I use my google account (gmail) to backup/restore all my contacts, apps and whatnot, My old phone decided to quit working a couple months back so when I got my new one all I had to do was login to my google account when going through the setup when I turned the new phone on and it automatically loaded all my contacts, etc. What kind of trouble are you having with yours?

I got to thinking and I have access to cummins insite at work so I looked to see if there was a simulator for the 24v on it and sure enough there was one for the chrysler cm551(24v), I can't get any PID's off it though (don't even know if they would be any good for what you are working on anyways even if I could see them since to hook insite up to the engine in a dodge you use a under hood harness plug(3pin) not the OBDII port) but anyway here is the list of parameters that would be reported from the ECM to insite in live data monitoring.

I've been running a amsoil EAAU4095 filter on my truck since march 2013 and I have yet to see it pull the filterminder down at all. I really like the filter. (had a amsoil filter on my old truck as well for 2 years before I sold it) As for the deformation on your filter it really looks like it got crushed against something to me.

Most taps are made brittle enough so that you can break them up by hitting them with a punch and hammer if they break off like that, in my experience it doesn't always work out that well but could be worth a shot.

I was just using 3 and 5 as a illustration to what I was saying, fits it would have been better if I said pin x and pin y instead.

I have heard that Chrysler uses non standard pins for reporting some data over OBDII (that may use pin X where the standard would be pin Y for example) Not sure how they got away with it but they did.

Just connects to the truck once downloaded, although some optional features can use some data if you enable them.(at least in torque) such as web upload of logged data, etc.

Its strange that torque only sees speed and RPM... even on my old 12v I can see speed, RPM, IAT, and voltage. Coolant temp reads awell but its not right (-40* all the time iirc) but I don't think the coolant temp even runs through the PCM on a 12v, will have to look at the wiring diagram. EDIT: just checked and it doesn't run through the PCM on a 12v, wire goes right to the gauge. Also I'm not sure about OBDlink but in torque it uses hex for the PID's

Seems do the same things as the "torque pro" app, only OBDLink is proprietary and only works with their own OBDII adapters, I like torque since you can pick up just about and any standard OBDII -> Bluetooth adapter and plug it in and see everything. I use my Bluetooth adapter and torque pro for all the diagnostics I do on OBDII vehicles anymore since its so handy. (mind you I don't do to much of it since I mainly work on semi trucks)

Oh wow, yeah they do! I would have never thought they would be that much, I got a rebuild kit a while back from somewhere that had sychros and bearings for right around $200, it didn't have timken or koyo bearings though and I ended up not needing it so I sold it.

For a online place quad4x4 does a lot with the NV4500, or find a local place near you that sells trans parts, A place called discount parts exchange is my local place to go for trans parts.

If you have access to a shop press I set mine up like pictured when doing ball joints, most times I never have to touch the torches but sometimes it needs a little heat on the knuckle to open it up some to break the ball joint loose.

If you have tweeters in the pillars it should be the premium sound system if I remember right.

We use gates belts at work and the HD belts are thicker than the regular ones and may be made out of a little different material. Both will get the job done though.

Could be a bad ground or power to those bulbs, they may have enough power to light up faintly but there's probably a bad connection somewhere, I usually find a corroding spot on the power write when LED's do what you describe. But if they are dim on both tail and turn then it's probably a ground problem.

I wouldn't worry too much about it for now, it could just be from holding that angle and not flowing much coolant to the rear of the head where the temp sender is. The rear of the head is already sees the least flow plus add in the grade of the hill and EGTs. There's a reason high performance guys run bypasses to the rear of the head.

It's really green compared to whats around here right now anyway, all the grass is full on dead brown.

That's some green grass you got there!

Looks really nice! Would this sharkhyde product you speak of work to protect aluminum wheels as well?

That would be your vacuum pump leaking. Geno's garage sells the rebuild kits for them. Here is a link to the rebuild article. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/26-engine-systems/469-vacuum-pump-rebuild

haha yeah you do hear some goats, my Dad probably has 20 of them out there.

Oh I see, I thought the forum software would do it automatically just putting the youtube link in but I was using youtube's short url (youtu.be) which the software doesn't pick up on I guess.

That badge looks nice! I'll have to get one once you get the store all setup.

For a little while now my fuel heater has been leaking some so the other day I deleted it and made a video of the process to post up here. With out anything further here's the video.

When I did my diamond eye exhaust there was one pipe I had to cut close to 18" off for my extended cab longbed. pretty sure it was the muffler replacement pipe I shortened.
