Battery Voltage is Low - Anyone else?
12.55V isn't exactly a full charge either. 12.6 to 12.8 is a good full charge...Anything under 12.0 is basically dead...

So I Had Some Time
I've got 2 chainsaws now... My Sthl 046 Magnum (26" bar) and the older Homelite "Pocket Knife" (16" bar). They both are kept in the trailer box. But the homelite is my small trail saw for the ATV and the Sthl is my bad boy "Screamin' Beaver" for falling and bucking... No I don't need another saw... I've got 2... So when the bind up the "Screamin' Beaver" I'll pull out the "Pocket knife" and work it free...Or if I'm sent on a Search and Rescue I know I'll have both saw in the trailer... So no biggy...

Question on damage to VP44?
Hex is right... I would get that fuel pressure gauge back in function and check it for yourself. Did they check idle and WOT operation or just idle? I would check error codes and see if there is something else causing a issue (Cam sensor?)

Crankcase Vent - can't find it!
That's why I built my own vent tube... Then had my Dodge Dealer write it into my warranty so it not possible to be considered a problem that would VOID the warranty... Well I'm way past that now...

Upset Facebook parent...
I'm glad to see other parents put there foot down and deal with there children properly... Yeah it might of been a bit too much to shoot the laptop but I would of most likely done the same thing. I see the very same thing here in small towns of Riggins, ID and such. The kids think they get hand out and a free ride.Just 20 years ago it was common place to see the local school shutdown for hay season. All the ranches would hire all the kids to load bailed hay on trucks. For a day. Now today all you see is kids playing games on a Playstation, texting on their cellphones, and of course hanging out on Facebook... But they don't work or do anything... Very sad...

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...

2005 Dodge Durango Stalling
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.

So I Had Some Time
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...

So I Had Some Time
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...

Mechanical Lift Pump
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...
-
What fuel pressure do you run if you have a gauge?
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.
-
Truck died w/ fuel psi & no codes!
Rare but possible... I've heard tales of this...

08 Honda Rancher ATV
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...
