Also the hotter your running transmission wise the more energy is being lost to generating heat in the transmission.

Uneducated second gen owner in need of help
Storage amount is listed on the subscription profile for each. Like Silver... Yeah there typically set for 17 PSI from the start. 3G pumps have a bearing and seal issue. the 4G pump is upgraded to double seals and better shaft bearing.

Dead ECM
That is what makes this website go around. The experiences and knowledge is shared by all. This reduces the stress and guessing of where to get services and repairs done for a fair price and good turn-around time.

Dead ECM
They got a about 7 day turn around on my PCM that I burned up. Damage beyond repair but they had a replacement and it flashed correctly.

Cummins died
There is a reason the VP44 was a upgrade to the p-pump. The VP44 has dynamic timing and way better tuning over a mechanical P-pump. Yes I'll admit P-pump is a awesome platform for racing or competition use but difficult to tune. Then with VP44 and Quadzilla you can take advantage of up to 32° BTDC timing where the P-pump is static and locked to one timing. P-pump can put down more fuel than VP44 but VP44 is more street friendly and you don't end up giving up things like cruise control. Like my truck if I p-pump the engine cruise is fly by wire so cruise control would be lost. Or grab your mobile device and tune... ...can't be done on a p-pump... P-pump you need to measure the lift of the pump piston and pull the gear and preposition on the shaft.

I bit the bullet...
@dieselautopower Could you list some links of products that fit this bill. I've got several people that might be interested.

Random Acceleration
I'm going to turn a different direction. Pull the alternator and have it bench tested for AC ripple, replace if needed Do the W-T ground wire mod. This will stop majority of the AC noise in the system. Do the Field Wire Fuse Mod (optional) just to protect the PCM. Random throttling could be caused by AC noise infecting the tach signal from the cam / crank sensor. This will create random pu down swings of throttle while in cruise or manually controlling the throttle.

Cummins died
About $5,000 for a rebuild on a guess. Don't do option 2. You regret it. Majority of people that p-pump a 24V engine ends up losing MPG and parking the truck. Like Tfaoro is one and he end up buying a 4th gen that was reliable.

Crud, I'm just spitting distance from you. Just north of McCall towards Riggins, ID.

Hey you guys I got to get rid of a skunk.....
Normal around my place. Travel through and spray a few objects and move on about a day or 2 the smell leaves.

Depends. Lot of other factors.

Already running South Bend ConOFE clutch. Stock clutch barely held the Edge comp back in the day with stock injectors. https://mopar1973man.com/garage/vehicle/101-2002-dodge-ram-2500/?show=mods Another reason why I opted for the 245's tire the smaller tires tend to break free early and easy which saves the clutch and driveline from damage.

Yup... Diesel Auto Power for supplier. You can get custom injectors and the Quadzilla as a package. https://www.dieselautopower.com/dap-vp-truck-performance-bundle

Mechanical lift pump
Come to think of it there hasn't been a mechanical fuel pump in many years in either gasoline engine or diesel engines. Every one moved the fuel pump to the fuel tank or near the fuel tank.

I know there is a few members here with DRBIII tool.

Mechanical lift pump
Also had it problems back in the day called vapor locking for gasoline engines and on the 12V engine were known for not able to keep the VE pump supplied only if left stock. Even the 12 P-pump trucks most had to ditch the mechanical pump for a AirDog or FASS because that mechanical pump could keep up on the high RPM's the flow efficiency was way low.

Why would corrosion build up more when parked?
Coat the terminals with engine oil and it will never happen period. Then inside the cab fuse panel pull the IOD fuse out in its holder and the Ignition Off Draw will be disconnected from the battery.
