remove torque management
Actually all 1998.5 and up have torque management... It basically is controlled by speed of travel. Once you get past 20-30 MPH it released... Wow! Interresting... Well around here we are looking for long life of the truck not broken parts...

ATV fun...
No doubt... I got to admit even in the summer time its still fun but sure hate life trying to get all the dust out of your nose... :shocked2: Since i bought my ATV in the spring I've gotten over 1.6K miles on mine... I also managed to build enough trails that I can nearly ride all the way to town without riding on paved highways. But with the snow around here I really could use a plow blade and make a few buck plowing driveways...

ATV fun...
Chuck that truely sucks to throw your back out trying to yank start anything... As for the carb choke problems... I've seen on my sled and other small engine were the choke slide gums up and stick and you'll end up using way to much force trying to move it. (SNAP!) Or even worse water got down in the cable and froze!

Ok how old are you???
I always thought I would be 21 for the rest of my life... Even though I'm looking down the barrel of 40's! :eek:

Cold weather and timing
Well crap... My truck has been sitting for 4 days in the shop plugged in. I went out and Toggle the ScanGauge II to show voltage and with the key off and nothing one is floating 12.0 to 12.1 volts. But since the block heater is plugged in there was no voltage drop because the manifold is 112*F... So I got to leave the truck outside... As for the batteries it looks like new batteries will be coming soon... If the voltage is falling off during a 4 day park...:shocked:

Dead Pedal, won't shift out of first
ISX has is about whipped there... I'm pretty sure there is a speed sensor on the tailshaft area of the trasnsmission. This would be the one you want to change out. But as long as the error code is present the trans will remain in limp mode and continue to shift in this style.

Auto Body Parts
Yeap the bed side will have to cut off the spot welds and a new skin welded on. The bumper has to be replaced. Hard to tell if the tailgate is damaged. But it going to require so fund for sure... Or insurance if you got full coverage...(I do!)

gets stuck going left???
Camber or Caster will cause the return normally of the steering... But as for binding up and getting stiff that still points to the gear box more than pump. You never said anything about hard brakes too. So this point back to the gear box again... Remember if the pump is going then steering would be bad all the time with the brakes...

Injector upgrade
Well... The local one in Grangeville, ID is well rather more for farm machinery... Not much for the Dodge Cummins... But there is a Cummins dealer in Boise, ID but its 3 hours away... So either way I would have to drive long distance or just order it anyways... I'm in the middle of Nowhere Idaho... The closest town to me has a population of 300 people...:eek:
