Thanks. I won't worry about the air in the line.

About to ditch the Glowshift from the previous owner for a ISSPRO mechanical and have a question. When I'm plumbing the new gauge do I just leave the line after the needle valve full of air, or do I need to bleed it somehow so it fills with diesel?

Got it. Thank you very much!!!

Thank you so much! If the ATF wouldn't give me crap about shipping over State lines I'd ship you a case of beer.

I would really appreciate that! I can PM you my VIN. And what is a service head? LOL Thanks!

Well, maybe I'll tell them a tiny white lie and say I need some transmission work done.. and ask for the maintenance history so I can have them catch anything ok that might not have been done at the same time. The chance to rip somebody off on transmission work should make their mouth water.

They probably can, but I think some are just too lazy to do it. I've called 5 different dealers now and all of them tell me I have to go to the dealer where the service was performed to find out about it. Makes no sense but it's kind of what I expect from dealerships.

I agree. I would have rather done the crankcase vent mod myself, but the previous owner must not have felt the same way. LOL That's what I get for not being the original owner. Now I just have to hope they did things right. I've put about 40,000mi on it since I've owned it (at 134,600 now) and so far so good.

Great. Thank you! I'll be heading to Radio Shack tonight

I hate California Dodge dealerships. I called three and all of them told me I'd have to call the dealership that performed the repair. That's great, except I purchased the truck used and don't know where the owner lived or serviced the truck. :banghead: Speaking of TSBs and checking if they were performed - I remember reading in a thread or article on here that you could check if the 3 cyl/elevated idle had been enabled by using a jumper somewhere on the fuse block. Is that true or am I just making things up?

Thank you!!Well, that's kind of embarrassing. I did read the TSB but only read the problem and skipped the fix because I figured whatever was posted here had to be better than Dodge's fix. :DSo, do you think there is anything else I need to do with the hose or is it positioned well enough now? Does Dodge keep a list of TSBs they perform on vehicles? (I bought mine used so I'm not sure what is done)

Is it behind this cover?

So mine looks like that except only a slightly raised (maybe 1/4 inch) circle and definitely no hose coming from it. I'll try to take a picture.

OK, so I feel dumb even asking this question.. but I'm looking at the front of my engine and don't see a hose, bottle, vent or anything like it. What I think I'm looking at is just a smooth timing cover. D oes that make sense? I crawled under the truck and see what looks to be the vent/blow-by hose but it runs back up into the side of the block above the stock LP location. So, am I really dumb enough to be missing it somehow??

So I'll have the pusher/big line kit from Vulcan soon and I want to switch the LP power source from the ECM to a direct 12v supply. I figure I should also add the 'interrupt' relay to stop the LP when the engine is cranking. How does the attached diagram look? Any problems?* Sorry in advance for the crappy drawing.

This place is awesome! Thank you!

I'm usually pretty good at using search or google to find stuff but I can't find this.People keep referring to an article/post from Michael concerning a LP relay mod but I can't find it anywhere.Does anyone have a link or know where it is?Thank you in advance!

Just posting because I wasted a BUNCH of time trying to build a DIY big line/relocation kit and couldn't do it for much less than Vulcan... so I'm basically venting.I have a new DDRP that I just installed a month or so ago and I've been wanting to relocate it closer to the tank and upgrade to 3/8" lines from tank to VP. I get about 17psi at idle and around 12-13psi at WOT with a new FF but I still want to move it so the pump will last longer etc.I saw the Vulcan Pusher Kit for about $120 + the DDRP bracket $12 + Shipping $15 = $147 and thought there was no way it was worth it.Long story, but after searching all over and finding the parts at different hydraulic and automotive suppliers (plus still needing to order the extended wiring harness and bracket) I ended up around $136 for everything. $11 savings. Not at all worth the trouble of sourcing all the parts and possibly missing something or ordering the wrong item.End of the story - Vulcan is getting my business.

Thanks for the tip! I just shot an email to him.

Fixed my signature so my truck shows up.Thanks dripley!

Thanks. I've added a signature but I don't think it's showing up yet. The truck:'02 2500 Sport 5.9L QCSB 4X4 Automatic - 135,000miNow if I could just find someone in SoCal with a Smarty....

Hello everyone!

Got it. Thanks Rogan!I guess I'll have to visit the dealership and let them rip me off (they want $175 to flash it w/ the TSB) afterall. It'll be nice to have the 3 switches though.

I know the 3 cyl mode helps warm the engine quicker due to the load put on the engine, so...If I put the truck in gear and keep my foot on the brake am I doing any harm to the trans if I let it idle like that for 5-10 minutes?What about if I do the same thing but bump the idle to 1200 rpm or so? Is that hard on the tranny or any of the parts?Sorry if it's a dump question. I only know the basics when it comes to how auto transmissions work.Thank you!
