diesel truck, I don't know anything. Help me please

[Special T]

I've got new bosch injectors in one of my dodges... My buddy put some kind of hi flow injectors in his rig and didn't do anything else..said it made the rig run smoother AND slightly better fuel milage... ever heard of that kinda thing? I'll have ot get the brand and specs...

Oh, I believe you.  I know what Alldata has to say.

I would be curious, if you ever find out, what caused the pump to crap out.  It's not very often as you now.  Sure, FCA's, HPLV's, COV's, rail pressure senser's etc. do go on the blink.  The cp3 is a pretty tough pump.

Yup, better mpg and run's smoother.  Throw a cam shaft in it and it's even better.  A better intercooler and a turbo or two and your getting somewhere.

The pump is leaking...I don't know exactly how or where, runs like a champ till he puts a load on it. Our shop is 3 blocks down the road so I see the truck when I write it up and I see it when it's done. I will sometimes go all week without even seeing my techs. It's a crummy deal but it is what it is.

Vantage is a candyass pass....i really can not think of any pass in this state that is a true test..

Then that really says something about the gas engines doesn't it?

shoot fire! I didn't know it wuz a race!! now that I know: start in Vantage
I figure getting a good run down the hill  west bound, take the outside lane and make that right turn onto the bridge at about 80 stand on it accross the bridge and stay in the left lane, if they try to pass(with no bump) just wing yer trailer out in front of them. straddle the line between left and center. if they dive into the far right lane some slow truck will let you cut them off.
 
when you hit the flat at Eburg remember to flip them off when they pass and you will see them again between cle elum and the pass. Then again on Tiger mountain, remember to wave.

O'course I am driving my girly little 1/2 ton and my weinie 22 foot trailer.

I run 150 hp injector and custom injection pump in my Cummin and lift pump. I get great mileage and i pulls like a semi. It is always funny to hear peoples reasoning for gas engines and way diesels are so horrible. I am currently at 256k on the truck and would not give it up for anything. I like that post about the price of a injection pumps from the dealer i had a run in with a dealer it was a Sunday pump went out on a trip had to buy a pump for over 3k. Someone must be looking out for me i get back home and the pump go's out again. So pump number two in two days found a custom pump for half the price. Needless to say took me 2 weeks of fighting to get my money back. Had to take the pump and have it test by a Bosch pump build to prove that i was right. The service manager at the dealership told me "These pumps never are bad from the factor you are the one who destroyed it and you are going to pay for your stupid mistake." If it was possible i would have jump through the phone and murder the guy. Point of this is diesels are great trucks they will run forever if you give it love. As long as it not a newer ford 6.0 6.4 or 6.7

right.. 

You should have just took the truck back to them and got another injection pump for free rather than spending another $1500 on another one. I don't understand that....

What is with all the trashing on 6.0 diesels I own a 06 f250 with the 6.0 and love it, I will agree the 03 was a bad year for them being new and all but the 06 model has fewest warranty claims than any powerstroke. I have owned a 98 dodge Cummings and will never own a dodge again.  That is my opinion we all have one, I guess I get sick of people talking trash about a truck that they don't own or drive. They just hear stuff and believe it all to be true thanks for letting me vent.

my factory dodge Cummins has pulled 30kgvw from Longview to Mt Vernon not dropping below 60mph from the factory......  Unfortunately you need a specialty mechanic from a Diesel shop to get REAL service from a factory product... I don't think it matters what brand of big 3 it is.... From what i understand all big 3 diesels are so de-tuned to meant auto tranny requirements and Emissions BS  they F-up just because...

If you want a real pulling rig its diesel and a stick... just ask the professional haulers...  Just let me know if i'm wrong......

[jackelope]

You're not wrong regarding the emissions crap causing problems for all the manufacturers, although it seems that everyone's got it figured out now.

[Special T]

Jackalope by that you mean the bypass systems... If you go over a scale that is not an option, because of inspections.... That is why i will run my rigs into the dirt.... 

[jackelope]

No I mean the regen and other stuff that cleans the EGR and turbos of carbon buildup caused by the new DPF stuff. That was the problems that all of the big 3 had with the new emissions stuff at first. Every so often a 6.7L Cummins runs itself through a regeneration process where it sort of burns itself clean. For someone using a truck like you use yours, you'd likely not ever have a problem with it. The guys that  were having problems are the little short dudes in Bellevue that buy diesel trucks to go to Bellevue Square and never use them for what they are supposed to be used for. Long periods of idling is bad for them, stop and go driving, etc. all bad. The thing that seemed to have fixed the Cummins trucks was a recall to reprogram the PCM to make the regen happen differently.
I heard a story from a fleet guy that the guys up on the ice roads wanted to buy a whole pile of new Dodge trucks a few years ago but the fact that they were having all the issues with them scared them away. Not being able to leave them idle all the time is an automatic disqualifier up there. I don't know how true that story is...just something I heard from a fleet guy.
