I was told it was white.. no first hand experience on the stuff though so I don't know for sure.
I used Captn' America to remove mine, it was stuck on there pretty good.

The 12v I'm driving right now has 279000 miles and has been maintained religiously. Its slightly bombed and runs awesome. LuckyJeff will verify:awesomework:
98.5 cummins 86k miles, quad adrenaline tuner, exhaust, intake, airtex fuel pump. Fried a vp44 on power level 10 WOT. Since then nothing so far. Had it for almost 2k miles now so we'll see what all pops up. Tranny is slipping a little.
You've had it for less than 2000 miles and already fried a injection pump?
I just sold my 96' Powerstroke with 237K, I bought it with 221K. I sold it because in my opinion it was falling apart, it needed a few hours of repairs (not maintenance) every 500 miles, or less. In the 13 months I owned it:
Vacuum pump
Alternator (its 3rd)
Fuel bowl heater (left me on side of road)
Waterpump
Clutch bushings/ linkage (wouldnt engage the clutch switch)
Transfer case shifter bushings (t-case linkage was so sloppy it fell apart)
Driver's door fell off
Massive oil pan leak
Top half of driver's seat BROKE off, rewelded seat frame
re- torqued passenger seat bolts, seat rattled apart
replaced 5-6 lightbulbs that worked when i got it
Retorqued u-bolts- front axle was sliding back and forth, clunking
Probably more if I think about it.
There was also plenty of other maintenance items (wheel bearings, thermostat, ect) but I was done with that POS. The 2nd day after selling it the new owner called asking if i knew about a geyser oil leak.
It's a Dodge owner thing.. They see the symptoms.. trade it in QUICK.. lucky new owner gets the surprise :redneck:
I will beg to differ. I will take my nicer riding, much queiter, nicer interior, better steering, better braking, more powerful, less smokey, more roomey, nicer looking, power up at a push of a button, electronic diesel any day of the week over the 12valver with no regrets. But anyways to each their own.:fawkdancesmiley:ELECTRONIC DIESELS SUCK!! Unless your a gaming nerd and like to tune with buttons. "Dude ever got your truck to level 5"? "yeah, a few times then it was game over".:booo:
Go 12V or go home broke.:beer:

Come awn now Choppy, you guys overdue it on the reliability thing as I know of numerous people that have hauler 3rd gens with high miles that have had zero probs But the difference is that they maintain their **** and dont push the envelope in the "overpowering dept" Mine is under warranty for 2 more years, and knock on wood that I hope to not use it but if I need it it will be there. Not trying to put anyone one down, but the gripe out of people that dont own one so they suck holds no water with me. 12Vs are a great setup no dought tho, and I would not argue that.:;what if it didnt come with a warranty? My requriements when buying was I had to be able to afford to fix it. I cant afford to own a electric diesel.
Does you truck have a warranty? Mine doesnt. I cant afford to trade reliablitly for comfort. Hi rollers
