Alternator is not charging the battery. Last week, I would start the truck, it would read 14.2v until I gave it some throttle, then it would drop to 13.3v and stay there. Now this weekend, I noticed it stopped charging altogether. I replaced the battery on Friday, and replaced the alternator...

My Cummins swap is in the home stretch now. I’ve been driving it around town searching for any issues that pop up. One thing I can’t seem to figure out is the A/C system. I can’t get the PCM to signal to the A/C compressor clutch to engage. It will only engage if I run a jumper wire directly...

I think I'm finally in the home stretch of this project. The entire drive train is in, minus the driveshafts. I've taken the measurements, I just have to settle on who to purchase from (Tom Woods/HighAngle/others?). Engine is in, Transmission in, Transfercase, and both Axles are in. The...

I need to figure out what I am going to do about gauges for the truck. Its a 2005 F150. I really don't want a lot of gauges cluttering the cab/A pillar. I would really like just a single screen that can display all my data. Most of the digital monitors I'm finding hook up through the OBDII...

I pulled the 12v from a 1994 Dodge 2500. I started it up on the garage floor and it ran fine. Since then, I’ve done the following mods: 5x0.014 injectors Advance timing to 19* 4K GSK 60# Valve springs KDP fix I just tried starting the engine again after finishing all the above mods, and it...

I just replaced my rear main seal. It wasn’t leaking, but I figured since the engine was out of the truck, might as well replace it. The install was simple enough, but once I finished up and inspected the new seal, I noticed there was a small gap in between the crank and seal on the right...

Hey guys, I just started my project. I noticed on the stock F150 transmission, when in Park, the transmission shift lever is all the way rearward,and the column shifter pulls the lever forward to cycle through the gears, but in the dodge 47rh, it’s the opposite. That would mean that on my shift...

Hey guys, I have some new injectors on the way. Was gonna get some 370 marine's to save some money, and then the day I was going to place the order, I noticed Power Driven Diesel was having a Memorial Day Sale, 10% off most of their products. I took it as a sign from God himself to not get the...

I just installed the 4k GSK kit from DCP, removed all the shims as instructed, but am confused on the last shim/washer seated under the seat. Looks like it may be a wear washer, was this supposed to be left in? I called DCP but they were busy. The bigger shim on the right is the one I'm talking...

Hey guys, I'm currently trying to start my 12 valve out of a '94 on the ground. It's cranking, but is just blowing a lot of white smoke out exhaust, nothing else. I cracked open the line on injector 1 to bleed the air out, still nothing. When I advanced the timing last week, I followed the...

Been shopping for injectors and notice that you can buy just the nozzles. I have access to a pop pressure tester. How easy would it be to swap out the nozzles on my own? I see a lot of videos on swapping nozzles in a Common Rail 5.9. Is it any different in a p-pumped 12 valve? This is the only...

Hey guys, so I'm in the middle of shopping for a new torque converter for my 47rh. I bumped the timing of the engine up to 17* (stock was 12.5), and as I understand it, advancing the timing moves the powerband of the engine high up in the RPMs. Would I still want to go with a low stall (~300...

I just got my 12 valve and 47rh tranny pulled from a 1994 Dodge. Was wondering if I'll need the wiring harness from the truck. I was starting to remove the loom just in case I need it, but once it goes into the cab it is a MESS and is causing a lot of frustration. I plan on getting a...
