Check the vacuum pump first... Then if that's fine then check the compression to see if you possibly have ring and piston damage... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=144:compression-testing&catid=34&Itemid=115

Yeah it fine with me too even up here with temps around 0*F and you hit freezing fog it nice to keep the mirror clean. Also nice they shut off after a period of time. Truthfully I rarely use mine but its super nice for those cold arse mornings when the mirrors are all frosted...

Plugged up heater core? Vacuum problems? Some vehicles operated the heater valve (coolant control) with vacuum so check to be sure the vacuum line are good.

I woke up to a white yard we got a touch of snow (dusting) but it only 15*F above zero and the house is cold as hell as I type this... Brrr... Drinking coffee and got both the fireplace lit and the wood stove... Hmmm... What's New Meadows, ID like right now?!?! Brrrr... Merry Christmas all...

Touche' Good one Dripley... I didn't catch that he's right the Fass DDRP might be a bit marginal for that setup... Fuel pressure gauge is first priority...

Consider your size a bit closer... 100HP injectors are going to be a bit tougher to get MPG's from than the RV275 or +50HP injectors... But yes DAP is a get man to deal with for parts!

No there is no correlation between a bad lift pump and a map failure... You run through the diagnostic... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=167:p0237-map-sensor-voltage-too-low&catid=59&Itemid=107

Either barrow a Smarty programmer or take a trip to the dealer is your 2 choices...

Prowelder is producing the high idle kit for the site so give him a shout and tlak ot him I'm sure he'll build you one!

That's the problem its missing in the 96... Every time I fire it up I'm stomping the floor looking for a clutch pedal only to find the brake. Then constantly grabing for the mystery stick that's not there. Then letting off the throttle looking for exhaust brake and it not there... Then I'm too chicken to pass anyone with the 96 it just doesn't have the balls...

Well study up the video and get busy...

Here in Idaho on road diesel and off road diesel come from the same tap... Ones got dye and the other doesn't... But like some make people that are trying to cheat I got a buddy in New Meadows, ID (Relentless70) that has be trying to use heating oil in his truck and he's filtering it down through 2 filter before pouring in the tank but now the engine fuel filter is still plugging up premature on him... :doh:Another guy I know in LA state he's been using off road diesel now for years but already been through a VP44, few lift pumps, and many fuel filters. Everytime he using the off road fuel it just plugs up his airdog filters but once again he's using a goldenrod filter on the drag tank so it filter before putting into the fuel tank but still the issue...

No... That's why I did the handy work on the 1996 Dodge 1500 and now use that for my daily driver. Then I'm only paying 3.389 a gallon for gasoline. I save the diesel for the big and heavy hauling like the RV or firewooding. The little 96 Dodge only has 146K on the clock so time to use it... Can't complain...

D'Oh!

Ok lets hear your answer...

I could but typically diesel has always been right close to the price of gasoline or just below it at times. This is the biggest jump I've seen period... :wow:Even back in 2007 when diesel here was $4.999 gasoline was right there too at 4.899... But now for diesel to go to a spread of +80 or +90 cents above gasoline that plum crazy... Not to mention I've not seen below $4.00 a gallon since Novemeber 2010...

Now you know why I'm the MPG king when it comes to these 2 trucks... I can't afford to drive anywhere most times because the price of fuel. Heck just to grocery shop for the basic eggs, bread, milk, etc... It 35 miles 1 one way to McCall, ID just for basics...

This is what happens when you travel 180 miles to go shopping... McCall, ID Now Payette, ID (near Ontario, OR) Like local here a 4 pin twist lock plug is $39 bucks... Head down to Ontario, OR and hit Home Depot and get the same plug for $15 bucks... Locally a gallon of antifreeze is like $15 bucks or go down to WalMart in Ontario, OR and get it for $8 bucks a gallon. MoparMom and I are really getting tired of the price gouging locally...

MoparMom stubbled across this little tidbit and had me watch this video I was shocked so I had to share it with you all. http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/exhibit/video/5-minutes-wunderland/ http-~~-//youtu.be/ACkmg3Y64_s

Now that I seen the a/C line you'll have to dump the freon out of the system. (Sorry to say). Then once those lines are pulled you can pull the HVAC box out from under the dash and kind of roll it out from under the dash with a sliding motion.Be kind of like this...

I don't think so... You'd be surprised how tight the bolts are typically in a VP44...

Yeah... 4 wheel Antilock brakes have 2 front axle sensors and 1 rear axle sensor... So if you got the light out now you doing good... Now deal with your vibration problem... U Joints?Carrier Bearing?Out of balanced driveshaft(s)?Out of balanced tires?

Fleetgaurd Oil and fuel filters... Then now switching over to Donaldson Fuel filters on the AirDog 150 now...The fact NAPA doesn't list there filter spec a little clearer than they do is why I tend to back away... I know there is tons of farmers and rancher that use tha filter all the time but in the same token how many come running back with VP44 issues? Good question...
