Everything in sig plus muffler delete and manifold. Couldnt sell the damn thing so i just put it on. Ill do the math today, ill go fill up and see how many gallons i used. --- Update to the previous post... Ok so i filled up and did the numbers and got 26.27

This weekend i drove from LA to San Diego. Abot 135 miles one way. Before i left i filled up and reset my OHC mpg reader. When i got to my buddies place i was at 28.2. I avg about 60-65 mph. Before i went home we went to the drag strip in the mountains. About 20 miles of uphills. All together i put on 308 miles round trip. I used 1/4 of a tank. When i got back im at 27.1. Does this seem acurate?

ok so I cleared the codes and now im back from my meeting, drove about 50 miles and no codes so everything seems good for now.

Ok had batt disconnected all night and hooked up this morning, well once I started to drive the abs and brake light went off but engine light still on. Read the codes, 1698 & 0381. So now what. the 381 says heater/glow plugs. Well we dont have glow plugs and I did take the heater out but a while back. So what is next. I erased the codes and going for a long drive for a meeting so well see if lights come back on.

Thanks. Are there any issues i should know about when installing?

Ok got an update. Someone told me to pull out the cluster and clean the connections. So i went out and pulled it and installed it a few times. Well the gauges and ccd and no bus are gone but now have engine, abs and brake lights on. WHAT IS GOING ON??:ahhh:This is what they mean by electrical problems.

Ok so as I was driving tonight I turned on my headlights and a sec or two later all of a sudden my speedometer dropped and then the abs light came on then the fuel light and air bag and engine light. The mileage says "no bus" and the overhead console says "CCd" I do have HIDs but ive had them for almost a month now. First time im having this issue. Ive disconnected the batt and still nothing. The truck runs fine. FP is same and egts normal. No issues with driveability. Just the gauges dont show anything and the lights are displayed when driving or when just turn key to on position.

Where would be the best place to get an eb?

That is good to know, thanks guys.

Thanks for the info. --- Update to the previous post... When the eb is engaged can you get on the throttle for a sec or two? Or will it have to be turned off?

Has anyone really noticed lower EGTs after swapping to an aftermarket manifold?

Heres my truck. 2002 2500 QCSB 6spd 2wd my daily for now and race car hauler. I got it from the original owner with 159k miles and all paperwork. The inj pump was replaced @ 72k miles. It was stock besides the Bully Dog Torque dog chip. I put a 4" turbo back and CAI. I also put FP, EGT and Boost gauges and of course a Raptor 150 LP. Next on the list is to probably do a bypass filtration system. I recently did my oil change and had it analyzed. Said wear metals were good and can go to 9k interval. I also want to up the injectors a bit and get a better chip. For now the small 65hp chip is fun. Ive also added an electric brake controller and a in dash dvd player and customized the bezel for the double din. Also added the bed cover. This is when i first got it. The new LP. I decided i didnt like the grey tone on the bottom half of the truck, so i rhino lined it. Still not finished, need to do the front lower bumper part but need to order a new one. I plan on getting some black Unique Wheels but keeping the same size. Here is the new radio bezel. Today i steam cleaned the engine bay. Night and day from before. Before After Thats it for now. Thanks for viewing. Some updates. I installed an ATS 3pc manifold and a muffler delete. Sounded great and egts went down. I also got the Fast coolers for the nv5600 and put 8qts of Amsoil Synchromesh 5-30. Got a AFE diff cover for the Dana 80. And then this happend!

What about the compass and map lights on the front of the HL?

In the Valley here.

Awesome thanks.

How was it removing the headliner?

Which EB would you guys recommend?

I actually purchased the ATS 3 pc but decided not to upgrade. It is a very nice peice.

Awesome write up. Ive been thinking about doing this to my truck.

Hi guys im Anthony from southern Cal. LA area so i dont have to deal with cold starts I got my truck a couple months back from the original owner. Only had 159k miles. My previous truck was a 92 F250 7.5L gas. What a world of a difference. I love having a Cummins! Im slowly learning and cant wait to learn more. Great to be here.
