the other suggestions are good, but with that amount of miles the start and die could very well be the bellcrank mechanism on the throttle/fuel plate, simpler terms would be throttle linkage components. my 97 12 valve had a recall on those parts, so may your 98. I have seen this problem numerous...

I was considering a smarty jr; I was wondering what type of displays and vitals you can monitor with it.

I am looking for the most logical key on power source for an 06' I know I can piggyback in the fuse panel but i am not interested in that. this is one thing ferd does well.

could anyone tell me what my speedometer difference is from 265 tires to 285's, I was supposed to have it calibrated but it isn't happening. I calculated percantage wise myself but I am not sure if I have it right. I went from stock michelins to 285 wrangler silent armors with 617 revs per mile.

A general question, although not 100% diesel related. I ws wandering if anyone from upstate new york, vermont, new hampshire, or maine could fill me in what it's like to live there( mostly the cost of living) It appears I am goint to be corporate downsized so I was looking for a new adventure...

I was wondering if it is possible to make these things last or is the bad rap legitimate. If you can make them last is it as simple as knowing how to use overdrive, maintaining the fluid, keeping shift points adjusted, cooling down in nuetral and just general paying attention.

Looking for the part number for the oring on secondary fuel filter,(the one lower on the block with the screen it). It appears to be a standard flat cut oring, but cummins,dodge and multiple other places can't seem to help so I figured this would be the place?

good discussions Thanks everyone for the varying and well thought out advice. There are a number of reasons I am thinking about doing this. To answer some question my 97 was a 4x4. Despite my constant wrenching in it I absolutely loved the truck. Just one of those things sometimes you bond with...

I was considering selling my 06, 6 speed and buying a 96-98 12 valve quad cab long box. Sounds crazy but I have this urge to live life a lot simpler. I had a 97 at one time and absolutley loved it. I was working on it just about every other day and rusted away after 6 years, but I liked it. My...

low power As a fleet mechanic I will say absolutely positively without a doubt you could have fuel filter issues. The bigger tires are not the problem. A fuel filter is an easy test to perform. also knowing your boost and if your holding boost in a low power situation is a must.

28,000 / 3 clutches; the problem seems to originate from the hydraulics. They don't adjust properly therefore frying the flywheel and clutch. The DMF setup is obviously least desirable, but it is smooth. Smoothest shifting gearbox I have ever driven. For those concerned with the aluminum case...

where do i start with my 06' problems. AC compressor, air blows out the wrong vents, warped heater box/ broken door 3 times, all applicable tsb's, sliding rear window latch twice, vibration that only i can feel, the headlight issue is especially annoying if you have a snowplow, which I do. never...

why does it appear that there is so many issues downloading and / or installing programs

I'm on the fence with the smarty jr. also. I don't want to add rail pressure due to obvious hpcr injector issues. My main question I never seen an answer to is how does the tire size / speedometer function work and just what type of a scan tool is it. How much can you do with the scan portion?

cummins power 98. this box you've got for tire calibration, will it work for a 3rd gen and what is the cost. Also where am I able to get this. Finally are you confident with it's accuracy.

06 problems If you look up service bulletins for the 06, mine has had every problem except reverse popping out of gear( knock on wood). They aren't major problems just annoying. however my dealer is very good about taking care of the problems. This kind of stuff is normal for new/updated...

my 97 I no longer have was started unplugged down to about 25F below more than once, fired fine, chugged a little, rattled a little away we go. My 91 sat for 10 days unplugged from a low of about 30 below at night to a daytime high of 5 below, fired no problem. My 04. 5 and 06 both have...

cerberuisiam, Do you think the fooler is worth the money, my truck is stock and for the most part plan on leaving it that way except for maybe a high ram intake elbow. anyway truck pulls good, but pulled a load this weekend and lost some speed on a couple of hills, not good. However I'm pretty...

there has been a lot of discussion by various people about 3. 42's. They are available and it sounds like a few are ready to try it. Sounds like it will cost about 600 bucks. I will probably change mine in the future if this seems to be working. However if the 3. 42's cause a lack of power, in...
