I am approaching 100k and need to get a valve adjustment. I hate the "stealers" as much as most. I would prefer an independent diesel tech but the one I usually patronize is no longer in business. Can anyone recommend a shop here in the S. D. area? I guess I could always use the local Cummins...

The infamous lift pump died on me on the interstate late Sat. night without warning. Fuel presure was 7-9 lbs. at the time and the demise was instantaneous. ( This is my 3 one in 91,000 miles. ) Thank god I had a new spare with me. Took about 30 minutes to install. The dealer warrantied my last...

I agree with all of you that my Viper is not the ultimate 1/4 mile weapon. Too hard to launch with slow 60 ft. times, but the Viper was never intended to be a dragster. Bring on those Buick turbos and 500 Hp Cummins for a 0-175-0 mph contest or meet me at Buttonwillow for a few hot laps on the...

BPine- I agree that it's fun to out power the supercars on the dyno, BUT, nothing beats going through the gears in my Viper! Horsepower or not, and besides look at the differences between H. P. / Weight ratio. Truck 7000#/500 H. P - Viper 3300#/475 H. P My Viper is the most fun you can have...

If you have the optional factory flip out towing mirrors be very careful when adjusting them. The interior ball joint that allows the mirror to change position freezes up with time and the extra pressure it takes to make adjustments torques the mirror until it cracks. Don't ask me how I know!! I...

Had the same problem with the suspected rear main seal leak. I insisted that the dealer remove the transmission to inspect the seal and determine definitively the source of the leak as my warranty was also expiring. The seal was dry and the leak was really caused by the dreaded blow by bottle. The...

I also recently replaced my lift pump with P/N 3990105. Several posts here stated that you also need to order a new wiring harness P/N 4025182 and a new gasket. On Y2K models up the stock wiring harness is the same and fits the new pump. The banjo gaskets can be re-used and only the 12 valve...

Those numbers are way better than what I am seeing! I get 10 PSI at idle and see 6-7 PSI at 70 mph. At wide open /30 lbs of boost I see 2-3 psi. I think my injectors might flow a bit more than the 275's and perhaps there is a difference in timing and fueling between the VA and EZ. Or I might...

Thanks Cryppie and others for your insight. I connected the #5 ground to one of the senders' terminals and then included another ground from that same terminal. Now it works! The instructions stated to run the second ground to anyplace on the sender and showed a picture of that ground connected...

tmacc - I wired mine exactly the same as you describe. Green wire #2 from the gauge to one terminal on the sender and #5 ground to the other terminal and then to a common ground. Which of the terminals did you use for #2 and #5? I tried both and could not get a reading. I checked all grounds and...

Perhaps Cryppie or someone else who has installed the Westach fuel pressure gague from Geno's could help me out. The part # D2C8-8 Kit I was sent included both the gauge and sender. Is that the part you got? In the instruction sheet the sender only shows a single top terminal, while mine has 2...

Richard: The flip-up style mirrors were a factory option that became available with the "late" 2000 models. I tried to order them for my "early" 2000, but to no avail, and had to install them later when they became available. ------------------ 2000 Qc LWB ETC 6Sp 3:54 LSD, + all the options...

I don't think you are going to affect either the ride height or the suppleness of the ride by removing the overload springs. On my 2500, the overloads are not involved in the suspension unless I load something very heavy in the bed. Even with my 5vr. hooked up, with 2300 lbs of pin weight I...

A few questions for those of you who have installed fuel pressure gagues. What did you use to remove the internals on the Schrader valve? Did you remove the entire test port and banjo bolt from the fuel lines? How much fuel leakage can I expect when I remove these parts, and is it under pressure...

Jerry: You need to go to a speed shop or get on the Summit (HTTP//www.Summitracing.com ) or Pegasus website (HTTP//www.pegasusautoracing ) and look under fittings. They both have 800 numbers and helpful techs. Just tell them what you are planning to do and they will source the needed parts...

Jerry: Yes, that's the proceedure. Remove the internal valve, just like on a tire Schrader. ------------------ 2000 Qc LWB ETC 6Sp 3:54 LSD, + all the options except leather, BD Stage ll Injectors,Edge EZ, Psychotty& K&N, BD E-Brake with Shifter Control, ISSPRO EGT and Boost Gauges, Transfer...

On Y2K trucks there are 2 fuel pressure test port fittings -The Inlet-protruding from the back of the fuel filter, and the Outlet- protruding from the injection pump next to the overflow valve. Which source would be the best location for the pressure gague? It seem to me that the outlet would...

Thomas is right! Depressing the clutch while having the cruise engaged will NOT release the cruise control. What it will do is instantly raise the R. P. M. until you hit the rev limiter and scare the livin begeezus out of you! Don't ask me how I know! I went to downshift and forgot I was on...

Went to the GM Truckshow today and witnessed the Duramax (Auto-3:73) being dynoed. They used a Mustang dyno and did 0-60 runs (8. 3 sec. ) as well as 1/4 mile runs (15. 8/86mph) all uncorrected. After the display I asked the dyno techs what the best rear wheel numbers they had seen in their many...

I have stage II injectors -Psychotty- Edge EZ- 6Sp. (285 HP /558Ft. Lb Trq. at the rear wheels) and tow a 13k trailer with a stock clutch. I have had NO clutch slippage or EGT problems with these mods. regardless of % grade or speed. I think that the secret is to get into the power slowly. I...
