flash chat
Sorry... Maybe you need a better phone... Also I would like to hire someone will to manage the chat room... Who wants the job of scheduling the chatroom, babysitting the chatroom so there is someone in the room during the times of schedule. Anyone willing to take the job... Might even throw in Moderator status of a forum just for the Flash chat...

basic compact printer suggestions.
Well I'm running a Cannon Super G3 Imageclass MF4150. Not exactly compact but prints a lot of page before the toner cartridge dies. But the toner is $120 bucks but it last at least 1 year for me...

Excessive oil leak coming from behind plastic cover behind ECM
I know its not fun and its rather long but a easy job to do...

Just like ISX he's posted may times of 27 MPG... Real deal...

Ok... We all have off days...Worse yet its in the Common Rail froum so your still right...I guess we need the OP to fill out his signature so we both stop guessing at it...

raptor lift pump
Ugh... :banghead: I've never been in favor of directly hooking any pump to the ECM that means of the pump motor is damaged and drawing heavy amps then the ECM takes the hit directly which might of already happened. So if it was me I would give Vulcan Performance a call and talk to Eric and see if he can set you up with a wiring kit that has a relay to it. I'm not sure if such thing exist but its got to be better than direct hooking pumps to the ECM. At least this way the ECM protected from heavy amp draw...

Map light fix?
Welcome to the family. As for the roof clearance lights I would careful remove each one and re-seal them with silicone. Then I would consider carefully romoving the console and double checking all the wiring to the bulbs and switches for corrded/rusted connections. The over headlighting has a constant +12V so all thats needed is the ground. So if there has be water getting in it might have a partial ground causing the glow.Pink wire should be +12V and the yellow wire is the ground trigger back to the headlight switch or door pins switches... (Pretty sure of my colors from memory... )

I didn't know that... :banghead: I guess your going to have to help him... Ok looking towards the 2003 factory service manual to try and fill in again... I don't know if both systems are the same. OPERATION The electronic gear selector indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the transmission gear that has been selected with the automatic transmission gear selector lever. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming. The cluster circuitry automatically configures itself for the proper transmission and automatic transmission model based upon the hard wired transmission range sensor mux circuit input to the cluster. The gear selector indicator information is displayed by a dedicated Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board, and the VFD will not display the gear selector indicator information after the ignition switch is turned to the Off position. The instrument cluster circuitry configures the gear selector indicator VFD based upon the following inputs from the transmission range sensor: Open Circuit - If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission and the transmission range sensor mux circuit is open, the cluster circuitry controls the gear selector indicator display based upon electronic messages received from the electronic Transmission Control Module (TCM) over the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. If the transmission range sensor mux circuit is open and no electronic messages are received from the TCM within two seconds, the instrument cluster circuitry will not display any gear selector position until the condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first. Resolved Circuit - If the transmission range sensor mux circuit is resolved, the cluster circuitry controls the gear selector indicator display based upon the resistance value of the hard wired input from the transmission range sensor. If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission with a transmission range sensor input and detects a short to ground or an open in the transmission range sensor mux input, the instrument cluster circuitry will not display any gear selector position in the VFD. The VFD display for the short-to-ground and open circuit conditions will continue until the condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first. Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the gear selector indicator VFD will display all of its characters at once during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the cluster control circuitry. On models with a TCM, the TCM continually monitors the transmission range sensor, then sends the proper gear selector indicator position messages to the instrument cluster. On models without a TCM, the instrument cluster continually monitors the hard wired transmission range sensor multiplexed input. For further diagnosis of the gear selector indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls this function, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For further diagnosis of the transmission range sensor on models without a TCM, (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/ TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RE/TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING) or (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/ TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 46RE/TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). On models with a TCM, for proper diagnosis of the transmission range sensor, the TCM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic message inputs to the instrument cluster that control the gear selector indicator, a DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

None... Other that you got more strung around the engine than I do...

raptor lift pump
Raptor pump should have its own relay and power supply triggered by the ECM...Raptor should never be wired directly to the ECM...

OD and Tow/haul
Even when I'm hitched up to the Jayco I don't allow any gear to pulled down below 1,500 on the tach. I will always gear down and grab a gear lower. Same practice should be used on a automatic trans too.

I used to know which CTD oil..... till it all changed changed
Any oil that is CI-4 or CJ-4 rated is what you need for your Cummins.For most vehicles in the main 48 states can run 15w-40...Beyond that its just a name on a bottle...

Welcome to the family Robbie.. But I'm not exactly clear on what going on here... The indicator on the dash is just a cable driven pointer. GEAR SELECTOR INDICATOR OPERATION The mechanical gear selector indicator gives an indication of the transmission gear that has been selected with the automatic transmission gear selector lever. A red pointer appears in a window below the character in the indicator representing the transmission gear that has been selected. The small, spring-loaded pointer moves on a track through a trolley-like mechanism within the indicator housing. A short length of small diameter stranded cable is attached to one side of the pointer trolley and is encased in a tubular plastic housing that exits the right side of the indicator. The cable is routed through the instrument panel and under the steering column to the left side of the column. The looped end of the cable is hooked over the end of the PRNDL driver lever on the steering column gearshift mechanism, and the cable housing is secured in a molded plastic adjuster and bracket on the column housing. When the gear selector lever is moved the PRNDL driver lever moves, which moves the pointer through the mechanical actuator cable. The cable adjuster and bracket unit mounted on the steering column housing provides a mechanical means of calibrating the gear selector indicator mechanism.

2 cycle oil
Close enough...

Diesel fuel...
Basically where it went to was that the contact information I was given was a email address for Chevron. Which in turn pointed me back to there spec sheet on the web site. :rolleyes:I guess if we want more information about diesel fuels we are going to need a inside man with one of the companies.

Overhead computers are not accurate... :duh:What was you hand math?Or if you want closer to accurate MPG numbers use a ScanGauge II...

No... Just pop the seal on and tighten up...

Better to idle or better to drive on a cold engine
Like the fact the cetane is a huge facotr in that... Dark green - summer fuels Light green - winter fuels This why I keep telling people don't use a anti-gel or cetane boost unless you really need too. Because in both cases all it does is reduced the power output (BTU's) and reduce MPG's
