thanks for the info... I need to find a good shop with a dyno I think

it is not like a gasser missing... it is a almost like a total loss of power, but only for a split second...

I have a 98. 5 24v, manual trans (5sp), 4x4 basic stock truck and 109,000mi. The only guage I have is a fuel pressure guage. I have had an intermittant problem the last 3 times I have towed my 5th wheel. When pulling real hard *up steep hill, passing, etc) with my 5th wheel, I have hed 5 or...

I have a 98. 5 24V. When I have the trottle mashed to the floor on hills towing heavy, I sometimes get hesitation, or what seems like a complete instantaneous cut out of power... I have not been able to get this fixed. it does not raise codes, only happens occasionally... sounds similar

oh god.....

They are crooks Well, folks, it turns out that the lift pump was shot, so I went with the in-tank retro (I know, more $$$ than I should have spent). They hooked up the lift pump, took it for a drive and called me up saying it raised codes showing the injection pump was bad and the turbo too...

I have a 98 24v 4x4 manual. Forget the fact that I have had the 5th gear nut fiasco, then later a complete transmission rebuild and the I've had 2 lift pumps and then a VP44 at 72,000... . and a blown axle seal at 85,000... those were the good old days... now I'm at 109,000 and it is in the shop...

lift pump is shot and the dealer tells me they cannot get the old-style unit that mounts up in the engine bay. They say that the only parts they can get is a retro-fit of the new in-tank pump... and that is back ordered for approx 2 weeks. Anyone else hearing this? Where can a guy get an...

did you ever get a reply on this?

thanks for the info, Nathan. For me, a smooth lauch is about the most important thing. I cannot stand all the slamming of the kingpin and heads jerking around in the cab ... sucks...

PC12Driver, Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. I have done some more testing. I went up to a pretty steep hill last night and on pavement, unloaded, in granny AND reverse, I get the jerking... slight, but you can tell it would be exaggerated by load. And I do notice the clutch...

ugh, now I feel stupid... I don't know. If it is, would that be suspect?

it was running a bit warm (close to 190), but that didn't seem outrageous to me

Folks, I can't find anything in the FAQ on this one. I have a 98. 5 24v 4x4 manual. Over the last few thousand miles if I'm towing my 5th wheel I get really jittery launches. I've been towing the same trailor for 6 years and in all those years I can usually slowly let out the clutch and get...

I have a 98. 5 24v, manual trans, 4x4 basic stock truck and 109,000mi. I was towing my 5th wheel in 80 degree weather up a very long 6% grade. Three different times under extreme stress (3rd gear, 2600rpm) and pulling hard, I felt what seemed like a "slip" on oil or something. Hard to explain...

folks, it was the thermo+fan_clutch that fixed it... 48,000 mile of rough idle ... lots of expensive shotgun attempts to fix it... the damn thing was just running hot... I'm ****** and happy at the same time... after all, 48,000 miles and I've spared no expense (e. g. , VP44) to get this...

I've had linex in the bed and over the rails for 100K miles (since mid 1998). love it oh, I live in Oregon so you can hardly get a better rust test than that

Rough idle fixed well, it only took me 48,000 miles, a VP44 (at the direction of Cummins), and tons of other failed attempts to smooth out the idle on this bad boy... Back in Sep, I overheatd. Got the thermostat and cluctch fan replaced and this thing purs like a kitten (as much as a 24v...

when I tow and put the screws to it on hill and such, the eng temp guage goes 240, check guages light comes on and I put the clutch in, coast for a few seconds... start driving again and the temp goes back down to 200 or so instantly... later , when backing my trailer in reverse all hell broke...

I need a set of fender flairs for my 98 quad cab, but all the ones I seem to find are meant to cover for wider tires. I have stock wheels. I also want black to match the door trim, morrors, etc ... all seem to be chrome ... any pointers ?
