Ummm... Errr... Um. Someones diesel?!
Typically 45 to 48 cetane. Don't let the premium tag get you. Higher the cetane the lower the BTU content. 40 to 43 cetane has much more BTU's over the premium version.

You'll have to PM the author. Most likely they where on Photobucket and Photobucket shutdown their free access. Sorry...

Weird issue with brake pedal feel and PS pump
No. Mine doesn't do that at all.

02 3500 hard to start
It can be crossover tube o-rings, return line leak, pressure line loose (leaks into the return rail), suction side leak of the lift pump.

Blower motor inop
When you replaced the blower motor did you replace the blower resistor too? If the resistor is failing then the motor will start and stop randomly as the resistor heats and cools.

Exhaust system info
Mopar1973Man replied to Tittle Diesel Performance's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve PowertrainThis why most performance add-ons do nothing for the performance like custom intake horn, and exhaust because the normal daily driver isn't going to flowing enough my make a huge difference.

Typically I won't do A/C recharging on cool or cold days. It throws off the entire pressures and volumes.

Mopar1973Man replied to Tittle Diesel Performance's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve PowertrainMy average cruising boost is 2 to 3 psi. Then cruising EGT's 550 to 600 degrees. If you where to measure post turbo I'm going to bet it's about 100 to 150 degrees cooler. 65,000 miles a year and 90% of the time cruise is set a 65 MPH.

Or the glove box or under the hood.

What is your fuel pressure while cranking? Are you losing prime? Does it start easier if parked with nose downhill?
-
Kinda No Start Condition (Broke Down 4 months)
Loss of prime... The the lift pump is suppose to run 50% duty cycle during starting. Typically about 7 to 12 psi during cranking.

What us locals out here in Riggins Idaho call Guy tight. There was a guy name Guy Eggert nice friend of mine but he never used a torque wrench. Just broke out the 1/2 breaker bar and the cheater bar till either it was stripped out or broke the bolt in half. Me... Ill rather use a torque than guess. Even scrappy low budget torque wrench is better than guessing.

02 quad cab dually 2 whl dr. truck pulls right under torque,left decelerating.
Try having the front end realigned? Possibly got the thrust angle goofy? Lift kits, leveling kits, oversized tires, etc.?

Exhaust system info
Mopar1973Man replied to Tittle Diesel Performance's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve PowertrainI can tell this between 13 years of 3-inch exhaust and now nearly 2 years of 4-inch diamond eye exhaust... The 4-inch is louder even with muffler installed. Then there was zero EGT difference and zero MPG difference. Made no performance impact. Being I hit my highest MPG on 3-inch exhaust.

Ummm... I'm in the same position. Web server admin so I get plenty of reading on Dodge Cummins stuff. Too much really... I've got a drooling issue most days.

245s would be better for the 4 speed automatics. Your OD is 0.68:1 vs 0.75:1 for my 5 speed in OD.

Weird issue with brake pedal feel and PS pump
So you got the RWAL which is just going to guard the rear axle has no function on the front axle. ABS system doesn't care if the brakes are working or not it all based on speed signal and rate of change of the speed signals. In a nutshell as soon as the switch is closed for the brakes the ABS computer is monitoring the speed sensor(s) for a balanced change of speed. The only reason you would have any line issues is that your brake fluid has degraded from lack of fluid changes. As brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it absorbs water from the air. As the moisture is absorbed by the brake fluid the boiling point falls quickly as well. Being water has oxygen in it then it has the ability to oxidize metal parts and degrade the rubber parts. This is why brake fluid turns dark to black in color.

Depends on the supporting mods. If you have a fairly stock engine I would suggest the single 62/68/12 turbo. Now if you got the ARP studs, possibly fire-ring head then twins would be a good place to jump to. Being you can tolerate the extra boost without much issues.

This could be an ABS function kicking in quickly. So if the brakes are dragging a bit on one side then there would be a possible offset of left to right speed signals. Which the ABS might be jumping and bumping the electric pump to offset the left to right pressures to keep even braking. I would break down the calipers and inspect them. It's possible the pistons are caked with brake fluid and binding up. With the seals out the piston should fall to the bottom of the cylinder without being pushed. If they are hanging the pistons are caked with brake fluid. You can replace the pistons or just lightly sand them with fine grit sandpaper to get them back to size.

compound set up
You might not need the 200HP injectors after the re-gear you'll gain power after you re-gear the axles.

Mopar1973Man replied to Tittle Diesel Performance's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve PowertrainI'm running a 4-inch Diamond Eye Exhaust with the muffler. When you get on the throttle she still talks. But cruising she is near quiet as a church mouse. I hear my turbo spooling more than the exhaust.
