24v flamed out......
Crazy thought but it may be the security system. Make sure that you unlocked it with the remote (if it has one) If the headlights are flashing this may be the problem. I know I was stumped on that for a couple hours once and thats exactly what the truck would do. I started it and it was...- J.Keith

Need help with upgrades
Ahhh but the Smarty dosn't hurt the top end if you run a Drag Comp, Hot Juice or I'm told a TST.;Sweet Most of the top end loss people feel is because they are floating the valves. A simple set of high perf valve springs does WONDERS for your top end. I LOVE the power my truck makes...- J.Keith

yes a Smarty will make it smoke like a bastard with that TST box. For even more smoke you'll ned a set of injectors. Just remember, it's VERY important to keep an eye on your fuel pressure. This can save you an injection pump down the road.- J.Keith

Need help with upgrades
I would go with the Smarty. Lot's of adjustment and very easy to use. The other things you'll need to do is upgrade is the fuel delivery system and possibly the turbo. And you'll be needing some gauges on that thing. Fuel pressure, pyrometer and boost are some good starters.- J.Keith

99 4x4 5 speed 53 series block cracked
Hey, 24 valves are cool:backoff BUT!!!! I wouldn't buy one with a cracked 53 block unless I could get it WAY WAY WAY under book. Don't try to fix the block if you do buy that truck. Get a new short block, get it o-ringed and slap that baby in. Redo the fuel delivery system with a FASS or...- J.Keith

240k miles + 65psi of boost = Headgasket death
Well I don't really look at it as a misfortune. It's all together again and runs awesome. 4 retorque's and it's good to go. I did the hi performance valve springs and ported it pretty good. It's all good!!- J.Keith

240k miles + 65psi of boost = Headgasket death
Yup, thats right. Last night I was screwing around with a turbo'd Eclipse with all my fueling on and sure enough, got up this morning and went to start the truck and noticed that the passenger side wheel well was wet. Pop the hood and there's coolant all over the place. Not leaking directly out...- J.Keith

cummins upgrades ?
You won't need a Smarty to make 400 hp.. A set of 80hp injectors, Edge Comp or a Edge Juice. Get a South Bend CON OFE clutch. You won't need an input shaft at those power levels. At 400 hp you'll be closer to 850-900 ft lbs of torque. Oh yea, you'll probably need a upgraded turbo if you...- J.Keith

Wierd Fuel #'s
HAHA reading this old thread makes me chuckle now! Those were REALLY minor issues compared to some of the stuff I've dealt with since! I am happy to report that I've only had it towed again once and that was when the mainshaft in the NV4500 let loose. I've put over 45k miles on it this year...- J.Keith

head gasket leaking h2o
A cherry picker will work. I use a special tool I have called "Friends":D If you can afford it I would replace the stock headbolts with a set of ARP or comparable 12mm studs. You wouldn't really have to on a stock truck but it's nice insurance! They will run you about $450 from Summit...- J.Keith

head gasket leaking h2o
Not too bad of a job at all. If you have the gasket it can easily be done in a day if you know your way around a Cummins. I wouldn't worry about doing a valve job on it unless you have some prior indication that there is a problem.- J.Keith

Extreme Newbee Help requested
Sure, well the typical cause of injection pump failure in these trucks is usally low fuel pressure from the lift pump. The lift pump in itself isn't a horrible pump but I really don't think it's up to the task of providing an adiquate fuel supply to the injection pump. Sure they work fine when...- J.Keith

Extreme Newbee Help requested
You may very well have a bad injection pump. It's a very common problem on the 24 valve ISB Cummins. You should be able to get a new one for around $1500 or so. Maybe less if you shop around. $150 to change it is a damn good price. Get a fuel pressure gauge on that thing so that you can tell...- J.Keith

My latest project (PICS!!!)
Tim, Yup I'll be getting it on the dyno real soon I hope. The wastegate is the stock one. I'm going to change that though so that I don't have to use module to control the boost. Lot's of little tunign to do on it I suppose but it's too much fun to drive. I can't bring myself to take it apart...- J.Keith

Thats right what your looking at is the very first ever, TLS Turbo Systems twin setup. My buddy Sean and I did all the work on this and every piece is handmade. Sean's going to start building custom twin turbo setups using pretty much whatever two turbos that you want. So here's what mine is...- J.Keith
