From napa I added a keyless start on my truck. Its a 5 speed and works great. It is conected to the wait to start light and when it goes out the truck starts. @8F plugged in it starts right up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDRxlXB4OgA&NR=1 this is a video I made for a sound I am looking for but you can see me use the remote start and what can I say! I love it!

VP-44 Key Picture On my wifes truck I wanted to verifiy the key was... 1. In 2. The arrow pointed the right way 3. That the number matched the number on the pump I was able to use a 4MP Cannon camera on the closeup setting to capture this picture so we didnt have to use a mirror or scope. If you didn't know... the arrow points towards the pump. the number on the key matches the number stamped on the pump. You can't use another number key

Exactly! I changed it but the only thing I can get much noise on is the injecton line on #1. I changed out overflow valve too when I did the inectors with no change is sound. Actually the sound is a little more pronounced now after inectors were cleaned and reset so that's why I was thinking injection pump since I increased the Psi by almost 500 psi. If I can get the noise beter at idle I will crack injector lines again see if I can make noise go away. --- Update to the previous post... If this helps at all. This morning on my way to work I regulated the throttle to pin point the noise beter. I hear it beter when I am at cruise speed for 4th and 5th best. Slight throttle and noise slightly a tad louder. Deacceleration by 5 mph its hardly noticeable. If not even there until I press the pedal just enough to maintain speed.If I turn truck off on compression I don't hear it at all. But when I say I don't hear it it could be there still just not so loud. --- Update to the previous post... So what noise gets quieter with heat? --- Update to the previous post... There is 3 bolts holding shut off solinoid on pump..2 on top one on back. I forgot to post that I am missing that one and i have a leak there for some time it looks like. if that one is missing could it be low enough for oil not to be able to get high enough? I been trying to find what the right size is so I can make it right. --- Update to the previous post... What would a single bad delivery valve do if it was bad.

You know... #1 Craigslist is an amazing place! You could always advertise her truck at your work and have people show up to buy it..Then you can tell her "Looks like you have can have money now to buy food if you sell a truck!"Option #2 get an Escort Service to show up at her house for her husband and at the same time have flowers sent to her..She will be mad he is spending money and when she gets home the escort will be there!Option #3 3/8" chain......park perpendicular to her hummer. Put blanket over cab of hummer as not to scratch Hummer. Put chain over hummer and attatch to opposite side from front bumper. Hook onto frame. Back up only after putting into low lock and hooking onto front of your truck. Roll Hummer over...

my 1996 didnt have overloads. I bought some on e-bay for $150. Hay dropped the back, horses dropped the back, my ex....I mean my camper dropped the back. After I got my overloads I am alot more steady with my truck and All our trucks have Overloads besides my wifes truck....It looks like its going to do a wheelie because of the suspension. Our f-450 has overloads..We Put them on our 1976 w-200 in the 80's and whats always nice is they are there and ready for the load.You dont have to maintain air.

The Mystery Knock... Written By Lance Drivon With a Bottle of Melrose Merlot 2006 :spend:It all started out in that nice May evening in 2010 installing my new plate, gauges and exaust. After installing them all and about to take off on her maiden voyage after startup I draw in a tip off a Snap-On pick that the previous owners mechanic had broke of in the inercooler boot that I wasnt aware of. BANG BANG BANG BANG.....I went cold. The riveting noise of that hollow clock clock clock noise.... SO I take it to a Mechanic who works on Big Rigs and light duty Diesel trucks. They pull the head,drop the pan. Head gets milled and magnufluxed. New genuine cummins parts gets put into engine. They said the engine looked virgin. New Piston. Cleaned cylinder. All back together and ready to seat the rings on the #1. I run it nice for about 2000-3000 miles and then start working her.So within the last few months I notice a noise. So I had accidently brought her to :nono:1600* 2 times for 4-6 seconds each time but didnt notice any noise after.(:thumb1:I was showing my dad My 96 could kill his 01...and it did.) Not the transfercase rattle:nono: but another noise. So I fix the transfercase rattle and now I can hear it beter.. Hours with a stephascope under and over the engine. I replace the following just to get rid of the common little things people always neglect to do.. New Liftpump... New Overflow Valve... New Fuel Filter.... Injectors Pop tested and adjusted by Oregon Fuel Injection... Adjust Valves... Pull all return lines and supply lines away from cab... Adjust valves...just incase the first time was wrong... The noise is still there. When I brought it back to the Mechanic they said they hear something but its nothing they reconize. I take it the next day to another diesel mechanic and its not there at idle this time. At 65 you can hear it claping away like a hydraulic lifter but softer. Some days its louder. Somedays its hardley noticeable. It has become more noticeable at idle cold sometimes.. Sometimes not.. Your really have to squint and listen to it sometimes and sometimes you can hear it just over the combustion noise of this loud critter and its crazy injection pump. Things I am thinking starting in order of what I think.. Piston Melted from hot pulls at 1000-1100* and the few short times of 1600*? #1 wristpin boss in piston cracked and making noise acording to heat or cracked piston? Exaust valve hitting piston because a thicker head gasget not used when put back on? P7100 pump #1 plunger getting hit by its cam causing a clap knocking sound. The reason I say this is that the #1 injection line will make your ears bleed and the rest of them sound the same to each other. Your ears will be numb a little and ring after listning to the #1. rod bearing but unlikely with the noise. Its not getting louder and louder...It comes and goes in volume. Seemes louder when colder <sometimes>. The truck runs smooth. No white smoke. Starts great in cold mornings. 35 psi boost and I adjusted the afc with a regulated air supply to get the settings close. I am thinking of buying a bore scope and inspect the pistons. I found out From Moparman1973 the injector nozzels are 9/32" so i found a bore scope for $100 with a 5.8 mm head and shaft I can use to inspect them. I have to order it but I need some input on will a injection pump make a noise when the plunger is getting stuck or if a piston is melted or cracked smacking the head or cylinder. Hope someone has had something like this before and I am starting to warm up the old knuckes for some finger bleeding work here. Thanks in advance guys! My wife is convinced I have gone mad but she has a 2001 2500 and she understands whats its like.....VP$$.......:evilgrin:i mean VP44
