Changing injectors is rather easy... [*]Remove the intake horn and grid heater [*]Remove APPS sensor [*]Cover the air tube and manifold with duct tape to prevent things/debris from falling in. [*]Remove the valve cover. [*]Loosen a injector line and using a small screwdriver carefully pry out the connector tube inside about 1/2". [*]Remove the 8mm bolt in the injector cover. [*]Remove injector cover. [*]Using a air horn bolt screw it in the center of the injector [*]Pull striaght up to remove the injector. [*]Re-assemble with new injector. [*]Do the other 5 cylinders.

Yes... There is a water seperator and 100 micron prefilter... New filter was installed less than 1,000 miles ago. That's my thought I think either the spring is allow the check ball to squeeze down in the coils again... Or the spring is simply getting tired...

Ok Gang...While I was out on my camping trip and hauling around my 31' Jayco Eagle Travel Trailer I had some weird fuel pressure problems occuring. Start up cold and get 17.5 just about 18 PSI at a idle and then pull the grade up to New Meadows, ID still holding 16 PSI which is normal and fine. But now as the day got hotter and we got down around Council, ID the pressure fell off to 12.5 at WOT and idled at 15 PSI. Hua??? While I was stopped the at one place I played with bumping the starter and you can see 17-18 PSI and then hear a change in pump pitch and the pressure fall again to 15 PSI. It's like the check ball is hanging up again. So I'm going to pull it back apart and double check again. So later on down the road I pick up fuel I figured I add a extra few ounce of 2 cycle oil than typical. Well the pressure went right back up to normal 17-18 PSI at idle and remain normal the rest of the day with no problems.(Enjoying our camping)Now hitched back up early morning and started my way back out of Lowman, ID and got good strong fuel pressure. But by the time I got to Banks, ID the fuel pressure was starting a to fall again. It went back down to the 12-15 PSI range again. On a few other stops I play again with bumping the start and sure enough yo can see 17 PSI for a burst of a second or two and then falls with change of pitch of the pump. I wondering if the fuel temperature is effecting the check ball and spring some how that its not working properly? Because with cold fuel its working fine but as a soon as the fuel warms up it sinks in pressure? :shrug:Yes... I got a fresh set of donaldson filters on my truck and no change with that...

Well my last order was to order some filter from Vulcan Performance. I got a BHAF and a few fuel filters for the AirDog. Eric being the nice guy asked me "How are my intercooler boots doing?" I told him there stock boots yet and no problems. He asked if I wanted to try a set of his VP "VulCan Performance" boots... I said why not...As for installing them. Not that is a good challenge... I used a good amount of WD40 and lubed them up to slide them over the fittings. So since they are thicker boots they don't flex like the old stockers. So you got to slide them over the far enough so you slide back over the mating fitting. Once again keep them lubed up so they slide for you... I'll get a few pics of on the truck posted up soon...

Heck now if some was giving away the cam I would be tickled... (Slap! I'm awake now!)

I'm running 2 cycle oil so I was too worried about the lubre part but knowing the overflow valve starts closing below 14 PSI and closed completely by 10 PSI I was getting a bit worried about temp. Now There was several grade where I was seeing 1100-1200*F pyrometer temps, Coolant up to 205*F, etc... So I know it was taking its far share of temp from the engine.I'm going to look into it today when I get a second...

Well I got back from a 300 mile trip over to Lowman, ID I was towing my Jayco (7,760#) I was on a narrow 2 lane road most of the way with speed limits averaging 55 MPH. I pulled 14.13 MPG using the pencil method.Weather: Hot, 95-100*F, 12-16% RHTruck: IAT Sensor Locked (143*F), Edge Comp (5x5), BHAF (w/ heat shield), 2 Cycle Oil (128:1), Stock Injectors

