Welcome. Nice looking truck. I like the color combo of gold over black. Let us know what your questions are.

I Had an 4' high by 88' long block wall built with all the materials delivered on 12 pallets. The block and brick company charges a deposit of $31/pallet. I bring back 6 pallets at a time and after returning the last 6 I drive up to the office for the refund. My wife says, "park it here in front of the sales office". OK. My wife and I go into the office, get the refund, turn to leave and are greeted with "is that your truck out there"? "Why yes, it is" I replied. He then requests if I could move it because his trailer is "Real close " to my truck. " No problem" I tell him, and we go outside to see what needs to be done. I see that his trailer is almost inside my truck and the trailer's spare had rubbed on the right door. I moved my truck over a couple of feet and that's when I saw the damage to the right front fender. This guy wasn't going to tell me that he had damaged the truck. I think he hoped I would have just moved the truck and not looked for damage, wrong. When I saw the damage, I said "license, registration, proof of insurance" and he gave it all to me. All right. I then pointed to my trucks wind shield and said "Do you see that camera in the windshield? It's video recording everything that going on". With that revelation he finally said " Ya, I did it". I uploaded a 3-part video on YouTube from the dash cam. In the first video the action starts at 1min 44 sec into it. The second video the action stops after 50 sec. The third video has action all the way through it.

And yet some people see the evil at play and turn a blind eye towards it...it fits their agenda.

That much wood in the back of my truck and it's on the helper springs. Nice log splitter there.

@DrJekyll86welcome. This is the place to be to help keep your truck running trouble free. You might want to do these wire mods in conjunction with the W-T mod. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/electrical/pcm-ground-splice-repair-r675/?tab=comments#comment-115 https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/electrical/alternator-and-pcm-protection-r617/

Right you are. My pic is to illustrate what 245/75 R16 tires look like on a stock suspension 2WD truck. @Mopar1973Man picture shows what 245/75R 16 tires look like on a stock suspension 4WD truck.

This is where my manual boost adjuster is mounted, the top of the alternator bracket.

These are the line pressure numbers after @Dynamicrebuilt the transmission in 9/2019.

Congratulations but I've seen your luggage and a paper bag with underwear doesn't count.

Maybe I missed this but are you getting fuel out of the lines 4,5, and 6? and how much?

Let's not forget about the next maybe "pandemic" coming down the pike, monkey pox. They are slowly ramping up the hysteria over this one. As of 6/10/22 "Public health officials have identified 45 cases of monkeypox across 15 states and the District of Columbia, up from 21 the week before, while more than 1,300 cases have been detected globally in 31 countries." ¹ The US now has over 100 million doses of smallpox vaccine with almost another 2 million either ready for shipment or being produced. ¹U.S.News

Deisel fuel to go to $10/gal by this fall. Price of food to double by Sept-Oct, from what it is now, due to increase in production (diesel) costs Wheat shortage due to war in Ukraine which is the 5th largest wheat producer and known as the breadbasket of Europe. There will be famine in the world this winter. Wheat price has gone up 18% since January. Price of heating fuel oil has doubled in a year and is still increasing. The cost of LNG is going up due to supplying Europe after shutting off Russia's pipeline and lower US inventory. Housing market in in a nosedive due to overbuilding and rising interest rates, you may see a repeat of the 2008 housing market.' Let's go Brandon! They got what they voted for.

These two articles might help. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/electrical/alternator-not-charging-testing-voltage-control-r538/ https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/electrical/alternator-and-pcm-protection-r617/

Is that for both sticks and auto transmissions?

Hand calculation is the only way to get a true MPG reading. Be sure the speedometer/odometer reading is correct for tire size. When I changed my tire size from 265 to 245 75- 16 there was a + 3.2% error, at 60MPH the speedo was reading 62.

@JAG1, just off the phone with Glenn and told him about the campgrounds you found northern CA. He says he might be interested in them and want more info. If anyone else knows of good campgrounds north of Reno or Susanville, please chime in.

You're probably already doing this. Pre lube all parts before assembly.

I can't afford to use a diesel pump, so I haven't experienced that problem. Cheapest diesel price near my house is $6.59/gal.

Above was two short years ago and now, they got what they voted for.

A letter from the IRS works for me.

When my torque convertor failed it would not lockup and the trans temp would be very hot going up hills pulling my trailer.
