    Rocker panel question

    I never cut into the cab on the newer trucks, but I'd assume its pretty similar to the way GM has been doing it for years you have an inner and outer rocker panel. the reason they rust is moisture gets trapped in between them. if you could salvage the inner panel, you would need to cut...

    keep smelling diesel under hood

    think its because there is no info out there about how to replace seals. most guys have a leaking cp3 and just buy a rebuilt one. the aluminum front half of the cp3 has a weep hole in it if the inner seals fails. however I would think that would more than likely end up leaking inside the...

    keep smelling diesel under hood

    I won’t go into detail on how to remove the pump from the truck; I’ll start with the pump off on the workbench. Once I had my pump off my truck it was obvious my inner seal had failed- you could see the diesel running out of the shaft.Also if you see diesel leaking out of the shaft, you cannot...

    keep smelling diesel under hood

    I bought my kit from: Philadelphia Ball and Roller Bearing Co. 1346 Centre Ave. Reading PA `9601 Phone: 610-376-7500 I got their info from a Cummins forum. As soon as I told the guy I was looking for injection pump seals, he said "oh ya we made a kit up for those a few years ago"...

    keep smelling diesel under hood

    I paid like $70 with shipping for mine. Got it all done Friday. Soon as I removed my 2nd pump I could see the diesel coming out the shaft seals. Haven't driven it yet but it went together smoothly

    How Does Powdercoating Work?

    I powdercoat all of my own stuff and have done all of the pieces you want to do before. there is special high heat tape so best to let the shop do the masking. you can sometimes spray the powder onto the piece and then just wipe it off before you bake it. its just like dust until you...

    keep smelling diesel under hood

    Drove roughly 85 miles today. Smelled diesel when I got home and popped the hood. Diesel on the wiring for the dual pump controller. So has to be coming from the 2nd cp3. Where can I get a seal kit?

    keep smelling diesel under hood

    I just narrowed it down. I'm fairly certain I t's coming out of the front of the cp3. There is no signs of fuel anywhere on the motor. It's there and then under the pump. I googled and there are 2 seals on the shaft. Anybody know where I can buy them?

    keep smelling diesel under hood

    Think I found it: This is the back of my pulley on my 2nd cp3. It's obviously getting damp and all the dirt and dust is sticking to it. Wiped my finger in it and it smells like diesel. So is there a seal somewhere on the front of the cp3 I can change?

    keep smelling diesel under hood

    it is but both hoses are ending at the lower control arm on the pass side. this is the top of the drivers side of the motor where I get the smell.

    keep smelling diesel under hood

    so over the past few months I continue to smell diesel under my hood, it seems to be coming from the drivers side. however I have no leak that is leaving any kind of drops on the floor. I have looked under the hood and I am not seeing any obvious signs of a leak. Also there is no major drop...

    questionable mpg

    well if you're in that big of a hurry, why not leave sooner? if you want better mpg, gotta slow down. plain and simple.

    LBZ: Hold down bolts

    When I broke one off I pulled the valve cover and was going to weld and washer and nut on the part sticking out. as soon as I hit the broken bolt with the welder, the shot of juice broke it loose and I spun it out with my hand.

    questionable mpg

    for starters you are never going to get good mileage at close to 80. guys getting the 18+ are probably running around 60-65. When I get on the highway I run around 70 and I know the closer I get to 80 the lower the mpg go

    ARP Crankshaft Bolt

    huh the factory bolt is less than 255? I don't know why but I thought someone tried to measure the total torque of the factory bolt and it maxed out a 250 lb torque wrench

    ARP Crankshaft Bolt

    isn't the factory bolt a lot higher than 255? I know it a certain number of degrees, but I thought I remembered someone posting the final torque was pretty high