Thanks CajFlynn... Story below... My day was supposed to be over a little after noon today, but as I dropped off my last client, the office asked me if I could do one more run at 2 o’clock. Being the team player that I am, I said I would. I had 90 minutes to drive back to our company lot, switch into a van and then go to the pickup. Plenty of time to stop for some lunch and mess around on my phone. Peace of cake.After making the vehicle change, sucking down a burger and fries from BK, and washing it down with a Coke Zero, I proceeded to my pickup location, a full 40 minutes ahead of schedule. I am a happy chauffeur……….for the moment.I locate the residence that I need to be at, but being that the pickup is at 2, and it is only 1:20, I park a couple blocks away, per usual, and pickup my Thunderbolt to check FB and do some surfing.First check of FB is littered with numerous comments and links about the tragic plane crash in Russia. 40+ people dead. NHL players, past and present, coaches, prospects and flight crew. Very sad news. I had been reading and hearing about it, off and on, all day. The ramifications reaching virtually all parts of the hockey world, and in less than 5 minutes, ME.After my FB pitstop, I open up the trip ticket info on my phone, to see who I am picking up. Aaaah, another ________transfer to the airport. That explains the van. These hockey guys always have big bags because they are usually traveling overseas. The last name, ________. Never heard of him. No first name. I’ll have to google him. Google search: ______________.The rush that comes over my body is unexplainable. I am just staring at my phone. He was on “that” plane and he is dead. I am sitting 200 yards from his house and I realize what this pickup is all about. I am about to pick up the family of this man. A family that went to bed last night without a care in the world. A family that had no plans to board a Lufthansa flight to Europe when they woke up this morning. This explains why it was added to my schedule at 12:15 today. Is this for real?It’s finally time to go down the street and pull in the driveway. Within a couple of minutes, a man comes out to let me know that the family will be out in a few moments. He alerts me to the situation, and tells me not to offer condolences because the children don’t know, and then he returns to the house. I can’t even imagine what his widow must be going through. My heart weeps for her. I am so glad this will be a short ride.Then it happens. 2 girls, about 2 and 5 come running out the door, completely elated about the trip they are about to go on. Long blonde hair, blue eyes and giant smiles. I nearly burst into tears. My body gets tight. Every second feels like an eternity. The pain inside me is almost unbearable. I don’t even know these people and I am on the verge of a breakdown, right in their driveway. Knowing that these girls are utterly oblivious, to the true nature of their trip, is agonizing. I can’t help but think of my own children, and what it would be like if they woke up tomorrow and I was gone forever. Devastating! The wife and mother in law finally come out and we are on our way.The entire drive the widow is on the phone. She, as well as the rest of the family, are not speaking English. Although, this would seem trivial, it is not. I don’t understand a single word she is saying, but the pure pain in her voice tells the whole story. The mother in law is keeping the kids entertained in the back of the van, while she sits up front and seems to be getting everything in order, over the phone. I sense sorrow, trepidation, confusion, and dispair. Just a few of, what I imagine have been, the many emotions that she has experienced since she woke up today. Again, my heart weeps for her.We finally arrive at DFW airport, and a liaison from Lufthansa is waiting curbside for us, with a security escort. He “quietly” offers his condolences to the widow while the girls are still getting out of the van. Personnel grab all their bags, and they are off. Girls still giddy about the trip. I, however, am a mess.I barely get 100 feet away from the terminal when I lose it, crying uncontrollably. I feel stupid, but I don’t care. I can’t get the image of those girls out of my head. The idea that they have no clue that they will NEVER see their father again. What’s worse, is that they probably haven’t seen him in a couple of weeks, and expect to see him when they get where they’re going. Utterly heartbreaking. What a way to end the day.So, as I sit here recapping this gut-wrenching afternoon that I have experienced, I would like to end it with a final thought. It makes no difference to a child what happens to you when you die. They are going to be devastated either way. Just make sure they know what they mean to you. Remind them EVERYDAY. Hug them EVERYDAY. Kiss them EVERYDAY. Most importantly, love them EVERYDAY. Unconditionally. Because, you never know what tomorrow will bring.Truely Sad... Heartbreaking...

Good point...

