  1. NO, their not. They still ask if you want fries with your order.
  2. I think you might have two problems. I think your ignition switch my not be fully returning to position II due to a sticking lock cylinder. The next time this happens rotate the ignition key slightly back, counterclockwise, and see if things change. Are your batteries in good condition, not to old or weak? Make sure grounds are good and battery terminals are clean, tight and in good condition. I was having high AC voltage, 0.05-0.1, and replaced the diodes and brushes. Now the AC voltage is at .03.
  3. I use the factory hard line for the fuel return line to the fuel tank filler neck, You can run new hose from the tank to the filters/pump.
  4. I'm wishing the best for everyone this Christmas Season. Hoping for joy, good health and prosperity now and throughout the coming year for all of you and your families.
  5. Why isn't the stock filter good? I have a Fuel Boss mechanical pump and push the fuel through the stock filer/water separator housing.
  6. The 4WD switch grounds pin #2 of the antilock brake controller. The 4WD indicator light is turned on at the same time by grounding the LED blub through pin # 10 in C2 at the instrument cluster. This means that there is power supplied to the various indicator lights in the instrument cluster and they are turned on by grounding them. If you ground pin # 10 and gray wire behind the instrument cluster the LED 4WD light should turn on. If the light turns on when grounded then you have an open circuit to ground IE: bad switch, poor contact in a connector or broken wire. If the light does not turn on then either a bad LED blub or no power to the blub.
  7. Use two pair of needle nose vice grips with vacuum hose pushed over their jaws to clamp fuel hose and adjust to fit hose. I've used this setup on heater, fuel, brake and transmission hoses with no problems,
  8. From the 2000 Dodge Ram Pickup Cummins Turbo Diesel owner's manual. #18 is the 4WD light
  9. With a vacuum pump, can be hand pump type, apply up to 15" of vacuum to hose and watch the movement of the lever attached to the vacuum diaphragm. The vacuum applied to the diaphragm should hold for several minuets if not then there is a leak in the diaphragm. See if this will work for you.
  10. I have a small crate full of hub caps but none are for a Dodge truck.
  11. The variation in temperatures shown between the gauges can be attributed to the calibration differences by the manufacturers as well as cylinder fueling/combustion efficiency.
  12. Don't use WD40 in the lock cylinder. It will dry out in a few days and can wash out any lube that's in there now. I spray a light lubricating oil in the lock cylinder then work the action a few times. Gun oil will work too.
  13. I get out of truck, close the door, push lock button on key fob. The interior dome light shuts off, horn beeps once, doors lock. My Volvo park lights flash once when locking but no horn beep.
  14. Think about this: that can, for an 8 cylinder, will treat 5-6 qtrs. of oil so you may need to use 2 cans to treat a Cummins 11 qtr. engine.
  15. When do you plan on doing this? I see you live in San Diego. Del Cerro area? I'm a half hour north and can help you with this, I've dropped a few tanks over the years. I have my work van with tools, floor jack and 5 five gallon fuel containers to pump your fuel into.
  16. I've use Seafoam, through a vacuum port at the intake manifold, to clean the top end of a gas engine then add a can to 1/2 tank of fuel prier to state smog inspection. This helps to lower the NOX emissions.
  17. You have to ask yourself, "got new parts and the problems are fixed so why do I need to keep these bummed up parts around?" If you could "fix" them would you trust them to function correctly over the long haul?
  18. That's what I do with my boat motor and 5th wheel generator otherwise the fuel can evaporate in the carburetor fuel bowl over time and leave a varnish behind that will plug up the fuel jet. The fuel in the tank is still good to go with out any fuel stabilizer.
  19. I've noticed this also. I run the 91 non ethanol in all my small engines and have found then to start up with no problems even after they have sat unused for months at a time.
  20. I've tried Restore in a 2001 Volvo S80 with a 6 cylinder engine. Check engine light on, compression test show a low cylinder, not a valve problem. Added 1 can of the 6 cylinder Restore. After a few hundred miles of driving the compression was up about 20 psi, not enough to take care of the problem. Customer donated car.
  21. I've got a medium size safe with electronic key pad and it's bolted to the concrete floor, see steeling ATMs. It's full to the point where I have to move 5 to get to one but I'm done buying any more firearms so I'm not getting another safe. I like the electronic key pad. It is easy to change the combination if need be. I put a fresh 9 volt battery in it once every 2 years or it won't open.
  22. If the A/C is working and the over pressure blow off valve opens only when the truck is stationary with the engine on then I think you have an air flow over the condenser problem like Mike said. You still want to put a set of gauges on and check the pressure. Install A/C gauges and record static high and low pressure along with air temp. Start engine and turn on A/C with fan speed on high, after 1 minute record pressures and center duct temp. Montour pressures and temp for up to10-15 minutes. If high side pressure goes up to 400+ psi and low side goes to 0 psi or into a vacuum in the first 1-2 minutes then there is a blockage in the system and it is most likely at the expansion tube/valve. If the high side pressure goes up slowly and gets close to 400 psi put a large fan, set on high speed, in front of the condenser. If the pressure come down to normal then there is a fan clutch/air flow over the condenser problem. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/54_cab-interior/basic-air-condition-repair-r485/
  23. Does too. It's going to down to 57 tonight.
  24. You can also find good deals on tools at pawn shops. I got a Fluke meter for $75 at one.
  25. No, pulling them with the batteries connected and the key in the off position will not hurt anything.
