Does anyone know if the fuel gauge sender is like the Cummins version? May even a lead on where to get one for a good price? I've got a bad spot in the sender up near the 7/8 of a tank where the gauge drops to empty and then at about 3/4 of tank it pops back up and works again...
I know you all know I've got four 100w bulbs on the bottom of both Dodge Ram trucks I have. Well here at RamForum I've seen a few Trucks with hidden fog/driving lights behind the grill. So I went to building the poor mans version from a piece of re-bar and flat stock.
So now here is the...
I know one of your stereo hounds out there will be able to spit the answer out quick. But I need to know the rear speaker size in the 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 (Extended Cab) not the quad cab. The rear speakers are rather wore out and I would like to replace them.
Fuel pressure
Keep it in the GREEN!
Normal fuel pressure should float about 14-15 PSI running down the pavement. Should never fail below 10 PSI at all. Here is a colorize fuel pressure gauge to give you a clue of the fuel pressure span you want. You want the needle to stay in the green at...
Because the price of diesel has gone skyward on me...
So now I'm banished to driving the 96 Dodge Ram 1500 as a daily driver because fuel prices are cheaper for it. :naughty:
Here you go gang... I produced a in depth error code list for the 1998.5 to 2002 Dodge Cummins trucks this should help you troubleshoot most all problem that toss a error code or a check engine light.

I'm now trading hats and becoming a 5.9L V8 owner. So I figured it time to get get the other truck running just as good as the 02 Cummins.
Ok history I've got 144K on the clock.
As for wondering about the mainfold... I know I got to fix it...
Another thing I found was...
I was on the phone talking to Dave about other issues and ask him straight out... "How old is your coolant?" he replied "It's still green!". Well this is not good and just judging coolant on color is a poor practise and will cost you dearly. As coolant ages it will drift away from neutral pH...
Ok first of let me vent here a second... (You've been warned!)
I got a phone call from a gent this evening upset at his truck because of hard starting and P1689 error code randomily coming. He admits he's got a Raptor fuel pump, Edge Juice and 100 HP injectors. That fine... But the admits he's...
Ok Gang.
I got another one to share with you. How about figuring out how much air to put in your tires. There is a really easy math formula for this...
(Axle Weight / 2) / Tire Capacity) x Tire Max PSI = Inflate Pressure
So to give you an example... Here will be my scale weights for my...
I keep getting asked how can I drive around with my Edge Comp on MAX setting and not smoke really bad. Well I do I've got RV275 injectors (+40) and Edge Comp (set to 5x5 MAX) and have absolutely no problem controlling smoke either towing or empty. I will admit towing takes a bit more effort but...
Ok Gang...
I figure I would do a bit of show and tell of the Cummins injectors...
Here is a stock 235 HP injector.
Now take notice to how tiny the fuel spray holes are. (x10 mag)
Now once you disassemble the injector by loosen the collar nut this is what is inside. (Body, adjustment...
WARNING! Only disassemble and clean only 1 injector at a time. All the parts are tune particularly to that particular body. Don't mix and match parts!

Well I finally got around to cleaning up my RV275 injectors again...
I've always had a random misfire problem with them at a idle only hot. Finally got bad enough I could deal with it any more and yank them out and stuck in my stock injectors. In the mean time I went out and bought me a...

While I was out on my camping trip and hauling around my 31' Jayco Eagle Travel Trailer I had some weird fuel pressure problems occuring. Start up cold and get 17.5 just about 18 PSI at a idle and then pull the grade up to New Meadows, ID still holding 16 PSI which is normal and...
I'm back at it again hauling large loads of firewood again...
One of those last minute runs to the woods to pick up a load. We had rode the ATV up the day before and looked around and found several places for firewood. But I was wanting to get some red fir for the pile so out came the...
Ok Gang...
I'm sure a lot of your have heard about this concept and would like to get more information about it. I'm not the one that started it but a guy that's nickname is Dorkweed over on my forum started it back in 06. I'm the one that picked up the torch and continued on.
Why do we need...
After running around the internet and seeing all the weird tales of fuel pressure... I desided to make a quick video of what my truck does with...

I had a little birdie inform me that ECM of the 98.5 to 2002 are getting hard to get ahold of and I guess one of the logic chips inside is no longer manufactured.
This is not to produce panic... I'm not 100% sure of the information but I'll get more soon...
