    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Heater core replacement question

    Has anyone here replaced their heater core in their 01? If so, what was entailed in doing so? Believe it or not, the dealer is the only supplier now. After market heater core suppliers are now obsolete.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) When to adjust valves on 2001 24 valve

    I know Cummins calls for a valve adjustment at 150,000 miles. But, has anyone adjusted their valves sooner and if so, were they out of spec or could they have gone to 150,000 miles? I have 102,000 miles on mine and being old school, I feel compelled to check them and adjust if needed.
