Just take the lead brick out of your boot and use common sense when throttling. Keep an eye on your trans temps and once again use common sense.

I hate to say it but they use a lot of salt and mag-cloride out here too... The funny part is the body and under side of my truck is A1 perfect yet... Why? Because even in the winter time I wash the truck and I don't just wash the paint. I wash the underside out with plenty of clear water. I wash out all the road mud and dirt...But like I've been taugh... When you go buy a vehicle bring your overalls and lay on your back and look up. The interior and under the hood will look good but lay on your back and look up... Whole new story...

Sad to say most people will run from that engine being a 53 block...

The only time I seen a huge problem with keeping tire balanced is the larger tire like 265's and above. even my Cooper 265's have huge amount of lead on them just to keep them true. There is better than 1-2 oz on each rim. But my 235's I'm still running I've got 3 rims completely true without and lead! Also they are just cheap Big O AT's tires... I would love to see your results and findings...

Would you being willing to create a thread in the non-powertrain and document the bulb numbers and where you go the bulbs at... Please... It would be a wonder addition to the site...

There is nothing near me... Really... Napa is 52 miles 1 way... Nearest Home Depot is ~180 miles 1 way... Closest town to me with a population of about 300 people has a gas station, post office, grocery store, and 3 bars... Even Harbor Frieght is the same distance as HomeDepot... Everything is in Boise, ID... Just to give you a feel... Watch the vids... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPV0cnu7kdc and

As far as I understand the 4WD can be adjusted for caster and toe... The only way I know to change camber is to buy offset upper ball joints...

:banghead:I should really do this with all my air tools... It a good idea and I should of paid more attention to detail in the early years and I wouldn't be trapped with the restrictive air fittings today...

Ok... First off I let you know that Prowelder has his own group listed here... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/group.php?groupid=6 As for your problems... It sounds like you got a few things hooked up wrong... Take the plug on the ECM side of both the coolant and the intake air temp leads and then take a digital voltmeter and measure the ohms on the ECM plug. Then toggle the switch the line should go open (inifinite ohms). ECT lead should show at the ECM 3.3K ohms and open. IAT lead should show at the ECM 39K ohm or 56K ohms and open. Then change up your diagnostics... Take both ends sensor and ECM ends and probe both pins one on each side. On the OPEN position of the switch in the previous test both ends should be a direct short or 0 Ohms. Check to see if you got the plug end on the right leads...

Ummm... Be my guest... I all I did was get lucky on my mounting... Behind the bezel is a signal screw for the pouch below and basically bent a L bracket and drilled a hole. My problem was my hole was a bit off and required tweaking to get the SG to sit tight. You don't want to see the other side of that braket... It a road sign still with its reflective markings...

That's weird... way back when I bought mine I had a few problems software wise but in the mean time I had a conversation with on of the tech long ago. What he told me was on the Edge Comp if you unhook the tap wire it reverts to level 1. So no matter what level you set it to it was still level 1. The sub level continued to work the same though.1. 402. 603. 804. 1005. 120So untapped accord to what i was told would be 40 HP. But I look at it this way... This is all second hand information and nothing in writing from Edge Products so I'm willing to admit maybe my information could be wrong... :shrug:What I can tell you without thinking... Is the best MPG's are found on 5x5 and WITH the wire tap. It all up to you and your foot..I just pulled a beautiful 23.6 MPG today...

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...
