I joined up mainly to explore parts for my Cummins 903, It did recognize my ESN!

:banghead:I guess I am now part of the elite! Yesterday, son Rob said the tach was bouncing again... mostly at lower rpm. the faster the engine turned, it smoothed out. (I replaced the sensor last fall) and today the truck fell flat on it's face dead. 1688 is the code stored.I put on an Air dog FRRP pump last fall too, but too late? This is a bone stocker engine with 130k miles.I will add, that the last 2 months we've had to keep the battery charger on to get it started in the morning. It would restart the rest of the day fine. I know it needs new batteries too. Volt gauge after it starts always runs mid 14v. I probably have a dead cell or two.would running poor batteries helped with the demise of this pump?And is it safe to say the 1688 code is 100% sure that I need to order a pump this weekend??

been eyeing those systems too, did you get with, or without a muffler? - - - Updated - - - No wonder the sales of cordless sawzalls have gone up!

Very well written post, MOM!Out here in the 'sticks'.. it's easier to 'spot' something out of place... or different. These days, we are faced with a new breed of cat: meth cookers.They seem to like abandoned farm houses, off the beaten trail. I was just informed last week that a 'new' neighbor has squated on a place about 3 miles north of me... and has been in and out of the State Pen over the past 10 years. He has been 'out' now for 1 month.The sheriff has already checked him out, (they need to know where these guys call 'home'.) and do spot checks of the residence to look for the obvious.My little 'hood' (about 5 families) in a 25 square mile area have already agreed to watch each other's back!We pretty much already do this anyway, but now that there is a probable 'threat', we have escalated our awareness! Suffice to say, between my cedar tree project this week, and storing more of my 'valuables' away from plain sight...I don't want to see my crap in the local pawn shop... it's been a hectic week! We are all going through some difficult times in this Country. There are many who insist the gov't should be their watchdog/crutch/pimp daddy... and they are the one's who have fallen out of the 'real world nest'. They insist that life have NO trials or tribulations, NO risks. Nothing but fun, fun, fun.The Bills, and the Laws that they demand to accomplish this Garden of Eden in actuality makes it worse in the long run!Makes me wonder why, oh why do these same people have such disdain for the Bible, (where the 10 commandments pretty much LAY OUT THE PERFECT SYSTEM) they claim that they don't want this 'forced' down their throat??? But, insist on laws and guidelines to be 'forced' down our throats? isn't this just a tad hypocritical? Makes me wonder what they might be 'hiding'? After all, Laws of man only work IF YOU ARE CAUGHT!... Whoa, I got off the path there!So, to agree with you on your 'awareness' observation; My son came home from Afganistan with a new phrase... I am sure many of you know this as well: Stay Frosty.

Yes, It is a 'key on' type gauge. when 12volts are supplied, it will sweep up, then down to zero, then settle on the actual read temp. (power on calibration). It supposed to run this test each time it's keyed.If it warms up today, I might light the fire and see what it does!

Ryan just want to be the first to fart in your new covers! Btw, how does the fabric feel? is it a pretty 'tight' weave ie: abrasion and snag proof??

I got my auto meter pyrometer installed today in my big Massey... the one with the 903 Cummins.Just like the instructions said, it buzzes when the gauge sweeps up and down (auto calibration). But, today was around 30 degrees outside, and the gauge said it was 300-400, with a stone cold engine.I didn't want to fire up the engine (takes too much fuel just to hear it run, and it wasn't plugged in either).Do these things need some time to 'learn' the curve? or do I have a dud?

All I got is the 'owners manual'. shoot, that publication wouldn't make good toilet paper! 14 different languages, and one sentence in 'carb adjustment': "Take saw to qualified serviceman for adjustment". Did some searching on this particular saw, and quite often a plugged gas cap breather is a possible culprit. I have really good compression, good spark. From what I can see on the carb, that lil dude must have a '2 barrel' type body.. I have a suspicion that when wot is rolled on, the 2nd butterfly opens... and that's when things go south. I've never seen a carb quite like that.

