    My Truck Is Not Capable up Pulling a Trailered Car?

    I have a car to haul to Indiana and called Uhaul to rent a trailer. the girl asked for the vehicle I was towing (a 2006 Tahoe) and the truck I was towing with (2001 Dodge Diesel) and told me she couldn't rent me a trailer because the truck was not capable of pulling the weight. I questioned her...

    VP44 Overflow Valve

    On top of my other mysteries, recently my Fass is acting up. Normally when I shut down the truck, the lift pressure gauge stays at 15 lbs even without the pump running. When the truck starts, the gauge would go to zero then immediately up to 15. The last couple of days, the pressure drops and...

    -30 below, How do I keep the fuel flowing?

    I am going to have to drive in -30 degree weather tonight and tomorrow. How can I keep the fuel from gelling? I am running Power Service to keep it flowing right now, but have no idea if that will keep it fluid at these temps. Thanks... Gary

    Hard Cold Start

    I have a very hard start even when temps are sitting at 34 degrees. My "Wait To Start" light comes on and goes off but it will still not start on the first crank unless I give it extra fuel. Even then it stumbles and barely runs for the first few seconds then blasts out a cloud of non burnt...

    While I was trying to remove my drivers side battery tray (did not get it, got the 4 bolts in tray, but it appears there are more behind splash shield in drivers wheel well and was running out of time) this thing popped out of bottom of tray. It has wires going somewhere under the battery tray...

    Lots of Smoke on Cold Engine

    The temps dropped this weekend, it is down in the thirties now in Northern Illinois. Both days on the first startup, I have huge clouds of what I am guessing is unburnt fuel (?) coming from the exhaust. It is almost as if the heater grid is not working, but if that was true, wouldn't the "wait...

    Many Codes from Bucking

    I have had a problem with the truck bucking severly when you get hard into the throttle. I had mostly blamed it on a leaky sump, but when I last looked, that problem has been solved. The problem was consistantly bad in cold weather and had all but gone away during summer. That is, until today on...

    Interior Grab Handle?

    I have a spare interior grab handle that was once on the A Pillar. I was thinking that the grab handles used to reside above the door in the older models. Is that correct? This is where I would prefer them. Any way possible that I could mount a driver side grab handle above the door? Any chance...

    VP 44 Gauge Port?

    I bought a fuel gauge and a LED low pressure indicator kit as a visual aid in case I drop below 5 psi on my lift pump pressure. The problem is finding a place to install the 5 psi fuel pressure sensor that will ground the body of the sensor. Fuel is coming from a Fass Pump which is plumbed...

    Deviant Sump Leak

    I bought this Ram with a preinstalled Deviant Sump. It was leaking at one of the two seals that holds the sump to the inside of the tank. Deviant was nice enough to supply me with a seal kit for free, I installed per instructions, but again I am leaking out of the bolt hole. Has anyone used one...

    Fass Connector at IP Blocks Power Steering Fill

    P1330011 by glmoore001 posted Jul 14, 2018 at 1:46 PM I am sure that someone has run into this problem before me. I am changing out the radiator and decided to rebuild the vacuum pump while I am in there. I was ready to remove the fluid and remembered that the fitting from the Fass lift pump...

    Zerex G05 Antifreeze for Ram Diesel?

    I was thinking that Zerex G05 was the correct antifreeze for our trucks. I am installing a new Stock OEM Radiator purchased from the Dodge Dealer. Is it ok to use Zerex G05 in this radiator? Thanks...

    Radiator started leaking out of the drivers side corner. Read some archived posts and then purchased a new radiator from Dodge and have it sitting in my computer room. I also purchased a rebuild kit for the vacuum pump and it is sitting on my computer desk. I have the standard Cummins oil mess...

    Proper way to pull a 12 volt supply?

    I do not have a lot of experience with automotive electrics. I can read a diagram, I can solder. I managed to rewire my Shovelhead without burning it down. There are many things I do not know though. I have to pull a hot wire, a ground and a dimmer wire for my ISS Pro FP Gauge install. I will...

    I have read quite a bit about the Torque Converter Lockup problems and although I do not have the problem on the latest truck, it was a real pain on my last. I have installed new Interstate Batteries, ordered new battery cables and now getting ready to replace the alternator. Is there one...

    Installing Electric Fuel Gauge

    The truck I purchased has a Fass Lift Pump, the hose at the VP44 ends with a steel swedged elbow and does not use a banjo. So, If I want to install an electric fuel pressure gauge, I cut that hose and install a 1/2" barbed adapter with the 1/8" port drilled in it to hook up a snubber and the...

    Fass Pump wiring

    Newly purchased truck. 2nd night I parked it the key came out in the accessory position and the Fass Pump (apparently hooked to the accessory circuit) ran the battery down. Shouldn't the pump relay be tied into a circuit that comes on with the ignition? Where is the proper place to wire in the...
