Must be all that 2 cycle oil.

Keep a roof vent open ever so slightly.

For 500 dollars your crazy. I can buy 5 gallons for just a bit over 275 dollars.

Castrol Syntorq was discontinued quite awhile ago which is what is bottled in the Mopar bottles. Then there are some that follow name brands like AMSOil or Red line. Just like the Texaco fluid for NV5600 was discontinued as well. Most have gone to PenzOil Syncromech fluid. Just food for thought...

Tuesday the head goes to the shop and gets a rebuild. Monday morning I'm going to order the rest of the parts to get this back together. I'm going to aim for studs.

Mopar fluids are no longer produced. Kind of hard to buy something that is no longer produced. This why many of us are finding other solutions.

Yes. Now this one cylinder has a rub mark on the wall. I know what it is. Remember back to the turbo eating a hose clamp. I'm betting a small flake of aluminum compressor wheel made it to this cylinder and rubbed the wall. No groove checked with my thumbnail.

Yeah by keeping all the bird in flight it makes the trailer lighter right? One of those paradoxes?

Head removal is simple and took a friend and me 3 hours to get the head removed. I will admit it a very heavy piece of cast iron either have two able bodies to lift the head or use an engine hoist. We team lifted the head and got it off. More...

Here are the changes to the 1996 Dodge 1500 now that I've done the 215/85 R16 tires. I'm working on shaving off some of the cost per mile now and getting it down closer to the 17 cents a miles like the Cummins. Now for the 2002 Dodge 2500 Cummins... Last month was AVG MPG of 18.87 and Cost per mile was 18 cent a mile. The smaller tires did improve the economy!

No. Not exactly normal. Sounds like the pressure plate or throw out bearing is worn. Could be hydro are weeping air making the clutch travel more.

All those people that jumped to upgrade from Y to T steering.

That sucks I just bought NAPA tie rod ends not to long ago. I would of read the link but I'm on mobile today.

I've been saying all along, Moog is no longer an American made product... I will not even suggest Moog parts.

Just like one guy in Riggins, ID with 318k on the OEM injectors. Just lucky. Then I've seen them right at 112k miles and the injector wipes out an engine.

Not to mention you would have glitter in transfer case fluid.

Cheap meter. You need a meter capable of measuring mV AC and variable frequency. Like I'm using a Fluke 75.

As for the ECM I would get the right one for your current options. Its nice to have the anti-stall feature of the manual software.

I'm using Mobil 50 SAE Transmission Fluid (1 Gallon) Fill plug is on the passenger side takes a allen wrench. Drain plug is the bottom PTO cover bolt. You'll need to pull the PTO covers and clean that out.

I've got to ask the question what is the color of the brake fluid?

Not hard to rebuilt maybe take you an hour to rebuild a starter. Slow starting typically is the brush plate so make sure to order that in the kit. I've got my OEM starter sitting in box for later to be rebuilt. Right now the blown head gasket is more important.

Because when AC noise is introduced to the ECM the AC ripple is like a hammer banging away at all the processors in the ECM. This AC ripple creates heat and the chips start to fail. Now you have an ECM with a random issue because when the ECM is cool its working fine for the most part but as heat (block and/or AC noise) is placed on the ECM it stresses the ECM till it fails. DC wise you are going to have all the power needed but AC wise your most likely over the limit. Watch this video it explains a bunch... Then go back and read over W-T's article... As you'll see AC noise is not just a Cummins thing all vehicles can have the issue but they all exhibit the weird behavior in different ways.

Here are a few Quadzilla tunes to start with... https://mopar1973man.com/files/category/22-quadzilla-standard-tunes/ Also running DAP 7 x 0.0085 VCO Injectors... My list of mods... https://mopar1973man.com/garage/vehicle/101-2002-dodge-ram-2500/?show=mods

LOL... sounds like me. 13 hours a day stuck in a truck driving 3 days a week. Now trying to get time to even pull the head off my Cummins so I can get it repaired. I've got my pin up there on the map but it won't do much good unless you know where I'm hiding these days.

I've got a simple version of that same article... Kind of hard to record an error code when the operating system isn't even booted up... Normal. The lift pump will run on after the key is switched off. It's possible to have lift pump run 10 seconds afterward. The only time the lift pump is supposed to cut instantly is if you stall the engine from say an accident if the tach signal drops to zero the ECM will instantly cut the lift pump.
