Mopar1973Man

You hit the nail on the head exactly. Plenty of firewood, nice warm fire, big cup of hot coffee, and my internet family. Shovelling snow is what keeps me in shape through the winter time. Then I plow the driveways out for my neighbor and I. Then I might get phone call to go find a lost soul in the woods that went out hunting or hiking. I only visit the big cities for supplies and good I need to keep the homestead going. So all summer long we dart in and out of Boise and Ontario picking up supplies so when the weather get foul and cold we just sit back and enjoy watching mother nature blanket the valley in white.

That's perfect temp!

(Phone call placed to Rogan about ScanGauge II)

Yea! For Rogan!

Not much for us as 24V trucks... As for the future I'm uncertain they might get more programming for it. But its nice to rig up custom XGauges for you own purposes. Remember ScanGauge II can be used in any vehicle so there is a full list of different gauges for others... http://www.scangauge.com/support/x-gauge-commands/

Your giving me way too much credit there CSM... You claim I'm a wizard with these trucks... Maybe in your eyes but I'm just a lowly Cummins owner just like everyone else here. I don't have any certification in diesel engines. Its just that with all my conversation with hundreds if not thousands of people I've learned a few tricks. But in all reality it the family member here that have the brains. You guys and gals that have fought to the bitter end to solve problems and share your answers with the family here are the ones that are wizards. So all you take a bow because it's this crazy little family that pulls it together and figures out how to solve those problems!

Kind of like me going to Boise, ID or Ontario, OR. The roads all the way down to Weiser, ID is kind and courteous people that allow you out on the highway and yield to you even though the don't have too. But it seem once I get past Weiser, ID into Payette and Fruitland, ID everything goes out the window. Now my old school California training kicks in and the lead brick is installed in the right foot. Now this time I'm glad I have 400 HP to get my truck rolling even when I'm 52 foot long. :burnout2:But like today I had to run to Riggins, ID to do a A/C job and set the cruise for 55 MPH kick back and enjoy the ride. No one around, no traffic, no problems...

Lot of times I just turn if all off and just roll down the windows too... Because 90% of the time when you get on a Idaho dirt road you will go up hill into the mountain where its cooler so save the fuel and enjoy the cooler air.

Over loaded with too much oil... If you been buying those can of freon from WalMart with the little hose it comes with a 2 oz shot of PAG oil too. So after a few time of recharging eventually the compressor is over loaded with oil and oil is much much hard to compress than freon. Just chillin'

Dang Hex is right I'm 180 miles from a interstate. Its wonderful out here. Like yesterday I went to McCall, ID for basic shopping (milk, eggs, bread, etc) which is 35 mile away from home. Set my cruise for 55 MPH and end up passing 3 cars going slower then me. (Posted 65 MPH) Then on the way home I set cruise again at 55 MPH and there was only 1 person that passed me in 35 miles. Living out here is awesome. Longer distances to get stuff and services but lack of traffic and crime is wonderful.

Excuse me... You mean ADawg...

Way I was taught in LA, California is you turn on your turn signal and start merging in to that lane. As long as your larger that the vehicle beside you they will move over. I see that here in Boise, ID with the I-84 interstate.I normal come rolling on the on ramp about +5 MPH over everyone else just do a forcible merge.

I have the shop look at as a inspection but nothing more... Get R' Done... Install those hubs...

Hmmm... I'm not sure but all I can say is look for the modified wiring and go from there... Pictures would be helpful.

I know I'm not a 3rd Gen but even my 2nd Gen with 3" exhaust that is straight piped I still pulling good MPG's. Speed is the biggest killer of MPG's (55-60 MPH is best) Tires is the second biggest killer of MPG's (Smaller are better)

I use a small piece of angle iron to mount right to the rear diff cover...

I hate to say it but I've got CajFynn's old RV275's and they have over 400K miles on them. All Ive done is clean them up and re-installed. As you've seen from my other post my MPG's are good and high.I'll have to dig up a old post about using a digital calliper on them and measured all the parts for fit.I would look toward drag being more of a issue like your brake calliper etc.Possibly a VP44 getting weak in timing?

Don't quote me but it had enough to directly power the vacuum solenoid on 12V. I don't know of any relay in my setup. I would hop over to Caspers Electronics and given them a call. They would be able to tell from looking at a picture of the plug and how it comes apart.

I thought I had the install manual but I don't. What you do is remove the ECM plug and there is a rubber plug in one of the pins that you remove then insert the EB lead into the ECM plug and then plug the ECM plug back into the ECM. Like I said it hooks directly with the ECM. Jocbos Brake use to carry the install manuals online in PDF form but they been removed the last I known of it.

Jacobs brake plugs into the ECM for its trigger signal. It give 2-3 second delay from the time you release the throttle till the time it arms the exhaust brake allowing the driver enough time to shift without the exhaust brake popping on instant every time you release the throttle.No mechanical triggers...No APPS wiring...Just simple...

Don't quote me for the exact number but the old school filter can is about 35 GPH vs 75 GPH for the new style drop in. This of course is number for stock fuel system and stock plumbing.

Welcome to the family and thank you for share different ideas!

From 55 MPH to 65 MPH the wind drag doubles...From 65 MPH to 75 MPH the wind drag doubles again or 4 times as much as 55 MPH.You get the picture the wind drag is exponential so the faster you drive the worse the drag becomes QUICKLY!.

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels and I will lead you to the Promised Land."Nearly 75 Years Ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land."Today, Congress has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and mortgaged the Promised Land!I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc.... I called a Suicide Hotline.I had to press 1 for English.I was connected to a call center in Pakistan. I told them I was suicidal. They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck...Folks, we're screwed...(Anonymous email sent to me)
