I'm on my second set of govenor switches, and it will go into limp mode almost every time for the first drive of the day. I also read that the wire going to the alternater needs to be better isolated from engine. Donald

ahh, got ya. Wish I had of known that a year ago! Donald

Hmm, maybe but my understanding is when you change out your torque and do your valve body that sometimes it increases the pressure over the allowed limit of computer

http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/98-5-02-performance-parts-discussion/305675-transmission-safe-mode.html#post3225568 Here's a little info

No, there is a resistor that people put in to fool the computer into thinking it's running regular pressure. I read about it a while back and now I can't find the thread. Donald

I read a while back somewheres that there's a resister you can put in to allow for higher trans pressure from aftermarket valve body and torque. Does anyone know where I can get one and instructions for install? Thanks, Donald

that's a good idea, I'll try giving them a call

Ok, yes it is an EZ

I think it's an EZ. It's either EZ or Comp, but I think EZ. Donald

programmer problem? Hey guys, my neighbor bought my 60hp edge programmer off of me and put it on his 02. 1 time you start the truck, the programmer is working and will stay working until you start the truck again, than the next time it may or may not work. We checked all connections and there's no corrosion issues, but I don't know what else we could check. Anybody else ever have this problem? Donald

It's like 2500 miles away from me, so I that wont work. I found a head for $250 but by the time you got it checked out, I wouldn't be too far off the price of a new one. There's a complete truck for sale, a 98 dually 2wd, asking $2500 I was thinking on calling about. Donald

Bunch of hairline cracks, not sure if it's warped or not. Donald

I'll see Monday if he can get some sizes off them. I'm think I'm going back to a 12 valve with the inline pump. My head is screwed and it's going to be too much money to put into an old truck. So I'll will be listing some parts for sale soon, 3 month old injector pump, edge juice/ hot unlock, block, crank, etc. I don't know how much work it will be to get the lock-up to work, anybody know rite off hand? Am I crazy going back to a 12 valve? I have an old truck I'm junking is the biggest reason why I'm going with the 12 valve. Donald

Anybody know what they might be?

Ok, I'll call him tomorrow and ask get him to write them down. Donald ---------- Post added 06-03-2010 at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was 06-02-2010 at 09:46 PM ---------- Well, the only thing he can find marked on them is a P, no numbers, no nothing. Any idea? Donald

I have my injectors at an injector shop rite now. He is going to take them apart and clean them. He asked to see if anybody would know the stock#s on the nozzle or any of the aftermarket nozzle #s. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I gotta get this rig figured out before I put her back together. Donald

Well, I think I'm really going to have to give my truck a look over when I put her back together. If I have a boost leak, I can't wait to try this truck without one. I've run duramaxes with programmers and never lost a race yet. My neighbor mechanic has an 02 6 speed dodge with 4" exhaust, otherwise stock and mine will completely destroy it. I do find my truck a little slow to spool up thou. Nothing is ever simple is it? Donald ---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ---------- BTW, Thanks for all your help Mopar!

l'll try and check things out, but if my waste gate was sticking, would she still dump the boost at 28 lbs. Or if I had aair to air leak. To me it seems like I'm getting lots of fuel, but not enough air. Especially when I have the power I have plus high EGTs. I'm totally confused

Well, if I,ve got stock injectors, then I've got one hell of a smoky truck for stock. This thing is dumping its boost on level 3 at 28lbs boost and if I put it on level 6, hot unlock, it will smoke so bad, you can hardy see the car behind you. Now I'm puzzled. Donald And it pulls hard too

Thanks Mopar, I'll have a peek tomorrow ---------- Post added 06-01-2010 at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was 05-31-2010 at 10:22 PM ---------- Got my injector #. It's 0432193629. What size are these? Donald ---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ---------- Got my engine tore down. It was the #5 piston scuffed. Sorry guys I can't do any pics for you rite now. My mechanic couldn't believe it was scuffed with no bass pressure. So off tomorrow to get my block bored and head checked and crank polished and $$$$ all from my own stupidity. Had I spent $1600 two months ago for a bigger turbo, I wouldn't be doing this engine job rite now, and I new better too. Donald

Another hour in the morning and we'll have the motor out. Prediction of my good friend mechanic is a wrist pin bearing. Hopefully by dinnertime tomorrow, we'll know. Donald ---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ---------- I know I really need to put the $ out and get a bigger turbo! ---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ---------- Where on the injector do you look to find out what's in her size wise?

Edge juice with attitude, hot unlock, on stage three, I think it's set at 1500*

So I was coming home from being stateside late last nite bored, (just under 2000 miles in 2 days), and tired and ended up in a race , just to amuse myself, with a little foreign sports car of some sort. After impressing myself with atop gps speed of 121mph, I slowed back down to my cruising speed of around 77mph. About 5 minutes after the run, I pulled into a coffee shop for 5 minutes and when I started my truck, it had a knocking noise in engine. Drove another 150 miles to home, never got any worse. No bass pressure, no filings in bass, besides the noise, it's working perfect. It sounds louder on driver side close to half way. Gonna pull her apart on Monday. What do you think? Donald
