Interesting idea...

Yeap I do... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/images/2ndgen24v/bhaf/BHAF_Template.doc

Just dampen with engine oil and they will never corrode or oxidize which happens to be the black coating you saw on the positive cable.

At least all the 2 1/2 ton military truck I've driven rthe wipers ran on compressed air.

I like the ideas of the guys to just create a extension cable to just plug into the bumper socket and route back for the slide in camper.

Gotta Love this group...

Sure sign of failed brushes an/or contacts...

DPF filter and regen mode...

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...

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.
