PM Dorkweed about his Blackstone labs results...

Ok... Simple the only controls for the cruise are in the steering wheel. But let me back up a second. Back in the old days the steering just had a horn 1 contact on a ring. Well today there is... [*]Cruise On/Off [*]Cruise Set [*]Resume [*]Coast [*]Canel [*]Horn [*]AirBag Trigger [*]Stereo Controls (Behind the steering wheel on some models) Now this mean there is no way to communicate all this on 1 wire. So that mean there is multi-wire strip that is wound up like a clock-spring in the steering shaft. There has been issues with the contact starting to show up on forums from wear and such. Then the clock springs have been know to fail over time too. Now as for the rest of the cruise system the PCM on the firewall controls this the early models used a vacuum module that pulls the throttle and the newer model are completely fly by wire now (electronic) the PCM just tells the ECM how fast to go... So back to failur points... Since you said... That means the controls or wiring to the PCM from the steering wheel are to blame... You might even check for error codes it might give a clue... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/obd2-error-codes/obd2-error-codes.htm

Yeah he changes his filters main and bypass but still running the same old oil.

Dorkweed is serious... He's running a bypass filter and never change oil yet...

Ok it could be the rocker switch in the steeering wheel or the clock spring in the steering wheel...

The ECM doesn't have the function... No... Diesela

Well... M E R R Y - C H R I S T M A S What did you all get for christmas?? Any new toyz??

Most are moving over to like a AirDog 100/150 pump with a 2 micron filter to protect the fuel system but also the enhanced fuel volume helps with keeping it lubed up. But also looking at Bosch requirements on fuel lubricity is <400 HFRR... Most today fuel is averaged out at ~520 HFRR which is too dry...

Cover my tail again... Yeah he's right you need to try that to before doing serious changes...

Well since Christmas really is kind of late here... we plan on heading down to Boise, ID or Ontario, OR to go shopping for gifts and such after the holiday rush is over. Not to mention the weather and road conditions are nasty. I've been pricing out batteries so when I'm down there I'll most likely just pick up a pair of new batteries like Wally World or something...

Any error codes? http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/obd2-error-codes/obd2-error-codes.htm Might try re-grounding the APPS sensor... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=12

Actually no... One member donated the injectors (used) and another member donated the copper shims and O-rings!

That cool I never bothered to look at the climp very close... Maybe because I've never blown the fuse??? :confused:

Well at the momnent done nothing... Since my main issue is most the injector install...

Hmmm... right below the ECM on the dirver side of the block near the engine mount...

So you need to replace the fuel gauge sender in the tank its a dealer only item that cost about $70 bucks roughly for JUST the sender. You don't need the whole pickup assembly. (Which the dealer loves to sell!) As for fixing without dropping the tank... Sorry its coming out... As for the overhead display (overhead idiot) yeap... It uses the sender values to calulate MPG's which makes it the most inaccurate measurement. :rolleyes2:

Interesting! I got my old AMD 800 MHz laptop setup the same way... No anti-virus, no firewall, no network sharing services, nothing it can surf the web but that all. The users on it are not Admins eithere they are normal user without right to install. The browser security is cranked up. But here is sits next to me and still going on the web and no sign of infection of spyware...

I'm going to take part of today and go play in the snow and then come home... Time for the ATV! :eek: There is roughly 2-3 inches here...

That sucks... you right safety is a priority number one! Like in my case I always have a set of jack stands ready ot catch my ride...

Here is what I found online... http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/de/full.aspx?Page=16

Funny... Because Mom says that all the time I did hear you pull up... But I can't escape the Dog (Diesel) he can hear the exhaust brake nearly a mile out as I slow down to turn into the driveway.

Welcome to my humble little site! Check your vacuum lines... If you vacuum lines are leaking it will turn the vacuum pump into a air compressor. Then is the crankcase vent plugged at all? You might think about doing a compression test...

There is a fuse in the panel inside the cab marked IOD fuse... (Ignition Off Draw) Normally this fuse has a weird clip over it.

Hmmm... Simular to what my House inverter does to the battery bank that powers the house. The charger normal keep thing between 26.8 and 28.6 Volts (24 Volts system) but once a month I put it on Equalize Charge which jacks the voltage to 31.5 Volts and charges at a higher voltage and current rate. During this time the batteries tend to bubble and stink of sulfur gasses. After there done I load them up with distilled water and back for another month of use. Funny part is these batteries are nearly 20 years old! Still powering the house and no problems...

Actually I know DuluthDiesel is... You could ask him how its going...
