Sorry I can't help with the fender...But I was doing work around the house cleaning up for Christmas time left the tailgate and topper glass open and forgot about it. The jumped in the truck pull forward out of the garage hook the topper rear window on the garage door frame and tore the entire lower frame off the glass without breaking the glass. Thankfully for killer neighbor he had a super idea on how to fix it. :smart:So you not the only one with dumb butt moves...

Sorry but I don't know of any testing done yet. I know my freezers here don't get cold enough to do the testing. Chevron fuel here in Idaho has a pour point of -20*F. So I would need a good chunk of dry ice and and small cooler to do the testing with. My little digital thermometer is good for -45*F. Just never got around to watching diesel fuel freeze.

Be careful with any throttle holding device. This mod is not safe and the truck could be launched in gear without any way to cancel the cruise control so if you were in a hurry are upset and not thinking drop trans in reverse you might have a truck that shoving you down the drive backwards uncontrolled. I prefer a mod that if you touch the brake, throttle, trans place in gear or truck starts moving it Cancels the high idle. This way there is no mistakes and no one get hurt.

Typical Diesel for Idaho has a pour point of -20*F or the fuel is completely solid. Typical 2 cycle oil has pour point of -40*F and many snowmobile oils go as low as -50*F. So my theory is if you have water and you know water freezes at 32*F and then take salt water unknown mixture of and add it to the water the freeze point will fall how far? So if the water is diesel fuel and saltwater is the 2 cycle oil so the pour point should fall how much I don't know.

The hand draw the MPG fooler should be a 2.2kΩ. (single resistor)The IAT mode selector should have two 39kΩ and 56kΩ

Another good article from over at IdahoTurboDiesels.com http://1389blog.com/2012/12/23/larry-correia-refutes-the-gun-controllers-once-and-for-all/

Not yet... But let me dig around and I'll see what I can find.

Very Very True!

3.3k ohm is ECT fooler.2.2k ohm is the MPG fooler.

A wonderful blanket...

Not helping the matter... Typically when I'm home the pistol is either in my bedroom or just on the desk. Being there is no children and rarely do I get any guest here. I'm not terribly worried. But those of you with families with children I highly suggest for the safety of your family and children that there is a strict gun rules in your household. Many households out here start children in there early teens about guns and rifles so the kids know the dangers of them. As for the access of personal weapons. Now that is a thin line for all different types of answers. Personal view is what good is a weapon locked up in a safe? You not going to tell you attacker, "Hey wait a second while I unlock the gun cabinet." Kind defeats the purpose of self defense weapon. What good is a self defense weapon if left at home or in your vehicle? But back to the shooting... The shooting at least in my eyes in like Ryan said setup and controlled for media stunt to get parent to vote for stricter gun laws. Kind of like Eric Holder getting caught selling guns to Mexico to stir up problems for the US border. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Holder So way I see it the Gov't create the chaos and then step in with we've got the fix for this chaos. (Once again these are my personal views) PS: Merry Christmas all... UPDATE Like MoparMom and I have been talking also. Why is it that all mass shootings like in CT. are done by illegal gun carriers? So far from what MoparMom has found there is never been a single shooting where a person had a concealed weapons permit. So going after the legal gun owners in not the right thing to do here. Like myself I had a background check done, taken course here in Idaho for concealed weapons, etc. I've done everything the state requires to be a legal gun owner.

Just look at the original switch layout... You'll see my goof... :banghead:

Merry Christmas to you and your families as well.

I just use a pair of vise grips on the fuel hose to the tank. Just enough pressure to squeeze the fuel line shut.

Oh... The smell of coolant might be a heater core issue staring. Mine didn't fail from corrosive coolant but the thin solder joint failed and was weeping on top of the HVAC box.

Temp Gauge information... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/threads/4597-Anyone-know-what-the-factory-engine-temp-gauge-lines-actually-are?highlight=temperature+gauge http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3181&d=1316638408 http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3182&d=1316638423 http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3183&d=1316638439

Typically when doing a cooling filling I will pull the thermostat out fill the block till it just about to run over and then assemble the thermostat and finish filling the cooling system. As for the rear of the block its slightly warmer but typically nothing that going to cause issues in normal operation.

Even with full temp 190*F my cap side will measure much lower. As for the up/down is a sign of sticky thermostat which may or may not get better with time. Some get worse. Normal if it warms up to 190*F and sits that's a good. Happens. Some people get lucky and some end up with crappy batch of thermostats. No it doing just fine because water pump failures are very very rare on these engines. As long as its below the other high side mark your fine (215-220*F) If it passed 225*F it will trip the Check Gage light and Check Engine light set a error code for excessive temp and then go into limp mode. No. There are some 12V engine owner that cut the fins off the pump to reduce coolant pressure and flow. Cummins water pumps rarely fail. But if it bothering you... you could pull it out and check.

apparently you safe because you would of had problems in the first year.

I've got 10 years from my factory batteries. Any lead acid battery that you keep maintained by topping with distilled water and keeping them charged you'll never have any problem with a lead acid battery. Most here know my house is battery powered by 24V battery bank costing about $3,800 to replace. So I'm a wizard when it comes to lead acid batteries.

Best example. http-~~-//youtu.be/il7iJCKfmaE

Well the original owner of Pureflow had the idea of producing a quality fuel system that would end most of the VP44 issues. Which it did. Now he sold the company and the new owner stepped in with a bunch of MIT students and ask to redesign everything. Now they have and created this issue. I've even gone as far as talking with one of the sales reps from Pureflow and told them of the issues and problems. All I got was, "We'll advise our tech dept of the issues." No other follow up phone calls nothing. Of course nothing happened either in regards to the pumps they kept producing the same thing cutting corners and skimping on quality looking out for the bottom line (profit).(Personal opinion)

His set is almost exactly the same as a harbor freight set.
