2001 2500/ AC quit?
How about freon in the system? Is there at least 60-90 PSI of freon on the low side? Electrical - How about the A/C relay is it good? Fuse J (10 Amp) is it blown? Is the compressor clutch got a open circuit? (Ohm test)

Maintenance
Cleaning sensors doesn't do any good to resolve any problem that is a Internet Myth. If a sensor is failed its failed and replacement will only fix it. I no longer suggest cleaning sensors because it doesn't resolve anything nor does it change readings.

Lift pump fail
Need to grab that AirDog / Raptor thread and keep building on it. Maybe between all of us we can keep the pumps going without all the constantly calling "Pureflow" for warranty work.

Radial tires and directional rotation
Typically its a front to rear tire rotation. Some people will take the front tires and criss-cross them going to the rear. Since the rear tires are typically wore flat faces and should cause any problems.

Lift pump fail
I had a conversation with Eric at Vulcan Performance about AirDog failures. First off his knowledge of failures where mostly on the Raptor series of pump. The full AirDog 100 or AirDog 150 where fine from his stand point of failures and warranty.

The NRA is the least of your personal worries. The Law of Unintended Consequences, Armed Civil Disobedience, and Lex Talionis. Dear Legislator, In the interest of full disclosure, I am an unindicted criminal. For the past two years, my friends and I have been breaking the state firearm laws of Colorado, Connecticut, New York, Maryland and, most recently, the state of Washington, that were passed in the wake of Sandy Hook. In those states where standard capacity magazines were banned, we have smuggled in such forbidden items in defiance of those laws. We have hardly made a secret of it. We want the authorities to arrest us. To date, they have not dared. In Connecticut and New York, the non-compliance rates on the registration of firearms and magazines are estimated to be as much as 85% to 90%. In New York, county sheriffs have put the state police on notice that if they try to enforce the SAFE Act in their jurisdictions that THEY will be arrested, not their intended victims. The authorities of those states have made noises that they will enforce these unconstitutional laws. But again, to date THEY HAVE NOT DARED. In Washington state, Michael Bloomberg bought himself a "universal background check" law much like the one you are about to pass. In response, two thousand of that state's uncompromising firearm owners gathered on the steps of the state capitol in Olympia -- armed to the teeth -- and defied Bloomberg's law despite threats that they would be arrested if they did. The rally, one of the largest pro-firearm rights demonstrations ever held in Washington, came off without a hitch and the "lawbreakers" were complimented by the state police afterward for the professional way that they conducted themselves. I know, I was there. Why did they not enforce Bloomberg's law? Because they did not dare. In June, a firearms expo will be held in Yakima by the group Liberty For All -- a background-check-free gun show -- testing further the resolve of the state authorities to enforce a plainly unenforceable law. Will they dare? We will find out, because WE WILL NOT COMPLY. The lesson of the past two years is clear for anyone paying attention to see -- THERE IS NO UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW THAT CAN BE PASSED THAT CANNOT BE DEFIED, RESISTED, EVADED, SMUGGLED IN VIOLATION OF AND COMPLETELY NULLIFIED BY ARMED CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. And that includes the state of Oregon. This is dangerous ground, truly dangerous ground. But it is not ground that we chose. All the law abiding firearm owners of this country wish is to be left alone. But collectivist control freaks like Michael Bloomberg will not leave us alone. Still, pass what laws they like, they cannot escape from the Law of Unintended Consequences. In Connecticut, the state legislators who voted for their Intolerable Act discovered that when I posted on my blog, Sipsey Street Irregulars, a list of their names, home addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. I discovered something from their hysterical reaction -- people who like to put other people on lists (you know, like the bill you are considering on Monday) do not react well when they themselves get put on a list. Which brings us to you, today. The NRA has sent out a legislative alert. You will no doubt be contacted by many, many outraged citizens. Let me reassure you, this is the least of your personal worries. What you must remember is that we understand intimately, even if you choose to ignore it, that the velvet lies of your "good intentions" are wrapped around the iron fist of the threat of state violence against those who do not comply. Now this is true of any law you pass -- all are backed up by the threat of arrest and incarceration and, yes, death at the hands of the state police if anyone resists your good intentions and refuses the honor of arrest and incarceration. The thing is, we are not your average criminals. In fact, we are not criminals at all, no matter if the last election has placed you in the position of power to declare us so. However, if you make us criminals, we will be the very best, most successful criminals we can be. For we will not comply. For there is a difference, as I have said in speeches in the past, between "the law" and the rule of law as codified by the Founders' Republic in the Constitution. Our natural, God-given and inalienable rights are not subject to negotiation, dilution, diminution or infringement, by you or anyone else. For us, it is the height of cruel irony that those of us who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law find ourselves required to become "lawbreakers" to remain in fidelity to that oath. Again, this is not ground we chose. Michael Bloomberg and his collectivist fellow travelers, domestic enemies of the Founders' Constitution, picked this ground. It is ground we have sworn to fight on, and if need be, die on. The question before you today is this: Is it ground that YOU are prepared to actually fight and die on? If we resist your 'good intentions," how many of us are you willing to see dead in order to enforce your will upon us? And once we and our families begin dying at the hands of the state police you send to our doors, can you blame us if your victims return the favor to the people who sent killers operating under color of law? This is not ground we chose. It is deadly dangerous ground. By your votes on Monday, we will discover if it is ground that YOU choose for Oregon. But kindly remember the words of John Locke, who wrote them nearly a century before the Founders wrote the Constitution: “Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience and are left to the common refuge, which God hath provided for all men, against force and violence.” For there is another law, ancient and unyielding, available to the lowliest slave, and that is Lex Talionis -- an eye for an eye. And history shows that the distance between laws like the one you are considering passing on Monday and Lex Talionis is often unexpectedly short and frequently taken in mortal error. For as the ancient Chinese warned, "Be careful what you wish for, you may get it." Or, put differently, the rule of law protects you from us far more than it protects us from you and your tyrannical intentions. Again I ask, how many of us are you willing to see dead to enforce your "benevolent" will upon us? Understand in advance, if you wish to enforce such a law, you will have to kill us. FOR WE WILL NOT COMPLY. We will greet it with the same tactic that we used to nullify every such law passed since Sandy Hook -- armed civil disobedience. And who do you suppose, after the bodies are all stacked up and the butcher's bill calculated, that history will judge to be guilty for passing such a dangerous, unenforceable "law" that is absolutely destructive of the constitutional rule of law? Us? Or the people who passed it? Sincerely, Mike Vanderboegh PO Box 926 Pinson, AL 35126 http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2015/05/open-letter-to-oregon-house-of.html

