    12v Outlet Failure Rear Back of Center Console

    What the title says. Fuse 91ish is fine, fuse 104 is fine. Is there another fuse somewhere that controls that power outlet? The center console (top) 12v is working fine -- technically I think the top center console 12v is 104 and fuse 91-ish (jumpers differently if permanent on or ignition...

    Bypass Oil Filtration

    I searched and didn’t find new info on this. With the EGR dumping so much sooty air back in the engine I have the opinion that bypass filtration may be way more important than it used to be. Trying to decide if I should do it.

    Gear Whine AAM 11.5

    First of all -- this is the THIRD Ram 3500 I've owned with an AAM 11.5. (tenth Cummins Ram overall) This particular vehicle has a very annoying differential gear whine. When we first asked for it to be looked at they replaced the ring and pinion, then the seals, then reset the preloads. Now...

    Fuel Leak (Breather?)

    What is this... and why is it leaking? Started as a very minor drip several weeks ago but now quite a bit of fuel runs out.

    Scangauge II Reader

    I have a scangauge II hoked up primarily to monitor DPF and regenerate status. Version 4.22 and all my xgauge codes input, works great. Question: what is DPS status 9, “SCR TM”? It reads 1 (normal) after running 15 mins or so. DPS is “after treatment DPF state” I.e. the current status of the...

    Great Weekend Kearney NE

    Took a few days off to watch the sandhill crane migration. Pretty cold (below freezing last couple nights). Beautiful day today though - picture sitting by campfire watching the birds fly in to the Platte River where they roost overnight.

    Exhaust Braking while have Boost

    Last year when I'd hook up my 5th wheel and travel I would never get exhaust braking at the same time as boost - this year I've seen as much as 12 lbs of boost while simultaneously having 150 bhp. And yes.. you can hear the engine working against the exhaust brake (zero throttle being applied of...

    Black Edition HID LED Headlights, Anyone Install?

    I'd like to put these in my truck (see this quarters cover photo!). I'm looking for part numbers and what's needed .. ballast? etc. Ran a couple searches and didn't see anything so I apologize if it's been asked and answered and my search skills are lacking. Thanks!

    CB Interference from Optix Pyrometer

    When I key my CB the Pyrometer reads zero and I get lot's of interference. It isn' how it's wired; the CB has an independent ground and is wired thru a painless wiring fuse panel. I've also plugged it into the cig lighter for a completely different wiring scheme and it does the exact same...

    Competition NV5600 Flywheel and Input Shaft Replacements

    Anyone know of any? I think I broke one or both launching too hard on clay this weekend. :rolleyes: Everything drivetrain and engine wise is a-ok except no go at all. A lot like zero clutch except I still have pedal pressure and can row the gears fine (clutch and transmission seem intact) so I...

    Competition Hello Again (Big MAK)

    I stepped out a while after realizing we were at a dead end with the truck. It's now late in the year and we're making plans for next so here I am again. Totally bummed it won't run right with the amount of money I put into it. We "pulled the plug" until we know what direction to go. new...

    NPPA (Nebraksa Power Pullers Assoc)

    At the Sarpy Cty fair I spoke with NPPA quite a while. It sounds like they are willing to work with us heavy diesel trucks and get some more rigs into local pulling around Nebraska. There are several safety regs (a good thing in my book) to conform to -- in my case I need to add a kill switch...

    3rd Gen Win; Video. Big MAK has left the building.

    Serious pressure at local pull. A LOT of people came up to me asking me to win this one. One guy told me atleast three times if I broke the truck he'd loan me his. He was serious. http://video.thedieselgarage.com/video/2fd46cfa-264a-47ac-b93d-9816014109ea.htm Apparently a Chevy guy had...

    Dual Tires Safety Alert 06+

    IMO I have 2 flats on the SAME DAY -- inside dual tires. At first I thought vandalism. I go to fill them -- realize there's a LONG cap (over an inch long) attached to a RUBBER stem. Both outside dual tires are also loosing pressure. The outside duals also have long caps but not as long...

    Barometric (Altitude) Sensor Location?

    Anyone know which sensor is specific to barometric 'altitude' readings? I see that it's a parameter the ECM tracks specifically (a seperate reading from the MAPS). Anyone know which one it is and where it's at? I suspect my '03 sensor is bad.

    Competition 3rd Gen Win and Sixth

    3rd Gen Win and Sixth (now with Video!) Win Friday night (kept RPMs up); and 6th Saturday night (dropped RPMs off the line didn't get them back). Stong pulls though. One HUGE problem. It appears mine (and many other) early '03 third gens are flat-lining power at 2300/2400 RPM. I build...
