That would be the ultimate function to have a cruise control exhaust brake. But just having a delay for shifting is good.

Thank you for the wonderful comments. But what I need is people to give the BoD ideas, comments, suggestion, etc. So now it might impact the site's future. If people have ideas we would love to hear them and see if we can make this go. Other than that the future is really kind of touch and go right now. Income is the big issues right now. Like I've ask the BoD to find at least 11-15 vendors that want to be part of the site. Well again like Ed mention above that is unbelievably difficult. I'm still attempting to do the advertising more so of the vendors and members. Yes there is a option for a member to advertise their personal business. Then the option for a vendor to advertise his wares. I'm trying to hold out of Google Ads but it seems I'm going to be push that direction to keep paying the bills. Which in turn will make this place more like Cummins Forum banner wise. This why I'm holding out and hoping for the BoD to fill that gap in the income. Did you know MoparMom had to pay for my computer parts this last winter because the site didn't have enough money to pay for them? Did you know in 10 years of doing this I've wore out 4 keyboards and mice already? Did you know the web site as it stands right now is 3.3 GB of information total? Can you imagine the time it takes me to pull a backup weekly from the site to home and store it? What most people don't know is majority of all Web Sites are driven by Linux Servers. So again I took it on myself to ditch Windows and learn Linux OS so I could manage this web site to the best of my abilities. Never taken a class even in my life for HTML Servers, PHP Script, MySQL Servers, web hosting or Linux. I learned it all on my own. This again shows how many man hours I placed into this site and just trying to keep it alive. The only thing I got behind me is my college degree in Computer Science (ITT Tech - Van Nuys, CA.) which was back in the day of IBM 8088 processor 4.77 MHz. (Old School!)

Hmmm... I'll have to look. Be tomorrow when I'm doing my intake gaskets I'll take a peek.

Welcome to the family. Even my +50 HP injectors have been a nice mild upgrade.

Basically this web site was a mistake. The actual reason it started was to be my personal notebook and save me from typing over and over the same answer. So my old school HTML pages became popular and so I added my email address to the pages. Another mistake now my email was filling up and hard to keep up with replying. So in Oct. 4, 2007 I asked for people to pony up cash so I could buy a server, domain, and forum software. Orignal site back in 2005 was www.frontiernet.net/~mopar1973man and only 20 MB of hard drive space. So now I'm still stuck making HTML pages. So in about 2008 I added Joomla CMS and in 2007 I added vBulletin forum software. 2014 I change from vBulletin to Invision Power Board so to keep up with web standards. So my life changed from being the nice guy that gave help to the Cummins crowd to a full time web site administrator. Give you another clue 2014 the profit do NOT have a comma at not even close... So what is the national average for web site administrator? http://www1.salary.com/Web-Administrator-salary.html So now my role and title has changed. So now I'm trying to keep my head up above water and make it worth my time. A article I had hidden for a long time... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/mopar1973man-com-site-information/449-who-is-mopar1973man What more click my LinkedIn link <------

My leveling kit.

The Jacobs brake uses a pin on the ECM for arm/disarming the exhaust brake. So I'm sure there is a way to use that pin. This gives 3 seconds of shift time before engaging.

You might just fine bad wire or other minor issues.

