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...

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

They do have center console pods that mount just above the mirror...

Yeah i knew Ol' JL Weldind would repond as such... Some have relly good luck and other well have seen the dirty end on the stick on too many times... I was talking to gent last night and found out he traded in a 2002 Dodge truck not to long ago that had over 500K miles with the orignal fuel system, lift pump, plumbing, and VP44 never did anything to it... (Really rare!)

Yeah I might end up buying one just to do mine... http://quad4x4.com/Ball%20Joint%20Tools%20for%204x4's.htm It would be a full days worth of driving just to barrow a tool... 3 hours down and 3 hours back for Autozone...

Yea... I see there is some common solutions that do fix the the lock/unlock problems...

So you got to drive around with the lid open on the center console all the time???

Mine were hand me down's but I love the RV275's because they are mild for power but sure do increase the MPG's really good...

Well... It finally broke over 70*F today... Windy... And I'm white as a ghost...

Looks like is going to the write up stage too.. Thanks for the wonderful write up...

Just for fun... I shut of my Edge comp and dropped the hammer on the throttle and ran up to about 80 MPH and still was able to touch 25 PSI without the Edge Comp... (Cheatin slightly with RV275 injectors)

You got to post pics... Sector adjustment on top of the gear box. Loosen the nut and tighten the center allen stud. Do this in 1/8 turns and retry. Don't force the screw or over do the adjust or it might cause damage to the gear box...

No not our place... Ours is better... We got trees lots of trees!

I wish they would but the harsh restrictions on the Mexico border and lighten the Canadian border like Mexico border is now... It would be so much nicer...
