As for the old caliper you can service them out completely and fix the hang up you got right now. http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/general/brakes/brakes.htm Just disassemble the calipers using compressed air to push the pucks out. Just remember to protect the pucks with a piece of wood like a 2x4. Also keep your fingers away from them (crushing hazard). Then remove all seals and wash the entire caliper with soap and water and blow dry with compressed air. Now check your pucks without the seals. The pucks should drop to the bottom of the bores without being pushed. If not then using fine grade sandpaper lightly sand each puck till it fits the bores. You'll find there is a light film of dried brake fluid that causes this problem. Once you done re-assemble the caliper and re-mount on the truck. Bleed the system...Any unusual smoke? Any Gauges? Any error codes?I'm curious how it all turns out...Ummm... If I'm not missing something but AirDog is a lifetime warranty...Why not give good old Pureflow a call and see what they say...Hydraulics bleeding down dragging the clutch... Bad pilot bearing and dragging the input shaft...Ha Got you beat... High School - Monroe High - over 1,000 worth of Seniors... Classrooms are at least 100 people if not more... Some of the building are 2 story... Then the area I lived in... What is knows as the Valley... Near LA.... Now you know where I can from to where I'm now living... In the middle of Nowhere Idaho...RV275 (+40 HP) are good for a mild gain without a bunch of excessive smoke and will gain slightly on the MPG's... (1-2). Going above 75 HP injector tends to get rather smokey and lose of MPG's. Not exactly a streetable. As for rebuilding it basically replacing the pintle and nozzle then re-pop testing the injector...Hmmm... Interesting... Make sense though when you think about it... ABS module senses the wheel speed from the rear axle and at speeds below say 20-25 MPH its in torque management so it will accelerate slower. So if the ABS module was bad then the ECM would run in torque management mode all the time... (Thinking out loud) But this is the first time I've heard of this...Beatuiful moths... If I'm not mistaken the 2nd one is a hummingbird moth... Use to see them around the old Steelhead Inn when I managed it...No Bus on the odometer is refering to the CCD Network bus to the gauge cluster...I grew up in Mission Hills, Ca... Which is only a short drive from Los Angeles...Now imagnie over 500,000 people in a 5 mile square... Picture above is a population of about 400 people... Trust me I'd rather grow up in Idaho than California...Ummm... But the sad truth is Riggins, ID is a desert... With summer temps as high as 120*F... Here is Riggins, ID exactly 1 mile long and 1/4 mile wide...Ummm... No...:lmao:Oh... That's just plain wrong...Well I guess you need a VP44...Yeah I know... Seriously I do the same thing come summer time with firewood ($150 a cord - ChaChing!) (Cummins Skidder... )+1 (Showing support for the effort!)And you need a Cummins?? Heck I plow that much with my neighbors ATV...Here is a bit more on the subject... http://www.docstoc.com/docs/56990019/Diesel-Combustion-System-With-Re-entrant-Piston-Bowl---Patent-7431012#viewer-areaHook up with ISX he's created a boost regulator that actually works rather well for his 12V 97...Wild & Free is right... I would jump on one of those if I could buy one...Yea... So true... There is a guy in Boise, ID that I went down to see person and he's got a 05 Dodge 3500 CR Cummins it still runs but you can hear at startup how weak the compression is. Once it running it got so much blowby that if you unscrew the cap it will shoot it up of your hand at least a foot into the air. You actually hear a POP when it happens... CR Engine are famous for the injector failures... Just like 24V's are famous for VP44 failures... The only difference is when a CR goes down it can take the pistons and the block with it.Thinking back on this again... Q: Could you get a picture of the switch? Q: Where did you buy the switch at? (Link to web site please) I love the design idea and would like to get more information on this change so I can included it in the write up of the site so others can have the option too.
