Hi JRS, I've just encountered a similar problem. Unfortunately, I have determined that my head gasket is the problem. I removed my thermostat housing to replace the seals and thermostat. All were in good condition. Upon closer inspection, now that the housing was off, the leaking gasket was...

Chillydog, you don't need to buy a new exhaust manifold but you definitely will want a new intake manifold. The cheesy EGR intake manifold, if you look inside it, is about the size of a quarter, unbelievable. There are some wiring/sensor issues but they aren't a big deal, do a search on this...

A thousand pardons oh great one. You're right, the systems are indeed separate. For some reason, however, probably my remedy for the control line (see other post), my idle is higher. I'm probably getting more fuel off idle. That doesn't make sense either but hey, I won't argue with a 9000lb...

Thanks to a post or two from the past I just killed two birds with one stone. For the past few weeks my idle has dropped to the point where if the A/C is on it stalls. I also noticed that my cruise control was not working, the l. e. d. would go on but nothing else would happen. I did a quick...

Sorry 'bout the late reply Pete, left for the weekend. My torque plate is a BD 280hp but it's been pushed back quite a bit. My cummins is actually a California model which started out as a choked up 180hp. When I moved to Oregon a ripped out all of the EGR krap, put in a K&N, eliminated the...

All of this happened at 103k but I wouldn't have been able to do the warranty anyway, I lost that after changing the torque plate. Also, the dealer in my area is the worst I've ever dealt with, my blood pressure goes up every time I drive by there. I replaced the valve immediately and now have...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the website but have every issue of the mag. I've got a 300hp 97 4x4 dually flatbed,5spd(original 5th gear nut!),354,straight exhaust,blah,blah,blah. I just went through an ordeal with low power, something I'm not used to with my setup. After trouble shooting for three...
