Anyone have any experience Treadwright Remold Tires? My father in law picked up a set of wardens and they look good but online reviews are hit and miss. Tim

Good evening everyone, Big update. My VP44 died. Truck wont run again and now is showing a P1688, P0251 and P0252 codes. Looks like my VP44 has died. Any suggestions on where to buy a good one at an affordable/decent price? Looking to replace injection lines also since mine are corroded. Tim

Thank you everyone for the help. I will let you all know if I have any more problems. My truck started right up this morning with no issues. Tim

thanks. I went to test start issue with jumper cables and noticed that check engine light was on. Didnt see it on yesterday. Code was for crank sensor. Cleared code and truck fired right up. Would a crankshaft sensor code tell ecm or vp44 not to communicate thus not start truck?? And by continuing to crank truck with engine not firing cause ground issue that I experienced?? Tim

Thanks guys for the feedback. I assume I need to use 2 sets of jumper cables to test your method since I have 2 batteries?? Or can I just jump post to block on one Battery?

Good evening everyone, This morning I went to start my truck and it just cranked but never fired. I noticed smoke coming from engine bay and it was coming from ground cable from passenger side battery negative post that connects to body. It was extremely hot and was smoking. Truck started and ran fine yesterday. Really need my truck back up and running, please help! Tim

My suggestions and current mods are: ISSPRO gauges: EGT, Trans Temp, Fuel Pressure, boost Airdog 4G lift pump Good batteries Tim

After a lot of searching and review reading I am going to go with Hancook Dynapro ATMs. Thanks everyone for your input. Tim

Thanks for the explanation. I am looking into 265s but will be traveling a lot this year with truck. Big trip this summer from NY to KY to WI to NY so want a good tire that will not wear super fast. Id be okay with going with a 245 but truck sits so high in rear it would look goofy with a 30 inch tire so i think 265s or 285s are it unless I go to a bigger rim size. Thanks, Tim

Thank you. I will look into 265s

Would going to a 265/75 load range E be better? Truck sits pretty high in rear die to 3500 series leaf pack. Tim Collins

I have read good things about the ATMs just not in budget. Tire size is a 285/76/16 if that makes a difference. Tim

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any experience using Trail Guide A/T or Mastercraft AXT tires. Looking for new tires for truck. Thanks, Tim

Is this what your looking for? Maybe someone has a good one laying on a shelf also. But if you want to buy new I found this from AFE https://www.dieselops.com/afe-bladerunner-turbocharger-turbine-elbow-replacement-for-dodge-cummins-1998-5-2002?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=1o1&scid=scplpAFE-46-60067&sc_intid=AFE-46-60067&gclid=CjwKCAjwq_vWBRACEiwAEReprAwkao1Ka4zAmSaMi7-tVGEwT_mr6ucIodk00G4rT0mfURUvXM2TthoCBM8QAvD_BwE

Thanks. I'll look into them. Tim

Hello everyone, I have a spare HX35 laying on the shelf and I would like to get it rebuilt to more of a towing turbo. Does anyone know or recommend a shop that can rebuild turbos? Closer to CNY the better. Thinking about getting housing machined for a 60 or 62mm wheel. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Tim

The Xzt+ has a high idle feature that kicks in once truck idles for 30secs. I start truck 1-3x a week and let it warm up to operating temps. I have driven it on "nice" days and washed salt off it. I am going to undercoat underside of body this summer just incase I need 4x4 next winter.

Jag1 - Thank you! Can'twait to drive it once again. I won't drive it in NY winter if I don't have to. Don't want to see body rust out like other was. I picked up a donor truck from VA to do swap. Not sure now accurate the OBDLink is but I set it up according to forum and read the attached #s. Red arrows are maximums read. ~300hp and ~700ftlbs Tim

Dripley- I got it from Ebay. I think it was like $25. It a rubberized sticker.

Good morning all, Name's Tim and I am relatively new to diesels. Been a member of forum for some time but thought I would post an introduction. I have a 1999 Dodge 2500 24v Cummins with 169k. I bought the truck from my father in law and it was owned by my wife's grandfather before that. My father in law bought it with intentions on flipping it, but I needed a camper hauler so I bought it for $2500 as is. Truck was in rough shape when I bought it. I did a full body swap/semi restoration. Truck runs like a top. Current mods are BHAF, Quadzilla Xzt+, Airdog 165-4G, full set of Isspro gauges (EGT, Trans Temp, Boost, Fuel Pressure). Future plans are to rebuild the HX35 and maybe a set of 40-75hp injectors. Look forward to learning more about the 24v Cummins. Tim
