The new truck ... part 2
At this time I only have a little over 600 miles on the truck. The computer tells me I am getting just under 13 mpg. I have yet to hand calculate a tank full since I have only burnt about a tank and a half. It is only a weekend truck used for hauling and towing. Its basically a 50%...- fatcat

The new truck ... part 2
Ah yes, I am keeping the old 97 just in case (knock on wood) any EGR or DPF gremlins appear that keep the new truck down for a day or two. That old 12 valve is just too good to give up and to damn easy to work on. The new truck will be a worker only and mainly on weekends, so the milage...- fatcat

The new truck
Picked up my new ST 4500 C&C 6-Manual 84" cab to axle. Now its over at the upfitters to get an 11' dump and a utility box installed. Mid April is best estimate to get it back. Driving it around for the few days I had it you could feel ever little crack in the road ... that suspension is STIFF.- fatcat

New 6.7l has Siamese cylinders I see.
So I read that the new 6.7l will have Siamese cylinders (e.g. no coolant jackets between the cylinders, they are all connected down the sides), which will lead to hotspots and cylinder warpage. Now, if this is 100% true, did Cummins loose their minds or do they think the new cooled EGR will...- fatcat

What year for hot roding
I'll 2nd that comment. These were the best years for the 12V trucks. But one thing to look out for in the '98s is if the engine is a #53 block which is prone to cracking.- fatcat

What are you guys have for fuel pressure?
I can get up to 38 lbs of boost, so the turbo is not a problem. Now I have the gauge testing the fuel pressure at the bleader valve on top of the fuel filter. Maybe I can compress the spring and to reduce the pressure ... but $25 for an overflow valve! Man thats cheap. I thing I'll order...- fatcat

On my old '97, I streched the spring on one of Pier's Overflow valves to help with very low fuel pressure and now I run about 38 to 46 lbs of pressure. So what do you guy guage at? My ol' truck puts out the black smoke pretty good, but it just seem to not be as powerfull as it was only 4...- fatcat
