Hey Gang... You got to see how the ol' Facebook crowd is really starting to poison young minds out there... Here is a video from a upset parent and his way of dealing with this issue... Truely sad to see this going on... MoparMom says, "I'm on Dad's side!" http-~~-//youtu.be/kl1ujzRidmU More links http://8minutesoffame.com/response-to-dr-phil/ https://www.facebook.com/tommyjordaniii

Yes... Just provide Dodge with your VIN number and they will look them up for you...

Must be pick on Mikie time...

AH64ID is the filter guru... I know he's got a filter table floating around... But I know the fleetgaurds ar OK filters but there is others that are better...

You've already got the TSB done to your truck... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/29-tsb-technical-service-bulletins/44-tsb-09-002-02-oil-overflow-from-the-front-crankcase-breather

Welcome to the family Native... CumminsDieselPwr is right we typically deal with the weak points of the truck first thing before anything else can go wrong. Being that fuel pressure gauge and a good quality lift pump usually keeps injection pump failures at bay.But enjoy the reading and ask plenty of questions...

Voltage drop test? http://articles.mopar1973man.com/general-cummins/34-engine-system/136-voltage-drop-testing-of-wiring-and-feed-cables

Di-electric grease is your friend I would put a dab of it in all the boots of the spark plug wires and any wiring on the engine. This will keep moisture from entering plugs and electrical. Also double check the distributor cap. I've seen where some caps don't come with a rubber seal to keep moisture out so when water hit a hot exhaust manifold the steam floods the cap and creates this problem. Another thing to double check is the rotor I've seen where rotors burn a hole through the plastic and arc to the rotor shaft.

I can explain that movement... When I'm splitting firewood I use my right thigh to steady the piece on my side of the splitter while the piece away from me is thrown in the truck. Then with a bump of my thigh I shove the remaining piece back in the jaw. That save my back from letting the 2 halves hit the ground and pick them back up. After doing damage to my back in the mid 90's splitting wood by hand I welcomed the 20 ton really fast... But even then I still got to be smart and save my back from too many up's and down movements. So this thigh holding process was created. So far I've split wood for a few friends and they are absolutely shocked on how fast I can clear 1 cord... In the time lapse video that was roughly 1/3 of a cord I split...Trust me swollen disc or popping ribs out of place really do hurt... When I pop the rib out... I would lay on the floor to get some comfort but it would take both of my parent to pick me back up... I phyiscally couldn't do it...

I guess it goes a long with the "Screamin' Beaver"

Best I can do... Supercooling wikipedia

Check out this short video... Water bottle freeze instantly after being banged or shook.

That's a lot of work to split wood like that... When I was a pup I used to split wood with a splitting maul, and for the tough stuff get the wedges after it... Now its 20 ton splitter...

With a little refab you could re-design the AirDog filter base so to pass your pumped fuel through it for filtering and air seperation being the pump is capable of serious pressure you can do it really easy... Hmmm... More I think about it the more I like it...

Since I only see a 2 PSI fall... I typically idle @ 19 PSI and WOT @ 17... This is with warm fuel. But with winter cold still here it more like 18 @ idle and 16 @ WOT.

Rare but possible... I've heard tales of this...

Actually it did... All the road around here are dirt and the Goldwind went everywhere a normal pickup or car could go. That includes crossing shallow creeks, mud holes, dirt roads... Etc... Between the Goldwing and the Rancher the only difference is the filter size and the oil amount... Rancher is 3 quarts and the goldwing is 4 quarts. The Rancher filter is tiny compared to the Goldwing... But what horrible is the price of the Rancher filter is just about as high as a filter for the Cummins... Just like the Goldwing and Rancher both have wet clutch systems...

Catholic...

Well I know there is a way of doing it... I've seen several adapt 10 speeds to a Cummins so I'm sure with a little research you'll get that tranny plugged in. I will admit you've out step me but I'm sure there is a few members her than can answer your question about adapting that beast to it.

No I think you got it figured out... I remember somewhere I read about another person that had a anti-thieft system causing the very same issues. So I would look into the CTM...

Well there is 3 things a VP44 requires to be happy... [*]Fuel pressure kept above 14 PSI. (Check!) [*]Fuel filter less than 10 micron (Unknown?) [*]Fuel Lubricity less than 450 HFRR (Unknown?) You got to remember todays fuel (~520 HFRR) doesn't meet Bosch standards for the VP44 or the CP3... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/general-cummins/36-fuel-system/68-hfrr-testing-of-common-diesel-fuel-additives As for filtration diesel standard is usually 10 micron but with tighter tolerances inside both the VP44 and CP3 pumps its best to use a high quality filter that gets down towards 2-3 micron. Better protection from debris.

Here is how to test cranking pressure...

I got a question to ask here and hopefully find a answer to this... I've got a 2008 Honda Rancher ATV I use here on the property for hauling stuff around.But my question is why is the Honda 420 Rancher have a oil change interval of 600 miles (or 100 hours)? What weird is my 83 Goldwing has a oil change interval of 6K miles. So why is the ATV thousand times less between oil changes?I'm considering moving to the 100 hours invertal even though the service manual specifies the miles first before hours. But I can blow through the 600 miles in no time in the summer being I get around 80-90 miles on a tank of fuel (3 gallons) I can suck up 2 tanks of a fuel in a day of riding through the forest looking for wood cutting spots.As for my oil its been dark brown colored but never black at 600 miles...

Yes... The CTM (Anti-thief) will prevent the engine from running I would look into fixing that and I think you'll find the truck will start... Once again welcome to the site... As for stupid questions... There is no such thing as a stupid question here on the site... The only way you are going to learn is to ask questions.

I'm not the type to pass around emails and such but this was a very pretty email and I wanted to share it with all you. In these troubling times it might be a good idea to say a simple prayer... God Bless... [TABLE=class: MsoNormalTable] [TR] [TD=bgcolor: transparent] ASAP!! "Always Say APrayer" Please do not break. Just 32 words, "God, our Father, If it is your will, walk through my house and take away all my worries and illnesses and please watch over and heal my family in Jesus name, Amen." This prayer is so powerful. Pass this to 12 people including me. Do not break or ask questions. Does God come first in your life? If so, stop what you are doing & send it to 12 people now Watch what He does! [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]
