A few years ago I had what I thought was a bad alternator, but even after testing that, the ECM, and the cam sensor, nothing resolved the issue and the truck wasn't charging. I installed an external voltage regulator and life was good for awhile....now it will randomly go from 14 volts to 18...

I currently have a P pumped 24V with SO pistons, and I am running the DAP 6X.013 sticks, set to 300 BAR with the 152* spray angle and stock copper washers . I'm currently running 26 degrees of timing and the truck starts up great, and runs great.....I would love to add some more timing but am...

My Goldendoodle chewed up my front right ABS sensor wire while on Christmas vacation, I was upset but figured it would be an easy fix. Here is my dilema sofar: Replaced the right front sensor with the BWD brand sensor (part # ABS321) and buttoned the truck up and both the brake light and the...

OK, so I just pulled the engine apart this past weekend, not because it had failed me, but because I had already put another engine in the truck and had this used engine that I was ready to tear into and rebuild. This engine had 273K miles on it when I pulled it, but 50K of those miles were on...

I have called pretty much every Machine shop in this area and none of them are capable of line boring cam journals for bushings. I did talk to Haisley on the phone, and they can do it, but I am trying to avoid driving 6 hours, or paying that much freight on a block. I would be willing to drive...

What is the largest sleeve I can have installed in a 24V block? I have searched this a good bit and people are saying that you can only bore a block .040 over, but I'm not finding much information on sleeving a block. I'm planning on using a 6.7 crank in this block, and trying to squeeze...

I was reading an article in "Trucktrend" about Brent Lorencza who had a VP powered 6.4 Cummins, and if my memory serves me correct he was running a 64/80 for compounds. The part of this article that really caught my attention was that his CR was 21:1......The article went on to say the truck is...

I currently am using the crazy carl APPS mount on my p pump, and I feel extremely confident that everything is set up, and working correctly. My throttle is smooth as silk, and during idle on a cold engine, it sits right at 750 rpms, once it reaches operating temperature, it seems to want to...

I am starting to piece together parts for a 12V build, and since my last build was a 24V p pumped build, I am not familiar with what I need to be looking for on a 12V head. I am seeing some on Ebay for 250-700 dollars, they all seem to show the casting marks on the head as if this denotes some...

Since I have done my P pump conversion I have had several oil and fuel leaks, all of which were easy fixes and I was down to one very minor oil leak and I finally located it. It is coming from the tappet cover bolt right behind the P pump. If I get under the truck I can see the allen bolt that...

OK, I am baffled here, I have seen several p pump kits for sale that offer the spacer for the intake horn so you can use it on top of your grid heater, and then I have seen several intake spacers that delete the grid heater and are taller for a p pump conversion, but I can't seem to find just...

Does anyone know if a hub is being made that would put the fan further away from my engine so I can have the clearance to run a waterman pump? I'm not wanting to run electric fans just because I prefer to keep everything mechanical and if a spacer can be had, it seems like it would be a cheaper...

I have no idea if this has been done or even attempted, if it has then sorry for re-inventing the wheel but here is my idea: On the P pumped 24V I am building, I am going to run a valve cover breather, and also run 2 breathers from a billet tappet cover. My thoughts are to TIG weld a stainless...

I am still getting the P0230 code, which is LP is out of voltage range....I am currently running a fuel boss mechanical pump. How can I get this code to go away, I have cleared it but it returned. Do I need a resistor and if so what is the best type to use? Thanks in advance!

I am currently in the process of a mild build (400 HPish) and am interested in running a waterman gear driven pump. I currently have used a Fuel Boss for close to a year now w/o any issues, but I wanted this p pumped 24v to have a mechanical pump, that was more efficient than the stock 12V...
