just picked up a 97 12v cummins...wife is pissed off from all holy hell because it's a stick...blah blah blah, wtf she never drove the couch when I had it any how.

Congrats. Got to show us pic's. My wife can drive mine but being 4'11" does not like to.

I don't know why she is complaining. Unless it has a big trailer and on a hill you can't stall it in first gear. Any way you let go of the clutch it is going forward even at idle.

Here she is...

Nice truck, congratulations. I've been educating myself about those trucks.

There are some things about the 12V Dodge that one needs to be aware of Like the 5th gear nut and the dowel pin and the return hoses but all in all with a little TLC they are damn near bullet proof.

Other than one alt and a repair on hoses mine has been trouble free for over 10 years.

Ok, wtf is this big red button, been scared to muck with it? Brakes? Fuel pump? Zombie EMP? Twin 50cal bmg depolyment?

Push it and find out. Looks like some sort of throttle adjust for a PTO.

i push it and nothing happens. I can't trace it out of the firewall because it's in a weird place and i dont think i'm tracing the right cable. Then, when i was down there I looked at the damn fuel filter, and some moron busted off the drain valve. Guess I should of checked that before I bought it.

obtw, wife won't help out..."i'm to tired from working, so ill sit on my a$$ and watch the broncos pregame..." her quote

Looks like an exhaust brake button.

well, good news...i finally drained the fuel filter of the water, but I still have the water in fuel light on when the HT starts up. I had hoped...but time to swap the filter! I just don't trust that damn plastic drain valve...
