    Road from Durango, CO to Grand Junction, CO

    I've been on that road several times. Durango to Silverton isn't too bad. Silverton over Red Mountain to Ouray is a SOB in snow. It's pretty steep with a lot of curves. Can it be done? Yes as long as you take your time, say in a low gear and don't get in a hurry and have good brakes on the...

    If your truck is vibrating this might be the culprit

    The tech said the flex plate wasn't cracked but did have some play in it. I had it changed while the truck was apart. No sense in spending $4k on a transmission job and not replace the flex plate while you're right there. The tech and service writer were both impressed. Said it was the...

    If your truck is vibrating this might be the culprit

    Don't know how long it was like that. I bought the truck in November and didn't recognize a vibration then. Definitely noticed it a month or 2 ago and just now was able to get it to a shop.

    If your truck is vibrating this might be the culprit

    Here's a nice carnage picture for y'all. This was in my '03. Had a hell of a vibration from 1750-2250 under light throttle. Carrier bearing was bad so I replaced it and the u-joints. The crack is about 2/3 of the way around and is wide enough to see daylight through. $4000 later I...

    Compression "Jake Brake" for a 12 Valve!

    Oh damn I just got a chub. Guess I might have to hold on to my smoky old 1st Gen a little longer after all.

    Rattling in Front and fuel filter replace question

    A piece of clear poly tubing attached to the drain line should do the trick.

    Back in a Powestroke

    Thanks fellas. It's got a few dents and things I want to change up but I'm sure loving the new truck...especially not having to shift the transmission. ;Sweet

    10k mod and EOT mod

    The 10k didn't really do anything for mileage for me nor did it produce any significant amount of smoke over stock. So a search in the stickies for on Google for guzzle's mod page. Excellent write up on the subject.

    FS: 1st Gen Dodge Cummins

    Located near Baton Rouge. Truck is in great shape. Just don't need it since I upgraded to a crew cab Powerstroke. Here's a link to the Craigslist ad for it. Asking $6k but open to reasonable offers. http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/cto/3325346755.html

    99 psd q's

    While not 100% accurate, one tell tell way is to look at the badging on the truck. Early 99 had the smallish "V8 Powerstroke" emblem on the fender by the headlights. The late 99s had the more conventional badging on the doors like the later trucks.

    Back in a Powestroke

    Well guys, I've been away for quite a while but I'm back piloting a Powerstroke. Picked this up today: It's a '03 F250 Lariat with a 7.3. Interior looks brand new and the undercarriage is clean. Mileage is 175k and I picked it up for $8000 after trading in the wife's Z71.

    dinamic timing advance for the ve pumps

    From what I understand, the M&H part works to advance the timing electronically by manipulating the KSB. This can work to give you additiaonal timing advance in addition to (or in place of) the pump rotation method. Results are mixed as to the benefit, but I wouldn't have a problem running it...

    Radio doesn't work

    You probably have a bad wire between the fuse box and the radio. The fuseable links are under the hood on the driver's side fender. You could check for power on either side of the links.

    smoke?

    The timing advance on the side of the pump is called the KSB. Attached is a PDF extraction from the Cummins Service Manual for the B Series engines explaining how it works. The OP's symptoms sound like the engine is allowing some unburnt fuel to be sent out. Mine does the same thing when...

    brakes!

    I'm guessing a distribution block. The big line is probably supply and one line for each front caliper and one to the rear of the truck. But that's nothing but speculation. By the way, when messing around with brakes you can bypass the RWAL system by installing a couple of fittings. This...

    Bought a Dodge

    Nice truck. If it's a 5th Gear nut issue, coupled with your comment about a driver's side drop t-case, I'm betting it came from a 2nd Gen Dodge which would make it a NV4500 and a NP241 or 241HD t-case if they got it from a HD truck. If they got a half ton drivetrain (since you referred to the...

    1990 W200 deisel

    To each his own I guess. There are bunches of them on 1stGen.org and CumminsForum just to name a couple. Congrats on getting a real truck though. :-)

    windows and doors

    Pretty sure you have to pull the plastic door trim panel off. Once inside you'll have to look to see how it's attached. Pretty sure there is a metal channel that the glass is glued in to, but I could be wrong.

    1990 W200 deisel

    I don't care if it is low miles and has had some body work, $8900 seems way too high for a regular cab 1st Gen plow truck, especially an auto equipped one. You can find them all day long for about half of that price. No way it's worth ore than about $6k if it's in pristine shape.

    Junkyard Score!!!

    I've never pulled them apart. One very important aspect is pop pressure, or the pressure the injector opens and sprays fuel. Too high the engine starves; too low and it floods (like what your's is doing.) Search around you may find a local shop that can test them for you.

    Junkyard Score!!!

    Yep. SDX was slightly lacking on notifying me about the status of my sticks, but I could usually get the information I needed. Be advised, if you buy a set it's going to take about 3-4 weeks to get them in as they are VERY snowed under and their nozzle supplier kinda got them behind the...

    Junkyard Score!!!

    Or, if you want more power, go with a set of custom EDM injectors from SDX. Me likey mine a lot.

    Junkyard Score!!!

    Valves are pretty easy to check. Timing is somewhat easy as there should be a tick mark on the timing case and a timing mark on the pump to show you about where it should be. I'd check those first. If those are right I'm going with bad injectors since the pump typically will fail off and not...

    1st gen cummins swap,what type of intercooler???

    The only intercooler offered on the 1st Gen trucks was '91.5-'93 models. They are marginal, although a little small. However since you're going into a GMC, you're going to have to measure your room and figure out what (if anything) will work. There's the option of installing electric fans to...
