Mr. Ames I too was hooked into the 1/8 NPT port on top of the oil filter for the mechanical guage. When it started the dash gage held at 40 and the mechanical when to 75 at idle! I was afraid to state this orgionally cause I thought the old gage I was using may have been off. I have not had...

Thanks to everyone for their reply to my delima of no oil press during cranking. After talking to a former Dodge diesel mechanic, I am back in the land of diesel fumes again. He suggested to keep cranking for at least 1min or until it cranked - which ever comes first. I primed the injectors...

I have just completed overhauling my 96 12v at 389K. New brgs, rings, gaskets, seals, head worked, new valve springs, new HD clutch, DDP stage 1 injectors, etc..... At start up I was waiting on oil pressure to come up before I allowed fuel to the injectors. Allowing the starter only 15 sec...

96 12v rod and main bolts Thanks for the replys. I have found the bolts. I can get them only from Cummins. If the egale flies on time I should get them tomorrow. Thanks again for your help. Jerry Jones Graham, Texas 96 extened cab, 4X2, 5spd, 3. 54, boost and temp guages Stage 1 DDP...

I am in desperate need of one rod and one main bolt for a 96 12v. I tore it down and bought new head bolts, but had no idea the rod or main bolts would stretch when retorquing to spsc. That is all I lack before I can button up the engine and reinstall it. 96 2500 4X2 5sp stock 389K mi...

I am planning on replacing my head gasket on my 96 12v. (Due to excess crankcase pressure blowing oil out the vent above 8psi boost. It uses no oil as long as I stay below that boost pressure. I can't gripe at 400K. ) Replacing injectors and doing a valve job while I've got the head off. I...

Roadking, What does the Banks power pac consist of and what brand 4" exhaust system? What are you asking for these parts? J Jones, North Central Texas 96 Quad cab, 2500, 4x2, Std, 3. 54, Mostly stock @ 400K, Boost and Pyro,

Will be interested in complete engine. Was the engine running when it locked up? You said midsouth as location, How far from Dallas, Tx?

My 96 12v stock engine, 4sp, with 215,000 on a new short block ( all other engine compoents have 385,000 on them. Block replaced after a quick lube station left the oil plug loose. ) has taken to blowing oil out the breather tube when the boost exceeds 10psi. This is to the tune of 2 gallons in...

Thank you for your comments on my leaking lifter cover. In thinking back this leak seems to happen right after an oil change. After about 200 miles it seems to seal off and seep until the next oil change. Not he best time of year for it to go down, but is there ever a good time? I'll get my...

My 96 2500 4x2 std has developed a major leak at the lower front of the lifter cover, right behind the injector pump. I consider it major to the tune of 2 gallons in 60 miles. It took a major washing of the engine compartment to locate it. Has anyone experienced this and know of a easy cure...

GAmes, Thanks for the info. Will try to make it to this weekend to tear into it. Is the needle bearing prone to come apart? And do they make a regular brass pilot brg for that application? Now that you mention the pilot brg, that may be the culprit. I'm use to dealing with Roadranger 9 -10...

Has anyone ever drilled an 1 1/2" inspection hole in the bell housing to inspect the throwout bearing / clutch? If so, what is the best location to locate the hole? I am contemplating doing this with a hole saw and then plating it a 1/4" plate larger than the hole. Drill and tap the plate in...

Thanks for the info. I was thinking the same thing that a dealer should be able to print the linesheet. I haven't had much luck with the local dealer on other thing anyway. Thanks again for the reply. JJones
