Not sure... Once again from all I can give is hear-say about this... I've got no experience of this yet... Like MnTom from over at www.dieseltrucksite.com had a freeze plug blow out of his truck while pulling his travel trailer up a grade. Here is a Opie Coolant Bypass mod for that reason... http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-performance-parts-discussion/95455-opie-bypass-kit-install-pics.html But how, what and why... I'm not sure...

Fluid change might be a good idea being the fluid is most likely burnt and the filter is plugged up. When you do the fluid change you need to do the band adjustment too. Might be a loose band causing the slip.

Ok... As for the signature that's easy... Just go up top and hit the User Control Panel -> Edit Signature... Normally there is a 20 post restriction on the download area so I upgraded you access so you can access the 03 Factory Service Manual for you truck... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=189 I'm pretty sure there is another tranny controller but this book should help a bunch.

If the truck is going to be sitting you might consider pulling the IOD (Ignition Off Draw). There is a special clip to hold the fuse for you but it will pull out enough to disconnect the accessories...

Actually its a 5 foot wide plow blade... Not bad...Control the up and down with a electric winch and the angle you need to hop off and unlock and swing the blade. Left to right 45*, 30*, 0, 30*, or 45*... Old vid but funny... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQRpzvSgQcY

I got to admit your right... The only bonus I had was I could buy at wholesale price and just had to pay sale tax next year. Or go to Staples and get it there and there is no taxes (Oregon is tax free) but they are high in price... So you got me sold I'm going to be ordering from tigerdirect.. Thanks guys...

I've heard the same thing that sometimes the cummins water pump has been known to blow freeze plugs out...As for what causes it, why or how... I'm not sure...

Can I move in? Update...

I'm still holding to my guns... That it sounds like a ground problem...Take notice both HVAC controls and Instrument cluster are on the same ground...

Let put it this way I've gotten pretty squirrelly with just the truck in 2WD and using the exhaust brake on snow packed roads... Most people stay away from me after that...Also I rarely run 4WD on snow... I've never run chains yet...

Here is the plan for the morning... I got to dig my way down to the other house to get my ATV out to ride over next door to barrow the neighbors ATV and plow his yard then then mine... Daylight is here but the the visablity is moderate to low right now maybe 1 mile. Last night the power flickers and tripped all the yard floods on so I had to dig my way down to the guest house and shut off the breaker in the panel last night. That' sucks when you in flip flops and shorts at 10pm at night...:duh:Not to mention I got to careful push the snow off the RV too...I'll see about getting out the video camera later...

Well both Cummins and Dodge don't suggest anything above 20% because of the water problem with Bio. I remember seeing a document about if your to use fuels above this you needed to upgrade you fuel seperator to handle it better. In any case I would upgrade the fuel filter to a 2-3 micron. Common rails don't like dirty fuel at all...

When the did the testing of each product is was mix as specified by the instruction for each product. Since 2 cycle oil was a home brew they pick 200:1 to be a safe number.

Good question... Because if you think about it I'm running my Edge Comp on 5x5 (120 HP) and running RV275 Injectors (40 HP) and all I got is 3" straight pipe exhaust, BHAF, and HX35 (stock) turbo. I will admit 100 HP injectors will flow a lot of fuel so it all based on what you plan on doing...

Good Morning all... I've got to do some digging... 8:10am 01/18/2012Front Porch...Front PorchLooking toward the RV..Toward the guest houseBack DeckBack Deck.Still coming down...

I shouldn't complain I bought this last Phillips back in 2007 and it finally died in 2012... I think what keep them from dying fast is I burn at the slowest speed possible. Very, very rare to fail a disc. Yeah I was surfing tigerdirect last night and was droolin' all over the keyboard then Mopar Mom spoke up and said since we are snowed in you might as well get that stuff order and get the computer fixed... (More about the snow in my other thread)

Man your cruel...

