Same thing here. Max speed on cruise and accelerate button is 85.

Don't really have any friends. Just joking but don't have any with a CTD. Thinking about getting a cheap oil pressure gauge and comparing. Which-ever it matches is the accurate one. My luck and it'll read something like 11-12 psi and I still wont know. I have a hunch the one thats reading low is...

Well I changed the Fuel Filter just to make sure and no change in pressure. It was a little hard to get it going again priming but I managed. Hooked the old gauge up and it read, you guessed it 14 psi idle. So one of the gauges is inaccurate, now just to figure out which one...

That makes sense. Not real sure how to determine the accuracy of the gauge so I'll assume I've already got a bad LP. I figure a brand new Dipricol FP gauge is pretty bullet proof as far as accuracy goes. Thanks for the quick response. Ron

Is it required to bleed the air from the lines on a FP install for accuracy? I know air is compressable and fluids are not so would it matter to leave air in the line? The reason I ask is this: I bought a cheap FP gauge and hooked it up about a month ago. Had 14 idle, 11-12 cruise, 7-8 wot...

2002 almond. 6000 miles on it and already have chips behind the fender wells and three on the top of the hood discovered today. Chips are very small but the ones on the hood really aggravate me. There about a third of the way up from the front in pretty visible spots. Went to the dealer today...

Is that 75k on the same set of tires. If so that seems like a good pressure to go with.

Fuel in the cab isn't a concern for me. I don't think it would ever develop to be more than a small drip for a leak inside the cab, if anything. Danger wise, I just don't see any potential. Billua, You say no for numbers 1,3 and 5. Any explainations as to why these are problems? BFC...

I'm currently considering using a boost gauge for my fuel pressure. 1. Is someone absolutely sure that this is a valid option? I've had some say these gauges aren't rated for liquid (especially diesel) and could cause problems and others say thats totally inaccurate and wont cause any...

Mine squeaks only about 50% of the time. Its an auto and I haven't moved the breather bottle. There goes the auto squeaking every time theory... ...

Great to see other members in Pensacola. I kinda knew that statement was inaccurate but it did expose some other Pensacola members. Well maybe I can shoot for the top three. Probably not though... ...

I see way more 1500's. Very few 2500 - 3500 in Pensacola. BTW haven't seen any TDR stickers here either. Is there a known place to display one as I can be the first here in Pensacola to put one on my truck... . :)

Well I have to take back what I said earlier about the symptoms. I can hear the ticking/rattle/clatter even at initial startup in the morning. Walked around the truck briefly and it sounds louder on the passenger side. I'm not sure if this is normal or not as I've never owned another diesel so...

I have the same thing on mine. It has only 2500 miles on it. Hopefully it's normal, after a search on this site I haven't found one answer to this question. It sounds like a gasser valve tick and I only hear it at idle. It's not very loud but is in addition to the diesel knock. It gets this...

Is it possible to overspeed the CTD with just throttle alone on flat ground or does the govenor prevent this? I had OD off and forgot and did WOT. Engine ended up at 3200 or so, not in the redline about one notch below, but still concerns me. Should I be worried about this or am I being overly...
