    Archived 12-valve: no cranking = no driving

    Hi all, My '98 12-valve has acted a bit funny lately and today completely died: I don't drive it that often as I walk to work. I drive it at least 1x per week. For the last 5+ weeks when I try to start her up, the cranking has been getting weaker and weaker. I've even had the engine block...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) dying turbocharger?

    Greetings all, Before I go to the repair shop, I'm wondering about your thoughts on this problem: I mash the throttle and it seems as if the turbo is spinning up, but the gauge is only showing about 10psi boost. The EGT gauge climbs quickly up to 10,000 degrees. The sound coming from under the...

    Archived spraying fuel at the filter assembly!

    Hi all, I suppose I'm another victim needing help with the "911" threads relating to fuel delivery... I've got a 1998 2500 with the 12-valve engine. I changed the fuel filter on it with a filter from Cummins Northwest in western Washington. When I did that I learned (by error) that I needed...
