Thanks for the help. I'll pass it on.

A friend of mine just bought a '93 Cummins and because I have been ranting about the good folks up at DTT for a couple of years now, he was trying to get on the website, but it won't fire up. Anybody got the skinny on what's up with Bill and the gang? Thanks

Sheepdip, Isspro is located in Portland. I have their Pyro, transmission, and Boost guages on a pillar. Some friends of mine do also. My pyro guage needle hangs up sometimes at about 300 after shutdown. The two friends of mine have guages that have never been below 340. The other thing is, the three...

I have Isspro EGT, Trans, and Boost gauges and wish I would've spent a little more money. The EGT gauge sometimes sticks and won't go below 30 (I can send it back to them and they'll fix)when engine is shut off. The transmission gauge starts at 140. But what irritates me most is that I have the three...

Steve, I checked out my turnbuckle today and it was a little loose. I switched to a heavier S hook that seems to stay in place better. The other thing is I had to replace the jam nut as it didn't match up with the threads quite right and slipped. Bob, I thought the same thing when I saw the...

Hey zman! The pix helped alot. It really was easy. Turns out I had a few turnbuckles hanging on a hook in the garage. I didn't realize that when you turn the middle section that it tightens up the whole thing. Excellent thinking on your part! I haven't heard any negatives to using it yet. The...

Steve, that saying where "a picture (or drawing) is worth a thousand words" is uh... worth a thousand words, I guess . I understand that the EGT's will go up and it may not work for towing a 14,000lb 5th, but I still gotta play and see what all the EZ box will do. Thanks for your help. Mark...

Chris, I talked to the service rep and told him that I wanted them to look for pieces in the CAC and scope the cylinder walls for scoring. He said that the mechanic did check while changing out the old turbo for any debris, checking hoses etc but could find nothing. He said that they do not have...

zman, I'm not sure what a turnbuckle is but I'm going to go to a hardware store to see if I can find one. I have an EZ box and it sounds like this is a quick fix. Any chance that you have pictures or can get ahold of a digital camera? ------------------ 2001 2500, QC, 4X2, SLT, 24 valve, ISB...

Chris, has the dealership given you an install date yet? Are they providing you with a loaner vehicle? Once the dealership looked at my damaged turbo a few weeks ago, they said that I could not drive it any further. So they gave me a stinkin Geo to drive around. The dealership started out...

I called Cummins yesterday. The person that I talked to said that the pieces of metal probably passed right through the motor as they were very small. If there was any metal still in the motor it would be stuck in a valve, causing the engine to miss. It's possible that there may still be...

I am going to try to get info from DC tomorrow. Hopefully, I will get ahold of an e-mail address that I can forward pictures to and see what they think. I'll let you know. Thanks to everyone for all the info. Pretty eye opening stuff. Chris, John, Chad, please let us all know what else you find...

Dave D, sorry to hear that you're part of the club. I'm definately interested in what you find out. I'm going to discuss with the Dodge dealership again and take it from there. I still haven't gotten my paperwork back for the new turbo install, but I don't believe they checked anything else...

Dave, I'm not familiar with the acronym "CAC", could you please elaborate?

Chris, I sent you an e-mail. Look forward to hearing from you. Chad, thanks, that's a good idea. I have not received my paperwork from Dodge(computer was down)for whatever work they did. I'll check with them tomorrow to see if they did a compression check, if not, I'll get it done.
