Hi all, There seem to be plenty of them out there. Any recommendations for a good sized garden plot to keep the deer out? And I know what some you guys will say but I only own a wrist rocket!:D paul

I've seen quite a few posts regarding rpm adjustment that say you shouldn't ever rely on the eom tach.

cuz I'm Skeert!

one other thing came to mind. If I don't aske questions regarding things I'm not clear on how am I to get "a better understanding" of the engine? I thought that was one of the main reasons for there being a TDR website? paul

Yep. And there's plenty of real good info. here. Thanks paul

kenny61, no but its garaged (unheated). It'll start ok if I gently let up on the pedal and let it idle. however the idle seems low. When I back out and stop it will stall two or three times when I brake unlessw I slip it into neutal before stopping. All I want to do is check the idle! How hard...

cojhl2, No offense taken! Its just that it seems like adjusting the idle is simple enough and no need to take things apart. I'm not totally incompetant but wouldn't mess with things that seem to involved. I've never had an issue adjusting the idle or timing on a gasser with a tach/dwell meter.

Hey all, '96 CTD, 4X4, 140K. PrimeLoc. Changed the fuel filter and the WIF light now is on. Drained the filter, still on. DISCONNECTED the WIF sensor, still on! what gives? other than a little piece of electrical tape over the light, any suggestions? thanks, paul

As mentioned in my original post, I'm a newbie so bear with me. I've got the Chrysler shop manual for the appropriate year. No mention of harmonic balancer. Would vibration damper be the same? That I can find both in the book and on the vehicle. I'm trying to learn all this as I go along and...

Ok. So I've got a laser tach. I'm still not too clear as to where I put the "reflective tape". Any help? Thanks, paul

Thanks rattle trap: is this what you had in mind? Digital Laser Handheld Tachometer for Motor Rev Measurement: 001480-003 VirtualVillage.com

So what is it, basicaly speaking, that I need?

Hi, Kind of a basic question I realize but I'm not the swiftest when it comes to things mechanical. :confused:I'm trying to adjust my idle with a regular old dwell/tachometer. Asides from the obvious ground cable where do I hook up the positive lead? Its a '96CTD, 4X4, 140K. Thanks, Paul
