  1. it doesn't come off at all or barely vibrate
  2. Thanks for the replies I think it's an issue only because I have a 7.3 Ford idi that had blow by a bit worse and ended up having bad rod bearings, rings and valves so I'm a bit apprehensive when I see this its a beautiful truck never beatin it was used all its life for transporting two Morgan horses I love this truck and just have to check but you all know how I feel because you to love the Cummins
  3. Yes the 4x4 works good doesn't like going out all the time and the heater vent seems to work good I use the a/c and it switches fine if I stomp on it it will get closer to 55-60 but never over that also when I first start the truck for the day the oil is at about 42 psi but drops to about 35 when warm. truck doesn't hesitate at all
  4. I have a 99 Cummins with 109,955 miles on it. I have noticed I had white smoke coming out of the blow by tube but not anything noticeable unless im stopped for a few minutes. if I take the oil cap off it blows a little white out of it but not like clouds of it. So next I did the oil cap test and removed it and flipped it upside down and it didn't bounce around or move (except a little due to vibrations of the engine). the truck runs awesome no lack in power perfect pick up and go, it doesn't smoke except a little black on start up and doesn't eat coolant or oil. No knocking either. The oil pressure is around 30-35 at idle and at normal cruising speeds of 55mph at around 1800 rpm its around 40-42 and the temp never rises above 192. my question is, is this normal im new to Cummins and should I worry
  5. Yes I did delete the resonator and the muffler the tick has seemed to work itself out but now like I said im new to Cummins and my 99 has white smoke out of the blow by tube not a lot but noticeable at a stop and idle only when it gets hot. The truck has no loss of power or hard starts no smoke except a little black puff on start up. If I take the oil fill off there is a small amount of white smoke out of it but I did the cap test placed It upside down and it didn't move or blow off just vibrated from the motor my question is is this something to worry about or is it ok I hold perfect temps and oil pressure all day can drive it 50 miles at 60mph and it stays fine. I will start a new thread to
  6. have you ever heard a ticking out of the tail pipe on yours
  7. i have a 1999 cummins with 109,956 on it. The truck starts runs and performs awsome and holds its oil pressures and temp perfect, and it doesn't ever smoke no white blue or black. MY issue is that it has a straight pipe on it and its only 3 inch due to the muffler and cat rotted and removed due to lack of funds to replace them, and now the truck has what sounds like a tick that comes out of the tail pipe. And mostly only when idle. the motor bay is quite with no ticking or knocking anyone have any clue. ps this is my first cummins so i dont know what it should sound like.
