Removing VE-pump anti-tamper cover w/o damaging it?
Does anyone have a trick up their sleeve for removing the VE-Pump's anti-tamper cover in such a way that it is not damaged and can be replaced? Being in California, with a '88 Chummins with a VIN code that says "454", I cannot trust that BAR and DMV won't screw me and change my...- bob_442

California Diesel Conversion Tale of Woe
I hope this post helps others avoid ending up where I did... I've owned a pair of one-ton "Chummins" trucks for a a while now. One for somewhat more than a decade. One for somewhat less than a decade. I did not do the conversion for either. Both vehicles, when I bought them had California...- bob_442

Any harm in running both internal and external lift pumps?

Smog check...a bad omen (california)
I live in California. I have a number of vehicles (can't quite count 'em with my fingers) registered and insured. All but one of them are smog-exempt because of their age.

1989 agricultural 6bt clatter at idle
I've got a ~1989 agricultural 6bt transplanted into an '89 Chevy R30 3+3 dually, with a 4l80e behind it. Since it is an ag engine, it is governed at 2100 RPM. Awesome truck. I've had it for close to a decade now. Lately it has developed what I would describe as a pretty loud clatter at idle...- bob_442

Strange behavior, Cummins P-Pump
I've got a mid-90s 6bt from a Dodge implanted in a 1988 Chevy V30 Dually Crew Cab. I use this rig almost exclusively with a truck camper on it. The whole thing is just shy of 12K lbs with me in it. Behind the engine is an NV5600 6-speed manual transmission and behind that is an NP205 transfer...- bob_442
