It is in then articles section under 2nd gen 24v, electrical.

Have check3d formany trouble codes? They might help guide us. If it was a flood I would check electrical connections and the battery cables. All your problems could be hardware or just electrical. These truck are very picky on the DC power you feed them. I you have excessive ac voltage they will do crazy things. I have been thru everything you just not all at once. With exception of a failed VP the rest of mine were all electrical.

Driving by Ormund Beach right now headed back towards Jacksonville. My old boss right out of high school had a boat tail, frove that car quite a bit. He had a phone in it. Cool but strange back in 71. Maybe we can meet up this time. Let me know when you come thru.

What part of Florida. I wiil just west of Jacsonville next week?

How are your tires? Not so much size but condition. I went thru a bout of DW a few years back. My tires were about gone and I replaced them. And it stopped but was not quite right. I discovered the track was loose and replaced it and the problem was cured and still is. My tires are smaller at 265 75 16's. By the way, how is your caster angle?

Kind of thought thats what you. The advice is agood place to start. Is your gauge mechanical or electric?

The electric pumps spin at a constant rpm. More demand and the pressire will drop. The mechanical pumps spin with engine rpm so they pump more fuel the higher the rpm.

Some members are motleyer than others

Wow, she is a leaner for sure. Believe thats one those old buldings we were talkiing about in another thread the other day. X's 2 on the truck @Doubletrouble.

A subscription here is very reasonable. From $20 to $45 for a year. The resources and help here is worth every penny. I came with about 215k on the truck and now 300k miles later the truck is still treating me very well as are the members. We are a bit of motley crew at times but the help here is priceless. I would love to see a picture of the gauge set up in your truck as is.

I believe they would all be after market. Never heard of Dodge offering those gauges. But you are right on the 30psi gauge. It will serve you better. Will the new gauge fit the old location?

Cant say I have but seem to be seeing more of. I believe @Blueox01 just got an asian Holset HE351 turbo. In a box with the Holset logos on it and a butt load of chinese writing on it.

Amen brother!!!

Happy ro see you have found the issue. If you have one cable in that shape you should check them all. Might even be time for new ones. These trucks can get a bit unruly with those kind of electrical issues as you just found out.

Do you already have a fuel pressure gauge in the truck?

Hope not. This one is about 3 years old. The flasher is working normal again today.

I need to get one too. I am in my own waiting line and it sure is slow.

Every upper hose I have put mine needed some trimming where it fits on the radiator to be sure does not rub.

Thats the one. Funny, it looks just like you describe but yesterday it looked like an alien creature with a black eye ball.

My spring goes all the way up into the upper portion not the part yours is in. @JAG1 knows what they look like.

How does the oil look? Like oil or milky? When mine failed it was leaking outside the head and never got in the oil. But I could see the wet spot on the head/block junction right near the tstat housing.

I have changed my sender 3 times over the years with no difference. T stats seem to make some diffetence. Had both shown in the pictures and they act similar. Funny though for the first 5 years the needle was like it was glued to the gauge almost. But since then I see a lot swings no matter what t stat I put in. I dont give it second thought anymore.

I got back to the motel and the clicking had stopped. But it was clicking when I left. I was going to buy a new one on the way home but paased no parts store on the way home. I will find tomorrow and pick up a spare if nothing else since I was thinking it was bad myself. Thanks for the info and I will try it if it starts clicking again. Funny thing is the wife always gives me hades if I leave the signal on after a lane change or turn that does not quite turn it off. Cant believe I even heard it clicking.

Mine needs a rebuild. Synchros are worn pretty good. About 320k on it. Hopefully no hard parts.

Parked my at the job today. Get back in it about 15 minutes later and the flasher is clicking just like the turn signal or hazard lights were on but they're not. Sitting in her now and it is still clicking with nothing activated. I guess power getting to the flasher some how but to the lights unless the turn signal or hazard button are engaged. Any one had this happen?
