The only mod on the turbo is the boost elbow that came with the Edge Comp that all. Completely stock turbo! I can hit the 35 PSI pin while towing my Jayco travel trailer easy. As for RPM's normal 1,500 to 2,500 span... Nothing crazy... AirDog 150 Fuel System Stock VP44 Injection Pump Stock HX35 Turbo With Edge Comp Boost Elbow Edge Comp (5x5 & Wire Tapped) RV275 Injectors 3" Straight Piped Exhaust BHAF That it in a nut shell... As for old Dyno run back in 2007 I made 381/831 without the RV275 Injectors. I'm guessing I right close to 400 HP... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/members-rides/17-mopar1973man/145-2002-dodge-ram-dyno-results The group I ran with... http://idahoturbodiesels.com/articles/?p=9

Stock VP44 is fine... No need for any hot rod pumps. The reason why the failure is lack of fuel pressure and you have no way of monitoring the fuel pressure as your driving. Any thing under 14 PSI is marginal. 10 PSI is the bare minimal limit. Below 10 PSI your doing damage just like running the engine on low oil pressure. You got to remember the only thing that cools and lubes the VP44 injection pump is the fuel pressure that is return to the fuel tank. So if the over flow valve is open by 14 PSI it makes sense to keep the pressure above that.So now that point out you need a updated fuel system like AirDog, FASS or Raptor.More or less take care of the weak spots first before adding any toys to the truck...

At least now you have information if the problem returns...

The guys are right the lift pump and the VP44 both took on damage. So you end up replacing both plus it seem you need to install a fuel pressure gauge as well...Welcome to the family sorry to start off on the wrong foot...

Watch the top gauge... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grl72Up-8T0

Like most all lubricant today they are full of additive packages for enhancement like soft metals (ash) so the high ash content will leave a nice build up of white harden deposits on the injectors and pistons. Just like the old tymers telling stories of using ATF back in the 70's for injector cleaner. Sure back then the oils were very basic now today very different and much more added to them. I highly suggest you don't add it to the fuel because of the negative effects.

Might be a loose wire connection that got hot while cranking the starter. Was it in the cab or in the under the hood?

Or its a bit of a air leak in the fuel system.Or weak fuel pressure from overflow valve issue.

Get a second person and watch the cables on the axle and be sure they are working properly. I come to find out last fall my passenger side cable had rusted solid and created the same issue you have no amount of adjustment could fix it.

Is the E Brake pedal returning full into the up position?

D'Oh! Well it all depends on how deep your pockets are...

Fuse cracked did it?

Why did you change your mind?

Edge Juice has a turbo timer function that might be screwed up and holding the ignition on. Try tapping your brakes and see if it dies or double check your Edge setting. Even better yet pull the Edge loose and test again.

Check your manifold bolts I've had one come loose and pop out hit the hood and fall back into the injection lines. That little hole is enough of a leak to drop you from typical max pressure down to 8-10 PSI and very smokey.

Maybe that's why the AirDog and FASS pumps with twin filter have a prefilter / water separator before the pump. Just something else to consider when building a fuel system or your truck. More filters the better the protection.

Remember todays ATF in nothing like 1970's ATF which was just red dye hydraulic fluid. Now its got friction modifiers, anti-scorching compounds, high ash content etc... Not exactly a good thing for the engine or the fuel system.

That was most likely CajFlynn... He called here asking for Texas state members.

So it was a flame sense problem...It's odd they don't use a better material like stainless steel or something that doesn't oxide over time...:whistle:Yellow jackets, bald face hornets, etc... I really don't have much likely for them even though I'm not allergic to then but hate being stung by them too. OUCH! I normally go on the hunt looking for the starting of nest and get them dealt with pronto.

Now it explains why Dodge 1st Gens and early 2nd Gens did awesome for MPG and then as the years rolled on they got worse. Can't have a good MPG vehicle in US.

900 The CCD data bus is not operational. 920 The cluster is not receiving a vehicle speed message from the PCM. 921 The cluster is not receiving a distance pulse message from the PCM. 940 The cluster is not receiving an airbag lamp-on message from the ACM. 950 The cluster is not receiving an ABS lamp-on message from the CAB. 999 An error has been discovered. Sounds like you got a NO BUS message and lost CCD Network communication with the console. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/general-cummins/34-engine-system/81-ccd-data-bus

Check the blue wire to the alternator it should be +12V and the green wire should be a variable ground. Now if you unhook the green wire and add a ground from the alternator to ground itself the alternator should be in full runaway overcharging. Did you check the alternator fuse?

He's in Canada... I do have the limits for the US... http://www.towingworld.com/articles/TowingLaws.htm

Public scale and find out huh... I scale out at 7,300# (3311.224 Kg) This should help. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1546&d=1301768538