I understand that too. Because the fact again I'm not planing on super long extended oil changes. But also I do understand the function differences of bypass filter vs. full flow that include a bypass valve. I would never want to run a filter to full plugged state either.

Frantz Filter being removed.
Trust me Wild & Free I really do understand. That's why I'm looking for a economic solution to this. I could do the redesign my current Frantz Filter and fix its flaws. Or consider a spin on bypass filter that I can get locally. I got to admit the spinner is a nice idea but once again has a few flaws. Initial cost can be rather high for them and also now back to a messy job of cleaning it up again a possibly a leaking o-ring later like my Frantz filter was doing when I pulled it off. The bonus to the spinner is technically there is nothing to buy for the spinner other than o-rings as they wear out. That's why like with the fuel system even stacking two average fuel filters in line is better protection than just the stock filter. So even with stock full flow filter the bypass filter will pick up the other stuff the full flow will not. Of course down to a limit as specified by the design of filter. But even over on Bob the oil guy they are saying as the filter start to fill with debris the filtering ability will improve. Bypass filter don't have a bypass valve like full flows do so they just plug up and quit flowing. I know soot is smaller than 8um but again I'm not going the long haul super extended oil changes.

Well... the 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 has a 46RE trans at 159k miles and only required a governor pressure sensor and governor pressure solenoid. Sad to say there was some debris in the pan but still good condition.

