New theme for Mopar1973Man
Is it to bright? Do you get a glare? It might be something you could adjust on your phone. Myself, I find the dark background with white text easier on the eyes. Just my opinion. With the dark background it also will be easier on your phone battery.

New theme for Mopar1973Man
Will it be possible to give a teaser of the article, say write it with an overview as first paragraph then continue with the process and details but, only show the overview to non members?

New theme for Mopar1973Man
Props to @Mopar1973Man, I like the new theme on the site, digging the new colors too! I find it easier to read and like some of the new features as well. Has anyone noticed the spider web in the top left? Kinda cool for the season! Great job! I'm sure Mike will be along and explain in more detail what the new features are. So far I'm impressed.

Fuel return seals
Just ordered a pair of fuel return seals for the banjo bolt on the rear of the head for my 2001 3500 cummins. Geno's site is easy to navigate and they had the parts I needed at a good price. I was also looking at several other things on their site. I created an account, they have a wish list you can add parts to for future purchases so you don't have to keep looking them up. I found that convenient. I'll also be receiving a 6"x6" cummins "C" decal free with my order, kinda cool. Thanks Geno's!

I believe my fuel return line is leaking.
I will also do one on their site as well for that specific part.

Just ordered the banjo bolt seals from @Genos Garage.

I'll keep that in mind. Maybe pull the valve cover and clean it up and paint it? Been wanting to anyway. Should I just do the seals or is it common for the line itself to go bad?

I believe my fuel return line is leaking.
I tightened it once a while back just as a precaution. I'll try again. I'm always afraid of snapping them banjo bolts.

I believe my fuel return line is leaking.
I'm talking about the line on the rear of the cylinder head. I was under there fir something else yesterday and noticed it's wet on the back of the engine and down the bell housing. A small drip was handing on the bottom of the bell housing. It was fuel. Could see the light green color. I took my phone and tried to get a pic behind the head (it's tight back there) and it looks wet. Can't tell if it's just the copper washers leaking or if it's the line itself. So far its a small leak, just a drip. Could this cause a slight hard start issue? I noticed yesterday morning she seemed to start a bit harder than normal. (Temp was low/mid 40's) Thinking of just replacing the line, banjo and washers also whatever seals at the "T" as well. Any thoughts? See pics, best I could do in that small space.

2nd Gen Cummins heater temp differences between trucks
With the temperature fluctuations here this time of year I don't know if a 200° would be good or not. We sometimes see 40-45° swings here this time of year. It was nearly 80 two days ago, tonight's low is 36.

Just don't make a wrong turn at Albuquerque! By the time you male it home your gonna sleep for a couple days straight. That's a lot of driving. I covered about 500 miles today and tomorrow probably another 300 but I do it for a living. I'm used to it. It does wear you out though

Safe travels @Mopar1973Man, don't going falling in love with that Mercedes-Benz. We may have to start a new forum. Lol

Thinking of selling my Gen 2...help me!
I like the 1st gens to, I'm a rather nostalgic person when it comes to cars/trucks. My grandpa had an old Dodge stake bed truck here on the farm when I was real young. I remember playing in it in the garage. Don't know what year it was but it had the narrow hood and fat front fenders. Guessing from the 40's maybe. It didn't run, never seen or heard it running but I enjoyed it. Lol

Scanner For 2nd Gen.
O have a harbor freight obd2 scanner that I use fir many vehicles. It does have live data to see things in real time and reads codes. It isn't as informative as @Mopar1973Man's set up with the adrenaline but it has served me well It's supposed to also link to abs but so far i have never had it link successfully to abs.

@JAG1, that's not a bad idea. In this world gotta make some money where you can. Fuel isn't cheap. Lol

Thinking of selling my Gen 2...help me!
Like I said, I am biased. I think the 2nd gen body style is the best looking but that just my opinion.

Thinking of selling my Gen 2...help me!
I agree with @Mopar1973Man, I like the ease of reapirs on the 2nd gens. Parts are way cheaper as well. This is my first diesel pick up so I may be biased but towing and hauling with this truck compared to my previous half tons is night and day. I suppose one could make the same comparison for a 4th gen to a 2nd gen. If more space and gadgets is what you want/need then go for it. Maybe keep the '02 for a while until your 100% sure you want to part with it. Keep in mind the 2nd gen trucks are getting premium money right now so don't take a big hit on it as a trade in.

Been a steeler fan since I was a kid. Thanks to my dad. I grew up watching all the old school big names. The original IRON CURTAIN!

Picked up a new toy last week
I have a new toy in the garage. The wife actually found it for me, a Mac tools blasting cabinet. Nothing fancy, it's used but in good shape. Had to make a "floor" for it to set parts on above the media in the bottom. Cleaned it up a bit and drained out the old media. Filled with 16lbs of new 80 grit aluminum oxide. So far so good. I cleaned up a couple small parts I had in the garage and she works pretty good. I think I'm gonna add more media though. Seems to draw air in the siphon tube as the media doesn't run back down to the bottom of the hopper fast enough. Not sure how much it should have in it. No literature came with it so figuring it out as I go. Should be a handy tool to have around. Just thought I'd share

Pennzoil with TC-3
Right, that's what I thought as well. Things are getting to be ridiculously expensive anymore.

Not sure who makes the supertech for Walmart but I did the same thing. I saw the super tech price and went online at Walmart and found the pennzoil for $18 on Amazon. It should be here today. Lol

RockAuto.com cab size question - extended cab vs quad cab for headliner
My headliner is starting to sag in spots. Might pull it out someday and peel back the fabric and spray some adhesive then reattach the fabric. Hoping that fixes it.