I was just informed that I have 10 days to clear cut about 45 acres of feral cedar.. I knew this was coming up, and bought a 'herd' of cheapo poulan 3314 saws for 70 bucks a piece. *factory refurbished* they look brand new. Most of these trees will be 6 inch in diameter.. but I'm going to flush em with the ground. I'll be 'in the dirt' quite a bit. (my Stihl won't see the light of day on this project!)So, race out and fire one up.... got it started and it accelerates ok when warmed up... but boggs down and dies at wot. At idle and medium throttle, it appears to be on the verge of too rich (almost 4 strokes)... about where I like to hear them.... but at wot is where it goes south.... bogs down and croaks.So I think to myself, open up the high idle a tad. wrong! no slotted screw... Just a smooth peg sticking out of the carb~ special tool to engage needed! grrr. Will snag the proper 'driver' tomorrow!Of the 3 I bought, I found one that seems to run out ok for today... but any suggestions on the other 2 that have similar problems? I am hoping that sitting in a box for untold months that they suffer from the gummies! I'll try opening up both mixture screws a couple turns, (to dislodge any crud) and start over with the settings

Thinking back, I've had at least 2 or 3 frost plugs 'rot' out on my various diesels... and they have ALL been at the back of the head. I wonder if that location is prone to erosion/corrosion/electrolysis? Brand of engine didn't seem to matter... It might be my water! If you can get at the plug to pry it out, (the larger one's will 'spin' sideways when hit along the outside edge) You might have to drill a small hole and snag it with a screw) I've tack welded a pull knob (old bolt) when all else fails. Those smaller ones are pesky lil dudes.. they don't spin sideways, not enough room to weld a pull point, and tend to just get deeper and deeper in the bore when you try to hack them out... If you find a head gasket leak, you can kill two birds with one stone here. If that plug is really rotted out, you might want to do them all at the same time. I use Indian head gasket shellac on frost plugs to glue/seal them in.

"Too good a filter"LOL< reminds me of my FIL when he'd say: Don't buy those dang Brand X filters.... the dumb things just plug up! (ya had to know the guy to appreciate that statement...)Good discussion here!

It's really not that big a deal folks. It's the nature of the fuel, I've got several propane powered jd's, and after a whole year of running, the oil is just a tad darker amber than when it's fresh out of the jug. This could be around 500 hours of running. Sure, there is probably some of important elements of the oil that has been burned/cooked off... but it's still transluscent. I am sure it's worn out too. (the lubricity factor) These tractors have over 20,000 hours (million mile equiv.) on the original rings and bearings. Then my 3208 cat, 466 JD's, 903 cummins 354 Perkins, 540 Perkins all turn the oil black the instant you turn the key! And have done this since almost new.. After 35-40 years of service and 18-24K hours on these "OLD" hunks, They have a little blowby, but still are very servicable.Geez, I just realized, Most of these hours (almost 100,000) were put on by me or a family member.. Thats a lot of 'SEAT' time! No wonder I gotta see a chiropracter a few times a year!How many guys are counting on a million+ miles in here? Most bodies will have rotted/fatigued off the frame long before that.

I agree with mike on this... I never seen an oiled element on an ag tractor. Most will use a filter within a filter.. but they are dry. And these machines are in the dirtiest environment known to man! (sometimes I'll get almost 10 pounds of dirt blowed out each day) I think the combinations of an oil, and a little dust would 'cake' pretty easy, and it would be similar to throwing a plastic bag around the filter... Unless you washed very very often!

ok, I've read a couple of red flags here! First you smelled ether. Next you found a coolant leak.enquiring minds wanna know: Did they blow the head gasket and you are pumping a little compression pressure into the system?Take the radiator cap off, (when it's cool) and fire it up. Look for bubbles, it'll take a little time for them to appear.If they've stretched the head bolts with half a can of ether, You better not try to plug it with stop leak.Or, you might of just had a weak frost plug that was going to go... (corroded) and it just happened to show up sooner or later. a little more system pressure might be all it took. Good luck!I've used up lots and lots of cases of starting fluid over the years.... and it's easy to over do it! Head bolts/gaskets are the victims.Starting fluid evaporates very very easily, and it's a certainty that it's totally gaseous by the time it hits the combustion chamber.. So it really isn't any more 'dry' than air itself. It takes a liquid to actually 'wash' the film of oil off the walls and rings. Most starting fluid these days has a upper cylinder oil added to it anyway. (light oil).

