Is it worth adding 2-cycle oil to a P7100 truck?
Just as Mike said, it helps lubricate, so it definitely doesn't hurt! It will actually improve mileage a bit as well. I'd do the same as us VP guys and go 128:1 or 1oz of oil per 1 gallon of diesel.

3rd gen tires on 2nd gen truck
I'm going to do my fronts when these wear out. I'm not going to worry about the backs though.

Did you guys buy the same clutch? Those things don't even look close.

Harmonic balancer health?
http://dieselautopower.com/1998-2002-dodge-cummins-5-9l-24v-performance-damper/ I personally wouldn't waste the time on it. And there's no way in heck I'd run electric or no fans. It gets way too hot here when pulling huge loads.

Harmonic balancer health?
I don't think there is physically enough room to fit a belt between the fluidampr and the fan to run a belt..... Not to mention the pulley is wider than the belt.

Harmonic balancer health?
He can't because of the mechanical lift pump. OP yes, you should replace it. An OEM replacement should be just fine!

It's dark my friend.... WHERE ARE THE PICTURES!?!?!?!?

Vibration
Like in the steering? I sure as heck hope not it's new. The ball on the track bar looked fine as well. It might be shot after getting wacked in the wreck. It was like really loose, but I shimmed it up and tightened as tight as I could. Really wasn't planning on it but looks like the DOR track bar might be in my future. You guys have any thoughts on the vibration I posted on the previous page?

Vibration
Well the axle is moving side to side somehow. The steering wheel was in a different location when I was driving straight this morning and it looked to me like the tire was sticking out further past the mud flap on the drivers side. This came after I was turning the wheel back and forth this morning while sitting. Either the hole in on the axle is wallowed out (I don't think so) or the Luke's link is moving somehow. I won't have any help to find out until thanksgiving though.

Vibration
Thanks for the confidence! Now if I could just find time to work on the dang thing! I just put these wheels on. They've been sitting in the barn since summer, so there is nothing wrong with them. I know the axle is shifted to the driver side a bit from the leveling kit, but it wasn't wobbling before so it's got to be something else. Ideally I'd like to adjust the steering box a bit and take it in for an alignment.

Yes. It's weird... when I'm on the throttle or off the throttle the vibration goes away. If I throw it in neutral it's pretty bad though. Driveline?? It also tried to death wobble again

KDP?!
Some had a tapered hole and some had a straight through hole. You just never know!

Boost leak test/check
I'd do around 30. You won't hurt anything.

KDP?!
It can be. You don't really know until you yank the front cover off.

-15* F with a blocked radiator and mine is up to 190 in 15 min of driving. That's weird W&F. I do put something between the intercooler and radiator though so there's literally zero flow through it.

Mine doesn't move unless it's up to 100*. Thanks to the 3cyl idle that doesn't take much time. I have my reasons though!

We all know the limit is the vp's fuel output. Ppumps have proven the head can flow enough air for more power.
