Your welcome... Sorry I couldn't fix the problem but at least I could provide you a meal and place to hang out till you buddy showed up with your truck... Ma had to kick her to the pile... As for your truck I love to hear what you find for solution...

Try looking at manufactures... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/manufacture/manufacture.htm Then check out the vendors... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/dealers/dealers.htm

Welcome to the site... Grab a beverage and start reading and posting questions... No one here bites...

Check for error codes if you can... Check the batteries condition (load test if you can)... Check main battery cable for voltage drop test... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/general/voltage-drop/voltage-drop.htm If it runs check the charging ability (alternator fuse, charging voltage, etc)

Nope...

Really? That's news to me...

One of these day I might lose my stock batteries in my truck I'm closing in on 10 years of service...

Here you go a peek from USFS Maps for Texas...

Yeah I know what its like to see the emptiness left by a fire and how long it takes for the land to heal itsself.I heart goes out ot all of ya...

Here is a few vendors to look at... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/dealers/dealers.htm

Sounds like we all grew up in the right type of families...

Welcome to the site... Sorry to hear about your problems. :duh:But as for the VP44 as long as VP44 is the same (SO VP44 installing to SO Engine) there should be no problems. It should work. Just make sure to keep the key match with its pump. But if the 01 happens to be a 6 speed then you need a HO VP44 pump.

:lmao2:I know that so well...

Truely sad to see that...

The only thing is the Cummins Stat are really expensive and still have the wild swing problem too.

I would look at function and mileage... Function would include carrying capacity, comfort, etc. As for the mileage I would choose the lower miled rig because even though it had AMSOil in everything there is still a lot of things that don't see regular lube or maintenance hence why I would take lower miled rig.

Not I... I've got long hair and use a hair band I don't believe in hairspray...

Thermostat doesn't get full open till like 208-210*F... AH64ID is right they need to be worked...

Here is the local river...

Not bad... Some of those I've been too... But as for camping I'm just getting started.Smokey Boulder RoadKirkham HotspringsGot get out and do some more...

VP44 is very simular in timing table...

Well that's what the Jayco Travel Trailer and the 8x8 Utility Trailer are for too.. Load... But even then there is very little change from the normal. Even with my last trip I scaled the truck and trailer GCW 16,080# and pulled 14.13 MPG hand calc'd. But that was with my stock injectors but still using the IAT fooler locked at 143*F. No kidding I know I'm not going to be able to lock down the timing to a single place. Because I know there is load, boost, manifold temp, fuel temp, engine coolant temp, and throttle position that play a role in how the timing curve is created by the ECM then the Edge Comp will modify it again. But like Quadzilla told me that the idea of locking the IAT down to a signle spot is a good thing then on top the warm temp will retard the timing but since the ECM & VP44 are talking the Edge Comp can bump the timing up even quicker. But there is only so quick the timing can forced because if it forced too early the VP44 can and will shut it down. (Timing). As for the emissions part that always the main reason of the stock tune. Cleanest burn reduces NOX oxides of nitrogen. Because if it was all about performance then timing curve would already be bumped. But lets say the 60% of the stock tune is emmisions and the other 40% is performance.

I'm currently setup with rheostat next to my transfer case lever and I can adjust IAT temps while on the fly. As for changes there don't seem to be any huge changes in EGT's or boost... I'm not saying there isn't any change at all but it most likely very slight changes. My 55 MPH mark seem to stay fairly constant 2-3 PSI of boost and 550-600*F EGT's. But what does change is the MPG's warmer the temp the better the MPG number. Which follows the Autoignition Temperature Also under normal engine configuration and 40 cetane diesel fuel it takes roughly 13* of crank travel before diesel ignites normally hence why the initial timing typically is right around 12-13* BTDC But the tabling for the dynamic timing was designed more so around the emission controls more so than driviblity/performance. Why else did all the proformance boxes (Edge, Quadzilla, etc) come out with with more aggressive timing curves? (Gotcha!)

Go anyway where in Idaho there is water flowing. Most of the highways follow a river or stream of some sort. Even AH64ID can tell you that... Just across the highway from me is the Little Salmon River. I'll admit the water flow is down everywhere but there is always water flowing Idaho.
