98 5.9L 12valve 2nd Gen dies???? Help
The idle does NOT have any high idle anything, where the idle lies is where it lies. What happens a lot is the bolt that is used as the idle stop gets worn off from vibration. sounds like you need to bump the idle up. If memory serves correctly it takes a 10mm wrench. I don't have any answers...- argve

Wellman glowplugs???
I'm going to go against the popular consensence here and tell you I ran them flor many years in the Enterprise. Actually ran them for more miles than I did any other brand. What I found that kills glow plugs is these things... Too long a burn time ( plain overheat the plug) and tkming that was...- argve

yes. it will lower the low end but not much. anything larger diameter will kill mileage and lower the low end even further.... at least it did on my cummins.- argve

Punch a hole in the baffle or will it be ok?
Never did on the enterprise and never had a problem. I watched how far I shoved the drain tube in the vally though so that I gave ample room for the oil to exit the tube. Dont know if that was the secret or not. But never had problems.- argve

>>> CENTRAMATICS <<<
Yep ran them on the Enterprise and they were worth it. I will recomend having the tires balance when installed then after that dont worry about balance until new tires are installed. The thing about centramatics is they balance the entire rotating assembly not just the tire rim combo. Took thee...- argve

wiring up fuel shut-off solenoid
It's a double solenoid coil. One coil is not enough to pull it up to actually turn the fuel on so for an instant both coils are energized then one will drop off while one coil stays on. I don't have an wiring schematic handy as I'm at work and sold my Cummins long ago but a haynes manual will...- argve

what clutch for cummins swap?
I do believe that SBC is a modified LUK - the fingers on the pressure plate have been modded to add additional clamping force... but don't quote me on that I just know that is what they do with the ones for the IDI's years ago... I assume it's still the same. Because Geo purchased one years ago...- argve

what clutch for cummins swap?
haven't the slightest guess as to amount of power (numbers) but I always figured it didn't matter what the numbers were as long as it was enough power for me - if I needed more I would add something to get there and didn't care about the numbers. you should do pretty well with the stock sticks...- argve

what clutch for cummins swap?
yes on the wheel spin.... ask the guys that were at the IDI weekend following the purchase of the truck (that was dogcatchers first rally ) - I was giving rides left and right and leaving a ton of rubber out front of the campground. it's not some internet story... you can do that with the mods I...- argve

what clutch for cummins swap?
I tore my tranny apart a few times.... you can read about that saga here on this website but it boils down to the ole standard 5th gear failure and once.... once.... I welded it in place and well then a few thousand miles later it failed again but this time it broke the mainshaft in half...- argve

what clutch for cummins swap?
SBC - South Bend Clutch. I had some problems with mine but they DID stand behind it and I wasn't even the original purchaser of the clutch - can't ask for better service than that. Heck when I called them I wasn't asking for Peter to cover the clutch I was asking him since this one didn't hold...- argve

What can I say I like the dodge, love the Cummins - I like the Ford, I will always have a soft spot for the IDI in my heart. Does that mean I have to give one up and not enjoy the other......

I'm starting to look around for a 2nd gen dodge with a banger... I really miss the cummins power and fuel mileage. The Nanny goat would net 22 on a regular basis and if I kept my foot out of it on the highway she would get me 24. I loved the fact that I had all that power on tap and still had...- argve
