Another great aid is using a ScanGauge II because you can see instant MPG numbers on the fly and actuall aim for you MPG number you want! :eek: Here my truck back from Missoula MT... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/picture.php?albumid=3&pictureid=82 Oh heck... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq0XG5qRLsM Post up your questions I'm sure everyone here would love to jump in and toss 2 cents worth of information to your cause! :biggrin: The only way your going to learn is to ask a bunch of question which is a good thing! :thumbsup:

Ummmm... I don't think so... :confused: I know a NV4500 will go on a 1st Gen... The floor will need to be re cut too NV4500 stick comes up a bit farther back from the GetRag 5 speed. Talk to Taz he's got a NV4500 adapted into his truck... He might get you some pics of it...

Gauge is the first thing... (Fuel Pressure, Pyrometer, boost, trans temp (if auto)) BHAF or similuar air filter setup. 4" exhaust or Straight piped 3" exhaust. Fuel system upgrade (AirDog, Raptor, or FASS) - NO FASS DDRP's! Now if you go for Edge Comp like myself your going to need gauge as listed above. But the Edge Comp is a very simple box and works great! But then there is the Edge Juice... Now thing get a bit more complex. Edge Juice has the same software as the Edge Comp but comes with gauges (fuel pressure, pyro, boost, etc). also comes with de-fueling limits, turbo cooldown timer and many more options.

Here you go guys the famous "Trunk Monkey" commericals... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8avOiTUcD4Y]YouTube- Trunk Monkey Compilation[/ame]

Because they never done it before and never been train how to do the high idle flash... what funny there isn't much to do...

Well I was digging around the internet and doing somestudy work and ran across a article about the new emissions fo diesels in the coming future... http://www.osti.gov/bridge/servlets/purl/827849-VQhQPm/native/827849.pdf Then... http://www.heavydutytrucking.com/2005/05/044a0505.asp I'm glad I got a 2002 Dodge...

This is why I normally tell everyone to print the TSB off my web site and take it to the dealer with them for some reason most dealers are book smart to common problems but the odd ball stuff still throws them... As a matter of fact my dealer wouldn't do the flash for high idle for me...:eek: TSB for ya... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/high-idle/tsb18-019-01.htm

Dorkweed has been chasing my MPG mark for awhile now and doing quite good hitting 19-20 or so most of the time... I remember back when he started with a Edge Juice and switch to the Smarty...

Ohhhhh.... Friday is coming... Oh my... Injector seal will be here.... Just can't wait...:ahh:

I would say there need to be new testing done on this but its not cheap. It took quite a bit funds wise from what I heard to get the test when DieselPlace.com did it. But since then it got quiet... I'm sure there are some companies producing better fuels out there but once again is the additive package being adding in proper amount ot the quanity of fuel? Is the fuel being testd for quality and HFRR score minimums? :confused: This could go on and on for a lifetime time... What is comes do to is that we known that all Bosch equipment requires 400 or less HFRR score. We know that most fuels today would rarely touch that number unless its BioDisel 2% or better. So it up to you as a owner to protect your vehicle the best was you can...

Hmmm... Look like the front seal was going south anyways... So far you got the front cleared off... so you actually going to pull it completely out huh? I hope you clean every thing and give it a good Kylon tune up too!

That was back in the days of the PHPbb forum and I had a script to clean up old members and delete them. so during the conversion to VBulletin in created Guest account to fill the post in...

Geez... I just feel the love here...

Ed... May I ask what you fuel pressure is like with the old VP44??? :confused:

Ummmm... No diodes in the setup... All resistors... Usually a alligator clip or such works good at that though... But after I build them I normally would take my DVM and stick it in the ECM plug and toggle the switch and see what the resistor value is... Then in the other position it should be a dead short between plug to plug... So on the ECT fooler you should see 3.3K ohms and dead short... And then on the IAT you should see 33K ohms and 56K ohm then dead short... The dead short is normal basically passing back to the sensor as normal... It the open circuits that are a problem and tend to throw codes.

Wally world is the usual... But don't get worried about trying something different... most all 2 cycle oil is ASHLESS and works very well... Most name brand are good products it just the no-name stuff I tend to steer clear off being there is little information on it. Tried... [*]PennzOil (Which happens to be WalMart Supper Tech - Universial) [*]Quaker State [*]Yama-Lube (Semi-Synthetic) [*]Sthl (Chainsaw 2 cycle oil) [*]Phillips 66 Injex (Snowmobile) [*]Castrol (Snowmobile) And a few more I can't remember right now..

:agree: Yeap........

Actually there rubber tractor buckets... As for the current draw I've got a 20 Amp fuse running my light and the only fuse problems I've had was the fuse holder rotten away from corrosion... (Got wet a few times...)

Ok Dorkweed... BUSTED! You better catch up with Taz and ask him what happen today... Yes I work on his truck fixed his taillight problem. Then also was work on a clients Dell Computer... Then took off went for a ATV ride for about 2 hours and then now I got to pack up for town and get fuel for the Cummins and get some groceries... Yeah... Yesterday I never left the computer though... Raining...

Hey W & F... How about setting you Email notification up for instant and getting over 100+ email a day from CumminsForum... Then on top of that I got a link on my signature that goes to my contact us page and I get about 5-10 phone calls daily... As for CumminsForum.Com I still lurk around but don't post much... As for the phone calls yesterday it seem as soon the phone was hung up the phone rang again. I had 12 phone calls on help & support for the 24V 2nd Gens yesterday... Take a look at the Thanks Stats... Thanked 600 times in 468 Posts! Now try to find anyone on CumminsForum that has that much Thanks! Now to prove this I could show you a pic of my keyboard and how wore out it is... (no comment on my dirty keyboard) http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=98&stc=1&d=1260978951

They are roughly $15 bucks a piece seal beam bulbs. They are actually aircraft langing light to be exact. But here in Idaho they are sold at every NAPA around. So far I've mounted them on both Mom's truck and my own... Taz has a pair of 100w on the front of his too. Then I add a pair of 100w bulb to my rear axle!

You'd be the second one that I heard about that... I had a customer that had the same thing go wrong...

well my O-rings and copper shims will be here Friday...:evil:

Do you think I've been doing this too long? :eek: My profile off of CumminsForum.Com... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=96&stc=1&d=1260933805
