2nd Gen power issues
Way too high... 8| 10-20 PSI is normal... As for the steering column... http://www.autometer.com/cat_mountsdeta ... dl=62&gw=0

vp44 replacement
Beat me too it... LOL

pinion
That one feild I'm not that great with is Axles and Ring and pinion... :red

Oil Pressure..
Oil pressure sender might just be stuck internally... I would verify this with a mech gauge and see what you pressure actually is... If different then you know you got to replace the oil pressure sender...

Air Dog 100 using stock fuel cannister/Heater
I kept my stock filter and fuel heater... Also I even left a filter in the stock filter housing... So far no issues running this... But I kept it because Idaho winter are rather cold... 8|

no crank
Think about it... Today ULSD fuel is 520 HFRR...

Expensive fuel and speed!
That's impressive for MPG 25.77! You got me beat... ` But I've been hauling heavy lately with 2-3 cords of firewood and trailer in tow... So I don't expct much for MPG'

Excessive Cranking to Start
What is your fuel pressure like? Also did you do the lift pump diagnostics? http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/lift-pump-diag/lift-pump-diag.htm Bump the starter to activate the transfer pump. Look for air bubbles. If no air bubbles are present, proceed to step 10. If bubbles are present, check the lines/connectors between the fuel tank and the transfer pump for conditions allowing air to be drawn into the fuel system. Correct the condition and repeat steps 6, 8, and 9 Most of the fuel system is a vacuum line so leak never leak outwards but they sure suck inwards without leaving a wet spot... Speed sensor is in the top of the rear diff... The P0500 error code explained here... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/abs/abs.htm (Bottom of the page!)

no crank
If your getting fuel for even 5 cylinders it should start... Because Cummins has a 3 cylinder high idle mode for winter time operation so it will run on 3 cylinders if there is enough fuel. So my money is on the the fact you might have a dead VP44...

slow at high rpms
Yes you must tap the wire... Edge Comp fuels with normal de-fueling (2,700 RPM) Edge Drag Comp fuels all the way to 3,200 RPM (redline). Edge Juice (Hot) will act just like Edge Drag Comp Adrenaline I'm not sure of... I'm pretty sure there is a setting/program to all it. I think the Smarty does it too. BD Has a box too... http://www.dieselperformance.com/index. ... /index/43P

1. Error Codes? 2. Fuel pressure? (Bad lift pump, air leak, etc) 3. Fuel filter?

slow at high rpms
Actually you need to more the governor forward to 4K to defeat the curve. Redline box, Edge Drag Comp, Quadzilla Adrenaline, etc have ability to move the governor red line. But typically the Cummins 24V starts de-fueling at roughly 2,700 all the way to 3,200 RPM redline.

96-97, 24 V
24V engines are different in appearance... But 24V started in 98.5 and went to 2002... Simple way of figureing it out...Does it look like this? (24 Valve engine)

2nd Gen power issues
Order of importance... 1. Fuel pressure (0-30 PSI) - Without a fuel pressure gauge you can ruin your VP44 injection pump. 2. Pyrometer (0-1,600*F) - Without a pyrometer and towing you can exceed 1,200*F rather quickly even with a stock engine... 3. Boost pressure (0-35 PSI) - Good to keep track of the boost has a direct bearing on Pyro Temps. 4. Trans Temp - Protect your trans from overheating... I don't hear of many problem in this catagory... You can order a 3 place a-pillar and a steering column single pod.

No Start( I bragged too soon)
Sounds like a air leak in the fuel system...Fuel pressure gauge would point out a bunch of this problem... But as for finding the leak I would pressureize the fuel tank with 1-2 PSI of air and look for wet spots.

Scan Gauge II
Yeah just trip another code and reset the codes...

He's about right on the money... 1. Fuel pressure? http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/lift-pump-diag/lift-pump-diag.htm 2. Air Leaks (Low pressure system including return lines) 3. Overflow valve http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/overflow-valve/overflow-valve.htm

2nd Gen power issues
It would but they don't allow for Live data stream viewing like the ScanGauge does... Hmmm.... That's odd... Most parts stores can get the MAP sensors for Cummins... Verify it closely before you buy it...

More 2 cycle oil stories
Hmmm... Wally world 2 cycle is about $11 bucks a gallon... But someone found that Valvoline is better than SuperTech (PenzOil)...

codes p0230,p0234
Hmmm... I've not had a problem yet... My wastegate is fre as a bird... I don't even have rust on my turbo yet. :confused:

normal engine operating temp?
Typically...190*F to 200*F is normal. Running hard and heavy with the Edge Comp cranked up... I've seen 208*F a few times...

replacing vp44 should I replace the cam sensor too
Would be a good idea to replace the sensor while the pump is out... :smart
