Actually I did get it posted... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=2 PM Sent...

I tend to forget about that... LOL http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/personal/2002/vulcan/vulcan.htm

Hmmm... Now I understand... It might be easier... But I still love the computerized version better... :thumbsup

Actually your below the boundary... :rolleyes Right out of the Dodge FSM... So you going to need a fuel system upgrade before you tap the VP44.. But after you get the upgraded fuel system I'll tell you straight up you get more MPG's with it cranked up to 5x5... ;)

Wow ! :wow That a sweet setup if it pumps fuel for you automatically in 5 gallon burst... I would keep it the computer... :thumbsup

When ever you got a weak connection to a large load like a starter and you winding on it hard trying to start like in a cold morning you can get a lot of heat build up right at the weak connection. So if there was a lot of oil, grease, fuel leakage... Yeap I can see it catching fire...

Both... I did it too on a buddies start quick as hell... 3 bolts holding the starter. 1 nut for the battery lead and solenoid lead a squeeze-pull connector. 2 or 3 screws on the lid over the cotacts... :thumbsup

Your welcome! :D

My buddies truck... It in the prime of its life! And it even gives me a run for my money! LOL

Yeap... This one reason I moved away from most fuel additives... But I'm shocked at the fact that Opti-lube would attack the container. 8| :wow But never the less these products are full of the common 3 chemicals.

You might check for error codes and see what happens... That might give clues...

LOL It's only 80-100 round trip to go grocery shopping... Its my daily running around locally that is killing me... I'm used to firing up and driving at least 100 miles daily. Now my truck might do 2-5 miles daily... So I make time to run it out and down the canyon good and hard to heat it up good. Like tomorrow I got to run to Council, ID and drop off some stuff... So there is about 104 miles round trip... As for the short trip that is considered under the guidelines of serve service on the maintenance. Basically when you don't get the engine up to temp completely the oil doesn't cook off the moisture and other things in the oils and lubricants... Since I built the high idle switches I tend to use it to warm up the engine more than driving the extra miles. But in ther same sense the MPG are lower from this... Can't win for losing... :confused:

Ok... With the 3rd gens... Air in the fuel (bubbles) - Might cause missing...leaky injector(s) - This will make it difficult to start sometimes...Weak lift pump pressure - Could cause a problem...The biggest problem with 3rd Gen trucks is the expensive injectors (about $2,000) and getting a good quality filter (2 micron) to protect them...

Oh My... Your engine isn't broke in till 250K miles... These engine are good for 1,000,000 (1 Million miles). I got a buddy on the site here (Taz) that has over 600K miles now and the pump turned up on his 1992 Dodge Cummins 12V. I've also got a 3,200 RPM Governor spring sitting on my desk ready to install... But as for following my path your very safe in power. It when you start really getting into power is when problems occur. But I would upgrade you fuel system before you even think of power upgrades...

I'm willing to learn from your results as well... So keep us posted... :thumbsup

I've see a few videos on YouTube with Cummins powered Monte Carlo's... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO_kjaxIDzc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO_kjaxIDzc[/ame]

Veggie oil has a few of it own problems and bonuses...Problem - Gels sooner than 2 cycle oil or even diesel.Problem - Cold oil does tend to coke up the injectors.Bonus - Better lubrication than 2 cycle oil.

As for the wastegate its rusted shut now and not opening up that is way the overboost code. So you going to have to remove the turbo and disassemble the exhaust housing and clean and inspect everything. I've got a book for this but I need to post it up in the book download page! :smart I would check for codes quickly again and see if it was just a fluke. I've seen some code readers do that like mine will pull a P0000 code once in awhile. I know that P0000 doesn't exist so I un-plug and plug back in and check the codes again. Then the true ones show up. Iseen some really weird ones... LOL 8|

Not a good idea anymore... :nono The reason being is that the ATF of the 1970's was nothing more than red dyed hydraulic fliud... Today now with ATF+3 and ATF+4 there is all kind of chemical and additives packages dumped into it. Friction modifiers, etc... These chemical packages will have a direct impact on you IP pumps, and injectors... This was the change to 2 cycle oil was developed was to give a clean lubricant without all the additive packages and un-needed things thast ATF has now... Same principal but back to clean lubricant... :thumbsup

Well that's 2 now... DorkWeed and yourself that give a big thumbs up to 2 cycle oil.. :thumbsup

P0078 - Unknown code P0216 - VP44 Timing failure (Yes this is the dreaded failure code.) P0234 - Max boost pressure exceeded. (Wastegate problem) P1693 - Companion code.... (Typical to see - Has a special meaning) Error Codes... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/obd2-error-codes/obd2-error-codes.htm

Like my ol' Charger used to pull a good 18-19 MPG with a 383 CID... Now my Mom's Dodge Magnum XE I took the 4 BBL carb off and put a holley 2 BBL on and got the MPG up to 21 MPG before it got parked... Great car... ;)

Let me know how it works out... ;)

Oh... About $1,200 to $1,500 dollars worth of injection pump...

Here is the best idea I've got... http://www.vulcanperformance.com/Draw-S ... ps9804.htm Get the 1/2" line kit... ;)