Well I got to find a solution to it... It's getting rather annoying... Like as I was traveling in the heat of the day the fuel would get warm and the pressure would fall way off but as the fuel cooled in the evening pressure is back up. But if I played with it bumping the starter I would see a nice high pressure and change of tone and pressure would fall... :mad:So I know its this darn check ball and spring giving me hell and the pressure would drop as low as 12 PSI climing a 7% grade... Not like the Mopar1973Man to drive with lower fuel pressure... :duh:So of course if I figure out something I'll post it...

Just making the trip over to Lowman, ID (Kirkham Hotsprings) I got 14.13 MPG crossing the scales at 16,080# worth or load. Edge Comp on 5x5, IAT set to 143*F, and stock injectors (RV275 are out for repairs )...

Just truely sad to see this kind of damage going on... After been a fire fighter for over 6 years and been on several wildland fires I know what you mean.

Dang he pulled the post could you give a bit of detail?

Just Rolled 190K on the clock...

Just pulls out... (The filter minder) It might be that its been in the grommet for so long its wedged in the rubber so it might take a shot of WD40 to get it to slip out...

Something is a bit fishy... Take a ohm meter and check the IAT resistance against the table...[TABLE][TR][TD=width: 50%, bgcolor: #3870cc]Temperature[/TD][TD=width: 50%, bgcolor: #3870cc] Resistance[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=width: 50%] 13°F[/TD][TD=width: 50%] 56K ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD] 26°F[/TD][TD] 39K ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=width: 50%] 87ºF[/TD][TD=width: 50%] 7.4K ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=width: 50%] 91°F[/TD][TD=width: 50%] 6.8K ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=width: 50%] 100°F[/TD][TD=width: 50%] 5.6k ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=width: 50%] 107°F[/TD][TD=width: 50%] 4.7K ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=width: 50%] 112°F[/TD][TD=width: 50%] 4.3K ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=width: 50%] 119ºF[/TD][TD=width: 50%] 3.6K ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=width: 50%] 123ºF[/TD][TD=width: 50%] 3.3K ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=width: 50%] 127ºF[/TD][TD=width: 50%] 3.0K ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD=width: 50%] 132ºF[/TD][TD=width: 50%] 2.7k ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD] 143°F[/TD][TD] 2.2k ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD] 148°F[/TD][TD] 2.0k ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD] 163°F[/TD][TD] 1.5k ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD] 173°F[/TD][TD] 1.2k ohms[/TD][/TR][TR][TD] 184°F[/TD][TD] 1.0k ohms[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]

Shoot I was shocked after taking my trip with the RV. I even weighed the setup...Truck Front - 4040#Truck Rear -- 4280#RV ----------- 7760#Total ------- 16080#When I did my MPG hand calc'ed... 14.13 MPG...

Not bad... Just about like my JVC Everio camera... I know mine get a bit grain because the sole fact I process down for a smaller upload size. (1/3 Mbit up sucks )But I see I'm starting a trend of sharing travels on the Cummins... Right on! I love the green country side...

Well gang... Just like the title says I ran away from home and got into hot water... Hot spring that is. I took a short trip and spend the night over at Kirkham Hotsprings in southern Idaho. http://www.idahohotsprings.com/destinations/kirkham/ Here is camp... So now wonder down the trail to the hotsprings... Look at the pretty blue waters of Idaho... Just below is the falls where you enjoy the hot water... But I started wondering how hot the water was right out of the ground... Just a bit to hot to play with! So we enjoyed the hotsprings and desided to look at another spot... So MoparMom and Diesel played in the river. So we got tired and came back to camp and enjoyed the sunset with the smoke in the air from a local forest fire...

The best I can do for you is the 2002 wiring diagram I got... Crud its not there give me a bit I'll place it up for ya...

Wow! That is one angry fire...:stuned:For all you in Texas becareful. We'll continue to say prayers here...

You know "MoparMom" is the prayer warrior... We'll send our prayers too...

Well I even went the extra step and created account over there...

Opps... That's not like you AH64ID...