I just spent some serious reading time over on "Bob's the oil guy" and the Common answer to Cummins bypass oil filter is either Baldwin B50 (Wix 51050) or Frantz Bypass (TP filters). Very few people seem to favor the AMSOil bypass because of the cost. Most go with the spin on filter because it much cleaner to deal with a spin on filter than opening a can pulling oil soaked TP roll out. Spin on filters are more commonly available to get without mail ordering. But there is always a argument on how the AMSOil bypass is so much better rating. Like most that do go this route are looking at cost of operation and maintenance TP filters are the cheapest to use, the Wix 51050 is next in line. Like myself I'm not really into the whole super long extended drain intervals just want to give some extra protection on filtering the oil. Like most use the blood cell measurement at 6-8 microns. Most full flow filters are at 20-30 microns. Now lets convert this... 30 microns = 0.001181102 Inch (1.1 Thousandths) 20 Microns = 0.000787402 Inch (0.7 Thousandths) 8 Microns = 0.000314961 Inch (0.3 Thousandths) 6 Microns = 0.00023622 Inch (0.2 Thousandths) 3 Microns = 0.00011811 Inch (0.1 Thousandths)

Kind of like the 3 micron Donaldson Fuel filter I got that still passes debris to my stock 10 micron fuel filter that seem to catch it. The way I look at things a second filter just that extra chance of catching debris in fuel or oil. Like most say I should have it the other way around stock at 3 micron and AirDog at 10 micron. But as you can see it does do something for the fuel. As for longevity the VP44 is still going. Now why wouldn't a 8 micron bypass filter work? When most full flow are more like 20-30 microns. Just another change at picking up some of the debris. I'm still going to change oil at 7.5k to 10k miles.

Sorry to here that... Hopefully you learned how to protect them better. Are you staying in touch with LiveOak (Randy)? He seems to be doing really good.

Well that a problem I don't have a local AMSOil dealer here locally. I'm not going to mail order my oil changes every time that just insane. Like trying to get Fleetguard filters is a 120 mile round trip to Grangeville to the Cummins dealer or 300 miles to Rocky Mountain Cummins. Just to freight part up is getting expensive. Like now I'm got agreements with the local part store which I have account with and mail carrier to deliver parts to me for nothing being I take care of her car. I should not have to mail order a oil change that's just plain silly. Now with speciality parts like injectors, injection pumps yes I can see mail ordering through other vendors like Vulcan Performance or DAP. So when I pay $11.59 for a oil filter and it takes another $20 bucks to be delivered that just not cost effective any longer. Still in all I could just remain stock and be fine. There is plenty of truck roaming around here without a bypass filter that have better than 1/2 million on them. I was flipping over to "Bob the Oil Guy" and reading post about some of the by pass filters and most still favored the Frantz filters. But the spin on style filter like most where making a size comparison like a hair is 80 microns, and blood s 8 micron. So like most said your covering for most of the damaging particles that the full flow is not dealing with. But now looking back now at the Frantz filter now you have such a wide size difference in toilet paper and sealing issues with the core stem and such. How are you going to be sure its working anymore? Again now you chip away cost and add in UOA and now doubled the price of your oil change again. So 10 micron spin on filter. Just peeking at AMSOIl filter cartridge at $50 to $60 bucks is plain out right insane. I don't care how good the name is and how good it filters no way... That's just way too expensive. Then add freight on that its going to be even more expensive. Hell my last oil change cost me $50 bucks for 3 gallon of Valvoline and a NAPA filter. So adding AMSOIL bypass would be better than $100 to $110... Sorry that too crazy. My pockets aren't that deep...

There was a write up here time ago. Where a gent found a spin on bypass filter. He made his own bypass filter. Now I just got to find it in the Blackhole Database.

Yeah now I got to rebuild it again. Darn the luck. So I'll get fresh photos for the truck pictures and re-write the mods.

OMG! My eyes... No it more like all the toilet paper manufactures are changing things like core roll diameter and roll width. At first it was too bad and just change a spacer that Deborah provided me. But now the rolls are too narrow and go into the can too far. Just not sealing correctly any longer. Time to give up. Now that she sold the company and they seem to have custom fit rolls. I'm going to find a simple spin on filter to replace this mess with. Frantz Filter is now up to $469.95 for a price. I'm sure I can find a bypass filter and spin on base to use.
-
Frantz Filter being removed.
I've got a set of shims for the roll diameter differences but I have to now figure out a way to deal with narrower rolls. I can't get the seal to cut into the rolls anymore because they are too narrow now. So the last filter didn't do any good because the seal ring didn't cut into the roll like designed. Basically the can is too deep now.
