Injector Body Torque
I've been using 30 ft/lbs to assemble the injection body. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/25-fuel-system/62-injector-cleaning

Better MPG with Edge EZ on level 3 ???
This isn't even a diesel... This is a 5.9L GASSER! http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3978&d=1336440372

Surface Rust on frame
WARNING! Becareful of how you do this! You might want to call the manufacture of the trailer on proper jacking / jackstanding of your trailer! I've seen some bad post where people did it wrong and damage interior walls, cabinets, doors, etc from frame twisting and improper location of the jackstands. On mine I not to worried I got square tube frame and I would jack up both axles and place a jackstand just behind and forward of the leaf springs on the frame. This is to try to load as close as possible to the axles as it was designed. Saturdays?!?! Those are missing on my calendars... Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Fri, Sun (gotta go to church!) Got beer in the fridge but never enough time to drink it... :banghead:

Had to miss some time here last week
Sorry for your loss... It truly sad to lose a family member to cancer. I'll make sure to say a few prayers for your Mom.I lost my step father to cancer back in 2004 he only lasted 76 days and pasted away. I also did the hospice as well and kept him at home.

Pulled this lastnight
Very possible... Now if he's not running a box I would say its very possible. Like Just using a Edge Comp with stock injectors is 120 HP and the EGT's are very managable. But stacked with a box it should be insane...

Surface Rust on frame
Heck all I did was go down to Home Depot and got a Krylon Tune Up for my trailer frame... :whistle:Yeah I know I should do it right some day but... I want to retard as much of the surface rust right now before its forgotten and now is really ugly. My problem is my trailer sits down rather well and can be difficult to crawl under to do work.

Just can't seem to get a break...
I would try a new probe myself if its not like the gauge AH64ID got with the stepper motor and signal amp. I've got a old school DiPricol gauge with just the probe. So if there is no box then I would try a new probe.

check engine light, intermiitant tach, cant scan codes
Sound like a loose connection or a short to ground somewhere.

Ho injectors & So
They should work fine. I think the injectors are the same in both the SO and HO engines its just the fact of the injection pump differences and the compression difference that makes the extra 10 HP.

Thermostats
Let me clear that up... Early 2nd Gen's (1994-1998) is 180*F Thermostat. Late 2nd Gen's (1998.5-2002) is 190*F Thermostat.

Time to exercise the dog (Diesel)
Funny... He's got nearly 4 acres here to run on but never does... He'll just runs out do his thing and run back to the house to hide in his blanket...

Time to exercise the dog (Diesel)
Since we had a break in the weather and needed to run to New Meadows, ID for supplies for this weekends project on the guest house we figured we let the dog run around while its nice. So here we are on Smokey Boulder road at last years camping spot. http-~~-//youtu.be/gFNZfxL5Qc4 This post goes along with this post too... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/threads/5810-1996-Dodge-Ram-16-17-MPG-is-reality!?p=53825#post53825

I think I am in trouble!
Time to take a trip over to Tractor Farm and Family and talk to TFF Admin (LiveOak Here).

check engine light, intermiitant tach, cant scan codes
You got a problem on that leg of the CCD network it show be roughly 2.4-2.5 volts. So double check and make sure there is no other shorts... Might be a damaged device (Overhead console, radio, etc.)

0216 Code
Is the P0216 code present? As for fuel pressure you need to be above 14 PSI under WOT operation for good VP44 life span. 10 PSI is the bare minimum and most times will cause damage any ways because of lack of return fuel flow because the overflow valve is closed below 14 PSI so cooling and lubing is gone so damage occurs. Keep it in the green... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/25-fuel-system/49-fuel-pressure-specification-for-bosch-vp44-injection-pumps

New to Cummins, need some possible fuel diagnostics
Don't do that and screw up your MPG's... Aggressive tread patterns tend to increase rolling resistance. Then larger/heavier tire increase rotational mass. Like the tire/rims on my truck are 62 pounds a piece. Also like on the 96 Dodge Ram 1500 I found that just cleaning up the nose of the truck and hidding my fog lamp in the grill and putting the air dam back on gain me nearly another +1 MPG. Aerodynamics are extremely important!

I'm sorry... :banghead: Wasn't paying attention... :banghead:

-REMOVED- Wrong fuel system

its time
No need to do that... All you do is ruin the tires and ruin the ride. On a empty truck 50-60 PSI is more than enough.

external regulator& factory connector
You can leave the stock wiring to the alternator attached but the green wire will most likely require to be cut going back to the PCM. The blue wire is the +12V for the regulator but the green shouldn't have any other contact with other devices but the alternator and the live regulator. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/general-cummins/34-engine-system/134-voltage-regulator-mod

Is it time for a pump?
Double check the red/green wire at the injection pump for +12V power also check the relay by swapping it out. Scan tool might show that the ECM is triggering but the relay, fuse or wiring might have a problem too.
