Happy Thanksgiving all you Cummins lovers

[Cowboy Doc]

Hey Everybody-

 

Just checkin' back in, I haven't been posting but have been following from time to time, and wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.  I have learned so much from others on this site that has helped me out. 

A bit of an update on my "new" 2002 6 speed that I got in late July in SLC, and the Carter bit it on the way home.  Good news is the VP didn't seem to suffer.  Checked in with y'all, and got some good advice/ pointers.  Got back home finally mid-Oct, with a pile of parts boxes waiting for me, and dug into it.  

Chose to tilt the bed instead of dropping the tank, and my little JD tractor made a great bed lift device.  Had to replace the fuel sending unit (what a piece of crap for a factory design) which was OK since I installed the Draw Straw 1 w dual fuel return.  Mounted and plumbed a FASS Titanium 95, and added their electric heater element.  I left the Carter on the block, but plumbed all 1/2 in. through the stock FF and then a Big Line kit to the VP.  Man, gotta LOVE JIC and Push Locks.  It all went together well.  I put a fuel snubber in line half way between my stock FF and the VP, and the kit also had a test port fitting on the VP intake, so I can check the EV 2 gauge, manually.  The FASS puts out a steady 18 psi at idle and WOT.  Took my time over two days, it all went pretty well.  Followed the YouTube T-bred Diesel video, cracked 1 & 3 injector lines, and she started up.  Good stuff.

Started to change out my stock manifold, and gave up, woosed out and had the shop put in the new BP Pulse manifold and 4 inch SS exhaust.  She's coming along.  I did the @WT alternator/ ground wiring change out in about 2 hours, as per Mopar1973Man's instructions;  just to make things right. 

On to the Quad Adrenaline.  Timing is everything, isn't it?  Synchronicity- I'll be ready to buy just when the new hard wired monitor comes out. 

Then we'll talk injectors.  

 

Again, enjoy time with your friends and family on Thanksgiving, travel safe, and eat well.
