I am in the basket with absolutely no regrets.

The needle valve should not pull the pressure down any.

I can only add this. cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/electrical/list-of-verified-and-reliable-pc The link did not work but the article is in the articles section under 2nd gen, electrical.

If you left it plugged in overnight it is possible the truck was warm enough that it only stayed on briefly, like a couple seconds. Easy to miss if you are not looking right at it. .

I would say you are welcome but it seems you have solved the problem yourself. Good to hear all is well.

You ought to see it at key on no matter what. It will come on briefly no matter what the temp is.

3:55. I don't think 3:73 was even an option.

Mine came stock with the 265's and I see 2000 rpm at 70. Google "tire calculator" and you can compare sizes. You can get taller but you will have to get a lot skinnier to even come close to the same weight even if it is possible. New wheels would be in order also.

I chose the red because it matches the oe.

What is your WTS light doing? On at key on or delayec?

Mine ssre black with red needle. One of thesed says I am going to put the green hoods on the lights and the tick marks will match the oe gauges.

I re reasd and stand corrected. May be I had too much coffee this morning. This does make better sense than what I thought you were trying to do.

Unless you have something odd on your truck you should have 3:55's on there. What rpm are you seeing at 70 mph? Mine sees 2000 rpm at 70 with 3:55 gears and 265 75 16's. Your 285's ought to run a little lower than mine,

Yes you would be fine either way. I personally just have the valve but have thought of adding a snubbed but not to worried about it.

If you don't want to,cut the the radiator cap just put it on with a quarter turn. It will stay in place and not build pressure. You can limp home on it that way.

Is the ECT sensor? Could have sworn it started around 5v cold and went down as it warmed. But you have to remember my electrical abilities.

My 02 is on its 3rd track bar, went on right around 400k or so.

Not the electronics genius here by any means, but I believe the voltage should go down as the throttle is advanced. The sensors use a 5v signal. Something is amiss here.

It is a toss up my friend. It could be either. I understand your thoughts on the VP. When my ECM died back in 09, nobody could offer me anything better than check your grounds. Heard that over and over. Me, I was sure it was the ECM but had no knowledge to back that up. So i spent a month or more before replacing it. A VP is a big ticket item also and without some other verification we are hard pressed to tell you to buy one and hope it works. I see to many people show up here after spending 2, 3 or 4 grand chasing problems with parts with no solutions. Dont want you to be one of these folks.

Will that work going back thru the pump? I don't know just asking. Almost sounds to easy.

Which one of those gauges is right. One is bouncing from 30 to 40 psi and the other 16 20 psi.

Ethanol in diesel? Never seen that out my way.

Good to hear she's cranking again.

I knew the Quadanese speakers would show. That part a bit over my head.

I don't know about the quad tuning, but those tires and wheels sure are not helping. The weight and circumfrance will knock the mileage of quick especially on the 3:55 gears. If you had to lift the truck at all because of them, there is another mileage detractor.
