Iv read I need either a Mopar 0488396 which translates to Donaldson P551310 or FLEETGUARD FS19598 But I cant find any of them locally.. I'm surprised none of my local car parts outfits carry fleetguard.. Where are you folks buying them? Thanks

Hello folks.. I own a clean 97 12 valve garage queen that I fill up once a year. So I feel its important to use #1 diesel because I drive it once a month all year long after the roads are dry or have been cleared. But I seem to remember when the fuel pumps used to be labeled "#1 diesel"...

I'm sold on LT tires for trailers after learning new airsteams were being delivered with michelin tires.. I've already run some R250's on my first TH with good results. But reading that airstream is selling their trailers with LT tires on some has turned me into a believer.. But what I would...

Hey everyone. I want to use the same 17" stock steel rims and Michelin tires I'm running now, on both the truck and 7x16 trailer I'm having custom built. Space will be scarce on this mini toyhauler being built by Jensen Trailers, so I don't want more than one spare. I would consider 17"...

Hi everyone. I bought the grease needle but I'm not sure exactly where to insert it. I found a few video's and hits, but there for newer trucks, but maybe the shaft on this video looks similar to a 97? Skip to 5:00 Or maybe someone could post a link to a 2nd gen drive shaft lube link? Iv...

After changing my fuel filter, strainer, deleting heater and changing out my overflow valve a few times I still have what in my opinion is sort of low fuel pressure.. Sort of means what Iv read is all over the map.. Some say 30 psi and no higher than 45. Others are running 50 and so on. But you...

What I'm gathering, is that mpg will improve running a 12 valve hotter than the one and only 180 degree cummins Tstat allows it to. Running hotter will also keep the engine at a more consistent temperature reducing heat cycles. MPG is very important to me because I plan to "full time" RV with...

Looking around at whats working for people working alone, I see pressure bleeding being the favorite. If mityvac sells a pro pressure bleeder, its got to work better than vacuum. I built my own years ago using a hvac vacuum pump and saw the air leaking past the screw. Doubt much or any air got...

After I tabbed my kdp, I started collecting parts for my mechanical low pressure fuel gauge. Maybe I should have made the low pressure fuel gauge a priority, because I only have 13 psi at idle and 20psi at 2000 rpm. The gauge hasn't been installed in the cab yet so I'm not sure how low the...

Can anyone explain why I have so much tailgate movement/rattle? The tail gate moves left and right also, and I'm worried the paint will get damaged if it makes contact to the bed. Thanks!

I'm changing the oil on my NV4500 with Amsoil and have a question about the available oil coolers for it. Geno's has the TRANS-COOL and also the FAST COOLER.. Not allot of talk about the TRANS-COOL, but imo it looks like a better design with big fins inside and out, but less oil volume. Has...

I found a nice liquid filled 0-60 psi gauge laying around I want to use for my low pressure fuel gauge. It has a 1/4 male npt on it and I think I found the ADJ. FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE NEEDLE VALVE/SNUBBER KIT ('89-'07, 5.9L) at geno's that I need. I also see a FUEL PRESSURE LINE - VULCAN -...

Hey everyone.. Ive been a happy camper since buying my 12 valve a few months ago. It spends most of its time in the garage and I fixed the kdp with no issues. Now fluids and planned on a fuel pressure gauge next.. This morning I tried to start it and it just cranked over. Nothing.. I tried...

What's a good permanent gasket sealer I can use on one side, and then use permatex 2 non drying on the other for easy removal? I'm not a fan of silicone, mainly because Ive learned it is the cheapest crap you can use on a RV. Maybe its ok for engines, but the gasket sealed to my cover peeled...

I cleaned and blew out everything, and waited 5 minutes to insure it was dry. But when I removed a oil pump bolt I had used permatex high strength threadlocker on three days earlier, It came out easy, and the threadlocker was wet.. Has anyone had this happen with permatex high strength...

Can anyone confirm how many bolts I need to blue loctite before the cover gets reinstalled? Ive read there are three under the cam gear, but I see four.. Four for the oil pump, and then two more in plain view including the "kdp" bolt which would be ten total?? And remove one at a time, clean...

I'm fixing the kdp, but instead of ordering a $65 kdp kit, Id rather make my own washer and only buy a front crank seal.. Is there a preferred brand I should look for? Rockauto stocks Mopar OE Part, SKF, ENGINETECH and MAHLE.. But I do not see Fel-Pro. Thanks!

Hello. I purchased a one year subscription to the Turbo Diesel Register a few days ago, but I honestly don't know what extra's I'll get or how I can use them.. I had a few that night lol But it does look like my membership did at least start since the forum says I'm a supporter.. Thanks!

Hey people, hows it goin? I'm doin just fine after finding and buying a clean 97 4x4 5 speed club cab long box with 3.54 gears with 109k on it. Why a 12 valve? I cursed my first 12v when it blew the head gasket 2200 miles from home towing my toyhauler.. But it made it all the way back home, and...

I just picked up a 1997 12v 4x4 nv4500 with D70 front and D80 rear parts truck. Being a owner of a intercooled 1st gen in a E350 van, I know very little about the 97 and I apologize before hand if this is the wrong place to ask questions about it. But the 97's stuck 20 miles away in a snow...
