Yes, you are correct assuming it has standard intercooled pistons in it, but some early VE engines have odd sized piston bowls and the only way to find out what piston he has with out pulling the head is with the CPL number, it's a relatively easy thing just to double check.

Also the spray pattern is extremely important, I don't currently have Cummins Quick serve but if you take the CPL number from your idea tag to someone who has it they can tell you what injector angle you need. The issue is most companies selling 12 valve injectors just sell them for 2nd Gen...

Yeah I have a gallon of PPG epoxy primer I'm going to hit it with

I see I'm a bit late to the party on this one. The issue sounds like a burn issue, if your timing is correct it could be a injector spray pattern issue, or a injection pressure issue.I see you put a new lift pump on the engine but can you verify the injection pump inlet pressure? If your inlet...

Thank you, once the welding is done I'm going seal it and coat it inside and out.

I've finally gotten enough progress again to make another update. I was trying to get my new seats picked up how I wanted them, but the raised ridge in the floor just behind the factory seat mount holes kept causing issues. So the answer turned out to be, cut the floor out of the truck and...

I found that ORB fittings fit perfectly, I know they make adapters just for that purpose but they seem to only fit certain GM muscle cars. I forget the sizes off the top of my head but all of them are metric threads

With the new box where I wanted it and looking at the different vents available from that company. I decided that I liked the original factory defrost vents more then the after market ones. So I cut the lower part of the duct where it attached to the box up and reshaped it to fit the new box...

In the process of fixing my floor the center of my dash got destroyed and while I didn't dislike the factory dash I always thought there was room for improvement and I'm unwilling to spend solid gold levels of money for a replacement I decided that building a new custom dash was the way to go...

Thanks, yeah I've had it since 2010, unfortunately it's been in the garage for 4 years now trying to get it done

Finally more forward progress with the first test fire of the engine, it's a bit smokey cause it still needs fine tuning and it's burning the assembly oil out of the cylinders but it's another step in the right direction

These guys are on the money, fuel should be fine. I've had had no issues running a single group 31 battery at 1000 cca in PA at temps down to 20, I have had issues at sub zero temps but your not liking to see those where you are. Putting 2 batteries on the factory tray can be done but if you run...

Check your valve adjustment, and maybe consider a compression test

So I figured it out and boy is it stupid, this truck relatively new to us and the previous owner had installed a transmission temp gauge in a pile pod. But to light said gauge he taped the wires for the left front marker lights and ran it the whole way back into the cab though the fire wall. And...

Thanks, I'll check these things out and see where it gets me

I was under the impression that all the lights grounded back though the body controller, as ever light I pulled from the original bed harness all grounded through the harness, or did I miss something?

I have a 06 3500 and when you turn on the fourways, or left turn signal it causes the left marker lights to flash too, but if you turn on the marker lights the issue goes away and everything works fine until you turn the marker lights off again. This problem is only on the left side of the...

That's correct, or at least that's how the 2 I have work, I'm going to call them mid grade ones (around $100 off the tool trucks) but I've never blown a fuse with them

Well at least you have a better idea of how to chase down your issue

Ahhh that's part of the issue, on those sockets the side wall is the ground, one bump is marker, the other is turn/brake so you were shorting it out and I guess the harbor freight meter doesn't have a safety to prevent feed though
