Yes that clutch was a pita to drive... got rid of that and the comp box thinking that would help streetabilitly and mpg, but no I still get 11 mpg and of course the issues at hand. It did run like a bandit with the comp box... I just can't remember if I had this issue with it or not...I always thought the comp box did both aggressive timing and fueling depending on which setting? I don't have anything else on it beside what I got listed. I was seriously thinking about another comp box or something similar to really do some good tests with different parameters.

@Silverwolf2691 "Unknown fuel components" guy I bought it from years ago said this is what is in it... he gave me a set of injectors, lines, brand new tubes, and old valve springs as "spares/ take offs". Which all this leads me to believe it's all true but again I have no receipts on those items. It did have a sintered iron dual disc before I took it out, those are for some serious power.... it all adds up but I just can't be certain. Idk if it adds any thing to the mix- he did have a edge comp box hot on it too. I since took it off and sold it. Kinda odd that was on there cause I believe the dragon flow etc have timing built in all ready. Could it be that I still need timing added into the equation? I knew it would be hard to get it to clean up if any, but I figured showing it would atleast give insight on what I have or don't along with the "lope" It's as soon as you take any load off of engine pretty much it does that in the video. Really bad with AC and very small w/o AC. With ac on it will work its way from what's in the video to a much broader range and eventually kill it. Which is why I can't drive with my ac on in the hot weather, cause that's dangerous lol...

@Great work! Amazon states it doesn't fit Alot of things don't usually fit but WORK. Just thought it was kinda funny. Kind of a bump here, Hopefully the videos will show what I'm dealing with and trying to figure out. A reputable diesel shop which my boss used to work at, he called and asked, says it prolly my advancement springs weak and its basically sliding back and forth... Still trying to narrow down a pinion seal 🦭 Gonna order a track bar from DOR and send in my parts trucks steering gear 98'-1500 to @Blue-Top Steering to get rebuilt. I think I'll like the quicker ratio in town. Then my entire front end will be redone (all DOR) with the blue top. Not as important but I got a plastic welder, trying to figure out how to reattach my arm rest panel to door panel. Proving to be a bit difficult to make a stud on arm rest then melt back to door panel.

Lucky guy 🙂 We'd I received an air filter.... just part of order lol. And an email stating such finally... I wish someone would call me, I tried pretty hard to get them to. with no luck

This is ran with A.C. on max. It will kill itself sometimes, depends on what's going on really, but kinda random Does the same thing with it off but a *mini-mini version... Hopefully yall can hear the lope in this, I could on my phone... just a little test drive down a side road near the house. I gave it some throttle to show how much it smokes, due to unknown fuel system parts.... This one shows the tach bouncing, sorry for the camera moving around I had it set on the column which looked like it'd be smooth but not lol. What is it???? Pop pressures? Pump advance worn out just moving around? Pump bad? Controller? Also waiting on someone to cough up a rear sway bar mount 🤣🤣 & pinion seal ideas 😉

@Stubilly I just replaced my clockspring, didn't really pay close attention to the horn stuff, I was replacing due to intermittent wiper issue and no cruise. I only remember 3 connections, L&R cruise and airbag. I was in a hurry so I that's maybe why I don't remember a (horn wire) I thought I took some pics but I guess I deleted them after the job. Also had CTM issue - power locks stopped working, unplugged original checked terminals and swapped in another no change plugged old one back in replaced fuse and it worked. I've seen a couple instances where this has worked for others on certain issues, it just being a bad connection....

I would say horn pad, when going together did you force anything aside from just pinching the wire(s) with the air bag assembly? Horn pad is just connecting/completing the circuit of the beep beep. I could be wrong but I think it's just connecting to ground to complete the circuit. Atleast that's how the older trucks I've messed are operated - I have yet to pull a horn pad in mine yet so... So option A horn pad is out, option B you have pinch more than what you see and you are grounding out somewhere near your mistake. Maybe someone else here has messed with a horn pad and can assist, if I'm incorrect

I forgot to mention yesterday that I also found my all my anti sway bar bushing retainers except one rear one Maybe I'll go through everything in the shop for a third time All else fails, anyone have some spare rear anti sway bar bushing mounts?

Prolly would be a good idea, save some headaches for sure.

Well little update: Still no gopro video of my issues due to wind issues. So with some research and amazon-ing I found a "wind sock" for the gopro that supposed to help said issue. It's on now just gotta record something. I'm thinking it's fuel related.... something like the advancement spring worn out and just moving back and forth willy nilly. Also can't rule out injectors/pop pressures. Kinda sucks cause this is something I'd just have to guess and throw parts at to fix... More to come on this I'd say.... Interior is still coming along, got a plastic welder and gonna try and see if I can weld some plastic "rivets" back where the original ones were on the door panel arm rests. Since they were removed for reupholstery. I've tried some and it's not progressing well So I also still need to figure out what seal for my pinion I need... apparently there's like 50 different kinds

I can 2nd DAP, good people and good service! I would vouch for LMC and Genos too.

