BPINE, Disengage? I assumed that the better friction material and larger clamping surface would equate to engagement issues. Any input on break in method or is that not necessary?

Hey guys, I ordered one of these upgrades on Monday and I can't wait for it to get here! Anyone that has done the upgrade have any feedback they care to offer up?

I believe the fan pulls air through the radiator. The ring you see is dirt in the air that comes through the radiator from outside.

Has anyone found the cure for the wash board road shudder / dither that you feel under heavy load at part throttle? My 99 5 speed with 275's and an EZ box does it in 5th gear with the horse trailer at about 1800 rpm. This past weekend we went to the horse trials at Flora Lea farm in NJ. When the...

Am I missing something here? The turnbuckle will prevent the actuator from opening the waste gate regardless of boost. Why can't I simply remove the hose and fitting from the turbo to the actuator and put a pipe plug in its' place? With no pressure from the turbo, the waste gate will stay...

Only if you run the engine at it's HP peak which I'm sure is not 1800 RPM. I would figure the engine good for 1/2 it's max rating. I have a 30 KW gen set that is powered by a 2-71 detroit. I believe the rating is about 75 HP and it runs at 1800 RPM.

No with the 275's the truck was smooth as silk. The addition of the EZ made the engine sound "coarse" or harsh although the power seems good, made a noticeable difference in towing power.

Had a new pump put in under warrantee last week. Symptoms were heavy smoke at start up, no diesel clatter (sounded like a gas engine) shudder, buck, wash board road feeling at ~1800 to 2000 rpm under load and no response to throttle input from time to time. I had to walk the dealer through how...

Cummings is about right if it made 500 HP however... ... where did the $3,000 figure come from? Speaking of the M. A. D. ecm, what ever happened to that whole thing? There has been -0- about it in over a month?

I just this week had a new injector pump put in my '99 3500 5 speed. My truck started with a slight hesitation which progressed to a "flat spot" which wound up as no power at all when I stepped on the go pedal. The dealer changed the fuel filter, put in the fast idle TSB and then found the relay...

With all the talk about bad lift pumps, has anyone figured out what exactly goes bad on them? I changed out my lift pump just a couple of weeks ago and do agree that there is a seat of the pants change in performance. At the same time I took my old pump apart and the rotor and vanes are like...

My wife and my 19 year old daughter drive my truck. The wife thinks of it as transportation but the daughter is more of the "400 hp jukebox on wheels" type. ------------------ '99 3500 QC, 4x4,5 speed, Intense Blue, 275's drilled air box, silencer ring MIA, Geno's M-E pipe.

I just changed out my lift pump last night. For anyone who is going to do this, be sure to remove the fuel filter, it makes the job MUCH easier. The pump I put in came from Cummins for ~$135. 00. My old pump read about 5 psi at idle, I did not do any checking on the road. The real problem was...
