Ca smog and lift (tranfer) pump codes
Level 0 if I remember right will not smoke at all. Our sled puller running 150hp injectors, smarty, and adrenaline would barely haze on the no smoke tune

Clutch adjustment
Just replace the hydros with hds. Then if your clutch goes out, change it. Not worth the extra money to go back stock
-
Clutch adjustment
If you have aftermarket hydros, there is an adjustment. If its stock, your hydros might be getting weak

brake problems?
Are you sure its your front brakes? If your drums are out of round they will act like its locking up. (cant tell what year you have)

ABS Sensor
Never had a single problem changing one side

Hard Start Hot or cold.
Actually third gens use flow not pressure. I have seen them start and run on very little fuel I would ask how they tested them. Most likely they did a balance test and that wont help in this situation I know there is a flash on the manual trans trucks for the crank sensor not pickup up right away but cant remember what years it was.

Did you test injector return?

Hard Start Hot or cold.
Is this an auto or manual. I cant read signatures on my phone

Hard Start Hot or cold.
You gotta have a special tool to do the test. I would torque the connector tube nuts first and see if that helps

No it will not cause any damage. There is an injector return test. If he had an injector leaking into the clyinders, he would have smoke and a crank case full of fuel

Hard Start Hot or cold.
If its still hard starting, most likely you have too much injector return. Its bleeding the rail pressure back into the return and isnt letting your fuel atomize correctly. Try taking all the injector lines off and torqing the connector tube nuts to 37 ft lbs.

Put trigger wire to wiper fuse. Then come back if you are still having hard starts

Scanner for OTR trucks
I dont think there is such a thing. Trucks have a totally different system that i think is very protected. Meaning you have to buy a fancy scanner and the adaptors. When i worked at a diesel shop we had a OTC scanner and like 6 adaptors. A guy i work with says freightliner is making even harder for generic scanners to read codes on their trucks

Fuel Efficiency of the 04.5-07....
Did you swap your cam without any other mods? Just curious on mileage improvement. When i had my 06 i wanted to swap cams but ended up selling it

24v No start issue
If it runs with the pump on the wiper fuse then run it. Fass is the one that actually says to run it this way for hard starts What way of wiring are you talking about from the blue chip article. I have skimmed through the article but its been awhile

Removing the Fuel Relay
Put the t-case in neutral, that always fools me even when i do it and totally forget i put it there i like the clutch pedal switch

24v No start issue
Wire you fuel pump so that the trigger wire is fed from the wipe fuse that way it shuts the lift pump off while cranking. I have been fixing hard start issues this way

Injector Failure..............Early Signs
Depends on idle time, quality of fuel (lube) and filtration. I have seen 20-30k all the way up to 300k+

Injector Failure..............Early Signs
I always replace on sets espcially when the pickup will only start on ether. I have replaced single injectors under warranty and you end up replacing more shortly after. Chrysler started sending us six packs of injectors that way there is less of a chance of a come back

Best cummins?
98.5 was 24v My choice is 03-04 6 speed, than 06 mega auto, 98 12 valve 5 speed. I need the bigger cabs to haul the kids
-
Truck doesn't start first try... always did before...
Wire your sinal wire of your airdog to the wiper fuse. I have fixed a couple hard starts by doing that
-
VP failure?
Verify pressure with another gauge. Kinda wondering if the computer in the vp is going bad. Pour water over the top of the vp when it acts up and see if it starts

AC gauges and vacuum pump
I hated a/c and we had the fancy machines. I could never find leaks. Just as hard were evap leaks and the stupid smoke machines

Considering a Excursion
Every 7.3 i know of goes through glow plugs. They are the worst at starting in the cold. Glow plus, valve cover gaskets, and glow plug relays. I see it all the time. That is my personal experience
