Question on RV roof repair
Here is what I used to re-treat my roof on my RV. As for the tears or damage you should use a self-leveling Dicor sealant. http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/dicor-white-rubber-roof-acrylic-coating-gallon/32151

Towing a 24 valve truck when broke down
A lot of people tow 4 wheel drive vehicles behind RV's and over the road trucks and typically just toss the transfer case in neutral and tow on.

Iat and mpg fooler
Correction... Just think though the money the oil companies, federal taxes, state taxes and special interest groups would lose if this took place. Like where I work at with Lindy the Landlord (Mike) has a shop full of collectable cars. I look at simple machine that we came from back in 1960-1970's to todays junk where you can even find the engine any longer so it meets EPA rules. The fact is that the better the efficiency of the vehicle, then less fuel your going to burn and less emissions (smog) your going to create. So I actually look back and forth between what we had back in the 1960-1970's to what we have in the 2000's is a utter and complete joke. Great ideas with computers and such but once again if the vehicles were efficient there wouldn't be any pollution nor any profit for others listed above.

Silly question why doesn't this trick come stock. Why do we have to add all the stuff we do to make things better? Because the EPA and smog rules. The government can careless if we efficient but as long as we meet EPA rule then they are happy. Just like the DPF's and EGR valves... Flash is only required for the high idle feature.

Strange bobbing of the fuel pressure gauge?

Strange bobbing of the fuel pressure gauge?
Now that I've done the electronic gauges wit electric sender lets see how good I did and if I'll have any problems with my setup. I kept my needle valve, added the snubber as supplied with the ISSPro EV2 fuel pressure gauge and also remote mounted the sender to the fender. (The old vibration story. ) All my tubing is still 1/8 air brake line. So far I've had zero issue with bouncing gauge reading and still right on the 16-17 PSI just like my old DiPricol gauge did for 10 years. But I've barely got the system setup so let some time go by and we'll see. But I'm also still leaning on the idea of cavitation with none returning pump vs. returning pump like my old AirDog.

Brutus is down :(
Hey Randy, Pop testing injectors is typically free. It's only when the injector has to be tuned is when money comes out of pocket. Usually about $9 to $15 a injector. Through DAP its $71.50 a injector for RV275's. Through Vulcan Performance its $70.60 per injector.

Cracked dash
I want to hear more... How about installing and fitting? How using what materials?

Myself included. I like to attempt to keep the truck looking good.

Thanks... Surprised how the bracket turned out and how well it fit under the hood.

Help! Truck dead as a doorknob.
Basically the clutch switch provides the ground or power to the starter solenoid relay. So I would suggest you fix the switch or replace it. I would test all thee fuses under the hood with a ohm meter and verify the fuses all have 0 ohms of resistance. I've seen fuses crack and become a open circuit and not appear blown with the black burn on the window.

Cracked dash
I know that Dripley had done a full dash replacement (I'm pretty sure). There was a few other members that did caps on top.

Other causes of T/C lock unlock
That's why I always suggest pulling both the field leads (green and blue wires) and the alternator fuse because now both circuits are completely dead.

antifreeze... long and short
Like here is what I would pickup right now since its a fair price. It's universal coolant so it can go either way. http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx/Antifreeze-Extended-Life-Universal-Gallon-Full-Strength/_/R-NAF1EXT_0417578537 A matter of fact we use the same stuff down at the shop.

I know LMC truck got something but their site is being slow for me right now.

Gauge Time ISSPro EV2's
Now you know why I did it. Being that even Eric was suggesting that I remote mount the fuel pressure sender off the engine. Might as well do both senders (boost pressure and fuel pressure).
-
antifreeze... long and short
This isn't caused from the coolant but the lack of changing the coolant. Over time the coolant becomes corrosive and starts eating metals in the cooling system. All the coolant does is prevent boiling and freezing. As for pH level that can only be resolved will system flushing. The coolant becomes corrosive from every time you crank the start your passing a high current through the block and charging the cooling which like a battery more the charge the more acidic and more dead the battery the more like distilled water.

Nope... Not happening. I'll find a dash cover or cap one way or another.

Anal or advisable transmission install?
I've installed lots of clutches but never seen any of this kind of damage. I never measure and on rare time I've been known to install clutches without a alignment tool. But I always look to see if the transmission mates up with the bellhousing normally and fully before putting bolts in. I've seen people with over 2 inches to go and get longer bolts and pull the transmission in binding or not.

Cracked dash
Geez... I'm not getting break here. Well just finished my gauge project and now found my first crack in my dash on the passenger side of the truck. I was doing a bit of surfing the forum and links of dash providers seem to of gotten old so I'm going to ask all you what you used for dash replacement, caps, etc.

Other causes of T/C lock unlock
Sometimes you got to diagnose things on the fly. Like I'm suggesting to another Dodge owner to hook a fuse line to the alternator BATT post and bring it in the cab. Then hook up your digital meter and watch the AC noise level in flight and see if the noise comes and goes like the transmission does.

Gauge Time ISSPro EV2's
Finally... I got all my wiring, bracket, and other little things done. What I'm loving is both senders are not on the engine at all. I've installed the snubber just after the needle valve. Boost sensor is also relocated on the bracket. Used all push-lock fittings and 1/8" air brake line again. I love the daisy chain electrical plugs awesome idea. All electrical securely connected and tied down. Once again Thank You Eric @ Vulcan Performance for the wonder gauges and the custom bracket.
