What gets your adrenaline flowing?
Have the engine start running rough in my plane at 10,000' and I'm flying over mountains.

We need a truck for the new mopar1973man tshirts
Get the design done and go with two common sizes L and XL. Have production run on the other sizes when pre orders reach the amount needed to justify the expense.

gauges
When I installed my gauges the exhaust temp didn't work at all. Called the company that sold it to me and told them the problem. They sent me another exhaust gauge kit and I changed out the amplifier box. It's been working great now for 12 years.

Big shout out to BBHD
The makers of these oiled filters don't tell consumers the problems they can produce. The oil that comes off the filter can coat the sensors and cause erroneous readings. These readings will diminish power and fuel economy, increase tail pipe emissions and cause poor drivability to the point the engine will not stay running. These problems readily occur not so much in the diesel engine but in vehicles with air mass meters.

Changing a VP44
The way I see it, you have to answer several questions. Do I need the extra power the tap gives me or can I drive/tow all right with the lower power setting? Do I want to spend the money ($1500) for more power but only have a 1 year warranty? Would a $1050 pump with a 2 year warranty, that can still be tapped later, fit my needs?

You lucky dog! That's one nice weapon. I'd like to find something like that in my car port. Instead I find things like this. ↓ Got to love the grand kids. Hello Kitty just doesn't cut it.

Torque Converter Lock / Unlock Issues
Why not put a manual torque convertor lock-up switch until the problem can be resolved, if ever. I'm not having any problem with my trans now but I do have a lock-up switch, I use when towing, with automatic disengagement when the brake peddle is depressed. It works great

Ice Fishing Weekend
There's a few lakes like that around here: Lake No Fish, Lake I Wish I Could Catch A Fish and Lake Don't Bother. That's a bucket load! Sounds like none stop action. Ya, fishing better than work but even better when you're catching a 'boat load'. I take it that there is no limit on perch at that lake.

Fuel pressure gauge saved my bacon.
Happy to hear the gauge pulled your bacon out of the fire. It could be the thicker fuel due to the extreme cold in your area put a load on the pump which in turn increased the amp draw on a marginal pump causing the fuse to blow. If it happens again do an amp draw test. ↓ Did he look like this ↓

What's the difference between weather prognosticators and politicians? Not much, they both very seldom get it right. ↓ In the park next to my house this morning.

I won't eat them but they are the only thing you can catch in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. So it's catch and release for me.

code 65
Main relay is in the ABS control module. Without any other diagnostics to go by, the module needs repair/rebuild.

another auto trans acting up. what might it be
My rule of thumb is 'fix what you know is wrong first'. You know you have old weak batteries so replace them be for they die on you completely, then test the alternator for DC/AC out put and the linkage for proper adjustmet

new clutch, fuel mileage with the Comp, and a miss
I think that's it. The fuel demand of the VP is so great when under WOT and the comp box turned up that a suction is created between the VP and the lift pump drawing in air. It doesn't take much to create an air leak.
-
code 65
It means the ABS module isn't powering up. Check the fuses and ground for the module and ohm test the rwal solenoids under the module. If they are O'K then the module's internal relay is bad and the module needs to be replaced or repaired (see above). The dealer should have run a full diagnostic on the ABS system and given a written report.

new clutch, fuel mileage with the Comp, and a miss
I've heard of people having the same problem that you're having and had the quick disconnects. I think they changed them out to the push lock fittings and that took care of the problem.

Sounds like lack of fuel on demand, Air leak?

When I'm wiping my RV down I mix ammonia and water, about 16:1, in a spray bottle. I use it on walls, mirrors, windows, stove, microwave, even clean the carpet with it. The Ammonia works well on cooking grease and dirt. The best part is it leaves no residue so there is no need for rinsing. I clean the fridge with bleach and water to take care of any mold that might want to pop up. I'm lucky that I don't have to use that RV anti-freeze, sounds like a real pain.- Camp challenge