I would like to say "Sorry" as well. It came down to a simple fact we over ran the server (share hosting) like Ed said if there was over 100 people on the server I was booted out and unable to enter to till the volume drop which made my job difficult. But now trying to resolve this took money which I did not have at all. So I was attempt to divide up the jobs and light my load. So I gave the staff a job of handling a damaged file which turn into a argument of "Why did you do this and that?" At that point known I work for nothing for the most part. Being pushed into a corner server wise and then have the staff argue with me on how the site setup. Kind of broke me. So I was man enough to start it... I'm man enough to end it. Well like Ed said people pooled together and within 24 hours came up with the funds to get new server. Again the job not over for me. I now end up pouring WEEKS of time into moving servers, re-setting up, moving domains servers, moving database servers, moving email servers. Setting up each one, testing and securing everything. So now completed the move at the beginning of March. This includes be on the phone with both server companies for hours hashing out the move and getting server setup and tore down. We now have a new home but at current standing more or less can cover about 9 months with all the current bills and the money runs out. So I've got BoD now hunting for vendors that are willing invest ad dollars in the site. I've got one member that created 15 badges to be sold which I'm waiting to see in the mail soon. Truly in all the years of owning this domain (Oct 4, 2007) I've never made a profit. The one year I did make a little profit I had custom shirts made for the existing staff and windshield banners for Christmas Gift. (Late Gift). But that was the only time... So now all the bills have gone up but the income is still very weak and limited. So this why we closed up some what and giving paying/donating members more of the pie than the free members. But again like Ed said it was voted on by the BoD to make changes. This does take a bunch of weight off me and gives it back to the site to work on it. So I'm more or less a Web Site Administrator that is work for peanuts (worse than that at times). So now you can see why I'm was willing to give it up. Ed is probably the only one that knows of how many hours I laid in bed with my laptop working into the late hours of the evening resolving issues and problems on the site. It actually what the BoD say now. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/mopar1973man-com-site-information/471-donations-membership http://articles.mopar1973man.com/mopar1973man-com-site-information/472-staff-members

Yes. Then you can plumb your air brake line from there. Also make sure you set the needle valve to delay the needle rise for about 1-2 seconds getting to full pressure.

Now the question is, Where is the leak? So if I was in your shoes I would by a can of freon with the dye in it. Now run the A/C for a good 5-10 mile trip. Then park the truck in a shade or dark shop. Grab a black light and go hunting for the dye. Majority of the system you should be able to view under the hood. Now as for evaporator that is the only piece you have to remove from the box to see. So if nothing pops up under the hood then most likely a evaporator issue. You might find the tell tale signs of greasy parts too.

Tapped Banjo Bolt -> Needle Valve (WH6820) -> Male 1/8 NPT to Compression 1/8" tubing -> 5 feet of Air Brake Line -> Female 1/8 NPT to Compression 1/8" tubing -> Gauge Because the air isn't trapped in the fuel system. As pressure goes up and down the air is replaced with fuel automatically. But on a isolator system the air is trapped in the coolant side and never get out. Not to mention thee isolator typically takes on water hammer damage eventually.

I typically just left the fitting on the gauge loose and bled it out and tighten the fitting up. But after awhile I gave up bleeding the air out. All the brass is found typically in a NAPA store. The tubing is 1/8 air brake line (rated burst strength of ~600-800 PSI). Tapped banjo is normal found at Geno's Garage or Vulcan Performance.

Holy Cow look at that HUGE hose for a fuel pressure gauge! Mechanical Gauge setup... My Current Electric Gauge Setup.

I would be getting a live data tool and watching the rail pressure and lift pump pressure and see what's going on. I know that 3rd Gen's have rail pressure sensor which I'm not exactly sure how it effects the trucks performance if it bad. Russ has a good point of the fuel cap being possible. Tank vent's are typically vacuum release but not pressure. So now I got to ask is it possible there is cylinder pressure leaking back into the fuel tank through the return rail of the injectors. Most likely a bad copper shim?

P0622 is strictly the alternator circuit.

You'll have to cut and paste it here. My browser is being picky with the way back machine.

Even just the basic information is better than none. I keep seeing all these old boxes floating around on forums and I figured I would start to create a article of some of these units.

OBDII is the current standard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-board_diagnostics

More? Anyone?

There you go. The article got lock some how on my last visit.

Because I moved it... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-12v-dodge-cummins/71-interior/473-custom-gauge-installation

Fire it up on youtube I want to hear this...

What error are you seeing?

I can tell you that all the years of running straight pipe 3" exhaust everyone always was shocked at how quiet my truck was. Now they are really blown away because there is more turbine noise now and way less drone and exhaust noise.
