CAnderson, I am not positive how it will work, but something has to supply the high pressure for the fuel. Either the injector it's self with fuel or like the HUIE, oil pressure. We will be getting all the information on the new in next week or so and then there will be no mistery. I take no...

:)I work for KW and we are authorized Cummins and Cat. The new Cummuns ISBE will have from what I understand basicaly the same injector as the N14, and the new ISL ect series engines. The unit injector uses machanical timing from the camshaft and the injector is supplied by fuel through a rail...

There are some transmissions for the 8. 3. Fuller makes six, sevens and eight speeds for the 5. 9 as will as the 8. 3l. You can check their website at roadranger.com. It lists all the transmissions for weight, torque ect. I saw a 3500 ram with a roadranger six speed. Used a flywheel housing for...

Definately see Scotty's Castle in Death Valley. Turn off 95 at Scotty's junction.

Has anyone looked at the recomended interval Cummins gives for oil changes? 15,000 miles or one year for the ISB. My owners maual from Dodge recomends 3,000 for severe service, which covers almost all conditions except strickly highway with few stops and starts and no towing. Mine pulls a...

It seems to me that DC may be playing the same game as in 94. Nobody knew what was coming until it was here. I personaly have no use for a crewcab, so that doesn't concern me. But I did take a test drive in a new 1500 and was impressed to say the least! It handled like a dream and the ride was...

Test drove a Dmax and the new 1500 Dodge. The Chevy is ok, but it seems to have wind noise and the top sounds like tinfoil with side wind. The Dodge seems like a Mercedes with a pickup bed on back. I was really impressed with the way it handles and rides. I think the German engineering is really...

Dana and Eaton are the same company. As I said before they would non negoiate a cost reduction with Paccar (Kenworth-Peterbuilt) so Arvin Meritor will supply the standard drivetrain. Cummins by the way will be the standard supplier of the engines for Paccar. You can still get Dana-Eaton if you...

I think it is possible that Dodge will have American axles. It is my understanding that Dana would not negotiate on cost. Paccar is offering Arvin Meritor as standard drivetrain this year for the same reason. You can stil get Dana-Eaton if requested, but it will cost more to do so. I checked out...

I think those pictures ruined my monitor.

The fact that I work on all three engines, does give some insight into the pro's and con's of each one. I think all three are good engines. They have strong points and weak points. All in all Cat is a good engine. But if I were an owner operator and figured I'd keep it past the warranty period...

I think if you look it up, a turbo is defined as an exhaust driven supercharger.

Well, in view of the fact that I work for KW, I can't dissagree with KW quality. I have also worked for F/L. The base engine for Paccar this year will be Cummins, unless you specifie Cat. Only two engine choices this year. The drivetrain will be Arvin Meritor, unless otherwise specified. This...

Thanks for the thread. I have never worked on a PSD. It was interesting reading.

What could possibly interest them over here? It's a Dodge and Cummins only here anyway. I haven't seen any real bashing of Chevy or Ford here. I am very happy with my Dodge Cummins combo. I test drove everything when I purchased this one. I had a PSD for about six months or so, traded it for...
