Thought I'd let you know how it all worked out. It was the lift pump. Took a bit to bleed the system after words, but once done, it runs smooth(?) as glass. One point of interest, I also replaced the check valve upon recommendations I read in other threads, to get it out, I had to file off...

Are these the wheels that seem to crack?

Good news/bad news Well, after trying to start it... . no fuel pressure Looking like a bad lift pump :( There was a "little" fuel in the hose after the test though. OK, where is the best place to get a lift pump?

Status OK, have all the pieces and parts to check the fuel pressure, made the "T" from hydraulic fittings from the local tractor dealer. Question, based on all I've read in the manual, it is supposed to be running to check the fuel pressure (mechanical fuel pump?). um, it won't run, so the...

I'm pretty new around here, could you PM me his contact info?

Other than the boot being completely shot (can I buy just a boot??) the fuel cutoff solenoid appears to be functioning correctly. In the presart position, if I pull it up, it stays up. I had my wife watch it as I turned the key to the start position, and it pulled up fine, When I let the key...

OK, I turn on the ignition switch to the on (prestart) postion, and check the solenoid... not pulled in, the boot is completely "mush"... . I can pull the solenoid in(up) by hand, and it stays up... for experimental purposes, I wire it up with a coat hanger to see if it will start. When I...

As soon as I let off the key, it quits. I'll check the solenoid and let you know what I find.

Went to crank my truck the other day, and it won't start. It "tries" to fire, but just won't stay running. Once in a while it will sputter for about 3 or 4 seconds if I hold the throttle down half way. Any leads to the problem would be appreciated.

My Dodge service manual is on the way... . but wanted to get started removing my Auto transmission today (New G&B transmission and TC are waiting patiently in its crate). What is the trick to getting to the Torque converter bolts ('95 Ram Cummins, 47RH, 2WD)? Every transmission I've ever done had a steel...

Never mind... . I found it: 6. Connect the single wire connector from the overlay harness to the ground terminal on the headiamp switch assembly (Figure 10).

Thanks it was the ground as you suspected. I have two bright headlights now... very nice :) Another question, for good measure, as long as I wsa digging into the lighting, I decided to install the new light switch and overlay harness per this procedure...

I installed the Summit kit and have been pretty happy with it. I had put in the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs (taking note of some comments that they seem not to last long). Well, on my truck that seems to be the case, BUT... . after getting into the bulb replacement, I'm thinking it may not be the...

Had the same problem in my '95... . At first I thought it was because the coolent was not getting warm enough on the ten minute trip to work... was about to put cardboard in front of the radiator when the temp control knob fell off onto the floor. Du-oh... it had cracked and was spinning on...
