I hope its display related. Thats one area that's long overdue for a fix.

Could be the Tune your running now that the VP is wiretapped. I've had the truck do this and found I hadn't loaded the tune properly. Just a thought.

gonna wiggle it now

Has the killer grid heater bolt fixed with later 4th Gens? I picked up a '21 3500 and thought I heard Doge had fixed it.

BTW after investigating it was cylinder #2 that was seeping fuel. Removed the intake horn/grid heater and the fuel line was way loose at the head. Can't believe I didn't tighten this down properly. I recently did an injector upgrade and must have neglected this step at some point during the buttoning up process.

You might want to also consider a new steering box. Installing a redhead box helped tighten up my steering big time. Enjoy driving this thing down the road now. I can practically 2 finger the wheel when cruising even while towing now.

Thank you kindly to both of you. Going to have to locate a low profile crowfoot wrench to verify torque settings. Some of those clearances are tight.

Anyone else experience a loosening of fuel injector lines over time? I just started to smell some diesel fuel in/around the cabin and checked the lines to the head and saw some droplets around the injectors on the intake plate. Checked the tightness of some of the injectors and some weren't snugged all the way. I can only think they've loosened up over time due to general engine vibration but surprised that they did. Is there even a reqd torque spec on these? Thought they just had to be good and snug. Thanks Mark

Yup, go with TIMBO. I purchased directly from their website and got free shipping. Mark

Anyone out there with a 1 ton Cummins with the Aisin recommend it for truck camper hauling or will the 68rfe trans handle it fine? Think the Aisin is likely overkill for a 3000LBish truck camper in the back but not certain either. I'm looking to purchase a 4th Gen 3500 short bed as I want the rear leafs for my camper. Haven't seen much info on 1 tons with truck campers with the Aisin. thanks...mark

there's some leaking at the tappet and minor seepage at the vacuum/PS pump. I'm sort of in a mode now to just fix things when they break but probably makes sense to in this instance to take care of it all.

All - planning a VP44 replacement soon and I'm wondering while in the vicinity if I should take care of a few other things. Namely tappet cover gasket, vacuum/steering pump seal, cam sensor. Think this "while i'm there" question has been asked a million times. What say the folks here?

I converted my truck a few years back to the Sport quad bulb setup w/relays. With 50% more bulbs than the stock lights it surely made a difference. However, i just picked up some Fahren LEDs to see if this helps even more. I may be falling victim to some LED marketing here but LEDs weren't that expensive and I'm surely swapping out halogen bulbs way too frequently.

Awesome to see a plan come to fruition. I bet that convoy turned some heads! Well done sir. Mark

Just might have to do that! Taking the Lance TC out this weekend to a ski hill. First time in the snow.
