Clutch pedal position switch or starter relay. Next time no start happens, with someone turning the ignition switch and clutch pedal pushed in, test for power at terminal 86, 87 and 30 of the starter relay. If no power at terminal 86 test for power at clutch pedal switch. If no power from clutch pedal switch (yellow wire) then replace pedal switch. If no power to clutch pedal switch then test for power at yellow wire from ignition switch. If no power from ignition switch then replace ignition switch. If no power at terminal 30 check fuse #9 (30 amp) in PDC. If no power at terminal 87 Ohm test terminal 85 for ground continuity. If open circuit repair ground. If terminal 85 continuity is good then replace relay If power at terminal 87 then test for power at starter solenoid (brown wire) if no power repair open circuit in brown wire. If power at starter solenoid the repair/replace starter motor.

I found them on Amazon in the automotive parts section. FILTERWEAR pre filter F104K $24.95 FILTERWEAR pre filter F105K $29.95

Thanks for the proof reading. It's been corrected to ID: 4.0"

I found that the Napa, Wix, Fleetguard and Cummins had the same size specifications. The Baldwin and Hastings have almost identical web site lay outs and had the same specifications.

Yes, this one is: length 12.38" outside diameter 8.5". The larger type is: length 11.88" outside diameter 10.5". Fleetwear makes pre filters for both sizes.

I did the rubber hose on the low pressure AC pipe between the evaporator and the accumulator. I made my heat shield from the heat shielding material used between the catalytic converter and the bottom of a car. I use the same shielding material for the exhaust pipe of a generator in my 5th wheel. Exhaust pipe side ~200°F+ and the other side ~95°F

I can't remember exactly how long but It took two or three days for all the air to purge it self from the system and the noise to stop.

I've decided to get the proven brand, Bosch RV 275 injectors. There is nothing wrong with my injectors and I want to keep them. On Dap's web site the RV 275 are $ 65 each plus $17core charge for total of $492. At another DAP web ad, they are selling them for $379 and $100 core charge Dap is selling them on E-Bay for $489 with no core charge Vulcan want $429 with no core charge.

I'm getting ready for a 5200+ mile trip and with just over 100K miles on the clock I've been thinking about replacing my injectors when I do the valve adjustment before I go. I was looking at Bosch 275's when I came across these on E-bay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Dodge-Cummins-RV275-Performance-Injectors-for-98-5-02-24-VALVE-5-9L/161397044745?hash=item2594037609:g:KBQAAOSwxH1T8Kjl&vxp=mtr They're made/supplied by Sundieselsystems http://sundieselsystems.com/performance-products/performance-injectors/ Has anyone had any experience with this brand of injectors?

Great to hear! Nothing like that new truck smell, May you have many happy motoring miles, Just don't pour the DEF in the wrong hole, I met a man who did that on his 2017.

Sorry to here that. Some people are real proud of their junk. I bet a salvage yard wouldn't give him more than $150 for the pile. I've found it best to talk to the owner face to face as soon as you find out that there is a vehicle to be sold /salvaged/ parted out. Then you know yes, no or hell no. I have people calling me up all the time to see if I want to either buy their cars or take them off their hands or part them out. I use to take them and part them out but the Boss Lady put her foot down and told me she didn't want to live in a "junk yard". Since the first of the year I've had 5 cars offered to me. Two belonged in the bone yard and one wanted $1000 to much. Last week I got Volvo for free that just needed a transmission control unit, cost $100 for a used one. Today I bought a used Volvo wagon for $100 that has a blown head gasket, I estimated cost of repair, parts and machine work, less than $500.

Not a novel but important information. Thank you.

Done My VP came from DAP

Mine went out about 900miles from home, just north of Riggins, ID, going down a 2mile long 6% grade with a 8,000 pound trailer be hind me. Luckily it was 23miles from Mike's house.

When a carpenter thinks he's a mechanic.

Are you offering free instructions for that?

I think I do.

@dripley what size diff do you have? I'm seeing about 18 freeway, 16 city and 10.5-13 towing two trailers 12-14 towing just 5er.

My bad. This is the one I was thinking about. https://www.bluechipdiesel.com/runningtests

I've driven that grade a few times, coming from pheasant hunting just north of Calexico, pulling my 8k lb. 5er. To keep my temps down I down shift to 3ed, lock up the TC, work the throttle and hope I don't get stuck behind a big rig that's doing 30 One time I had to take the Edge EZ off to run it through smog but it just unplugged and plugged back in. I left the boost elbow on and kept the boost under 20.
