WOW! That is lucky!! When I replaced the bed on mine I got one off of an '02 that was a take off for $500!

The first thing I would do is adjust the valves. Sounds like you have a cylinder or two that are imbalanced compared to the others. It could also be an injector issue or even a VP problem!

You need to get the waste gate opening to drop the drive pressure and quite possibly install a larger turbo (or even two!!).

A Dave G transmission really isn't that much! $3550 for a 47RE. Here are the details: http://www.goerend.com/internalparts.php

Why you make fun of my relatives??? LOL Good one!

So, what did you do to get it to pass?

Oooohhhhhh, Don't expect to have much more than a stock tranny from there. If I were you I would either contact Dave Goerend (www.goerend.com) or DTT (http://www.dieseltrans.com/) for a tranny that you will be much happier with.

Russ, I had the same problem with my truck and fiver. Anyone beside me could not see any turn signal. What I did was put the semi lights (clearance/turnsignal) on the front of the fiver just behind the truck, put LED arrow lights on the mirrors (got them at K-Mart for about $5). The only problem I had with them was figuring out how to make them work for turn signals only. I wound up putting relays in to run them. They would not run off the signal itself. I don't understand how the signal power for the front lights would run a relay but not the LEDs. Anyhow, I have since added a headache rack with lights too!

Man, I miss seeing scenery like that.... Oh, BTW, you NEED to clean your windshield!!

Crank your starwheel to the rear of the pump and you should be fine. Once done with the testing you can put it back.

Off the record they might tell you that, but far as warranty....... The way things are you would be hard pressed to find a dealer that won't void your complete warranty in the computer so that no dealer will honor it.

What, you never heard of "Global Warming"?????BTW, it is 51* here now......

Also check the return line behind the head. Mine did the same thing, but I could see a steady stream of fuel when it was running.

As another proud UNION member (United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 11) I say to you Don GREAT JOB!!! Unions are a great thing for ALL workers (even though some don't think so). That shows that we can and do work with companies to help make the profitable! Far as the comment about the current administration, the TARP was his predecessor's work............

What? The Sheriff's Department??? Tell me more........

So, what kind of work do you do CSM?

Yea, crude doesn't smell very good at all........

If it is stock, no, it should not smoke like that. Check for any boost leaks you can find. There is also a possibility that there is an injector problem too......

Good one!!

Head north on I35! 53* and rain as I type this.......

Yes, Dripley, the fuel can have up to 20% bio. Also, I had a 1994 CTD in my garage for two years with a full tank and it ran just fine.

You mean your oil pressure gauge goes to zero? That would be either the pressure sender or the ECM. You can verify the pressure with a mechanical gauge too. --- Update to the previous post... jdawgndad: It's possible you are losing grounds to the PCM itself there for the relay is not getting grounded properly

Around here the state says ALL diesel fuel is supposed to be a minimum 2% bio.

Sorry, but I didn't get any pictures either. Once you get the sender in your hand it really is 'self explanatory' for what you need to do. On one of them (I repaired three so far) all that I need to do was flip the wiper over and it worked again. Take a look at this for a better visual: http://dodgeram.org/tech/repair/fuel_sender/sender.htm

A couple of months shouldn't be a problem. A couple of winters ago my truck sat almost all winter (only put 400 miles on) and had zero problems with the fuel.
