AirDog 150 is Installed!
Actually that was a mis print... I called PureFlow Tech. and got the update listing... Baldwin filter don't exist... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/personal/2002/airdog-150/airdog-150.htm Bottom of the page...

Emmisions strattegy
Yeah you right as emmission testing becomes a issue in your areas it will get tougher and tougher... so far out here it still rather quiet and nothing being said as far as emssion testing. The larger cities like Boise, ID does testing but I'm luck and live nearly 200 miles away... But as for 2 cycle oil usuage here I get weird look anyways... LOL

E brake bracket rusted off
Well that would address the rusting problem... Like here we use a lot of salt and Mag Clorine for de-icer...So now how about the bracket do you come up with a source??? :confused:

E brake bracket rusted off
Hmmm... side like you going to a wrecking yard to dig for part aren't ya??? But I'll give this much... Every weekend when I was my truck I wash the truck... I wash the body, engine and even under the body and frame... But knowing you got issues with your legs and all... I heard of some guys parking there truck on the lawn and sliding a sprinkler under the truck and let it run. It does work it will knock most of the mud off and keep it clean.. But since your down to rust now I would look into getting it undercoated when you can...

adjusting valves
This should get you covered... http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/maint/2nd_Gen-12v.htm 12V require more valve adjustment that 24V... But here is my write up for a 24V and it really close to the 12V... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/tips/cumm ... ve-adj.htm

Bosch Testing of Fuels...
Oh Boy the document I was looking for... Quick summary of why IP pump and injections fail in Bosch eyes is the fuel lubricity is too LOW!!!! Here you go gang Bosch did testing on USA fuel and don't even come close to the standards of Europe fuel... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=5

Having others work on my vehicles...
If the rear e-brake shoe or out of adjustment the pedal doesn't alway return properly either... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/tips/cumm ... -brake.htm But typically in cold weather the cable does get stick and hang up. Sometimes you just got to park it a in a warm shop and wash the cables down and the dirt and grit off them. Then the pedal returns normally. I have this problem out here in the cold days of Idaho. I start out in Riggins, ID where is 45*F and raining and head back to New Meadows, ID where its 20*F and snowing now all that road grime and ice is form up on the cables. Now I set my brake (manual trans) and park it for the night. Next morning the brake won't release properly. BRAKE light on yet and the pedal hanging down...

Anti Gel of 2 cycle - "THEORY"
Well so far this winter I've been down to about 0*F with SuperTech and no issues either. Not to mention my AirDog 150 is unheated and no problems with filter plugging... :thumbsup

2cycle and B5
Possible... It always possible to have a tank of poor produced fuel... :confused:
-
2cycle and B5
Like I read over that PDF already... The biggest thing is the viscosity of the fuel changes spray patternes of the injectors. So as the B5 starts thickening up the pattern narrows... It seem like all BIO fuels have a short comings... Like ethanol is greatly reduced in BTU content. BioDiesel is also short in BTU content, gels easy, cause injector problems if produced wrong.... viewtopic.php?f=14&t=117

Well without much for information... Bad ground, weak batteries, weak charging system... (Possiblity) Loose or corroded wiring... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/tips/cumm ... ircuit.htm (This will work anywhere in the electrical system for testing weak connections or bad wires!) Heat effecting the electronics (VP44 or ECM) but error codes typically point this out. Fuel pump problems... No the little white plastic hub isn't suppose to come out... It's glued in at the factory but most of the fuel additives tend to break down the glue and the plastic hub starts to spin inside the hub so you hear the pump buzz but it doing nothing. This can happen randomly too..

