vehicle exemption - applies to drivers of vehicles used exclusively to transport personal possessions or family members for non-business or recreational purposes. Military vehicle exemption - applies to military vehicle operators who are considered active-duty military personnel and to civilians who are required to wear uniforms and are subject to the Code of Military Justice. Emergency vehicle exemption - applies to drivers of firefighting or other emergency equipment used in response to emergencies involving the preservation of life or property. Farm vehicle exemption - applies to drivers of farm vehicles, including family members and farm hands, under certain conditions only. The farm exemption applies to drivers of farm vehicles which are: [*]Controlled and operated by the farmer, [*]Used to transport agricultural products, supplies, and machinery to or from a farm, [*]Not used in common or contract carrier operations, and [*]Not driven more than 150 miles ("as the crow flies") from the farm. The farm exemption is intended for small farm-to-market operations only. Unless Idaho is involved in a reciprocity agreement with the other state(s), the farm exemption does not extend beyond the boundaries of Idaho. It does not include farmers who are transporting other farmers' products if they are receiving any compensation for the services.

Well as for the first 4 sound like its getting low... Could you post up the pressures of each cylinder after you get 5 & 6...

That would be optimal but I'm not going to pay for it though. I really doubt the fire dept will pay for it either. Idaho law states that fire dept are exempt from the CDL requirement. I drive several other large and heavy trucks without a issue. My only issue is working with a 9 speed trans. All of our other trucks are automatics put in DRIVE and stomp the throttle.

HX35W will support +50HP injectors and a Edge Comp (+120HP) without any changes other than a boost elbow.

I still prefer the open carry over concealed carry. Less laws, less restrictions and everyone knows your packing and not to mess with you. Like my 9mm Star I carry is a real PITA to conceal and being comfortable while concealing it. I'm not going to wear my shoulder holster and be forced to wear a jacket over the top to prevent imprinting (the outline of weapon) under a shirt. Everyone knows I carry and no one has a problem with it. But I'm glad to see other states jumping on board and getting the protection to the honest citizens that need it and not writing laws that give the criminals the protection. Gun free zones is a invitation to a criminal to either do harm to others in a shooting or just rob others. Take notice majority shooting are done in a "Gun Free" area.

211266 miles. These engine are typically good for 1 Million miles. So I would back track now and look and see why the oil loss valve train (valve lash) or compression issues. Another good question is the compressor wheel of the turbo clean or dusty looking? I gather you've got a stock air box still have to checked for dust leaks typically leave a dust trail on the lid.

No. The vent is there to vent off blow-by gases of the engine. I would do the basics right now double check your valve lash and do a compression test to see where your at. Sound like you already have the TSB modifed tappet cover. What's the odometer reading? Another question are you running a washable air filter like a K&N, S&B, AFe, etc?

Another reason I'm not fond of electric gauges. Way too often I see connection issues that hang up accurate reading and give false readings.

Then that pump motor is damaged or burnt up.

Try Eric over at Vulcan Performance... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/vendor-dealer-contacts

If its starting cold fine but hot poorly then I would check next time its heat soaked and pull the lift pump lead and then try again if it bust off easy then its a torn diaphragm. But if you got fuel leaks typically it would be poor starting in both conditions.

Take a peek... You can see now all thee things that are tied to the CCD network talking back and forth.

I hate to say it but all the electronics in the cab are ruined. As for the interior all the seats, carpeting,etc will all have to be remove and dried and/or replaced. As for the exterior I would drain all fluids and pull all the injectors to verify there is no water in the cylinders. All air plumbing will have to be pulled and cleaned. Big job no matter how you slice it.

My setup. Rock solid and never have to worry about corroded connections, shrink tube, di-electric grease, etc.

You might take a look at my signature. Without my injectors I was at 381/831 now I should be roughly around 400 HP. I've got enough power to break the tires loose in 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th gear (wet road). http://articles.mopar1973man.com/members-rides/17-mopar1973man/145-2002-dodge-ram-dyno-results

CCD Network failure. Sounds like a loose wire. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/general-cummins/34-engine-system/81-ccd-data-bus When the CCD network dies (NO BUS) the computers can't share information. So the PCM is asking the ECM is the engine OK? ECM replies yes coolant is good, not WOT, and no limp mode you can fire up the A/C. So in this one example I showed how some basic communications occur. Read the article and it will explain some basics.

wasn't sure... Just want to sure we were both on the same page...

In both cases both biodiesel and Ethanol fuels tend to be much lower in the BTU energy levels. The only reason they keep pushing this stuff is the fact the lower and lower the BTU level the more and more fuel you have to buy more fuel to travel farther. So little company like "Carb Defender" comes along selling a product to fix the fuel. Ok. So lets think about it. So you have something mixed in the fuel that you don't want and add another product to the fuel to alter it? It sure isn't removing it. Kind of like getting diesel fuel into the engine oil and buy a product to dry up the engine oil. What?! So in this case the alcohol is still in the fuel but adding another product to mask the issues. So now two companies profit the oil company for producing the ethanol and the "Carb Defender" for making the band-aid...

:think:How much HP/TQ are you planning on building?If you use the rule of thumb that for every 10 HP you need at least 1 PSI boost. So for 350 HP you could still run a stock HX35 turbo, stock head gasket, stock head bolts, any chip/enhancement box plus RV275 injectors with any head work at all. I'm right close to 400 HP now and tow quite a bit there the summer and still mostly stock on every thing but the injectors.So what your design?

Got my heavy duty starter contacts from LarryB for both thr 1996 Dodge 1500 and the 2002 Dodge 2500. Funny to see that the mighty Cummins and the little gasser have similar starters.

:think:I would say its just the rear speed sensor in the rear axle.
