Blow by test to me is a joke. Ask JL-Welding about his misfire problems and no blow by. It only cost him a total of $20,000+ to get fixed. If you want to check the status of each cylinder you need to run a compression test. Like JL_welding his problem was cracked piston but would not show up on a blow by test. Do mind you JL_Welding truck is a 24V engine versus a CR engine but the fact remain you can damage 1 cylinder enough to create a misfire but pass a blow by test.

Yes. I still got my AirDog 150 and its nearly 10 years old. Purchased in 2006 from GOS Performance.

Only the ECM controls the lift pump circuit. The only thing that will stop the lift pump circuit is that the tach signal drops to zero or the ECM is failing. VP44 has no abilities to control the lift pump if it on or off.

No. There is no check valve in the inlet. The overflow valve is at the return side.

Fuel pressure gauge? Fuel pressure gauge is a very helpful friend. If there is a loss of prime typically it can be seen on a fuel pressure gauge as a lag time for pressure to rise. May also show up as a sudden dip of pressure during cranking because of loss of lift pump prime. This will give clues on where the problem might be at.

Or go to the dealer and pay $120 for then to scan it.

Exactly what I do too. I typically run 4th gear (1:1 Ratio) on all speed below 55 MPH. It puts me right at about 2,100 at 55 MPH but like you said about 5 MPG higher. That's another reason I hate the auto's they make shifts at weird times and always requires human intervention to get the best MPG's. I typically have to run OD OFF as well on the 96 Dodge for optimal MPG's.

First off I would have all injectors pulled and pop tested. Because it sounds like you got more than one bad. Then while all 6 are out I would do a compression test. Since it common for common rails to wash out all the rings with bad injectors. Then I would never replace one injector but replace all as a set. Yes common rail injectors are expensive about $3000 to $4000 for a set which is about 10 times higher than my old 24V. Which most likely didn't fix the ultimate problem. The problem is in the A port valve of the injector because its sticking open.

(Can't Touch This)

Only fuel from one port is rather scary. That means that possibly the rotor has broke free from the shaft internal on the injection pump. It could be air issues yet. So don't give up yet. I've seen rare cases where a shot of ether is all that is needed to get it to bump over. Before using starting fluid make sure to disconnect the grid heaters and only use a very small spurt of startering fluid.

Hmmm... You drive a hard bargain don't you? Ok. Since a cord is 128 cubic feet... I want 128 cubic feet of water or 957.506 gallons. So more cubic feet of water water the more cubic feet of wood... Fair trade eh?

Even at work some guys like using gloves and other like myself hate them. Yeah they keep you hand cleaner for all about the first few minutes till you snag a sharp piece of metal and it tears. Where normal skin would slide over. Now sloppy jobs like packing bearings yes I'll wear gloves save me from washing all the grease off. As for NAPA filter I'm using them now as well. 120 mile round trip or 250 mile round trip for Fleetguard filters is just getting too much.

Can't. The ash levels are too high now and will leave nasty deposits on the pistons and injectors. This is why 2 cycle oil theory started because 2 cycle oil is ashless.

Like Mopar Mom is starting her own indoor garden. We've been enjoying home grown tomatoes. Now I've picked up some bell peppers and other herbs now too. Kind of the reason for the desk change so we had more room in the living room for our indoor garden. Small but producing. As for junk food we are not buying potato chips and mostly good wholesome food here too. MoparMom is the kitchen guru. As for meats I'm the picky one there I'm more in favor of our local butcher here in the valley than store bought meat better quality. also we can buy Elk meat as well. So I'll say we are not as tight diet wise as you but eating better than 90% of the public.

This means there could be internal ECM issues. If you cycle the key your rebooting the ECM. Just like cycling the power switch on your laptop. The computer must go back through and reboot. This is why I always say do not disconnect the batteries because it will not reset computers. Thee software is flashed to the PROM and will not change with disconnecting the batteries. But cycling the key dumps the active RAM and causes in flight reboot. Now do you see any delay in the WAIT TO START light? Randomly or other wise?

I gather this is a FRRP. So I would disconnect the fuel line at the VP44 bump the key and see if the pump runs. If not then double check the power to the Raptor. i've seen several without relay systems so that means to check power from the ECM.

I'll take donations in water just hitch up a trailer and haul it out here.

Like our river. Take a peek at the flow. http://waterdata.usgs.gov/id/nwis/uv?site_no=13316500 The little triangles are the normal average flow rate.

About 25 MPH TQ management is released. Even my 5 Speed shows it. Right about 25 MPH there is a fairly big change of power. Smarty will reduce this but only partially. A RadBox will kill TQ management completely but you also lose the gauge cluster.

No. The direction the belt travels. So you would have to figure out a new belt direction and then also most likely have problems with the water pump.

Pretty over zealous huh?

I get all the resistance training I want typically. Push, pull dragging firewood rounds once home to get cut up and then split up and loaded to be stacked up. Plenty bending and stooping. As for weighing myself got a shocker when I weigh fully dress with my utility belt vs. just underwear. I pack at least another 15 pounds just on my pants/belt between flashlight, radio, multi-tool, and my 9mm pistol (when carrying). More resistance training. I kind of wish my old buddy was around yet. We use to head out hiking in the spring of the year when it was cool and walk with our day packs on our back weighing in at another 30 or so pounds plus with my utility belt on too. This was not on a road mind you but just up a mountain for fun.

What a mess DW... Time for some sand bags...

Got it! I found the missing link! Well not that missing link... But why the signature wasn't working...
