No using the key trick where you turn the key On - Off - On - Off- On in under 5 seconds then it will diplay error codes in the odometer display. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XQJmaIF9Do

Might not be a bad idea... It might give you a peek in side look around for any damage. It could be that the metal was up in the axle tubes and now has flushed out?

Neither am I but still...

Most likely the metal is from a previous problem and it wasn't cleaned... So I would replace it and then keep an eye on the rear diff oil and the plug magnet and see if there is more metal showing up.

You could use either product as far as I know...

Smarty would be the only choice for a programmer that can read codes and give a boost of power. As for being able to read codes and give back information back (live data) then you would be looking at a ScanGauge II be the boost of power is not part of it.

Dripley is right the rear speed sensor is failing that why the speedometer is not functioning properly. Not to mention its messing with the ABS computer because its seeing half a truck rolling faster than the other half so ABS is confused... Just replace the rear speed sensor and you'll be good to go...

Cool maybe you'll be writing a few articles to add to the article database...

Welcome to the family... :thumbup2:Grab a beverage and sit down and read... Ask plenty of questions...

53 is normally found near the turbo oil return line... http://stamey.info/Truck/Cummins53BlockFAQ.htm

Most likely the clockspring or upper bearing?As for air bag just unhook both batteries and leave alone for at least 15 mintues before staring work this will allow the air bag system to discharge and make it safe to work on the steering wheel without having to worry about it discharging.

Come guy and gals show off your Cummins Swapped vehicles... I know there is a few of you out there that have shoe horned a Cummins in more than just a truck frame. Lets see it... Lots a of pictures wanted!

I agree with TH Racing... There will be no problems mechanical with installing... It will bolt right up. As for the ECM I would use your current ECM and just swap it to the new engine.

I'm just after the stock filter housing in the hose going to the VP44... 7 years and still going strong!But you 10 PSI at idle is seriously low and should be bumped up... Idle should be around 15-19 PSI... Wot should be 10-14 PSI...

He's right...

All right here... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/24-air-system/41-bhaf-big-honkin-air-filter

Well as for the noise its the slip joint in the shaft is going south. I managed to change the u-joints yesterday and made a few runs with the 4WD locked and it would only start howling about 55 MPH and above. But I got fresh tight U-joints now so I know its not that but the slip joint was just a tick loose. :rolleyes:Well since its a CAD system and I normally don't run 4WD I'll get some use from that shaft yet... Maybe get luck and find another shaft... Who knows...@ Russ as for the binding up that typical for both of the trucks... Usually I get them unbound by either feather out the throttle to get slack or roll forward and backwards a bit and it usually releases. As for release under load the 96 still makes quite a thump when the CAD releases...

Did you have 1, 3, and 4 loose when trying to start it?

Welcome to the family... Make yourself at home and ask lots of questions...

Don't worry... There is no way to pick up the gear enough to actually move it... Someone from over at CF did the testing and found out the only way you could actual do it is take the gear case cover off. Other than that you can't lift it high to clear the gear teeth...So slap the new pump in!

That's odd... ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) is what is used to cancel the high idle unless something else cancelled it like brake pedal, throttle, etc...As long as the Coolant temp is below 140*F it should resume the last mode of operation.

I think there is a few here... I just can't think of the name but there is a few women in the group...

Welcome to the family...

This is one of the few reasons I will not use a free email account. (Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, etc.) Like all my email accounts are either through my hosting provider (@mopar1973man.com) or through my internet provider (@frontiernet.net)... In either case I've got full spam blocking both incoming and outgoing... That's why with either account I'm not scared to post my email addresses publicly. mnelson@mopar1973man.com mopar1973man@frontiernet.net cloud10@frontiernet.net I do have a yahoo account but never use it but use it to submit email address for questionable registration or ???. Which I will not list because it will fill up with spam, junk mail, etc...
