    New to dodge and Cummins

    Good to know. I’m about to pick up a 08 with 60k. Starting to do my research on deleting it. The 07-08 seem to have a little bit of a bad rap but at least they don’t have def.

    Looking at an idi

    3k for a turbo CC in good shape is a steal.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Actually drove it to work and back for the first time in a long time! Still fighting air intrusion issues but it made it home 25mi in second gear through the mud.

    What's a top dollar IDI worth?

    It’s the inflated BS of the new trucks that is holding up the prices of the Powerstrokes etc. that and the increased emissions stuff.

    Best way to remove old injector o-rings?

    I’ve been working on mine lately. I just gotta say I hate those green clips! They make me want to buy the billet rails.

    What's a top dollar IDI worth?

    Is it white? Asking for a “friend”. I probably shouldn’t admit this on here but I paid 6 for my 92 CC. 250k. I’ve recently seen a low mile NA cc that has a 14k asking price. That seems outrageous. I think the powerstroke is a fair comparison. Any IDI should be 4-5k less than an equivalent PS.

    I did but just barely. Got it started and let it run of half hour. Sat for an hour and wouldn’t restart. Had a leaking cap on one injector and a leak at the tee where the driver side injectors tie into the return lines. Started to pull the wiring harness apart to remove the unused wires...

    Really happy with the relay and wiring. The connections are so much better than what I had. The driver side wiring is somewhat longer than what I need but I haven’t cleaned it up and zip tied everything yet.

    $8000 for a conversion

    I have a 89 heavy half ton with sentimental value that just blew the 350. Would love to put a 12v in. Wish I had the skills.

    Appreciate the customer service. My relay doesn’t have any sharpie on the top of the post. I guess that’s why I was stumped. Got it installed tonight in the dark and snow. Have to wire up my switch and try it out. Has anyone done a write up on removing the stock GP controller and associated...

    Hey Wes, Got the kit. Looks great. Working on installing it. This makes me look like a tool but there is no obvious marking for the ground post. It may not matter but your instructions mention the ground marked in black. (?). This is going to be a great upgrade and a huge improvement over my...

    High altitude N/A performance.

    I’ve missed two parts trucks with banks setups in the last couple days. Is an engine with a Banks sidewinder superior to a stock turbo?

    Glow plug issue might not be working....?

    Sounds like the same problem I’m in the middle of fixing. I tried a replacement GP controller and it clicked just as you’re describing. (With brand new ZD9’s). I ended up getting a kit from Wes to eliminate the stock controller. Should be here tomorrow. For comparison sake I started mine with...

    High altitude N/A performance.

    Just missed a parts truck with a banks kit on it. Someone on this forum probably got to it before I did. In Redding, Ca. Are the R and D kits superior to the Banks? I’ve heard parts are hard to find for the Banks.

    BEST advice for long sitting 7.3L IDI non turbo re-start, first cold start?

    High altitude N/A performance.

    I will have to research water meth. I’m more tempted to buy a second IDI with a turbo than attempt to install a turbo on my existing truck. Just not sure I’m enough of a mechanic to own two 25+ yo trucks.

    High altitude N/A performance.

    That’s literally what my truck looks like pulling any kind of pass even empty unless I downshift and poke along at 35. I bought my truck out of Portland so it is setup for sea level as well.

    High altitude N/A performance.

    I’m a GC that tows a ~5k car hauler full of tools with my 92 CC. Everyone told me before I bought it that I would be disappointed and it is somewhat true. My question is what can be done to tune my IDI to run best at 5-6k ft without going straight for a turbo? I’m not much of a mechanic and am...

    Is this IDI the right truck for me?

    If it’s white I will be super jealous. Let me know if you decide you don’t want it.
  22. MrStretch

    Hard start. Glow plugs/fuel.

    I plugged my truck in the other night and it fired right up in ~20 deg the next morning. I’m getting the kit from Wes to do away with my GP controller. Hopefully that gets me back on the road. I think my fuel leak is fixed for the moment and I’ll decide what to do next. Maybe nothing until it...

    I picked up zd9’s off amazon for something like 9.00ea.

    Just dropped you an email. Also re-read your post and now I think I understand you have two different setups. I definitely want to replace the controller completely. -Marlin.

    I’m fighting my glow plug system right now. I’m not much of a mechanic so my understanding of the controller is limited. Can you explain what the controller does when you have the manual system installed? How do I prove my first responder status to get my 17.00 discount? ;-)
