MPG Report
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.

MPG Report
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!

MPG Report
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...

Gasser vs. Diesel
: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...

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

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

gauges work with 12 valve swap
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...

gauges work with 12 valve swap
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...

Safe fuel pressure
How about 3-10 PSI for a VE pump... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/1stgen/fuel-pressure/pressure.htm

good place to purchase?
As long as its in writing and clearly spelled out on what they cover... Side note do you know what the term "black water" stands for? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackwater_(waste)

Mopar1973Man Forum is now cell phone friendly!
I'm going to be passing the cell phone information to my calling crowd too... I've got several people with just cellpones and no home computer that will most like become a member now. --- Update to the previous post... More to come soon... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ngT6F-zqgI

gauges work with 12 valve swap
The part I'm not sure of is could a 12V PCM be used against the 24V electronics and still communicate? If so then it would be a matter of changing over to a PCM module as well... But as for wire color and what pin they go to the wiring diagrams would be a good source of information.As for keeping the orignal ECM you could but remember you'll always have error codes for all the missing electronic sensors which won't mean much. But as long as the gauge are hooked up and working I don't see why bother with converting to a PCM. :shrug:Thinking out loud...

Hello from CO
That is rather trick and clean looking with the blue LED's...

Gasser vs. Diesel
Geez... It still cheaper to drive my diesel... Thanx! Here is a profile of Idaho fuel prices over the years... I already knew that from all the math and fuel logging I did... But the simple way to look at it is Mom's 96 1/2 ton truck weighs about 5,500# and get about 12 MPG empty which give about 420 miles to the tank. Then compare the diesel at 20 MPG which gives 700 miles to a tank which is a huge difference.

gauges work with 12 valve swap
Well you in luck here is the wiring diagrams for both trucks... 1997 Dodge Cummins. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=129 Then the 2002 Dodge Cummins. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=128

Gasser vs. Diesel
Geez...ISX could you do that with Idaho fuel prices and repost... Diesel here is $3.419 and unleaded is $3.019 currently...

Off-Road Lights!?!?!?
Not to bad... The best way to do it is to pull the dash face and the take the headlight switch out of the dash... Then pull the a-pillar cover. Now you can route all the wires up to the a-pillar and the tuck them under the edge of the headliner... The little blank slug pops out I'll have to get pics in the morning on how to do it.

Mopar1973Man Forum is now cell phone friendly!
I got the mod added to the forum now so all you guys with Blackberries, iphones, etc can now surf the site with ease and good speed. I had CajFlynn test it out this evening and he said it worked excellent. So here is what you need to make it work for you... 1. Go to www.tapatalk.com and download the app for your phone. 2. Log back in to the forum and enjoy... The Tapatalk app signals the forum to display in a miniture format that is designed for phones and like CajFlynn said it good and fast now compared to the old system.

Resetting speedometer with Smarty?
Correct...1. Reset his truck to stock to release the VIN lock of the Smarty.2. Calibrate your speedometer.3. Reset his previous tune.As long as the Smarty has a recorded VIN number in the programmer (a loaded tune) it will not operate on any other truck till you reset back to stock.If it still doesn't work contact Bob Wagner...

gauges work with 12 valve swap
I would keep the 24V wiring knowing it works now. It just a matter of trading sensors from on engine to another... Problem is that the ECM got to stay with the 12V too... ECM Inputs •Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) Volts •APPS Idle Validation Switches #1 and #2 •Battery voltage •Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) •CCD bus (+) circuits •CCD bus (-) circuits •Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) •Data link connection for DRB scan tool •(FPCM) Fuel Injection Pump Control Module •Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor •Ground circuits •Intake manifold Air Temperature (IAT) sensor •Manifold Air Pressure Sensor (Boost Pressure Sensor) •Oil pressure sensor •PCM •Power Take Off (PTO) •Power ground •Sensor return •Signal ground •Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor Red is missing sensors for the 12V blue is the communication path for the gauges... Because the ECM recieves the information then sends it up the CCD network Bus to the guage cluster to be shown on the gauges... PCM is not use for gauges...

Resetting speedometer with Smarty?
Nope he has to reset to stock to be able to work on your truck...Once a vehicle is load with a tune then it VIN locked to that vehicle. So he has to reset to stock first then he can work on your truck set the speedo then it should return to his truck...

Parking Brake
W&F brought up the other point and he's right... There is a slack adjustment for the cable midway down the frame but becareful of how much slack you take up out of the cable. You only want to remove enough slack to return the pedal in the full up position. Like mine it was getting stretched out and the BRAKE light would remain on.
