Don't trust these guys (I reconize mechanic talk when I here it)
So I went to Autozone & asked for you........He (The 16 year old behind the counter) looked it up on the computer and started to ask all the vital info.
It was going well but I wasn't sure if you had a long or short bed, I guessed - but then he asked me which diesel you had....The V-6 or the Hemi , Hell how should I know. After that I relized I couldn't possibly answer the rest of the questions I just asked him if I could look at all of them. That's when he said that they had all of but the year you needed. Boy I was this close to finding out for you.
Sorry but you can't argue with that computer It's puurdy smart ya know.

I have a friend who moved up from "Down Under" and his Cummins needs left hand thread spark plugs due to the "Coriolis effect". Dang if he can find any in the states. Anyone know where he can get such spark plugs for a 98 CTD short of ordering from Aussie-land; shipping and handling fees will kill him.
Of course his vehicle is right hand drive but that is okay because thanks to Mr. Gaspard G. Coriolis (civil engineer - all engineers are uncouth misfits, not a civil one in the lot) his motor rotates the opposite direction in the Northern Hemisphere giving him 6 reverse gears and one forward gear, so when he is driving down the road in 6th reverse the steering wheel is on the correct side of the road ensuring safe passing. Of course he spends a lot of time at the chiropractor for the crick in his neck from looking over his shoulder to drive.
Any help greatly appreciated.

My dealer said...since you drilled holes in your air box, you should also drill holes in the intercooler too. It breathes better.
While I'm at it, I might port my oil pan.

These Dodges are to hard to understand I might have to sale and buy a
Stoker or a Duramax, at lease I know where the spark plugs are on them and they said you only if to rotate the headlight once a year. And as a bonus they will replace the summer air in your tires for free

Well after getting the crank out and finding my spark plugs, I managed to get everything back together and running. It seems to be running a little rough so I went to napa and got 9 cans of CIC (Compression-Inna-Can). I know it is only reccomended to use 1 can per cylinder, but I figured if I used 1.5 cans per cylinder, it will increase my HP by 50%. On my old gasser I used to get "Boxospark" for the distributer I would either get an 8 and a 4 pack, or 2 6 packs. The trick was trick the distributer cap back over without spilling it. My questions are, where is the distributer of these Cummins, and is it hard to get to?
My service department will no longer just change the air in the tires, they are telling me " To meet the new EPA reqirements for Global warming, we are required to capture the summer air and winter air from the tires. We then have to store them untill the proper season arrives, at which point they are released for recycling. Int doing this, the tire needs to be dismounted, flushed, rremounted, THEN filled with the proper air." There fore, at $250.00 per season, I do my own.

i made sure i didnt have to deal with the winter / summer air in the tires so i went ahead and bought the summer wheel and tire package at local tire shop since my truck came standard with winter air. any body know where the water filler is on the turbo cooler? i couldnt find it so tapped the top side of it and ran a new one next to the radiator. boy does she pull hard now, it was bone dry.

) and some bling. Nice and shiney all polished up. Talk about a Ram air intake. Works better than a Scotty. Has that cowl hole beat by a long shot. The faster you drive, the better. Running 100mph, it dropped my EGTs by about 800*. 
Time for more fuel. I think AutoZone will have the left-hand spark plugs. They have EVERYTHING you could EVER need for a diesel.
