rogan..are you 3.73's or the 4.10's?have you looked into http://www.gearvendors.com/4x4dmanual.html

good job on the m.p.g.'s...another thing i would help thank that to..is all of the winter blended diesel is all used up...the refinery i work at..i have asked some of the lab people over there..and since we .here in s.e. kansas did not have that harsh of a winter like last year...we didnt make that big of a batch of the winter diesel...i notice on my first fill up bout a month ago my m.p.g.'s went up...again ...congrates!!

hers a little help for future reference folks - - - Updated - - - http://nittotire.com/Tire/terragrappler#size

used it for awhile when i had my 03

i have my edge juice with attitude set at two minutes with the turbo timer...plenty of time for folks to get out...

running empty and not pulling..65 up front and 32 in the back...and when i get somwhere i always look at the tires to see how they are wearing...like wearing in the middle..or if they need air or something....i visited with a person one time...he was not running much air p.s.i. up front..i told him at least put 60 to 65 in there sir..i said cause rounds numbers "OUR" engines weight 1,100 pounds.

i use to work out west of Phoenix for awhile..and the beers gon down easy...120 degress..2 to 5 percent humidity...yummy!!!!!!

i use the amsoil Eao 080..along with the heavy duty diesel/marine oil 15w-40..TBN 12....MY 2 CENTS..I LIKE IT...

i got my seal kit off of ebay for $21.00..and it is cummins parts....

i believe if i had a truck with 4.88"s i would be buying a http://www.gearvendors.com/...i bet that thing pulls like a beast!!!!

maybe an air bubble?

suppose to replace every 10,000 miles..and the spin on oil filter of your choice..i use the amsoil EaO O80...change the spin on filter once a year..and not sure if anyone else sells it or not. when i installed mine..the engineer i talked to said there is a 18 wheeler driver who installed two of them on his rig..not sure on his intervals for changing tho..he is running synthetic oil..and not sure how often the company(meaning FS2500) wants him to pull a sample..he has over 500,000 miles on that same oil..and they (sample lab folks) have told him to keep on a truckin!!

dont see many people running what i have..i have the FS2500..i love it!! --- Update to the previous post... http://www.fs2500.com/buyers_guide.html

first thing i do when i get a new..or new to me truck..speaking of the vp trucks here..well i did it to my 03 common rail..was take that junk oem lift pump of and toss..i have always used the FASS H.P.FP. 150..THE P.S.I. is set at the factory..i use the facory fuel filter and housing cause it has the fuel heater built into it...oh..and i use a hasting ff1260 fuel filter.it is for the 5.9 common rails but it has better micron filtering than the one the book shows to use for the vp trucks.

it was time to do a complete coolant flush..so two months ago i did that.newupper and lower radiator hoses..new water pump..and new tstat..190 degree stat.hoses and water pump came from genos..all gates stuff..very happy..installed new 16 p.s.i. cap..and the temp flucatated more than with the factory 15p.s.i...so i left the 15 on..have been told buy different cummins shop foremans at different cummins houses and in different states to see if i would get a different answer..they all said to stay with the 190 degree.

here in my neck of the country it is $3.54....i just got back from O.S.U. in stillwater,ok for firefighter training..cause i am a E.R.T memeber at the refinery i work at...driving nicely..a.c on ..using foot feed cause cruise control surges with smarty and the edge juice on together...3.54 gears..automatic..quad cab s.w.b...4x4..doing the speed limit on it is posted..i got home with 397.7 miles..and i still have a half a tank of fuel left..32 oz. of walmarts 2 cycle.

running the valves is a blast:thumbup2:

and changed the FS2500 filter.the FF1260 is a fuel filter for the 5.9 c.r. trucks.it has a 5 micron rating.and a new valve cover gasket.

gassernomore knows how to do the flush...i do it and i have told lots of folks how to do it and it works awesome...i do pan drop..new filter..adjust front and rear bands ..new ATF+4 every 20,000 miles..180,000 plus miles and never been out ,overhauled nothing.:thumbup2:

yes sir...i like diesel and 2 cycle oil..had this truck since 12-17-09..no hiccups since i have had it running with what was just stated.

had someone tell me to go read this....yalls thoughts?? http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/alternative-fuels-additives-oils-lubricants/479247-running-transformer-oil.html