I have seen most 'diy' liner kits usually come with base white and black.. and you can mix to various levels of gray. From what I've read, its just a matter of adding the pigment factor (from paint shops) to 'color code'... some guys will purchase a spray gun to lay it down, or choose to slather it on with a roller. Done right, I kinda like it!

Thats true! (lots of them).. until it's time to find one! I swear there is a whole 'community' (4btswaps.com) that make em pretty darn scarce.. Seems like east coast is easier to find them.. probably from the slug of box trucks there. Around here, FedEx trucks are owned by private guys.. and once in awhile you might see one getting parted out. UPS trucks (i am told) are crushed. They don't want them used in possible T&rrorisT plots using brown santa sleds. geez.

about a year ago, I was going to write a check for a ISB 175/ allison combo to put down in my '97 1500.. then a little mishap with the '97 put the skids on that! had found a shop in Utah that found a way to reflash the cummins ecu to just about any level I wanted.. 250-300 hp was my target.. They asked me "why so LOW'?? Geez, all the bugs are worked out of the design, the Cummins name is already self aligning with durability.. I can only wonder: why not? Public perception of "just a 4 cylinder".. Maybe chrysler is tired of these engines that 'just wont die'.. and slows down repeat customers to the showroom.. and hate sending Cummins a check every month... After all, the most expensive part of a vehicle is the driveline.. and when someone else gets paid for it... profits go down. I'd think as a 'gofer' type vechicle with occasional medium pulling.. the 4bt/isb is a nice match for a half ton.

speaking of blow by, has that guy with the severe blowby @55 mph ever come back? I am afraid to google:"Man mysteriously falls from Dodge Ram... "

get back under there and check to see if you've thrown a cap off your new joint. It IS possible to have either mis installed the clip or forgotten to install it altogether! u talking the actual axle joint at the knuckle right?How tight was the press fit? I've never had one go back together as snug as I'd like to see.. and if you had a clip break/fly off, a flung cap is the result. check your wheel bearings and front prop shaft too.

good to hear!Always makes me chuckle when I hear 'lifetime' warrantee! (They don't know me very well do they? )My problem is finding the dang receipt to make em honest!

what is the paint/finish? I've been leaning towards either a flat or semi flat look on mine. Maybe even bedliner (up to the door handle anyway)Nice pics:thumbup2:

you have a stick or automatic? Can you have someone pull start you... It's a little easier to diagnose starter/battery/pump problems when engine is already warmed up..I have a 2000 that if I don't start it at least every 4 th day this winter, then there isn't enough juice after the heaters take their share. I just keep it parked so I can tug it with a tractor, my batteries are 3 yrs old tho.

FIL took an old semi truck compressor many years ago, and made my first homemade shop air compressor. It came with a about a 8 inch v belt pulley. It's a single cylinder, all cast iron, I believe it was even plumbed for engine oil.. (which I just filled with oil and capped) Dang thing went almost 40 years before I had to have something with a little more CFM.. It is made to run all the time, and has internal valving to stop pumping when a certain pressure is obtained.... usually 120-130 is where it kicks out.All I can say about those 12v pumps... "beware of Chinese junk" Check your boneyards for possible take offs.

got email notification today that the ECM is FIXED, and is ON IT"S WAY HOME!!Pretty cool, that I got an email stating the part was received on Monday, another one on Tues stating the part was assigned to tech XYZ, and today's stating it was shipped out @ 8:15 am EST.Should have it in my hot hands on Monday or Tues... But it sounds like we are in for a butt load of snow.. which of course will make any 'test runs' dicey..update: ONE WEEK LATERgot it installed , and after it's initial 'learning' mode, it leaped to life. Smooth as a sewing machine.of course, the rebuild also has 'security seal' on the cover, so I can't peek at what they did! (unless I want to void the warranty)

true... on the ultimate part.... at least the 'bike' doesn't run back to the barn when it bucks off it's rider!I've come up with some pretty explicative words on those long 4-5 mile walks home afoot!
