  1. Welcome. You could check the want here and else where and possibly find a wiring harness form someone parting one out. I got one for my 02 on cummins forum.
  2. I had the same problem and it was the return line and the return tee leaking . They were wet however and easy to spot. You just might have a small leak letting air in and not fuel out.
  3. That is an exceptional airdraft and 1960's tech built it. Kelly Johnson as his folks built some extroidinary aircraft. It was very good read.
  4. I think the biggest draw back to the NV5600 is the cost ify you have a problem with it. It costs upwards of $3k for a good rebuild. It is something I definately would not try myself.
  5. I have a low temp problem with some swinging. I have been thru 2 ECM's, one from a rebuilder and the last from Dodge. Neither helped mine. My problem is differant thatn yours however.
  6. I have looked at this thread several times and everytime I started to reply I realized ther would be no place to end the reply. If our elelcted leaders dont wake up we will all be in the out house. I dont need tham to take care of me or my family, I will assume that responsibility. Can you say 4 more years and a $20,000,000,000,000 national debt. Mayb I'll just go to Greece and retire.
  7. I have had mine in the same location for 7 years now. I pull heavy but not often.
  8. Might be. I checked mine and it is boxed also.
  9. The bracket Mike is talking about allows the pump to be mounted perpendicular to the frame. Mine came with 2 brakets to sandwhich the frame between them, but only allows for a parrallell install. I was under the impression the right angle braket was not available anymore also.
  10. The closer to the tank the better.
  11. I am running the Timbo apps on mine, but it never changed the tach bouncing. Mybe 25% of the time it sits steady the rest of the time it bounces a little. I have not really paid much attention to it since the engine idles smooth. Just got used to it over the years.
  12. Mine still runs thru the factory filter with no issues.
  13. Mine has always bounced a little with no change in the engine. By a little I mean only 10 rpm. It has done since it was new.
  14. My previous truck, 96 dodge 3/4 ton with V10, would pull my rv great. I had plenty of power and no lack of speed. The only thing it would not pull was past a gas station. 4.5 mpg. More than doubled that with the Cummins with plenty of power and more speed than you need.
  15. Rock Auto sells a slave with a bleeder screw. Not sure wich one it is but I bought one a while back. It made bleeding very easy. I replaced my master 2 years ago and wish 200 pumps was true. I pumped mine for ever just to get it on the road and it took me near 3 weeks of driving to get it completly bled. It still was a fair amount cheaper than buying the pre bled unit.
  16. Here is Mike's write up http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/28-transmission-systems/54-hydraulic-clutch-master-and-slave-replacement My replacement had a bleeder screw on it and I bled on the truck. I am not sure how to bleed one with out the screw and on the truck.
  17. Mine acts like Mike's video warmed up. When cold it goes to near 80 until it warms up. Just take s longer to come down when it is cold out. As the temp gauge goes up the oil pressure comes down.
  18. good luck my friend and travel safe.
  19. If you have the newer fuel canister, the one the filter loads from the top, both the inlets to the canister and the vp are the same thread size. That would lead me to believe to outlet on the canister is the same also. The banjo bolts appeared the same when I swapped mine.As far as the size, I dont know.
  20. I ran a dual setup for quite a while before I knew much about these fuel systems. It worked fine but I always worried about one of them going out. I did not have a FP gauge either. A fuel pressure gauge is just as important as a good lift pump.
  21. I swapped my gauge cluster with one from another truck and it showed the miles the other truck had and not what my truck had on it. i would still think one of the computers would have to store the correct milage. I would have to agree that changing the milage on the truck is pobably illegal.
  22. My 02 has the CAD. I think they were on some of the early 02's. Bought mine in 01.
  23. flat ground 2 maybe 3 psi. It is very minimal at that speed on flat ground.
  24. Do you have anything on your fuel gauge to isolte it from the pulses of the vp? They will cause your pressure to jump up and down and eventually take out the gauge. I have a needle valve installed on the tap for my gauge. It is barely cracked open and isolates the gauge from the pulses. - - - Updated - - - They are the same,I just dont remember what size they are. Maybe someone else knows off hand.
