Like you I'm completely torn about either answer... I don't like getting into either setup. But somewhere there is a problem.

After opening up the tank and seeing how the fill tube connects to the tank... You really don't need a locking cap. There is no way to push a hose into the tank deep enough to get all the fuel out. They might get a few gallons but that's it... I'll dig up a pic later on...

The stock A-pillar is left in place and the tubes and wires and in-between then stock and the aftermarket. I found it easy to route the tubes and wires by pulling the dash bezel and removing the headlight switch you can reach in and grab them then and route downward towards the floor. Then you can route out the firewall. I tend to stick solely to the manufacture listed dealers then I know for sure I get a quality product with a warranty and it not a cheap imotation of the actual product. I know a lot of you are good at getting good deals from Ebay...

I think its the ECM that controls the idle more so... Basically the ECM watches the Crankshaft sensor or Camshaft sensor for speed (RPM) and then dictates if the governor should put more fuel to it or not to keep idle up.Now I know that the VP44 can run without a ECM present but it does require a special Cummins box to feed a signal to the VP44. There is 2 modes of operation on the box idle and high idle. that's it...When I got time later I'll dig up the wiring diagram of the VP44 and you can see the input it takes... ;)

As a matter of fact I'm going to be yanking out my DirectTV soon. Like right now the only thing I turn it on for is the music (Top 40). Beyond that there isn't anything on there I like to watch. Well there is one thing but it snot worth it... Chinese Anime movies (English dubbed). :thumbsup I started collecting them off the internet... ;)

His punshment that the good "Lord" gives to him will be just... :mad

Autometer should have it... http://www.autometer.com/cat_mountsdeta ... dl=62&gw=1

Like myself if I drive with the right frame of mind I can hit some good and high MPG numbers. But in other cases like yesterday driving to Station #2 which is 4 miles up a steep dirt road it tends to kill my MPG down to about 12-14 MPG for the day... ` Dorkweed I see you use the same method of figuring out a tailgater... If some is so close I can no longer see you headlights this is my method of removal...1. First attempt I'm polite. I'll flip on and off my backup lights as a warning.2. Second attempt I'll just lay down on the hammer putting out just a mild to moderate haze.3. Third attempt I'll slow down just a bit trip the smoke switch and lay down the hammer... Blacking out the highway.Most people take the first warning... Women usually get the hint by 2nd try... Some pricks just don't get a clue... :rolleyes

Ugh... I wish... Owww... I rolled out from under the Service Truck trying to diagnose a tranny leak and something popped in my back now I'm all crippled... :mad I know today is going to suck... `

Thanks great piece of wisdom, I did not know that. Wiring issues are my least favorite kind of repair. Give me some worn our part to change, PM project or HP mod. Instant gradification nation, in some things I guess I buy into it! LOL Dave

Did you get the "Death Flash" ???The Death Flash is a flash upgrade (or downgrade) that reduces timing to prevent knocking. I've been reading up and finding out the death flash is a major issue when it comes to power and MPG issues. But is does reduce the ignition knoc from low octane fuels. Now for the solution a lot of guys are getting programmer like SuperChips and the like to over-ride the "Death Flash"Hmmm... You did know I was studing up on gasser now did you??? 8| > ;)

The Dakotas are really nice vehicles... My neighbor has one and look great for a smaller truck. Trying to find what you want might be a bit tough but keep looking you'll find one soon... :thumbsup

Well here we go... Boy I really like the Honda Rancher for a ATV. Electric shift is great no hunting around for a foot shifter. Run like a bat of hell. :wow

If you are make sure the washer doesn't interfer with the passage of fuel (too small of a hole). The pic of the washer above was a perfect fit... ;)

No actually your not losing it. You're following me down the same trail really... I'm switching away from my Cummins more so and trying to switch into driving my Mom's 96 Dodge 5.9L gasser. Gasoline is cheaper but only if the MPG start to rise on this 96 beast. But my problems is that I drive short trips and never really used so it need a good long trip some where so it can get the crud blown out if it.But back your post... I would aim for a V6 or 5.2L from what I'm seeing. The 5.2L is doing some wonderful MPG numbers from what I'm finding on other forums. (16-19 MPG).

I know of several people that are running it but its simple to make a choice on if you want to or not... Just get the MSDS sheet for the product and it will give you a clue if its all solvents or got a fuel lubricant in it...

Well Ummm... I've hear all kind of stories on size but this is the size on my 2002... (6 sided socket)

Most grounds in a Dodge are black... (Normally!)

Right off the top...1. I would double check your headlight fuses in the PDC.2. I would disable the MOD to see if it returnes to normal function (without dimming)

Hey Gang... I want to let you guys know I had to retire from another forum because of the amount of email and posting. It was getting to be about 3-4 hours to answer 50-100 post per day. It was getting really hard on me. Also I was wanting to gear up for the summer time and want to enjoy the summer camping, fishing, riding 4 wheeler, hunting etc... I'm going to enojy my summer this year... So to make room for this I had to let a site go... But i'll most likely gear up and return to tech support at CF.com come winter time... Thread from CF.com http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/off-t ... f-com.html

Hey gang... I'm starting to work towards a killer summer and desided to buy a new 4 wheeler for up here in back country of Idaho... It going to be a 2009 Honda Rancher 4x4 (420 cc engine). I'm heading out tomorrow morning to go get it. As a matter of fact a good friend of mine is also picking up one as well...Specs...420cc Honda liquid cooled OHV four strokeFuel injected5 speed electric shift with ReverseAhh... Heck... I'll post pics of it tomorrow evening once its home... ;)

OMG! 8| :wow LOL Yea it seem that the springs tend to relax over time just like any other springs...

You know me.............LOL > :moon

Don't push it... LOL :nono 8|

actually over this last winter the pressures slide down to as low as 12 PSI WOT and idle at 14 PSI. (Thicken fuel - Gelling) After this stress was put on the regulator spring it seems to hold the same pressure come spring time. I tend to like to have it float between 15-17 PSI knowing the overflow valve is just cracking open. (Know there more that enough fuel).