BD Steering Box Stabilizer
I think a bunch of mine is these Cooper STT tire and running them slightly soft right now for winter traction. But as for my front end It still feels tight but is seem to wander back and forth in the trucker grooves in the asphalt... Or is it just the highway my problem??? :confused:

new to site
Hmmm... Sound like a few possible thing could be happening... Cam or Crank sensor is going out on you... If the tach drops to zero usually the cam or crank sensor is to blame but typically there is a error code. P1693 means there is a error code in either ECM or PCM or both. That all the code means... But if you using a code reader like a ScanGauge II it should pickup all the codes for you... As for the lack of power that automatically points to fuel supply problem either the lift pump, VP44, or filter is plugged Here is how to test your lift pump... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/tips/cumm ... p-daig.htm You need to keep at least 10 PSI at the VP44 to keep it happy... As for the previous APPS post well that would have a P0121, P0122, or P0123 error code pointing to failed APPS...

Filter minder testing...

2 Stroke and the Common Rail
There is no reason for injector cleaners... If there is a concern of dirt entering the injecotrs that upgrade your fuel filter to 2-3 microns once you done that there is zero concerns for injector cleaners ever again. But as for the fuel lubricant... Today's fuel is short in fuel lubicity and will remain that way for a long time. So 2 cycle oil should be used every tank... Mixing any cetane booster, injector cleaner, or anti-gel with 2 cycle oil just cancels out the 2 cycle and the additive... Cetane Booster - Increase cetane levels and reduces BTU's 2 Cycle Oil - Decreases Cetane and increase BTU's Injector Cleaner - Decrease lubricity 2 Cycle Oil - Increases lubricity

Filter minder testing...
For those guys that have filter minders or BHAF with a filter minder. I made a short video how to test your filter minder... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/personal/ ... f/bhaf.htm You'll find that the suction is about the same amount as would put on a drinking straw in a large drink. EDIT LINK corrected...

Winter Fronts - Best way to keep you Cummins Warm!
Remember you got the holes in the bumper and then the gap between the grill and bumper. so no it takes quite a bit to over heat it... But it block and lot of cold air from blowing in.

2 Stroke and the Common Rail
First of WELCOME to MOPAR1973MAN.COM Yeap that is over kill... Let say the fill up was 25 gallons of fuel... So at 128:1 ratio should of been 25 ounces of oil (Heaviest mixture) And at 200:1 ratio should of been 16 ounces of oil (tyipcally where most 3rd gen get ther best...) And at 256:1 ration should of been 12.5 ounces of oil (lightest mixture) Here is the math for it... Convert gallons of fuel to ounces... 128 x (Gallons of fuel) = Ounces of fuel Ratio fo fuel to oil... 3,200 Ounces (Fuel) / 200 (Ratio) = 16 Ounces

2cycle and B5
Adding anthing thing to your fuel can be illegal...ATF, WEO/WMO, WVO, 2 cycle oil, gasoline, kerosene, JP8, Jet-A Etc... If its not Diesel it not legal... Yes if you are dipped you could be fine...But this is a risk I'm willing to take to protect my fuel system with a small dose of 2 cycle oil.But if there so willing to bust people boy I'm in a bad place... I'm sittinig here with my web site advertising my address and phone number... Come and get me! But after 3 years of being on the web and forums... Nothing has happened... The local cops even in truck know I do this... 8| I'm not worried... :D

manifold air pressure
ScanGauge II doesn't show the MAP sensor value correctly... It about 28.6 PSIA at idle and tops out at about 37.7 PSIA... Normal atomsphere should be 14.7 PSIA then 30 PSI of boost should be (30+14.7) which is 44.7 PSI. I'm current trying to find a alternate XGauge for that problem... P0236 - Map Sensor Too High Too Long Problem detected in turbocharger wastegate. Do you have a smoke switch? If so and leaving it on will cause this error... Do you have a enhancement box (Edge comp)? Unplugging the MAP sensor does the same thing as a smoke switch. By chance could you fill out you signature I could help you out better... ucp.php?i=profile&mode=signature

ATS and EPA Letter
Ok here is some light on the subject... Here is what Eric at ATS had to say... Well this adds a change of heart for me... It not cool for a person to raid you email for information and publicly post information that could ruin your business...