No that's just what one guy did to do his... totally doable without that craziness. Very true! I forgot to add that in, good catch, great info!

@sleezy it's not hard at all. Just take your time and be gentle, it's still all plastic lol. By taking the ducting off and securing it to the dash before install is almost a must, I'd say. I actually positioned my steering wheel where it would be flat against the seat and sort of wedged it down further in front of the seat to get what ever room I could. Remember where all your little screws go so you don't have any rattles etc... There's a whole bunch of those little beesterdz...

I too will be on the ball joint hunt soon and replacing leaking axle seal. I'll be lurking... I mean watching... for these choices...

I can't see pics either. I assume your talking about the little plastic deal on the shifter ball end that seats into the shifting fork? If I'm picking up what your puttin down....

I'm pretty sure the "lens" if you will backing everything is a green tint right? Pretty sure mine was when I swapped to leds. Wouldn't you have to replace this lens/filter for any color change? I think having anything other than a clear bulb/led would be pointless. Not saying I don't like the idea, prolly would be neat to try out some different colored gauges if you could get past the lens.

I got a white overlay from LMC for $25 and I would just use amazon to get some lights to upgrade. I don't remember where I got mine but it was really cheap and still going strong.

Did anyone one have any insight on which seal or pn# to use? Mine kinda looks like @smokeythedodge on his write up, but I'm not for certain...

Flying debris...... oh wait I need that

Yes, sure is. Full replacement with clips- doesn't come with vents though. Love Geno's, all kinds of good things to say about them.

Well I guess a little update here: To piggy back on the CPP ordeal, I received my package (2 of 3) item Friday at 1530 right as I was leaving the shop. After all that with no means of reasonable communication, doesn't make since but whatever. Got my new dash installed- see pics, went way easier than I was anticipating, color difference is there but not super noticeable one pic shows it pretty good I believe, got my new bezel installed and new power/heated tow mirrors installed -parts truck had a mirror switch, and a new blower motor resistor... LMC- Dash $250 Geno's- Bezel $85 CPP*- Mirrors $130 Gonna pull CTM and heater controller from donor truck today or Monday. Then need to replace rear pinion seal and tailshaft seal on transfercase. @Silverwolf2691 the weep hole was in the 4-5 o'clock position but good news is I have 2 extra ones laying in the shop... I'll have to decipher which seal to get on the pinion. I forget who posted it but a member on here had a decent post on pinion seals here I read and had the seal options. I attached pics of my rear end (no pun intended) for reference- any help is appreciated. I also got to start working on re-upholstering my door panels and center console. I hate not having these...

Emailed again today asking to at least give me something..... I did get a response - We have these in stock - WTF.....Emailed back and no response God I wish this company was local.....

Well I used my debit card, hopefully same same. Wife called bank for me and they said we have to wait 30 days before they can start what ever process it is. Man this just pisses me off....

Didnt know where to put this but... Bought some stuff over a week ago from CPP Diesel, expected a tracking number same day or worst case next day, didn't show out of stock, ordered by noon. Couple of days go by, nothing, tried calling- they shut off their phones, emailed a couple of times mid week and was told I'll get a tracking number when it's processed nothing more. Second email they said they'll request tracking? Tried calling again just cause and nothing. Reached out again today via email for a refund and someone to contact me, with a very stern attitude via email or cell phone if possible and still nothing... All my previous orders have not been like this, shipped promptly and had good interactions. I am furious with this company right now! As of right now they are crooks in my eyes! DO NOT BUY FROM CPP DIESEL, you might be screwed like me...

Well I have recorded a few videos with my gopro but none have come out good. Way to much wind noise. Idk what it is, never had this problem while on my helmet riding atvs... so back to drawing board on that... maybe I'll just try my phone... Got my dash and bezel shipped in, also got my all my anti sway bar stuff in from genos, still might have to find bushing mount/retainer for sway bar bushings if I can't find them. Need to get those seals conjured up then lots of play time installing it all. I ordered new mirrors and filter from cpp diesel on 6-22 @ noon, still have yet to get a shipping confirmation. Even emailed them a couple of times- nothing. If I don't get something Monday rain or shine im canceling it. Items didn't show out of stock, and it's never taken this long for them to ship out on my previous orders, usually same day ship. Idk if a rep or someone from them is on this forum but if so maybe they can pass it up or let me at least know what's going on. Also just an FYI for anyone wanting to purchase through them. *end rant* lol
