Mopar1973Man

Well my first trip was suppose to be chasing @IBMobile, @IBMOBILE-JEN and @JAG1 down to Mono Village in CA for a camping trip but my luck was bad and broke the input shaft of my transmission and ended up staying here to work and my nest egg for that trip disappeared. So now try again in the spring ot see if I can get it together and do the meet and greet in Cally with those guys and then move on from there. Put of that is also getting my RV in good shape to travel too! Kind of like today I've got to hurry up and get a transmission done on a 2006 Dodge before tomorrow being the temp outside will fall to mere 0*F and I'm stuck working outside too. Ekkk! Then got a 2001 Dodge V10 needs a water pump. Oh fun!

Sorry to say but Blue Chip isn't a Bosch Certified rebuilder the last I checked being he selling VP44 with used PSG which is not allowed by any certified rebuilder they are suppose to core out the PSG of every unit according to Bosch standards. I stick with Bosch Certified rebuilders which typically have the highest standards being they are bench tested for over 3 hours per unit and the NEW PSG is flashed with all the calibration data after it passes all test. So the chances of a bad VP44 are extremely low. Again since BC is selling used PSG that means the flash is not done for calibration and the PSG is already weak from heat cycles and never been bench tested so it may fail shortly afterwards.

Seriously I've taken care my Mom @MoparMomover 16 years till she pasted in 2020. Now I no longer have restrictions of staying at home and do want to travel to see some of the rest of the United States too. I've got members I want to catch up with like @dripleywhich might come this way when he retires. Then there is @towhungerfordI want to meet down in Louisiana. There is several name I'd like to meet. I also had the idea of going state by state and calling out on here for each state and asking if people need help and working my way across the US by doing jobs for the members and getting to know then one at a time. Opytimally would be getting Thor (2006 Dodge) finalized and haul my RV from job to job and having my tools on the back and living out of my RV for a few months. Dumb idea but it might happen some day...

I've never been past the Mississippi River. Farthest east I was to my grand parents place (Minnesota) back when I was young like 6 or 7 years old. Then went back for a reunion for my Mom but that was in like the 90's and not be out that way again. I'm trying to slowly get ready for travel this year I really wanna bust out and hit some of the members of the website. I would love to see people gather together into group in there area and build clubs of sorts and help each other out and get together in times of repair and need and get help then too. We are all neighbor of sorts but with wider gap between us.

OEM or Cummins Brand doesn't promise that it will be a top quality hose either finding out that Cummins does not make a lot of parts but buy from other sources which might of changed several times since the production of our trucks back in the day.

2.7 acres worth of ground. I shot this photo from across the canyon 5 miles away. Big maple tree out back give lots of shade.

Visa Versa... I've got enough land to accommodate as well I'll have full hook ups (sewer, water and power) for an RV by this summer hopefully.

Permanently... Yes... But give me good reason to travle sure I'll hitch up my RV and go out to work. Time will tell. I wanna start in the northwest stopping and help members and grow outward if possible. I can always stop by @JAG1palce and hook up and stay with my RV.

I've been purchasing @dieselautopower injection pumps now for years and always had good results. There has only been 1 pump I can remember getting and had to send back because it was bad. Other than that Diesel Auto Power is selling Bosch Certified pumps.

That's what the idea was for the member map was to allow other members to come together and connect into groups of there own. Sad part where I live there is very few members around me. Now in Boise (and surrounding area) there is quite a few.

Looks like 5/8 inch heater hose. Now I would get a coolant pressure tester and hook up on a cold engine apply about 15 to 17 PSI of pressure and let it sit awhile. Now come back and check for the green puddle on the floor. Follow it back to the source. It could be hoses, head gasket, rotten cooler, or rotten steel pipe.

I won't sell a FASS again. After all the head aches with them. Filters being struck because hanging too low. Pumps freezing up because of limited mounting locations. I watch a truck I install a FASS on and my own truck both using the very same fuel from the same fuel station. Then parked in the same field over night. Mine fired up the FASS froze up and blew the fuse. Then fought with the FASS to get it pumping again in subzero really sucked. Because of the mounting location provided the pump motor had got some water down inside and then froze tight. Where being my AirDog is mounted behind the transfer case and stays drier. This can't be done with a FASS because they are physically TOO BIG! AirDog 100/150/165 all the way. After my last custom install I wish that AirDog would drop the quick connectors and go back to JIC fittings. Way better and easier to work with. Do way more with custom installs. I won't touch a AirDog Raptor Series they have crappy regulators and tend to stick. No filters and no return leg. These pumps are easy to cavitate (introduce air to the fuel). Being there is no return leg.

Yup I can concur... just because it's OEM Cummins does not make it quality. I just blew up two Cummins OEM head gaskets. Did my research and Cummins does not produce head gaskets but a company called BLK does. I've seen Cummins OEM thermostats fail as well and again not produced by Cummins (Holley / Mr. Gasket)

Yeah I made use of the icon feature and it shows the round red ban icon. Just a heads up all subscribers are in green and show the plan used.

Be aware this member is not a paid subscriber and can't respond. He cheated and posted his problem in the garage.

Metric system does have its bonuses 0 to freeze and 100 to boil. Versus 32 to freeze and 212 to boil. But both agree at -40.

Very true too.

I'll meet you at the -7°C which is 19°F which is common for morning temp in New Meadows ID.

Easiest method.

Still the other problems could exist yet wiring wise. The best to do is unplug the ECM and ohm test pin to pin for the ECM plug and MAP sensor.

P0237 is map sensor too low. Most likely shorted to ground, no +5V signal, bad map sensor, open sensor lead to ECM.

Funny, I've got lots of Dorman parts on my truck. No issues.

Umm not the same spot. The spot mine was parked is out back. It will have full hook ups this summer. Your spot is out front by the driveway and only has the electric rock 120V 15A plug.

That the entire trick right there the lower the EGT's remain while driving the least amount of fuel being burned also the least amount of drag. This equals efficiency! Now you have much more room for towing or climbing hills without EGT's being a factor. Just to show a difference like yesterday I had to haul my buddies Bobcat to Donnelly ID. I chose to use Thor the 2006 Dodge. Bad choice... Being its stock timed that means the EGT's are way higher which I ran 1,100 to 1,200*F the whole trip. Not much power either. Now if I taken Beast the 2002 with all the timing tweaks I've done plus final ratio I would of had way less problems. Like my last haul with Beast to AZ with the RV I was climbing grades 7% at 7,000 feet without EGT's still floating 1,000*F which was about the same weight as what Thor was towing. Proper timing and gearing makes all the difference in the world for working these trucks.

Only way to get back there is change all the gearing to 4.10. Then you can go with bigger tires but you'll still lose because 35 to 37 inch tires are going to be heavy. Rotational mass and then just getting the clearance right to keep from rubbing. This is why when I hunt for a street race I always look for the big 37 inch tires and take them on. I always win. I'm quicker and have the least amount of loss of power to the road. Bigger tires typically mean to me most amount of loss, typically to high geared (lower than 3.55 ratio), rotational mass is higher, and EGT's become a limit on the other driver. I can power right through. The ONLY thing big tires are good for is floating on mud or deep snow. That's it!
