Hi all.
This question is directly related to an ongoing thread at Cumminsforum, in which MoparMan is a contributor. http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/search.php?searchid=9890709
I didn't want to high jack the thread, so here I am.
Ultimately, it's about fuel efficiency & injectors, but bear with me!
I've got a new to me '99Cummins 2500, 5spd, with 207K mls, fully stock. Had it checked out thoroughly before purchase, and everything is A OK. Recent clutch and tranny rebuild.
My only concern now is the fuel system (which brings us back to the above mentioned thread).
Getting ready for a 2 month Baja trip and want to make sure everything is good before I go.
With the exception of the lift pump, which was replaced @ 170K mls, everything else in the fuel system is original. With the price (and core charge) of a VP44, I won't be able to carry a spare with me. Injectors, however, are another story.
Obviously I would rather do any work before I leave than on the side of a dusty highway. So I guess what this boils down to is: A -Do I even to worry about the injectors at this mileage? B-If I do, pull and clean the stocks, or replace them? C -If replacing, which are best for fuel efficiency?
I'll be hauling a 1725lb truck camper with gear, so realistically, 2300lbs.
Thanks in advance for the input.
Kevin
