  1. Thats me now.
  2. What does 5 gal cost. I can get 1 gal for 10.00 when it is on sale. That is valvoline premium blue 15/40
  3. Where are you both getting it from if you dont mind me asking
  4. I use 1 gal jugs. Do you want my old ones? They are valvoline pre blue 1 gal jugs.
  5. LOL, i should of said service manager. I will call him monday. If he has a print out i will stop in on wednesday and pick it up for you. It is 40 min away so i cant get there until wednesday.
  6. I have a friend at a dealership i will call him if you want. These guys are down to earth. I took the service head for a hell ride (during his work hrs) up to 100 mph and he loved it.
  7. How many miles did you get out of it ? Is it now sounding bad?
  8. Today i put 2170 lbs in. I set the airbags to 40 lbs. It went down 1 and 1/2" when full.
  9. I have heated seats and the driver side broke, i researched and found i need to replace the unit in the seat. It has a nasty rip too.
  10. I worded it wrong. You dont drill out the inside. You drill a vary small hole clear through it. By doing that you trick the waste gate.
  11. http://www.bluechipdiesel.com/vp44_diagnostics.html More reading for you.
  12. Your not sounding stupid at all. Read this, it is at the lower part of the page. http://www.mwfi.com/vp44.htm
  13. Check engine light is a "hard code". Most of the time it is something that should be checked soon. Soft codes like 0500 or a boost code will not make the cel come on. I get 602 with 1693 and 0500 all the time with no cel.On a side note you can drill out the boost elbo to get more. When i had my hx40 i did that to get it up to 50lbs. Start small if you do,better yet have another elbo in case your not happy. Remember 45lbs is pushing the head gasket limits. My hg poped at 55lbs but i did that for a few months everyday.
  14. injection pump. The bad news is they are 950.00 and up. Better make sure you are 100% correct the pump is bad. Thats big money.
  15. Iam not sure if you know about the timbo apps. It replaces the factory 425.00 part with a 150.00 part. I run timbo apps, i ve had them for a few years no trouble. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/threads/1527-Timbo-APPS
  16. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/59-obdii-error-codes?limitstart=0 You can go to Mopar Articles. It is on the main page here. You can replace the pump your self it is not that hard. We can help you, thats why we all get together here.
  17. But they can go 900k miles. The engine is a work horse. Sometimes i think it a wash with vp trucks.
  18. All i have to say is, i had a copper oil pressure gauge line that ran from the engine into the firewall to my dash. The harmonics from the engine ran down that line and i could hear the clack of the diesel in my cab. I cut a rubber hose in 1/2 and snaped it on the line the entire length and the sound went away.As far as your problem ,maybe you moved something else in the process of your tape job.(if you cut a slice in a rubber hose it will last longer than the tape) The first thing that came to mind was cv joint or u joint or the exhaust pipe hitting the tranny crossmember. My exhaust pipe was hitting the tranny crossmember and i could feel it on my feet,then i figured u joints, only because if you feel it in your butt or feet most times it is a u joint going bad.
  19. If you can move the lines apart cut a rubber tranny line hose and slide it between them. It will snap in place.
  20. I am with you, she didnt appeal to me either. But thats my take on all musicians. I just listen to the music. It is sad to see them go down with drugs.
  21. Trust me i am all man. I can earn them points back if you see this. http://www.competitiondiesel.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69407&highlight=drill+bit+size --- Update to the previous post... Dont tell me you own her box set of cd's and are trying to deflect the attention on me.
  22. Well than..you are excused, however i dont think you are applying yourself :tongue:Dont forget my musical roots are; Iron Maiden, Sabbath,Hendrix, Grateful Dead.Etc.
  23. Oh come on, not one song?
  24. Lets face it we are men,we like man stuff. There is always a soft under belly side we hate to admit. Here is your chance. With the death of Whitney Houston i will admit i really like at least one of her songs. Lets post our favorites, mine is "I have nothing". It gives me the warm and fuzzys. 1:20 and again on 3:11 cant forget 3:44 hits me with the man hammer every time. Please list yours.
