Most laptops fail from heat issues... Some are either not out fitted with the proper fans, get plugged up with dust, or the fan seize (bearings dry out). Now being that most laptops small opens for ventilation so it can be really hard to keep it cool. Dell's are the worse for fires... Another Dell smoked...

A way to validate post #11 is just look at the valvetrain when your doing your valve lash... First batch is done at TDC #1 (153) then your rotate the crank 360* and now your at TDC #6 (624)... Firing order 153624...

Sound like it got a pepsi wash... I'm going to say its done...

I would check memeory and see if the RAM is a issue... Bad stick of memory... While the memory is out try firing it up again and see if your audio beeping at you for a memory error that will at least tell you the pBIOS and CPU are functional to some extent...

Just did a trip down to Ontario, OR with my used and beat up RV275's and still pulled 21.3 MPG when I pull in the driveway listening to my random miss.

Well the Edge Comp are normally pretty cheap as a used box but you can build your level to suit your trans. Like 1x5, 2x4, 3x3, 4x2, 5x1... Very flexible power and still get to keep the 120 HP... As for the link that fine... I believe in link love to other sites...

Ummm... Vertical clearance? I guess I'll have to wait and see...

Hmmm... Your a bad influence... Well at this point and time I don't need it but I might take you up on the offer...

Ummm... I would just give Edge A quick call to find out... If not they would be able to issue you a new wiring harness so you could... Remember Edge will only go as far as the sensors... Like I know the MAP sensor is limited to about 38-40 PSI...

Actually I got a wild idea... Drill a hole in each side a insert a stiff piece of wire... Kind of like old wire clothes hangers would work good... Can even paint it black to look nice... I might have to do it to Mom's truck...

Pressure drop and why... Well its pretty simple when you take the fitting out there will be a spring sticking out. When you grab the spring and pul it out be aware if the check ball is stick in the coil of the spring. If so then that the problem. What happen is the check ball is pulsating against the spring and start to work into the coils of the spring. Once that happens the pressure starts to fall a bit. I suggested that AirDog need to create a collar washer that sits on top of the spring and keeps the check ball from wedging down in the coils but provides a solid seat for it. Kind of like the washers used in a Holley Double Pumper carbs... Yes the washer goes in the return side... Hose -> Fitting -> Washer -> Spring -> Check Ball | Pump body... (Stack in that order)

I tend to agree... I think the reason why the stop and go traffic is so hard on it is because there is little to no air movment... Kind of like riding my Goldwing in Boise, ID traffic. It would climb the temp gauge quick and high... But I added a toggle switch to force the fan on. Well that cured most of the problems with slow driving in towns... But for a Cummins since the fan is belt driven your going to need a electric fan like W&F mention...

Sloppy job expect ot get diesel all down your arm...

So if your getting a dead pedal and P0121, P0122, or P0123 codes then yeah the APPS sensor is failing... Time for replacement... Oh a suggestion... CAPS is a sign of yellin' some might take it the wrong way...

Those are awesome pics... Wow! Like everyone comment on the carved out exit... Wow! That just crazy... But neat!

Morning low of 53*F this morning... 76% humidity... Forecasted for rain...

Geez... ISX can you tell me what you really think about it?

Ummm... Randy was suppose to get a mass email out... But the new address is... www.tractorfarmandfamily.com

Finally... We hit 76*F out here... Actually can use the A/C in Riggins, with temp closer to 86*F...

Mopar Mom says... "Come out and tear ours out for us..."

That best part of the Cummins the entire engine remained simple is deisn till the 3rd Gen common rail and start really changing by the time 6.7L came out with all its EPA toyz and junk... Now if the big 3 would quit playing the HP/TQ game looking for every onuce of juice and go back to a smaller simplier more you'll be surpised to find that all the EGR and DPF are not needed... I love the older 12V engine because they need very little to even run. I love my 24V because of the VP44's abilities for dynamic timing and good MPG's. As for Fords engines... I got to admit they great work horses we've got a ambulance in town that is Ford powered and with dual turbos. Surprise to see that thing haulin' 3 EMT, 1 sheriff, 1 Patient, 1 driver and myself at over 65 MPH going up a 7% grade for 7 miles...

Nice truck! As for the cup holder that is interresting...

Like these??? http://www.thefind.com/cars/info-dodge-overhead-console
