Actually I went out to Grangeville, ID today and had lunch out. While I travelled the 120 mile round trip I was stopping along the way to shot pictures with my new camera. I'm going to re-celebrate my birthday and Stephanie (Wife of my boss) birthday tomorrow. I'm Oct 26 and she is Oct 28. So Mom and myself pickup a birthday cake, and some odds and ends. Then another neighbor Betty is making food for the party so I've gotta pick that up in the morning before work. I'll get my pictures posted up tomorrow evening.

Welcome to the site Marc... Did you ohm the leads from the cam sensor to the ECM? Where your reading less than 5 ohms? By chance is there another Dodge owner near you that you might swap ECM with temporarily? Another person you try contacting... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/manufactures-dealer-vendors/12-dealers-vendors/12-th-racing He's really great guy and he's on your side of the line too...

Another birthday that I always forget... October 4, 2007 which happen to be the birth of www.mopar1973man.com as domain. So I turn 44 years old and the web site turned 7 years old.

Thanks Mom...

In my case I had the old 1976 Dodge motorhome for better than 10 years and the day I decided to trade it in both the hoses where leaking and neither would hold air. Same problem a PITA to get your hand into the inner duals to air them up. Grrrr!

Remember if you use any flush chemical do leave them in too long because most are a acid nature to help break loose all the junk. Then make sure to rinse the entire system out really good a few times. In other words fill, drive, and dump a few times to makes sure you get it all rinse out. It really sucks when you don't and the CLR or block flush now eats your head gasket or heater core.

Right on! Nice to see folks here jumping in to help out. Thanks Randy for helping Sara out...

Good. That what I was explaining to him about getting 2 different test show the problem. Then you know your on the right track. Then the compression test will tell if its a cylinder issue or a fuel issue too. It might be a plugged cross over tube or maybe a cylinder issue. But we need the testing to be done. Like Tyler was going to buy a full set of crossover tubes they are not cheap so figure $25 a piece times 6 gets rather spendy fast. So why not do some basic test and isolate some of the issue and find out what you need before buying a bunch of stuff. Just thinking about it Tyler you might ask Pepsi71Ocean about his compression tester.

Ummm... Err... Ummm... I've had one last year where I could tell the chimney was starting to choke right in December but it just snowed so I hung in tight. Next morning I built a fire and wasn't long and smoke was rolling back in the house. So now I'm shutting down the stove and waiting for midday and hoping to climb a slick roof. What I found was the creosote piled up in the exposed chimney area (the coldest part) and created a flap from the side wall that got warm with the starting fire and fall over shut and plugged the chimney completely. Mine wasn't as bad as the video. My build up depth is about 2-3 foot of the top and the rest is smooth and clean below. I don't have any stains. But on occasion I get chunks of creosote that dropped on the roof. Thankfully I've got a steel roof. Funny thing is I re-stoked the fire and now its so flippin' hot in here its like summer time all over again. Ugh. Should of like the darn thing go out.

Between these two test compression and fuel line loosening will give you two different test pointing to the same cylinder. Like I was explaining to Tyler is that if you at least have two different test showing the failed cylinder then you know where to start at.

MoparMom was the one that got me to buy the first camera which began the adventure in web site development and the birth of www.mopar1973man.com. Well after 10 years of service my old Fuji FinePix served me well so it was kind of a shocker to hit a camera shop and find out that the shop suggested another Fuji FinePix again just a updated version. So now I can do wildlife photos now that where impossible to do with the old Fuji. Just didn't have the zoom to get the job done. Now with the new Fuji I've been experimenting with lighting, close ups, zoom,and combinations of things and wow! What a difference. No longer have to stuff a camera down in a dark hole and hope the flash and focus can do the job. Now I can stand back zoom in and all the features of the camera are aiding in producing a OK picture. Of course auto everything is just going to get you by. But I'm impressed with the power of the camera.

Who would know I get to work on such beautiful vehicles that are mostly all original. There are a few that he bought that are modified but still clean and straight vehicles. Few hot rods in there I'm just waiting for the day when he fires some up in the summer and goes for a ride... As for his daily driver it happens to be a 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L V8 Gasser with a 47RE transmission. Already worked on that rig did a manifold gasket and plenum gasket. Then his work / tow vehicle I think is a 2006 Ford Powerstroke 6.0L nice truck.

We've started installing LED flood lighting on the fire truck. So far I'm very impressed with the flood lights.

Yes. You want it return to the module. This returns more fuel right and the suction tip preventing the 1/4 problem. Ask Eric at Vulcan Performance if he has a way to resolve the old filler neck or cap for JIC.

I might have to pick your brain and get a few pointers for shooting pictures. You've got a heck of a camera as well

I've got my little flip phone too. Not bad for pictures really just too much trouble to hook up with bluetooth dongle to download the pictures.

Well as for myself. I started out with a simple pen camera a long time ago which was nothing more than 0.3 Megapixel. Dumb thing only cost me like $30 bucks this was like years ago. Then back when I started the web site I purchased a bit better camera which I've used for over 10 years now to bring all my photos to the web site. It's a Fuji FinePix A205 which I've got a massive 256 MB xD Picture Card. So here in the next few day is my birthday... Yea... I'm going to be 44 years old as of October 26. I finally decided to upgrade cameras now. I've now got Fuji FinePix HS30 EXR. So I'm wonder what you all are shooting pictures with... So here is what I had... To now what I'll be using... http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/s/finepix_hs30exr/

Well just a bit of secret I've got going and I'll let you guys in on it. Since I started working with Lindy doing automotive work for him, I found out about our landlord and his pile of classic cars. So I was introduced to him his name happens to be named Mike too. Well now that I've been working with Lindy since July and Mike has warmed up to me. Mike's got me helping out with working on his classic cars. So, I get to work on some real classic cars and a few custom hotrods too...

No problem... It just my house was built back in 1960's and the existing chimney is old cinder block and clay brick liner. Now stuffed a 6" stainless chimney insert into it has helped but doesn't fix the cold weather months problem it seem like every year around Dec/Jan it start to plug up even though my chimney pyrometer hits 1,600*F and then cooks at about 800-1000*F all day long. But the top of the chimney you can put you hand over the top and its not that warm at all. So it cools quite a bit between the stove and the roof. Which is about 20 some odd feet.

Sad to say I can buy 3 sets (6 bulbs) of Silverstar Halogens for the same price. Price has to come down more before I consider this...

Insider tip... Vulcan Performance provides plumbing pieces for AirDog (I'm pretty sure also FASS too!) So for all your fuel plumbing needs he is the place to go to.

Keep the information coming guys any write ups or pictures would be good.

I've used them in the past just make sure to check tire pressure. I've seen where the extender will leak over time a hose or seal gives up and you end up with a inner dual flat.
