I forgot to right down the code Mike. Was in a hurry to get out! LOL! I have a snap on modus will have to hook it up when I get a chance.

Hello all, I just back on here. It's been a while. Looked in my inbox and had a non active message. Sorry Mike! Been busy as all hell. Especially finally getting a break over here on the East coast during Hurricane Joaquin. Have been in flight for storm rescue. US Coast Guard SARS. Ok here is goes, The truck has been acting up some. Truck will start and run fine then out of the blue will not want to start. But after a 15-20 min wait it will start.The tach will not move. I replaced the Crankshaft postition sensor a year or so ago. Funny thing is it comes and it goes. It will not do it for months and will give me no problems. Thanks, John

Can this be easily done with out taking out the VP-44?

Well had to report back. My starter did go this past monday. Pulled it out had it rebuilt. IT was the original starter. I'm th 4th owner of the truck. So that baby had a lot of run time. Installed it yesterday. Fired right up.

Hello all, Sorry have been swamped with work. Update. Starter problems related to the extremely cold weather and Ice build up underneath of truck. Fuel pump is ok. Going to change all filters as soon as the weather breaks this week. Had 10 inches of snow on St. patty 's day and rest of this week in to be around 60* so will have good weather to go at it. Thank'[s to all that offered help and suggestions. I appreciate very much!

Yes, I do. Have a fuel gauge. I was just getting a click. I put a heavy duty battery charger on it and peened the gauge on it. Then I knocked on starter with dead blow hammer. It clicked one. I tried again and it started. I started it several times,since I have been home from work. And it has started every time. I will have to see how it reacts in the morning.

OK. Great. I will have to watch it closely. Have to look into non starting issue.

Hello, Been A while since being on. Busy working! I Bumped my truck over and didn't hear my fuel pump run. Shouldn't it run every time you key the starter? The fuse was good on the air dog. I tested and had voltage on both sides the truck off. it when trouble shooting my truck that didn;t want to start at work today. Think I have a starter issue as well. Thanks for any info. Also been having very cold temps and snow. JOHN

I still run a glow shift 7 color fuel gauge. with a needle valve for a fuel snubber. It has been in my truck since I put on my original air dog 100. Only problem I ever had was one of the colors doesn't work.

I'm on the east coast. When I need parts this is a place a lot of people use all around the states. http://www.wengers.com/

Well, I got a new #1 high pressure fuel line and a new connecting tube. Hopefully after the install all will be good.

Here's a link for you that might help. I use drill bits that were tungsten carbide. LOL! That's why I have my Drill Doctor on my work truck and in the shop. http://www.wlfuller.com/html/drills_for_hardened_steel.html

Glad to hear all is safe. I did SARS in the Coast guard for 12 years. I know the fun involved. Once again glad everyone is back and safe. Good work Mike.

Yeah it is nice, I work for a large school district. We own all our buses. I'm a HVAC/R mechanic. And when their air handlers or shop heaters break down at their garage/offices. They are very grateful when we get it fixed. So they take care of us.

Well, It started to leak again. Had a buddy come over whom is a bus mechanic at work and we found that I need a new fuel to the# 1 injector. It was not sealing properly. I had some scale on it we cleaned with a scotch bright pad carefully yesterday. But took a look today after bveing out and found it wet again. Good part is I can get a new line at work monday.

I got it all fixed up. changed out the o-ring and all is good.

Thanks Gents, I went over to our bus garage today at work and acquired 6 new connector tube O-rings. I will be doing the work on Friday after work. The Public school system I work for has 24valves in the buses. So I have access to stuff. I give her hell on Friday. I thank you all for you input. John

Hello all, I believe I have a bad connector ring O-ring on injector #1. I can see it weeping. I loosened the fuel line and tried to see if seated correctly, that looked to be good. That is why I'm suspecting the bad o-ring. Seems like a easy fix. Do I really need that tool from Snap-on to pull tube out? Also if anybody has part number for them, from Cummins or the dealership. I would appreciate the info.Thanks,John

The new filters I used were the one's you guys recommended.

Well got it running today, All in all not a bad job. It help having the right tools. " Especially the info here". Got it all buttoned up. and didn't have enough umph from the batteries. Not running for a week or so. Put a fast charge on them, then gave it another shot and it fired right off. Took for a spin. Ran great. Oh yeah the ball bearing on the overflow valve was rusted.Thanks for all the help guys,John

In this case nitrogen would be your friend. If you system is empty, charged some in and you can leak test. Most likely the leak is on the bottom. where leaves and debris gets in. Leaves can be acidic as well as pine needles too. use soap bubbles or a electronic leak detector. Where ever there is any refrigerant oil is the leak won't be far away.
