I'll go past the Dodge dealer and see if the parts guy will let me look at that drawing. Thanks.

If you're refering to the little 'pocket' just inside the head, this was my first thought too. But surely a parts exploded view would show it there or somewhere on the drawing. Anyway, the one I have is shot so I'd have to find a new one which I can't do unless it's identified. I went to a...

Thanks for the ideas. I called the night service guy at Cummins Cumberland and asked if they use any hoses etc. when doing a flush. He said no; they just dump it in the top of the radiator and this thing didn't come through a radiator. Of course this doesn't rule out the hose grommet idea. I had...

About 3 weeks ago I had my cooling system flushed at Cummins Cumberland in Knoxville. They used the Restore product. The temp gauge normally shows about 1/3 max, but when I left the shop, it went just past 2/3 then dropped below 1/3, bobbled around some then settled in at about its normal...

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Another thing that I've thought about is drilling into the head where the bolt threads are, and probably just a little into the bolt, but trying to stop just at the bolt. Then squirting some PB in that hole over 2-3 days. This would deliver the goods to where...

I have to replace my thermostat (90 diesel), and it sure feels like I'm going to snap two of the bolts off that hold the housing to the head. I've been thinking about this for several days, planning to put a torch on the head as close as I can to where the bolts go in, and try heat. But lots of...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep what I've got.

I have a 90 Ram. From reading what I could find, I got thermostat 3934373 from Cummins. I noticed it didn't have a jiggle pin and called Cummins to check on this. The person I talked to asked me for my engine number (44449138), then said what he was looking at said the correct thermostat for my...

There seems to be a solution for your case. Go to http://www.intellidog.com/dieselmann/filter.htm about the middle of the page where you'll see the following: 94-97: FEK200P/S $125. 00 99/2000: FEK201P/S $125. 00 Dodge Cummins kits: 12 valve: $110. 00 24 valve: $145. 00 Replacement...

I have a 90 Cummins Ram, and want to add a coolant filter. Has anyone done this and/or can anyone point me where to find any kind of kit? Thanks.
