Can'tsay Cummins? Balogna!

Dodge execs had the brains to buy the Cummins! It is a factor! My 250K '98 5 -speed has had a VP44. Not a cheap item, but i'm still pretty happy since I spent about $1000 past oil changes for 250,000...

15-40 delo low emissions?

I thought the newer 15-40 Delo "low emissions" oil was spec'ed for the 6.7. That is what I used for our first change at 3600 miles. Truck has been running great with it in there. No regen issues. I...

Rowdy,
You may want to check on flash/upgrades. My 2007.5 is doing exactly what the first post showed, but I have never seen the 1mpg to start with. Mine is consistant at better than 18 unloaded...

Sounds about Right

Saber six,
That is about what we are getting with our 2007.5 6.7L. Perhaps a bit better but with more miles. Were talking .1 or .2 anyway. I have a 98 5.9 5 speed that is getting a bit better almost...

There is Arbitration

Dave,
I understand your problem! The thing people should know is that dealers get PAID by the manufacturer to do warranty work. Often some of the most profitable work the service department does is...

Not a good resolution!

Metal Ram,
You are very justified in your (non) rant. There seems to be a certain number of trucks that are troublemakers from the Get-GO. Our truck is one of the ones that has been good from the...

I do think a lot of the regen problems are caused by LSD instead of ULSD. In California it hasn't been available for some time. Our truck is a 2007.5 second wave of 6.7's. All updates done and NO...

factory 98.5 book says

Hi guys,
My factory manual suggests a 60k mile valve adjustment interval. They may have changed that later but that is what mine says. I've done them 3 times now and they aren't that hard to do but...

BB2stroke,
Even if there is throttle plate it wouldn't cause the truck to run away if stuck wide open. The control is still the pump. Please correct me if I'm wrong. A control plate like that would...

nothing to stick open

Something the factory guys on here might mention is there is no "throttle" to stick on these engines. Like most diesels these engines don't have a throttle plate to stick. The fly-by-wire controls...

Red Stuff

Several of the synthetic 2 cycles are tinted red. As to performance guys the 2 cycle is helping because it is a FUEL and a lubricant. Generally oil contains more BTU's than gas. That is why diesel,...

VP44 question for factor service tech or ?

I'm looking to hear from someone who works on a lot of 2nd gen engines with this question. How important is the support bracket on the rear of the VP44? I'm talking about the support...

For evey person on these forums there are probably 1000s of happy campers out there running along with very few problems. Do lift pumps fail? Yes sometimes they do. So do automotive fuel...

Exclamation Factory Manual

The factory manual, Cummins suppliment, suggests to warm the truck to at least 140°F before changing. That's good enough for me! Another point of interest, buy your oil in the 1 gallon...

Tools?

Any makers making special tools for the high pressure lines? Like a flare nut wrench? I'm wondering what the pros are using. The Puller needed for the
VP44? You get the idea.
