Get a spray can of Liquid Wrench® lubricating oil. I've found that it works good and is covenant to use. Wal-Mart sells it. WD-40 evaporates after a few days and it's back to the same problem. One of my customers worked at the WD-40 plant here in San Diego. He said that it was basically cut kerosine.

Four guys are out in the community park plying with their dogs. As men will do, they start to brag about how smart their dogs are. The first guy, who is an architectural engineer says to the others "you've got to see what my dog can do." He calls to his dog "Slide Rule, do your' thing. With that Slide Rule runs home and comes back with a marker pen and a poster board. He puts the poster board down and with the marker pen in his mouth he draws a perfect circle, triangle, and square. The next man, who is an accountant, says "pretty good but watch this" and calls to his dog "Spread Sheet, do your' thing" The dog runs home and a few minutes later comes back with a bag of cookies. Spread Sheet takes 12 cookies out of the bag and places 4 cookies each inside the circle, triangle, and square on the poster board. The third man, who is a chemist, says "not bad but you've got to see what my dog does. Beaker show use what you've got." The dog take off for home and comes back pulling a wagon. In the wagon is a quart of milk and three 12 oz glass tumblers. Beaker put each tumbler next to a stack of cookies on the poster board and fills each tumbler to 8oz exactly. The last dog owner, who works for the State Department of Motor Vehicles, looks at his dog and, while sadly shaking his head, says "Coffey Break, do your thing." Coffey Break slowly gets up and waddles over to the poster board. He proceeds to eat all 12 cookies, drinks all the milk, and relieves himself on the poster board. He then gets into a fight with the other dogs, hurts his back, files a clam with state workers comp and a grievance with the Union for unsafe working conditions. He waddles home and takes the rest of the day off.

I'm using 2cycle oil and have an Edge EZ set on 2. Last time the truck was tested the shop owner said that he saw smoke during the snap test. I couldn't see it. He pass me any way. Maybe it's because I've known him for over 15 yrs and I send him a lot of business.

You have to be a smart shopper and wait for those coupon specials.

That's if you go to Home Alone Depot for it.

O ya, I saw them in Harbor Freight had them on special with a 20% off coupon. Buck and a quarter out the door.

My steering and suspension is bone stock with 265 tires and like Mike's ride I don't have any of the problems you all have. Do you go off road a lot or just bad roads or is it bad replacement parts.

That leak looks like the valve cover gasket. You can see the oil staining on top of the exhaust port and draining down to the head/block mating area. Take the oil cooler over to a radiator and see if they can pressure test it for leaks. I'd hold of pulling the head until I knew if the oil cooler was good or bad.

Disconnect orange/black wire pin #37 from ECU, Does light go out? If yes, bad ECU. If no, Ohm test that orange/black wire that runs from pin #8@ the instrument cluster to pin #37 @ the ECM and see if it's grounded. If yes, repair wire. If no, problem in instrument cluster circuit board.

Here's the Fuel Boss installation Instructions. http://www.glacierdieselpower.com/images/PDFs/98.5-02-Fuel-Boss-Install-Manual.pdf

When you have a question such as axle size or type call the dealer's service department and give them the Vin#. They can look it up and tell all the equipment and options that was installed.

Did a Google search http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/cargo-craft-inc-ambrose-georgia-c86442.html

You can also check for metal in the fluid by sticking a 'magnet on a stick' in the fill hole.

I did mine about 30k ago with 75-140 synthetic with 1 bottle of additive. I use Permtex® Ultra Black® on just about every thing I put together.

I installed the Fuel Boss 6-1-13 and 7,000 miles ago. There is an Airtex I put on at the same time but I don't have it plugged in, it's just there if I need a back up pump.

That's why I moved from Rhode Island. Spent this weekend in Palm Springs

Same for me.

I think you may have 2 problems going on. Fix what you know is wrong first, the starting. You know you have a weak /bad battery, replace them both. If you replace just one, the old one left in the truck will pull the new on down. When a head gasket leaks oil in to the coolant it looks like a chocolate milkshake, a light brown/tan color. If the engine was hydro locked you would have to take the injectors out so that the coolant/oil would have some place to go when you spin the crankshaft.and when you do spin it over the mix comes shooting out the injector holes. When it starts the exhaust would be full of coolant/oil and be smoking for a while. The oil in coolant my be from flushing it and/or the heater core plugged up? Head gaskets do "rot" out due to electrolysis and is a function of time, materiel, and coolant condition. This type of leak starts out slowly with coolant lose and is noticed before there is a catastrophic failure of the head gasket.

I put a 4" stainless steel Magnaflow exhaust on mine in 2005 by my self. It bolted right in from the turbo back with no problems. There is nothing wrong with the original exhaust system and it's sitting in storage.

I need to get some of that for my sister-in-law! She's all ways walking around like her's doesn't stink.

Check out Nash's Arctic Fox trailers/5th wheels. There made for cold weather, have heated tanks, R-15 insulation in the walls and roof. Options of storm windows or thermal pane windows. http://www.northwoodmfg.com/index.php

Congratulations Another milestone in your journey through life. It is now your child's job to shelter, feed, clothe, protect, and educate him. It's YOUR job to SPOIL him.

How was the company to deal with and has any one bought their dash pad? How much change in the ash tray?

The 2ed generation Dodge Cummins does not need a cat in CA. The reference to the cat was just for general info. Sorry for the confusion.

I don't think they would find it either. They just do a quick visual inspection to see if anything has been added or removed without taking anything off. Remember, time is money and they aren't getting paid to do remove and replace work. If the vehicle requires a CAT and it's been replaced the "new one" has to have the paper work to show that it is certified by the California Air Resource Board (CARB). CARB is the main reason you see auto parts marked "not legal for sale in California". Vehicles 14,000 lb or less need to be tested. If the vehicle is full time 4 wheel drive then it is not tested on the dyno, but given a static test.
