For the time being, put it in 1st at every stoplight, then "D", until you can get an OSS (Output speed sensor), Gov sensor, Gov solenoid, change fluid & adjust bands. Ed

I never took my EZ off of #3. FL to UT total weight of 19,500 all stock (Except cut off exhaust) I got 15 MPG doing 60ish MPH. Ed

I second the EZ... Run it on #3. Some have a jumper, some have an in cab switch. You NEED one for 98.5-00, as the connectors are different for 02 & 02. Ed

I concur... Ed

Mu dash pad is perfect. It's just the rest that's missing. Plumber's strap holds my parts in place.... Ed

You mean we are supposed to have a dash? Go Nekkid like the rest of us..... Ed

The FSM is in the downloads section. I know of no free master parts diagram, except for like stated above. Ed

In the "24 Valve articles" section, there are writeups on the installation. Ed

Many newer senders are piezo electric & rather rugged. Ed

Look up " Rocking the valves ". It may give you more insight. Ed

I'm here at 5000' in southern UT. Yeah, the ONLY good use for political signs. I collected about 30 of them this season. Ed

A newbie with a Smarty is probably better than a Dodge tech with a DRB. Especially after the nightmares of High Idle flashing that happened last year. Ed

You can be updated to the latest software with a Smarty. Here is the map with the owners willing to help. http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/98-5-02-powertrain/940954-smarty-2nd-gen-owners-location-map.html Ed

With a cab & chassis, you cannot assume anything. They were made with many different frame lengths. Ed

I use old corrugated plastic political signs cut to the inner dimensions of the grill & spray paint them black. 5 zip ties hold each in place. Ed

I concur Ed

That sounds viable. Ed

PVC is cheap. Glue it all & if you ever have to remove it, cut it, then put a coupling on to reinstall. Ed

I'll take Mexican parts over Chinese any day !!!!!! Yeah, I really said that. Ed

NAPA seems decent. Or go to a local rebuilder & explain what you want. Anyone who does not require a core is selling you Chinese junk. Ed

It's the right thing to do. Ed

You want as much thread engagement as you can get, with the washers & chain tight to the block. A common mistake is to use long bolts that bend & possibly distort the threads, or worst case crack the block. Ed

On my 72 VW Bug, my cruise control was a red brick. 75 MPH..... Ed

The fuse is supposed to blow before the screws...... Oh Ed