Couple of things come to mind air leak in the low pressure side of the fuel system and fuel is draining back to the tank.Fuel pressure problems just because you got a AirDog doesn't mean the upper end fuel pressure is still good I've seen plenty of videos watch pressure go from 19 at idle to 0 at WOT.I would go back and do the basic test with error codes nad testing both idle and WOT pressures. Yeah you might end up building test gauge.

I'm curious if you actually done it yet...

It's here... Wow! There is about 1 foot of snow and it still falling... :stuned:Pics taken at 9:32pm 01/17/2012

Since I still hold a account with my computer part vendor down in Boise, ID for computer parts and I still got my Tax ID number why not I can buy it at wholesale and just pay the taxes later... So that what I'm up to tommorow I got to order a new hard drive to replace my blown back up drive which is currently ponied up on my storage drive. Also order the DVD-RW so I can burn backup... Here is a snoop of the vendor I've got... http://www.computercentral.com/store/ I'll take a look at TigerDirect... --- Update to the previous post... Well I might actual go with TigerDirect prices seem much lower than shopping with my old vendor...

:lmao2:I'm just like you now ISX... I just kick back and cruise with the cruise control set. The only time I get a bit concerned is when I can no longer see the hood of the car behind me then he gets a warning (blink of the backup lights) still there you get a cloud from the exhaust. By then most have giving up and backed off or gotten pissed and hauled on around. But its funny now hitch up my 31' Jayco and people are nice, don't tailgate, and are understandable about be traveling slower towing a trailer than traveling slower empty. Goes back to ISX race theory... But back in the days of fire fighting we all knew we were not limited by the speed laws and could exceed them for emergency calls. But after seeing several videos and safety classes about high speed driving and safety it was shocking how many accidents happen envolving emergency vehicles fire, ambulance, and even police. At that point the laws kick in hard and heavy on you. Well knowing this when driving I ask myself if a deer pop out on the road around the corner could I stop or avoid him without causing a accident? Or what happen if I came around the corner and Grandma is pulling out on the highway could I avoid a accident? The key factor comes back every time is speed. If your driving slower you can react to conditions easier because there is more time. So now after researching the speed laws in Idaho there is no minimum speed limit and you allowed to travel as slow as you wish as long as you yield to traffic behind you if there is more than 3 vehicles. Now this is with in reason of weather, road conditions, vehicle condition, etc. But the law does state if your traveling to fast and loose control of your vehicle you will be sited with a heavy fine regardless of you lost control at speeds below speed limit. So going back to the deer thought say he did pop out on the road and the speed limit is 65 MPH and your traveling 55 MPH and you swerve to miss him and end up in the ditch stuck and with vehicle damage. You will be sited for excessive speed for road conditions.Just more to think about...

Better yet... A pair of 100w bulbs looking back at you. A flip of a switch and they usually back off. I'm more and more becoming a 55 MPH person now. There is no where I can't go and get there in the roughly same amount of time as 65 MPH. So like going to Boise, ID I would leave about 30-45 minutes earlier and get there on time. I never forget get my butt chewed on by another diesel truck owner asking me why I was driving so slow. I just asked him what his MPG was and he replied with 14-16 MPG. All I could do is laugh and reply with 22 MPG and pulled my ScanGauge II out and showed him. He just turned away and shut up.

The only thing you'll get is high idle... The ABS/Speedo will be lost on return to stock (At least what I've been told). Owner [*]Return his/her vehicle to stock. [*]Unplug as usual. You [*]Hook up the smarty and run a program. [*]Take a ride around the block. [*]Hook up again return to stock. Owner [*]Hook up and return to previous programming. VIN lock is only in effect as long as a program is in use in a vehicle. Smarty is unlocked when the vehicle is returned to stock.

Smarty will work... Just have the owner return to stock. Then you can use it on your truck take a ride enjoy some power. Then return to stock... Then he'll be able to use it again on his vehicle again...The VIN lock function is to prevent 1 owner programming a bunch of vehicles with one tuner.
