How about adding some pictures of this beast to the thread... I'm curious of what its... Maybe its time to update your vehicle articles...

Like myself I've got a stock fuel heater with my AirDog 150 as well hooked up and even then it takes several miles like 50-60 miles to warm up that full tank of fuel from near 0*F temps. You got to remember the fuel leaving the engine and VP44 might be warm but by the time it flows back to the fuel tank through the steel return line it will be much cooler.But fuel temperature problem would be visable on the fuel pressure gauge with a serious drop lower than typical like me I lose about 3 PSI from typical with temps as low as 0*F. I don't use any fuel anti-gel either.I'm thinking its a fuel system related problem for sure but what I'm not exactly sure yet...

As far as the return line I would still call Eric at Vulcan Performance and talk to him about the issue and he might just come up with a custom kit to meet your requirements of the rotten fuel lines... Eric a good guy to know when it comes to plumbing on the Dodge Cummins trucks!

P7100 is better for power and longevity... But it will cost you dearly to convert to it. There is a minor down side of the static timing in other words timing is fixed compared to VP44 with dynamic timing that varies with weather and road conditions. (I know I'll hear from ISX on this )You also got to remember all the little thing too like throttle linkage is not part of the kit. Also your injectors have to be re-popped to match the pressures of a P7100 which is lower if I'm not mistaken. Change the cam or pull rthe cam to change the gear case plus consider installing the mechanic lift pump or going with a AirDog for P7100. Lots and lots of things to spend money on and so much work has to go into conversion...I still say VP44 is still worth it.

Measure the pintles and the bore and be sure they are fitting properly... Like mine where gummed up with coked fuel and the pintle needles where about 1/2 thousandth tight. After cleaning then they fit good and smooth again.Might also look into your fuel filter and the media your using I aim for a 2-3 micron filter. Using either a Fleetguard or a Donaldson filter.

Just be easier to convert over to a Big Line Kit and be done with it... Vulcan Performance sells the kits and they are rather good price for excellent quality! http://www.vulcanperformance.com/Draw-Straw-II-1-2-in-draw-tube-and-1-2-in-pushlo-p/prs.htm

Dang good deal...

Dirt and debris... Same thing that was wrong with my RV275 I got from CajFlynn they seen over 400K miles of roads. But they just didn't work to good for me. I took them apart and clean them up and everything works good now... Injector Cleaning

P-pump conversion will cost you upwards of $3,500 to $4,000 said and done...I second the motion for the stock VP44... :smart:What you spend in conversion I can have enough VP44's to make a million miles nearly...

ISX did the tesing a while back and adjusted his valves for max gap and it still ran just fine just doggy. So I'm going to agree with him it either injectors or timing...

A way to find out is measure the amount of torque required to turn the axle with and without the front shaft in.

Less rotational mass... :smart:On our truck the front axles are soid so the axles and the driveshaft spin all the time so if you pull the driveshaft off then you reduced the rotational mass on the front axle (in theory).

Well I would still consider the pop testing of the injectors.

I heard that too but the results are mixed some say it works fine and other say it doesn't. Years ago I was saying the same then that I got slapped down for it... So I tend to say "Put back the right part if you want it to run right!"

Not very reassuring...

Shouldn't hurt it but it will most likely not work right because the VIN numbers won't match... Dodge insures that all computers and software are right and proper by using VIN number locking schemes. So if the VIN number doesn't match it might not work...

Congrads on the jeep... Now you'll have no excuse not to fix up the Cummins better...

Well you going to have to check for error codes ot see what is going on first thing...Also make sure you batteries are in a good state of charge before testing anything.

Thats a sleeve style regulator...What you have to be sure of that its not binding up.

Well for a p-pumped engine you really only need a boost and pyrometer but it nice to see fuel pressure then you know you fuel status gelling, plugged filter, lift pump failed, overflow valve failed, etc.

Also relize that Windows XP was obsolete after 2009. Microsoft EOL (End Of Life) is about 5-7 year and Windows XP being the longest living software. http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-us&c2=1173&x=10&y=13

Throw some pictures up so we all can take a peek a second maybe give you an idea...

So I guess I'm exception to the rule again...

Not that I know of...
