Just called LarryB and got a set of contacts on the way!

Ah heck with it I pulled it tonight... Here is what I found so far...

Well... My starter is not hitting all the time anymore and I know the starter contacts are to blame. So I guess its time to make a order to LarryB and get a rebuild kit for the old starter... I'm going to pull the starter out tomorrow morning and pull it apart to inspect everything so while I'm at it I'm going to have the cameras handy and make a write up of it...

Welcome to the group Dwight...I'm A cummins owner but just a slightly older at 2002... But I'm sure there is plenty of knowledge here that will be able to help you weed out your problems.

There is a lot of variables in concerns to which is cheaper... That why you don't see gasoline power semi on the roads... But when you look at the life span of gasser vs diesel and then weigh in the fact yes the parts are more expensive on a diesel it all reality the diesel cost about the same maintenance wise.So it comes back to a personal peference of buy a diesel for your own reasons...

Valid point...

:banghead: Oh Chit... Man that will be hot as hell... I didn't see that on the first pass... Ummm.. what are you planning on doning? 150 HP injectors with a untapped 120 HP Edge Comp?

Sorry I can fix that... But I could suggest a better neighborhood? :shrug:Then I guess you stuck with a tailgate lock too...

Just use Polyon Air Line that stuff never breaks...

Shoot... I got a cheap fix for that... Just put a hose clamp around the pivot that has the slot in it. Then no one can lift the tailgate off without a screwdriver... (Poorman's protection)

Ummm... Tap that pump I bet you'll sing another tune quick... Yeah if I pull the pump lead I be lucky to pass 1,200*F

I wish... For me to romp into in I will see 1,400*F in the pyro... But still love the Cummins power...

Dang... He's back at it with his camera tearing apart his truck... :rolleyes:But it nice to know I got to fix Mom's 96 tailgate the latch is goofy and now I know what I need to rip it apart... :thumbup2:Thanks ISX...

That's interesting... I'll have to remember that next time I hear about a knocking / banging noise...

Hey guys... I know you wanted to see the SGII and how I mounted...

I think ISX has a point... Automatics with a Hy35 turbo has a 9cm2 exhaust housing and then the maunal trans truck have a HX35 with a 12cm2 exhaust housing so you could gain alittle from upgrading to a HX35 turbo.

I run all day long at 1,100*F and not even sweat it... 1,200*F is my breaking point... I tend to back out of that. As for short term stabs I've been clean up to 1,400*F but under 15-20 seconds... And hauling heavy still on 5x5... Idaho isn't for the weak and light hearted... Go big or go home!

Your going to think I'm nuts... My edge Comp never leaves 5x5... I drive by EGT's and keep the MPG's up... So if my weight of load is heavy I'm not driving fast by no means... 55 MPH typically loaded is my max speed. That will put my EGT's around 800-900*F... Because what I found that if you run say 5x3 or 3x3 or any level or sublevel below a 5 you now lose you MPG numbers... Main number is how much fuel and timing you get max. Then the sublevel is how fast you get to the max fuel and timing. So if you reduce either sublevel or main level your reducing your timing one way or another. The other factor is boost more boost means retarded timing and increased fuel so drive in a manner to reduce you boost as much as you can.

If you do the write up I'd post it up instantly...

:lmao:I think both the Chevy and the Dodge was busy doing a DPF cleaning and couldn't muster up the power when the injectors are busy dumping large amounts of fuel down the exhaust pipe.I hate to say it but I can pass a semi at a much faster pace than they can no less I can go much farther on a few gallons of fuel too...

That why I SET with my left thumb and tie the right one down... Must be a left handed thing...

Close the tool box man... I'm wanting one of those so bad...

That's why Dodge created cruise control it removes the lead brick boot from the pedal... MPG's should rise.

The 2001 and 2002 are fly by wire and dont use the vacuum motor for throttle control once again these are thing you'll have to consider. So if you kept your stock ECM and use you old sensors you get to keep all the other features...

PCM's are basically the same plugs it the pin assignment I would watch closely... Like ISX has a different controller for the Cruise control compared to the late 24V which is fly by wire no vacuum.I don't know if there was other differences to be aware of...
