  1. I have 127K miles and use it to haul an 8k pound 5er with a 500+ pound boat and trailer behind that. Of all the things to think about fixing the head gasket is not even on the radar. If it's not broke don't fix it.
  2. If you wire the FASS fuel pump through a relay and the relay is triggered by the fuel pump wires from the ECM then no code will be set. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/59_fuel/installing-protective-lift-pump-relay-r501/?tab=comments#comment-55 Is the truck registered in a zip code where a California biennial smog test is required?
  3. They Know Who You Are
  4. Here is the thread, started by @Dieselfuture, about the change in valve guide seals. https://mopar1973man.com/topic/14508-top-hat-valve-seal-and-valve-train/#comments
  5. The cheapest I can find is $5.51 with some stations at $6.25 in Escondido, CA.
  6. Thanks for the offeror of paying for the group site. I'm still doing preliminary work on trip planning to Mt Robson, BC via Seattle: trip route, milage, fuel usage, projected area fuel cost along with camping and food expenses. Hopefully I'll know more by January. If I do make it there, I'll prepare a dinner of Carne Vinha d’alhos or maybe hot dogs for everyone.
  7. Nothing but rightwing propaganda trying to destroy my illusion that driving an EV is stopping global warming and saving the planet.
  8. With low beams on check with a voltmeter if there is battery power to the blub. If no, trace wire for open circuit or check for a bad fuse. If yes, then check with an ohm meter if there is continuity between the blub and ground.
  9. Extinctions have been a natural part of the planet’s evolutionary history. 99% of the four billion species that have evolved on Earth are now gone. Most species have gone extinct. There have been five mass extinction events in Earth’s history. ¹ So, taking a pragmatic view, if there is a 6th mass extinction event this blue marble in the cosmos will still be spinning around. Man's 2-million-year existence will be but a small footnote in the Earth's history. . ¹ourworldindata.org
  10. Giving thanks for what we have

  12. I made this bracket out of sheet metal from an old road sign and mounted a Carter "campaign" fuel pump with an added fuel filter. It is mounted to the frame using self-taping sheet metal screws and fender washers. This was done 11 years ago. When I installed the Fuel Boss pump this Airtex pump was fitted to the bracket as a backup pump that has been used to prime the fuel system when work is done on it. The bracket is still on the truck.
  13. Got back from the Fall season camping trip with my grandson, JAG1, and the gang. Now in recovery mode from surgery I hod on Friday. Next, I'll get my truck prepped for the body shop to have the right door and fender repaired from the damaged that was done to it in May. After the holidays I'll be gearing up for our now annual Haystack Mountain gun range camping trip weekend.
  14. Went back to the theme. New one with black background was hard on the eyes.
  15. I second that. Good customer support. and certified rebuilt pumps.

  17. There are three suppliers of oil for Walmart's Supertech oil: Warren Oil Company, Pennzoil, and ExxonMobil. Warren Oil Company bottles have a rectangle on the front or back of the bottle and may or may not have a capital C with a star in it on the bottom at the same time. Pennzoil bottles have a capital C with a star in it on its bottom only. ExxonMobil bottle will have a larger cap similar to a Mobile1 bottle with no other markings.

  19. Have you tried driving up and down that area of road, with the Edge comp box disconnected, to see what happens. If it is some type of electronic interference emanating in that area you may have to shield and bond the Edge comp box, ECM, and PCM. @W-Twould be able to give a more informative answer on this problem.
  20. How to Repair the grounds for the PCM. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/electrical/pcm-ground-splice-repair-r675/?tab=comments#comment-115
  21. Won't work. You need to scrape the old foam backing off the fiberboard first.
  22. All so install a fuse in the blue lead between the PCM and the alternator. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/electrical/alternator-and-pcm-protection-r617/
  23. One module year, I can't remember right now, there were a lot of Volvos that had pion seal leaks. These where Dyna differentials with crush sleaves. I would do the same thing: mark the pion, mark the nut, and mark the flange. Take the nut off, use a puller to take the flange off, replace the seal, then reassemble. Never had a problem.
