Thoughts are in bold.. i know im late responding... but compunds are unneeded if you are just doing a tow rig. compunds come with a host of other things you have to do in order to make them work. if its just a back up, not worth the investment in my opinion.

Gotta say it is gorgeous out there.. well worth missing a sled pull for.

Meant to keep up with this a bit more but things didn't turn out that way. New job is going well, albeit the exhausted feeling every day is a bit rough. Sled pulling season was a well earned 2nd place. Me and the puller that got 1st were going within feet of each other pretty much every race. New clutch worked well on the track but is a bit rough on daily driving. To be expected... I will say being able to spin 3700 rpm down the track is helpful too. Got traction bars for Christmas so that will help... Lots to do and I don't have an open garage to do most of them. Side bar.. I missed my last pull (Oct 21) because my brother and I helped my best friend move from the ct shoreline to tacoma washington. We turned it into a mini vacation. Visited Yellowstone and the LaMay automotive museum. @Mopar1973Man, I was gonna let you know that i was coming through but we were coming through on I90 i think.. I was a bit far north for a detour on our timetable unfortunately.. Next time hopefully...

My fix was another job change, but glad things are turning around for you Mike. Finally ordered a new clutch, sintered iron triple disk from kennys diesel out of kentucky. Also ordered a tubular crossmember to replace the factory one. Hoping to save some weight and make trans removal and re installation a bit easier. Only problem is I dont think parts will get here in time to get them installed for my first or second pull. We shall see.

I wasnt so lucky... finally opened my rear drivers door after it hasnt opened in like 5 years. Cut off the bolts to get the door open then cut the lower latch off the nader pin.. kept it just intact enough to figure out why it siezes.. the actual bearclaw latch pivots on the sleeve that the threaded pieces are attached to. Have photos somewhere... @Great work!, you said your latch froze on the part inside the door thar the rod connects to?

Sorry for not keeping this up to date regularly... havent had proper funds to get things started/finished.. solved that problem though. hopefully going to be posting a bit more now that pulling season is about to start. Plans for this year are similar to previous years.. clutch, bump stops, traction bars, safety items for peace of mind, cylinder head if i can manage it.. probably not this year though. still need to do some maintenance stuff and trouble shooting/fixing of some random odds and ends..

Have to keep this up to date.. Haven't done much with the truck besides get new weights for it. My brother bought the concrete I was using and used it for redoing his mudroom. Pulling season is starting soon, so I have to start taking care of some of the lingering wintertime projects. Main reason for posting is that this morning, I blew the #9 fuse in the dash fuse box area. #9 is the fuse for the ECU, PCM, and the Quad. Drove to the gas station fine, got coffee and breakfast, went out to the truck to start it, and crank no start. Tried cranking again, had all the symptoms of a bad ECU, then i remembered about my fuse blowing previously, and sure enough it was blown.. had a spare 15 amp fuse to get me home but i dont want to play around with the power supply for the brains of the truck anymore than i have to. Drove the truck home, swapped cars and posting this from work.. I'm guessing there's a small break somewhere that i have to track down. But I'm also wondering if a health check from Quadzilla would be worth the effort..

Ok final update.. Got the ecu back and put it in.. and same symptoms. Took a bit to get back to it so the truck sat for a while. Finally got back to it today and started looking at fuses again. Sure enough fuse number 9 labeled 'engine' was blown. Replaced it had no ccd issues and my wait to start was back. So i am back to a running cummins.

I hope so.. kinda need my truck back to do some stuff around the house. And i dont have snow tires for the challenger yet.. but southern new england is in a snow drought right now so I'll take all the dry days i can get at the moment.

Got my email from @Auto Computer Specialist today. Apparently my CPU had started to come loose.. among other things.. ECU should be back Thursday. Next is some battery cables.. mine are not great. Work on the W-T mod as well while getting this swapped..

ECU is down in Florida with @Auto Computer Specialist. Turn around time should be 5 work days from Wednesday. Fingers crossed.

Hoping to pull my ECU tonight an get it sent out in the morning. Cold, Rain, the Dark, and work put a real damper on working on My truck.. First decent day that i didn't have something already planned or was raining. Finally got a hold of @Auto Computer Specialist, they told me that its the ECU. Need to work on the battery cables and W-T mod next as well..

Trying to keep up on things... Called @Auto Computer Specialist about the time of my last post, Didnt get far. Was no way to leave a voicemail or talk to someone. Then called on Monday or Tuesday and spoke with Demetrius (sp?) about the issues I've been having. He said that its the ECU so that's what I'm gonna send in. Fingers crossed

Had a contact us ticket into them on monday, still waiting. Ok, the way you said that makes sense. That was part of the reason for the other post. I didnt know if i was fighting multiple issues or if one thing was causing the others.

Quadzilla is more of a checkup vs having issues.. Im assuming no ccd causes the no start condition as well..
