Not only the ECM, but it can also harm the PSG on the top of the injection pump!

vp44 and hy35 questions
Sounds to me like it's a used VP....Frankstein am I right? If it is used and he will let you get the truck running before buying I would buy it... Trying to get a little bit off that price though!

Alternaror noise test article
Here's the two videos. I just hook the positive lead to the positive stud on the back of the alternator and the negative to the passenger battery terminal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UveGtGuswBw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6w0WF5wr2g

MAP sensor
02... Thanks for the offer though! I see what I can do. Maybe magic will happen and it'll start working again

All my buddies sold theirs because their parents got tired of funding them. I'm the only one left because I pay for my own crap

It does plugs in to read boost for the display and let the TST know when to start fueling, but the power comes from a fuse tap.

Weird Water Temp Readings
Good point... it's not a tow pig. I haul around my antique tractor to shows and pulls during the summer, some hay hauling now and then, and snowmobiling during the winter. My clutch never engaged when it was at 209?? I wonder if a fan clutch from a 3rd gen would fit it?

MAP sensor
Anyone ever have trouble with their MAP sensor sticking?? My TST is reading 3-4psi at all times now Can I clean it or just toss it and buy another?

Diamond eye exhaust
I welded my own brackets onto the exhaust when I reworked my tailpipe. I would use all of the brackets you can...as time goes on you'll thank me. If all of the weight is on a couple hangers it will wear the rubber out.

Weird Water Temp Readings
Thanks for the replies guys! I'll keep an eye on it and report if it acts funny again. I think when the motor comes out she's going to get a 200 T stat though.

Radiator is spotless, and it was 43deg. 1100 on the EGT should be nothing for that big radiator to handle!

Weird Water Temp Readings
Alright guys little story behind this... I left the mountain from snowmobiling today and about 20min into the drive I started the long trek up the 7% grade 5 miles long at 11,000ft elevation. By the time I got to the bottom of the grade my thermostat had obviously opened (Saw temps rise to 195 then backed down to 190). So, doing 70 with the EGTs at 1,100 degrees constant I look down and see the water temp rising... usually this is normal and it creeps to 195-197 then settles right in that area. This time it kept rising and topped out at 209. It then held that for about a mile, then dropped down to 195 and didn't rise again the rest of the way up the mountain. I don't think this is normal... Is my thermostat failing??

You literally have to crush the pipe down to make them work. That's why I prefer the band style clamps!

All dodge wheels will work up to 2014. That's when they changed the hub size. I'm running 2012s

Washed, put on the badge and waxed. Thinking about moving the badge to the door though. Any thoughts guys?

Just took some pictures but they turned out terrible. I'll try to get more later.

I run a 4-6" tip. If you would like a picture let me know. IMO it's the biggest you can go before looking ridiculous.

If you have a metal shop somewhere near you they might cut it for free, you would just have to measure!

Valve seals
I like to be sure... Not really. Removing the head is a pita!

I would remove the injectors anyway to make SURE the piston is a TDC. I just use a long zip tie in the hole and rotate till she stops coming up
