my symptoms don't seem to be temperature dependent. they happened throughout the winter, too.

I'm watching this one, it sounds eerily similar to the problems that my identical gauge has been having for the last year and a half. Once mine began acting up it wouldn't stop until I shut the truck down and restarted it. It would do all sorts of things. It will stick at a low number like 200...

Just to add in my $. 02, here is a picture of the brake in question explaining why the JCarlisle experienced better braking power with the pacbrake. It is supposed to maintain backpressure even at lower rpm. This could also relate to the difference between manual and automatic trucks, if...

I confused everyone by dragging up an ancient thread. This problem apparently got fixed a long time ago, but I'm just encountering it for the first time. I just need to know whether the wiring already exists and I just needed to plug in the relay, or do I need the overlay wiring to go with the...

Maybe the thread is displaying weird, the post above mine says `03, I'm pretty sure I still have a `94 :-laf Thanks for responding though, I'll check out the link, but would still appreciate any responses.

OK, this one is a throwback. I've been trying to track down some information on TSB 08-33-96. My truck came with the factory tow package and has a working brake controller (Tekonsha) hooked up from the previous owner. However, it did not have the Trailer Tow Relay in the PDC under the hood. Can...

IIRC, the US Government (EPA, maybe) payed Cummins to develop that light duty diesel . . .

I'd go with Hawaii, in Montana those are fighting words. I don't know if there are still more Montanans than Californians in Montana, but I'm not sure the good people of Montana are too concerned with the odds, either. :-laf

The logic continues to astound me. They've had unprecedented trouble with an engine made by an otherwise reliable engine manufacturer, and so they think going in-house will make things better. It always make me think of that saying "you're the only common link in all of your failed...

Those are standard mental health screening questions (in this case likely aimed at possible cases of PTSD, though variations are asked in lots of other circumstances). I was an RA in a dormitory, and we were trained to ask similar questions at various times. The only possible situation in...

I appreciate what m1a shooter is trying to say, and it is one of the reasons that I appreciate talking to cummins owners far more than others. I generally feel like our group is the least "brand loyal" (maybe because I'm inside of it, I don't see it). But generally I think there are a lot of...

First of all, it isn't an early `94. Mine is an early `94, build date in October of 1993. That means, for instance, that it doesn't have a catalytic converter, because they didn't put those on until January of `94. His does not qualify as an early `94. I can't speak to what transmission is in...

Thanks again for everyone's comments. Today I went out and looked at some trailers. I stopped into a Trailers Plus location here in Middle Tennessee, they are the outlet branch of Interstate Cargo. My wife and I looked at all of their trailers, and picked out a 2008 (new) 7'x16' enclosed...

Thanks for all of the thoughts. I really appreciate your candor. I really appreciated the creativity of this one 22 foot enclosed trailer. I'll keep looking around. Any thoughts on whether it is better to buy new or used? Originally the idea was to buy an inexpensive trailer and eat the cost...
