My 98. 5 is just about ready for another VP44 (dead pedal). This will be number 3 in less than 125k. Love the engine, but the lift pump and injection pump problems sure are discouraging!

Good golly, sure hope it isn't the injection pump! If it is, the new one will be the third in less than 125k! I've been thinking (hoping) it was the TPS, but I'll sure have the dealer look for that code. Many thanks for your help folks. Really appreciate it.

I've got a 98. 5 model year Cummins which, after maintaining a speed of 30-50 mph for a couple of minutes is quite likely to simply remain at that speed regardless of throttle position, either in 3rd gear or in OD. Pounding on the throttle or changing gears will generally correct the condition...

Thanks folks! TDR comes through again! :) We'll plan on truckin' up through Arkansas, and I'll carry a copy of your responses with me for guidance. Sure do appreciate your help. Neal

Last time I pulled our 5th wheel over I 40 in Arkansas it was terrible. That was in 1998 and I've avoided the road ever since. Can anyone tell me if its been improved? I've got to go from Texas back to the east coast again, and the trip would be shorter through Arkansas. Thanks in advance.

The injector pump on my '98 24V died a couple of weeks ago --- dealer replaced it as a warranty repair without a word. Truck has about 41k on it.

Thanks guys! My wife has 2 or 3 hairdryers, we both fish, and I've got about a quart of alcohol in the garage. That ugly sticker is comin' off!!

Does anyone know how to remove those identification nameplates every dealer sticks on the tailgate? I'd like to get the darned thing off, but don't want the paint to come with it! Thanks for the help!
