Bump this to the top please . Congrats Dmax, your best days are ahead , just ask your wife she'll tell you. Any new developments?

 

Thanks N-A-Ram you beet me to it by bumping it. REmember guys we meet next Saturday at my place.

 

Nice try, I know you were just checking to see who was paying attention and who wasn't. Grab another cup of coffee and check the calendar, I think you mean two weeks. hee hee hee

 

Next week is BTS open house isnt it?

 

Well, it happened again ...

I got so busy I didn't notice that I wasn't getting the DTR email notices about new posts <again!>. What's up with the subscription notification thing?

I had a whole month's worth of reading to catch up on. .. and Dmaxeter got MARRIED!!??? congrats!

Anyhow, I jumped in here just to say that I went down to Cummins MidSouth in Memphis today and picked up one of those *cheap* lift pumps. I gave them the part number and they sold it to me. No questions asked.

More news from the Prospector's cave: we've got a buyer for this place, and we are moving to Memfrica this weekend. We close on the new place on Wednesday.

It is a pretty sure bet that I won't be going to Tupelo for the meeting (see, I got back on topic ). My son will be flying in to visit during the Memphis in May stuff that weekend.

Got plans for the next meeting yet? I've got a lift pump; maybe I'll have a Vulcan big-line kit to install with it by then. Maybe a guage or 2..

 

Hey, Prospector is still alive What type of lift pump are you speaking of? I havent heard anything on this one yet.
Congrats on selling the homestead and closing on the new one. Let us know if we can help with anything.

 

Hey Dmax you here bout my fuel rail problems? I popped the relief prety bad last night while testing, and it was bad enough to go into limp mode. Looks like I wont be able to run with everything turned up after all. I think the way it happened had something to do with it though. Cause it was the last of 3 consecutive hard pulls, so I'm thinking cause it didn't do it the 1st 2 times, I may just have to take more time between runs.

Glad to see that Prospector is still around. The next meeting will definately be a dyno day at Mid South Diesel sometime around the beginning to middle of June. I just have to get up with Sam on costs and such. And make sure he can work it into his schedule.

 

Man, it popped the relief valve? Is it ok now? Did it damage the valve? If so, get a part number and talk to Sam at Midsouth about a replacement. Im sure its Bosch part. No sence in paying $500 for a new one from Dodge.

 

There is a good topic or 2 about it over on TDR, but hard to find much about it here. I did find this topic that talks about it some: intank pump+ updated cummins pump= ?????

I am not sure of the individual pumps part number but the 65.00 price is for this number- 4090046. So that is what you need to ask for. I work at a new car dealer this is standard procedure. When you have a recall you control the parts so you price them really low so you don't get eaten up in recall costs. After the recall is over the price will be adjusted way up. You just need to make them think you are doing the recall. Some won't ask anything at all other than "how will you be paying for this and where do I ship it?" You are not breaking any laws by getting it for this price. If you feel bad about lying just keep calling cummins parts departments till you get someone who doesn't ask what you want it for.

A lot of folks seem to be real happy with the new pump when combined with the Vulcan kit often called the "big line kit" but actually sold as "Vulcan Pusher Pump System™"

 

Another DTR topic about it - here.

BTW, this kit also includes a "low fuel pressure" switch. I figure you don't need a degree in electrical engineering to run a wire to a light or LED *somewhere* on the dash.

Thanks.
I'll start hauling some stuff over as soon as we have the keys (Wed afternoon), but the "official" moving day is Saturday. I'll probably rent a moving truck or endclosed trailer so we can git-r-done in fewer trips... unless someone here HAS a decent size trailer and a Saturday to kill.

 

I guess I should check in, it's been a while.

Congrats to DmaxEter, I've been married a month today and loving every minute of it. Now if we can just go on our honeymoon.

Prospector, what area of memphis are you moving too? I do have a trailer but I don't have a Sat., we'll be out of town this weekend.

Nothing much goin on expet the usual, so I guess I'll get back to work.

 

Moving right downtown.
Shrine Building - on Monroe & Front St.

 

Yeh, it's running fine now. Nothing is damaged at all. It is a reset vavle thankgoodness. It just went to limp mode till the valve reset, and I turned the truck off and recranked it. Sure was scary having the power of a 1st gen and the loudness of a 24v for a while though, till everything went normal again. Something else I noticed when it went to limp: the Edge automatically reset itself to default programming, and I had to reset all the parameters on it again.

 

Streetsmoker, change of topic. I need some digits so I can get in touch with you on 5/6. I'm planning on being there if nothing happens. PM me with the numbers. Thanks, Rick

 

Hey StreetSmoker, PM me with your address too. I plan on being there. Also what time ?
