My wastegate is block via the necked down elbow that came with my Edge Box. It has no adjustment screw it just has a smaller hole.

Just in the last week I've been only able to hit 26-27 lbs of boost on 5x5, When I could hit 34lbs before. I've change filters, check fuel psi and all are ok. The funny thing is when I hit WOT in 4th or 5th it hits 26lbs and drops off to about 22 then back up to 26. The fade off hits at about...

I heard from a college teacher of mine that most of the VP44 problems are from heat. He heard from a Cummins rep that when you pull or do any kind of hard work with your truck (heat,heavy loads,etc. . ) a guy should have at least 1/2 tank of fuel. The reason for this is so that fuel can cool...

Last night I was driving around town doing 25 and I had just changed from stage 3 to 5 and all of a sudden I had no throttle response. I could mash it to the floor and nothing happened for about 3 secs. then it came back to normal. Check engine light came on right when it happened. Then an hour...

You know how when you shut down a motor and its cooling, the metal makes that cracking, popping noise? Well its never very loud or I've never heard it very loud on any Cummins. Since I got my 99 24v when I shut it down that cracking, popping sound is very loud. I mean to the point where it...

When I last rotated my tires they told me I ran to much pressure. I was up around 65-70lbs. If I dont run that much in the rear when I pull a trailor (gooseneck) they squat bad and I hate that plus its not safe. They told me to run 35-40 empty and 65 when towning. I would do that but I'm not...

Well I did some grinding but they still rub. I am gonna say #$#@$ on my cool idea and put my old wheels on. I'm not gonna grid on my steering arm anymore and weaken it.

This is crazy... I had the rear drums turned, but now the front steering arm hits the wheels from the 00'. Makes no sense and I was wondering if anyone ground down there steering arm to make the wheels fit?

Sounds like a dry U-joint to me.

Friend of mine just bought a 03 6. 0 4 door 6 spd. He raced my other friends 94 CTD 5 spd with a #5 Tst. They ran the 1/4 3 times and all three times the 6. 0 beat the CTD by 2 1/2 truck lengths. The first 1/8th mile the CTD had him by about 3 lengths, then that 6. 0 hits some rps and flys...

I am new to the 24v upgrades, and I was wondering what fuel box (tst,EZ,Blue Chip) has the best low end? I have drivin a 01 with a Edge Comp but it felt like it had no low end torqe. Does the Blue Chip adjust the timing as well? I love my 12v low end whaaaaaap when the boost hits, but...

I now have a 94 12v and I might buy my Mom's truck 01 24v 5 spd. What are the highs and lows of this motor? I never get to drive it so I dont know how it runs or much about the truck in general. Is there anything I should look at before I buy it? I have heard of the Edge kits and they...

What else could I do to my rig? I was thinking of a turbo but naw I'll just wait for it to grenade. Injectors... ... will they cause more heat?

I cant see how a good running Cummins cant out run a Durachoke. I drove a Duramax haha LOLOL 300 hp my a$$

Common I think Every CTD I know but 1 has had an axle seal go bad.
