Ugh! That's expensive.

I used ground in my setup but it was bit difficult to get hooked up solid. Look closely at the instructions it will show it.

Curious too.

There is a write up for rebuilding the hydroboost. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/general-cummins/33-brake-system/79-brake-hydrobooster-rebuild

Heck I've got a 5/16" bit zipped tied to a 1/8" NPT pipe tap ready for pyrometer work.

Let's say I'm not huge gun buff nor do I want to be. The pistol I have was my Father's pistol he purchased years ago. I've got fair to good accuracy for self-defense. As for the concealing I could but I hate how uncomfortable it is. Being I've always got a fire radio hanging on my left hip a pistol hanging off the right hip kind of balances out my left to right weight. So as for getting into a different pistol, calibers and stopping power, etc. Out here if its animal and you gut shoot the animal most of the time the haul off to die elsewhere or just firing a round or two in the air typically is enough to make the animal change it's mind.

Here is a bit chart. So a 21/64 would be the closest bit to a R.

Dream on... No one want to drive to Idaho. Especially where I live in the middle of nowhere. Yes. It's true I walked away from the shop I was working with being I was having a disagreement with the shop owner. But I can do my own thing and run my own show. I've got plenty of people I can do work for.

Most here suggest Smarty programmer over Edge for CR Cummins trucks.

I'm in the process of renewing my CCW permit with Idaho. I still carry my 9mm Star Pistol every time I take off from the house. JAG1 was kind of surprised about that. At first didn't realize I had with me and then after then he paid attention to if I was carrying or not. I'm a firm open carry person but have the CCW for the slim chance that I'm caught in a condition that would conceal the weapon. For me it more of a issue locally of the four legger (Animals) messing with you. Then when I travel to the Big City then you have to worry about the two leggers messing with you.

I like the wheels those are pretty sharp looking...

No not currently... But I'm fairly sure with a bit of digging I might be able to address it. (Might...)

Well I got a neighbor that stopped in last night to tell me here sister in New Meadows, ID is have vehicle problems. The vehicle in question is a 2004 Dodge Dakota 4.7L V8. She was explaining a surging issue she has been having issues with. Before I left the house I grabbed my Android Tablet and the OBDLink LX Dongle. So Looking over the vehicle its just a good old used Dodge Dakota and nothing seemed out of place. So I hooked up the OBDLink LX and turned on the ignition and read the error codes. It came up right away with error code number and the generic definition of the code. (Oxygen Sensor) Then I figure I would verify the code is real so making note of the code number I reset the codes. So now I started the engine and let the OBDLink LX read all available PID's and show me live data. This is way nicer than the old ScanGauge II. You can see like 15-20 live data PID's at once. So it was fairly obvious of what was wrong you can see the oxygen sensor in question was stuck at 1.23 Volts and the rest where cycling as normal. Also the code came back instantly. This impressed the owner big time being I was able to pin point the problem without really getting my hands dirty. So she'll be bringing this truck to work on in the near future. So I will have to admit the new OBDLink LX I picked up is a well worth it tool for anyone's toolbox. Works extremely well. The only mistake I should of done was smacked the screen capture function and I would of had all the vehicle data. During the diagnostic period it all ready tapped the Mode $09 area of the ECM and pull the VIN number and year of the truck for me. To me that's awesome to practically have everything in a single diagnostic run. Comparing to the old school Innova scan tool and the ScanGauge II I'm highly impressed with the data this little OBDLink LX Dongle can pull for you!

Nice job. Yeah the color is a bit off. You could of ordered a can of dash paint from most of the vendors and colored it to match. But it's got to be better than looking a shattered dash.

Now if this something EGT gauge could of prevented or is it a designed weakness of the engine that was resolved later in time?

That's some serious carnage. Question to the 3rd Gen gurus what is the cause of this failure?

Geez...

Even my +50HP are fun... Just ask JAG1 about them...

Heading to 200k for my AirDog 150. But I bought it back in 2006 when thing were better back then... Only need 7k more of the VP44 to cross 200k miles.

Russ got it... But sad to say looking at the history of Russ truck it looks like the RusT won though...

I see that the fuel temperature shows up on the Cummins Onsite but its limited to just the ECM. Lots off good data there just limited to Cummins Onsite.

Nevermind... I can't play at all. 243,000 and climbing every day.

If I had time on my side I would consider making a removal tool out of the broken tap. Take notice there is four hollow gaps along the broken part of the tap in the housing. Now carefully mill out the center of the old tap till you have two pins basically to fit into the hollow gap in the broken piece. Before going on I would blow out all debris, lube and heat the part. Now carefully attempt to spin it out broken piece of tap. But that's much easier...

As long at the oil meets or exceeds the minimum requirement of the device... Why not. The only other factor will be is cost.
