i have a1996 cummins 3500 with the older metal 3 bar Mirrors and i was wondering if you can swap them out with the newer plastic kind and if so how hard is it.:humm:

ok ppl i am new to the diesel world, i have a 98 12 valve with 326xxx miles on it. i have straight exhaust 3 in with 8 in tip. i have taken the screw off the p pump and turned it up like that but heres the ? i want black smoke and lots of it and more hp. i mean i know bigger exhaust (4in), cold air intake, injectors (not sure what size i may need), turbo (thinking bd killer b, but not sure), not sure on what else to do to the pump, and i dont wanna change clutch. so any and all help would b greatful.

I just put a fuel shut off silenoid on my 96 cummins last week, it's over 600.00 at the parts house. I got it from Larry B's in two days for 144.00 shipping included in that price

Go to Walmart, purchase a pack of gum. Make sure the gum is bagged in a plastic bag. Return to truck, pop hood open, chew gum, take your air filter out, insert air filter into plastic bag, reinstall air filter with bag. Start truck and drive! Cha-ching black smoke and lots of it!

Oh forgot, return to diesel bombers and actually do some research on your truck before replying to an info thread!

Sounds like you may have a bad ground

Jus got a new vp spring on my 1994 12v Cummins and found out that when I got up to 65mph and I take my foot off the accelerator it still goes the same speed as if my foot was on it. Whenever it starts to slow down and I hit the accelerator it gets stiff and As I slow down my truck truck shuts off, any clues?

97 5.9 standard tranny 2WD drive. Recently I experienced the starter problem, starts kill it and it just kicked and lights dimmed. When I got I got into It,
I was surprised to find corrosion under the insulation on all of my 2/0 main cables. The secondary wires were corroded in some places so badly that the wire would pull apart. I changed all of the 2/0 and #8 cable & replaced the lesser wires I arranged all of the accessory wire on a buss bar that I placed on the Lt fender well. I fed the buss with 2 # 6s from the battery. Works fine and is much neater. BTW I used wire looms as much as I could, especially where the wires ran close to the block.The 1/0 & 2/0 are expensive. If you can find welders cable it works. You can buy connectors on line with 3/8 and 5/16 holes that will fit the cable nicely and give a neat look. You'll need a way to compress the fittings. Perhaps take to electrical shop. Good luck.
