  1. Check the automatic shutdown relay; it may be going bad. You can also give the wire harness the old tug and shake test with the engine running.
  2. I'd work for good strong coffee
  3. Why not just one T off the 1/2" line for the fuel pressure gauge then tap that smaller line with a T for the Quadzilla. This way you only need one snubber and needle valve to eliminate the hammer effect on the down stream gauges.
  4. Welcome to the forum. You can get advice for all the trucks needs right here. A lot of people on this forum with a wide range of knowledge and are willing to share it.
  5. Fuel Boss mounted. You would have to rip the bumper off to hit the fuel pump.
  6. When you get that new mechanical fuel pump the electric pump can be plumbed into the system as a back up and used for priming like this.
  7. They are disingenuous about the movement and use it as a vehicle to promote their political agenda. They want control over your daily life by imposing stricter and stricter regulations most of which have marginal environmental benefit but have a regressive effect on the economy which in turn costs individual house holds hundreds if not thousands of dollars and Pounds every year. These are environmentalists that are known as watermelons. They are green on the outside and red on the inside. This is where the communist party went with the fall of the USSR and now have infiltrate parts of world governments as well as the UN under the guise of climate change. Why else would the United Nations Climate Chief Christiana Figueres inform us "that Communist China has the right type of governmental system to fight Global Warming". They espouse that the world as we know it is coming to an end and tell us to drive less or drive and electric car, turn the thermostat down to 68° in the winter and up to 78° in the summer. Here in California they run ads telling us not to use electricity between the hours of 4pm and 9pm and with these new smart meters they charge a premium price if you do so for the cheaper rate you do you run your high demand appliances on off peak hours, this is control through the peruse. In California they also just signed into law that every new home built in the State is required to have solar panels installed, this is control by legislation. These are but two examples of the controls imposed on the citizens of this state with so many more that could fill a book. I'm sure you've seen your choices and freedoms slowly eroded over time in the name of environmentalism. These people and groups say do as I say and do not doubt for those that doubt and question are heretics an blasphemers and must be denounced and persecuted. Any one in the public eye or academe that dares speak out has aspersions cast upon them with their careers stifled or ruined. The major news organizations are complicit and work in unison to accomplish this nefarious deed. In 2008 President-elect Barack Obama said "the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal." In 2015 on Earth Day President Obama said that "rising sea levels are putting a national treasure...at risk". He also said "So climate change can no longer be denied- or ignored" and "This is an issue that's bigger and longer-lasting than my presidency." Later that year Obama issued an executive order for the armed forces and various federal offices to consider rising sea levels in planning new federal work projects. Now for the classic do as I say and not as I do, ex- president Obama with his wife Michelle have purchased a $14.58 million 29 acre estate Edgartown, MA on the island of Martha's Vineyard. I guess the all and powerful Obama stopped the rise of the oceans and our planet is healing or is it 'Do as I say and not as I do'? Oh by the way the Obamas are doing ok for a couple that just 3 years ago was only making $400,000 a year.
  8. Check the wires and connection from the trans to the PCM. When I was testing my trans with the trans unplugged from the PCM I would have the trans temp and O/D light on. If the connections are good then have the PCM tested.
  9. Does terminal #87 of the ASD relay power up when cranking. Also check fuse #9 in the junction block. This fuse powers terminal #86 of the fuel pump relay and connector C1 terminal 2 at the PCM.
  10. All of the photos in his posts and articles have been removed; don't know why.
  11. So, that $550 covers shipping cost both ways?
  12. Thanks for the photos; their great. In the first pic it looks like you're on the wrong side of the road for that part of the world and there is even some blue sky The dog is cute. She looks like some of my customers when I'm explaining car stuff to them. Sure, an amateur found a Viking treasure of more than 1500 pieces in a field with his metal detector in Staffordshire, England
  13. When I started my mobile repair shop any time I saw a Volvo I placed a flyer on the windshield, that brought in a lot of work. You will want to stock some of the fast moving parts and supplies, this will cut down on running around or waiting for parts down time.
  14. Your loosing prime, the fuel is draining back to the tank. You have a fuel fitting that not tight or an O-ring that is old and falling apart. Check all of your fuel lines and fittings. The fuel return line fitting at the back of the head has given problems. A few people have had the O-rings go bad.
  15. After testing and conferring the consensus is my truck needs a new torque convertor. The truck is used 95% of the time towing a 8,000+ pound 5th wheel and the transmission is basically stock. Which brand is good and which type, stock or billet? Should it be a single or triple disk? High or low stall speed? Any thing else you can think of.
  16. It sound like you had a mixed bag holiday with fun and new sights along with will we make it home in one piece. £500 to go 600 miles, that's about $1/mile. It might be cheaper to come to the States or Canada and rent a motorhome. You can go camping with @JAG1 and me.
  17. Good luck with the 21 year old. See if he offers to super size it. I think the clip you're looking for is part number 52028680AB and it is no longer available. https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/parts/mopar-retainer~52028680ab.html
  18. I have two scanners that I use and on will give me codes with live data from the ECM and the other will only give me codes with no live data. I think it's the protocol set up between the scanner and the Cummins ECM.
  19. You can apply dielectric grease on the connections or you can redo the ground wire from the PCM to the passenger (right) side battery like I did below. IBMobile ASE Certified Master Auto Technician Board Of Directors 1,635 1,821 posts San Marcos, CA Report post (IP: 75.39.180.178) Posted May 28, 2018 I finally got around to cleaning up the ground wire splices for the PCM this week end. It's not hard and took very little time to do. NOTE: Do this after the other modifications have been done or you will lose the ECM, VP and grid heater grounds. You need: 2 10-12 gauge butt connectors 2 1/4 heat shrink tube 2" long rosin core solder 140 watt solder gun (Weller) or small butane torch roll of electrical tape razer knife wire cutters wire striper Remove air cleaner housing this will open up the whole area to work in. No need to disconnect the batteries, just unplug the gray connector at the ground wires of the right (AUX) battery. The other gray connector has already been disconnected when the ground wires were relocated to the back of the timing cover. Disconnect the 3 plugs at the PCM Cut and strip the 8 gauge wire then cut the connector off the 10 gauge wire and strip it back to fit the butt connector. This is the connection with the cove off. This is splice #S109 that the grounds for the ECM, PCM, VP44, grid heater relay and data link connector. Slide the heat shrink on to the wire were it won't be affected by the heat of soldering. Remove any plastic covering on the butt connector, insert the wires into the connector and solder. Let cool then cove with the heat shrink. At the PCM find the two 14 gauge black with tan stripe wires. They go up into the split wire cover about 10" that's were you'll find splice #S126 There are two 14 gauge black with tan strip wires coming down to the connector. One is the ground for the data link connector and the other is not used. Repeat the cut, strip and solder process as above. When done it should look like this. 1 1 dripley and JAG1 reacted to this Quote Edit Options 2000 2500 quadcab, lwb, 4.10 ls, auto, edge ez, manual boost controller, RV275 injectors, 4" s/s magnaflow, fuel boss pump, BHAF,cold air box, issapro: trans temp, boost, egt, fp on A pillar, mystery switch, wife riding shotgun.
  20. Pin #11 of the ECM is the common sensor ground for: the water in fuel sensor, engine coolant temperature sensor, intake air temperature sensor, and engine oil pressure sensor. There is a common splice point in the harness for this black with light blue tracer wire. When ohm testing between the #11 pin and the sensors the reading should show continuity with low resistance. I think @dripley has had problems with that splice.
