They stick out less than 2 inches. Even with 265-75s it still looks good, hardly any overhang past the tires... . Bill

Hi, I have the bushwacker oems on my shortbed 2500. Check my pic in readers rigs link. I haven't painted them but I may paint them bodycolor... Bill

Well today I purchased a new lift pump from cummins in Bristol. $150. 00 same price that I was quoted at freightliner. I installed it today. Also I drilled oversize three banjo bolts. I went from having 3 pounds at idle to now having 12 pounds at idle. I haven't had the truck back on the road...

Hi Chief, I took you advise and called SE Power. Wendy wasn't in. They transfered me to someone else. He said somebody purchased the last 3 kits last week ... . :{ . Well it was worth a shot anyway. They said they would call me if they get any more in stock ..... Bill

Ok the Hoesli diesel website has the latest part# 4943048. I am planning on doing the pump relocation at a later date. Since I just installed the fuel pressure gauge, I want to establish a baseline pressure first. I am planning to drill out the banjo bolts ever so slightly while everything is...

Hi, I had a similar problem 2 months ago. Trans absolutely wouldn't downshift into 1st unless I manually shifted it. I replaced the trans pressure sensor and solenoid and everything worked fine after that. Mind you my trans is completely stock ... Bill

Hi, does anyone else know the best place to acquire a cummins lift pump ? Also anyone know the latest part# and if the campaign pumps are still available ? If they are not what is the average going rate for a new pump ? Not trying to be cheap but I have 2 wonderful kids and one on the way so...

Yes, no codes. VP44 was replaced under warranty 1,000 miles ago. New fuel filter at the same time. Power was slowly diminishing so I installed the fuel pressure gauge over the weekend. Fuel pressure at VP schrader valve is only 3 pounds at idle. Truck is off the road til this is repaired. Truck...

Well I just installed an isspro fuel pressure gauge on my 2002, and as I expected by my no power over 2500 rpms, my factory lift pump with 45,000 miles on it is shot. Anyway I want to replace it with the latest cummins lift pump. What is the latest and greatest part number and what type of price...

Well, I'm happy to report, I replaced the govenor solenoid, sensor, and also the speed sensor on the transmission. New filter & 7 quarts of ATF+4 plus I turned the line pressure up 2 turns. There was very little shavings on the magnet in the pan. Buttoned everything up & its shifts perfectly. One...

Hi, I emailed mopar4less.com and a few other places but no one has gotten back to me yet. Does anyone know off hand the part#s for OEM auto trans sensor and solenoid on my 2002 ? Also anyone have any comments on me removing the trans cooler return line check ball ? ..... thanks ..... Bill

Ok, I'll check the dealer. Anyone have any thoughts on me removing the checkball in the transmission cooler return line to improve flow? Any pros or cons to doing this? I hear you need to idle in neutral in order to fill the converter because of drainback. I may hold off on the valve body til after...

Ok, I'll pick me up both the solenoid and sensor. Anybody know the best/cheapest place to purchase them? Whilst I'm in there I may as well upgrade my valve body, & adjust the bands. Also would you guys recommend that I remove the checkball in the transmission cooler line? Oh and I plan on refilling...

Hi, I've had my 2002 since new. I just signed up "finally",so this is my 1st post. :) It's been trouble free up until this summer when the vp44 went south and was replaced under warranty. Anyway I have about 800 miles on it since the new pump was installed. Last night when I took it for a spin...
