I took advantage of the buy 4 get 1 free deal on Bilsteins. These are the yellow/blue and are supposed to be heavy duty. I only put the fronts on this afternoon - rears are for tomorrow, if no rain. I had Rancho RX9000 on my truck and the fronts were fading. First of all, I was suprised at...

After I had pulled the fan assembly from my truck yesterday I noticed that the fan pulley had worn a partial half moon shaped groove into the timing cover. One end of the groove was deeper than the other - I would estimate that the deepest part was at least 1/24 to 1/16 of an inch. Does any one...

I'm going to replace the timing gear cover on my truck Saturday. The Cummins spec calls for a silicone sealant type gasket, however; a regular gasket is available (p/n 3918673). I've never been too good at applying silicone as a gasket maker especially on something as large as the timing cover...

I'm trying to separate the vp44 shaft from the gear housing. My question is how do you know when it's done? I cranked on it awhile using a Blue Chip gear puller and decided to stop because I haven't heard a pop or anything to indicate that it's free. Someone I know at a diesel shop that works on...

Shoot! I had to quit for the day. I'm trying to remove my old VP44 and I got stuck on moving some of the injectors. I have viewed Diesel-Dan's videos but they don't help with this problem because he removed all of the injector lines from the head. I just want to remove 1,2, &4 and leave the...

I am contemplating doing my own VP44 replacement. I’ve read many threads on the subject and reviewed the Chrysler Service manual for my truck. There are a few things that still trouble me; so I’ve decided to ask for some answers from you guys. I know that the engine should be rotated until...

I'm going to install a transmission temp gage in the hot line from the torque converter before it goes into the heat exchanger. I was wondering if anyone has experience with the replacement line from Diesel Manor? Their line has a built in temp port for the gage sending unit. I can get the replacement...

Greetings! I thought that I would share a discovery that I made when I installed a Vulcan Draw Straw in my truck’s fuel tank last weekend. It was quite a surprise to me. I realize now why my truck is on its’ 5th LP. When I pulled the fuel tank module, the bottom screen was 75% covered with...

Greetings! My truck has a OEM LP mounted on the frame rail using a Vulcan relocation kit. I have 3/8ths ID fuel hose (with hose clamps) from the tank to the VP44. I am installing a Vulcan 3/8ths Draw Straw in the fuel tank this weekend. I would like to replace my Carter LP with a Fass 95 unit...

I'm looking for some software that I can use to clean up my pc hard disk. I have Windows XP Professional SP2 installed. I also have Norton SystemWorks and Norton Internet Security among other software. I just installed a new video card but was unable to get rid all of the previous drivers though...

I'm getting ready to change out the 3-4 inch long piece of hose that connects the turbo oil drain pipe to the engine block. Obviously you have to remove the oil filter to gain access. It appears to me that a person would have to pull out the piece of pipe that is pushed into the block or remove...

Greetings! I did a search and couldn't find anything definitive on the subject. The hoses on my truck will be 7 years and 63k miles old in September. I 've been replacing the coolant every 2 years with Fleetguard ES Complete EG 50-50 premix. It's time to replace the coolant again so I'm...
