  1. Just checking. Try some PB Blaster or similar, let it soak then get a BFH and smack it pretty good. Or the red and green wrench!
  2. I have a friend with 315/75R16 Baja Claws with a 2.5 level kit and he gets a little rubbing on the back part of the fender on the passenger side when turning really sharp. I plan to get some 315s as well, just not sure which ones yet. With my 285s I get 18 MPG!!
  3. You can suck on the CAD unit to tell if it is working okay. As for the vacuum lines, I'm not sure which does what, but I'm sure if you started the truck up and got under it, you could tell if you are getting vac like you should.:thumbup2:What is it doing anyway?
  4. I've had two from DAP. First one died, second one was replaced under warranty. It did take Midwest Fuel Injection a little while to get me a new one rolling, but they did and it seems to work fine. I think Jacob is getting better at answering his phone too, or at least that's what I've been told!
  5. When you say hubs, are you meaning where the wheel bearings are that have 4 bolts holding them on? Like this: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/PRE1/515062.oap?year=2001&make=Dodge&model=Ram%2B2500%2BPickup&vi=1400072&keyword=wheel+bearings+%26+seals&pt=03338&ppt=C0337 Just wanting to make sure we are on the same page first. A big hammer is what I've used in the past. They can be rusted on there and be a pita to get off!!!:banghead:
  6. I'm curious on how you have a 96, 24v Cummins??
  7. Umm.... I've got the flash and mine seems to work fine....??? I don't have another one to compare it to, but it seems the same before and after the flash!
  8. This is what I'm thinking.... Does the truck start okay??
  9. Yeah I'm thinking an ECM problem. Could be a cam/ crank sensor too, or a dirty fuel filter... or a bad wire...
  10. Are you having some starting problems or something?:shrug:I would say as long as you don't get much above 20 psi it would be fine. You may be able to go more, but I'm not that lucky!
  11. Well for one thing you NEED a fuel pressure gauge!!!!!! I would try to remove the Edge just to see what happens. Also have you changed the fuel filter?
  12. I run an oil sample at every oil change. The first one came back clean but the turbo only had 150 miles on it. I'm not too worried to tell you the truth. About everything you buy is made in China and such, so it doesn't bother me too much. If I could have afforded something better, I would have; but I needed a turbo as the stocker was toast!! And being a college student doesn't help with funding!!
  13. That is a generic HX-35/40 hybrid turbo from dieselautopower.com. Seems to work pretty well for the price of $330.
  14. Maybe, I've heard so many different things about floating, but I do it all the time in my NV4500, no problems yet!
  15. The NV5600 is nice and I like how it floats gears. Plus having the extra spacing in the gears is handy too. But the NV4500 is lighter, cheaper, and easier to find parts for. The NV5600 is rated for more power but the 4500 can be beefed up with aftermarket parts and the Torque King can fix the 5th gear problem!
  16. That's what I would think too as the sensor has to have a change in resistance to work.
  17. It should, they are suppose to be good gauges even though my friends 3 in 1 doesn't make any sense how the gauge mounts into the pod...:banghead:
  18. When I drove a friend's truck with the NV5600 it felt shorting and easier to shift than my NV4500... I really like it and floating was easy too!!
  19. Hey, Awesome to hear man, let me know and I'll get it headed your way! Later, Winslow
  20. That is wild!!! I would hate that to be my truck, man that would suck for sure. Lets not have any respects that guys!!
  21. Tell me about it. It doesn't look on the gauge to be too high, but you never know. What's strange is it doesn't do it all the time. I might try the lift pump idea and see what happens. I've tried not to let it bother me as that will only make my mad, but figured I would try to get some ideas on it!
  22. Everyone,Well my truck has done this for a little while, but thought I would ask and see what people say. The truck starts great in the morning everytime. It seems to mostly do the harder starter (when it has to crank a few more times to start) when the engine is warm. I'm going to start to watch and see if that is a rule with it or not. The VP is new for the second time on 7/23/2010 from Midwest Fuel Injection. The first one was replaced on 1/11/2010. Fuel pressure is good, no codes and the truck runs great otherwise with high 17s or 18s mpg on average. Any thoughts guys??:shrug:Also I should say it did this a few times after I put the new VP on, then I tighten the injector lines and it didn't seem to do it again. But recently I started doing it again. Doesn't always do it and it doesn't seem to matter if the truck is facing up or down hill...:ahhh:Thanks,Winslow
  23. I would reset the apps and see what happens. It could be a bad apps or a bad wire. Might want to pull the plug and put some dielectric grease inside of it just to make sure that isn't a problem!!
