    Nice. Thanks, makes it seem not so scary a job now. BTW, what did you time your engine to?

    Timing an injector pump

    Well, since the closest diesel mechanic is 4 hrs away and not much smarter than one of the first things to walk on earth, I bought the timing tool kit from JD's Diesel for $180. Includes socket for DV, dial indicator w/adapter, and IP gear puller. Now, the engine data plate says IP timing...

    Timing an injector pump

    Just wondering what method everyone uses to time a P7100 injector pump on the 2nd Gen 12V. I have read the Dodge maint. manual and understand that procedure fairly well, the only problem being that I don't have the adapter and the dial indicator for the #1 delivery valve. I'm in the process of...

    price on a 94

    My t-case was clinking and banging last yr. Turned out that the wear pads on the shift forks were toast and the gearing inside wouldn't engage right. Had to replace the shift fork, and I ended up replacing all the bearings and seals to, just because I was in there. I didn't spend more than...

    Injectors

    Besides a new seal/gasket set for the injectors is there anything else I need to buy to change them out?

    Injectors

    Well I think mine are orginal injectors...630 000KM on them, if they are....might be time to put new ones in. How about the best place to get new ones and how much should I expect to pay for them?

    Injectors

    How long should a set of stock injectors last? What are some signs that injectors are bad? And lastly where's the best place to get new ones, I don't need anymore HP but better mileage would be nice.

    What is this for? (pic)

    Not that anyone cares at this point since its an old post, but I think that hole is for using a barring tool made by Snap-On (Blue Point to be exact) P/N YA9565A about $50 Turns the engine over by hand.

    Hot starting ??

    Its just a thought but, have you checked the shut off solenoid? Mine was acting all funny and causing hard starting issues. There is a thread in here some where about using a Ford solenoid instead of the cummins one. Saves big $$$ from what I remember.

    47RE to NV4500

    I haven't done it to a Dodge but with a small car. I went the other way, swapped out the 5 speed for an automatic and it was kinda a pain. I was lucky enough to be able to get all the parts I needed from a scrap yard. I think you'd be needing a bell housing for the clutch, then you'd have to...

    5.9 should I buy this?

    I bought the factory Service manual from Chrysler for my truck and it was about $100. it had a complete tear down and rebuild for all the engines in a 97 Dodge 1500 to 3500, including the 5.9L cummins. All the specs and procedures are in there. I definatley think it was worth the money.

    4x4 shfter adjustments?!?!

    There will be 2 lines under the Tcase at the front that connect up to the CAD vacuum motor lines that run along the frame on the right hand side. Also make sure that the 4 way switch on top of the T case is on properly and not leaking. There is a breather line coming off the top RH or LH side...

    Cummins block heater???

    I was able to buy a new block heater from a parts store. I think all you would have to do is knock out a frost plug and install it. Another way and by far a better heater, would be to install a circulating block heater. They circulate the coolant all around the engine and when you go to start...

    Injectors

    I was looking around the net to find a good deal on a new set or even re-man injectors. The prices vary greatly and I don't know what to believe with all the claims of huge power and better fuel mileage, obviously not both from the same injectors. Is there any way to check to see if the ones I...

    NEED HELP PICKING A TRUCK

    93 dodge, just watch that Getrag tranny though, its not nearly as good as the NV4500. Although the NV4500 did have trouble losing 5th gear, most new rebuilds have fixed it I think.

    Hard to start and bad mileage

    I assume you're refering to the injector pump. I have replaced the fuel filter and it didn't help. The old filter was nice and clean.

    Hard to start and bad mileage

    For a while now everytime I go to start the truck I have to press the "gas" pedal down just a bit for the truck to start, hot/cold, doesn't matter. On my last trip outta town besides the tranny exploding at 130 km/hr my mileage went way down. I noticed it after the tranny was replaced (clutch...
