These notes should pretty well cover everything from 94-97, beyond that there may be subtle differences I do not know about. So here goes... nationalchapter@bellsouth.net (Chris Foogle) Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.cumminsforum.com/articles/articles/57/1/VE-Pump-Governor-Spring-Install/Page1.html I have put together a general instruction set for installing the governor spring in our VE pumps. Would those who have done it please read it thru carefully and let me know what I've missed, put in by mistake, described wrong or anything else. I want this to be as complete as possible because the "nervous factor" is fairly high on this mod... at least for most of us that is... paccoolst@aol.com (Stan Pacool) Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.cumminsforum.com/articles/articles/55/1/Thermocouple-Installation-on-Dodge-Cummins-Diesel/Page1.html There are two ways you can drill and tap the exhaust manifold for a pyrometer/thermocouple. The first is to remove the exhaust housing from the engine and, the second is done with the exhaust manifold on the engine. paccoolst@aol.com (Stan Pacool) Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.cumminsforum.com/articles/articles/42/1/Replacing-the-TPS-with-a-Potentiometer/Page1.html Here is an Email that a member sent me regarding unhooking the TPS and using a potentiometer in its place. It is a fairley straight forward prrocedure. Instead of a 10 turn pot, I used a one turn. I can set the pointer anywhere between the 9 oclock and 1 oclock locations. I crank the dial up when towing so it shifts a little later and turn it down for everyday driving so it shifts sooner. paccoolst@aol.com (Stan Pacool) Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.cumminsforum.com/articles/articles/49/1/Borgenson-steering-shaft-and-steering-box-seal-replacement/Page1.html To change the steering shaft, the first thingI did was remove the front wheel. Make sure to turn the front wheels so you have good acess to the roll pin on the steering shaft before you jack the truck up. Next, take a pair of vise grips or pliers and pull out the orange plastic piece that is inside the roll pin. paccoolst@aol.com (Stan Pacool) Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500
