It shows pulse width but not each individual injector. Or if it does I don't know how to make it do so.

It might also depend on which MT2500 cartridge(s) you have...

True. But I think mine was either 1999 or 2000. I also have a SnapOn Solus that only show the same information. I know the Dodge/Jeep PCM are very limited as to what information is available.

Yes it is. I was going to say I was going to have to wait until I had the Jeep running again but I can use my truck to see what I can do. But as far as I've ever seen you can't isolate each injector which is what I was hoping to do.

When I blended the two wiring harnesses I didn't touch the Ram harness as far as the injector wiring so I didn't think there could be an issue but I guess while I'm waiting on the heads I can pinout each injector and verify that the wiring is all good. I had listened to the injectors with a stethoscope and thought I could hear each one clicking but I'd like to verify. I did buy a set of NOID test lights so I can wait to use them also once I have it running again.

I've got these head gaskets coming for my engine but would like to hear from others that might have used them. This brand/model was recommended in another article I'd read.

Fel-Pro Performance Head Gaskets 1008


Won't be a large bump in compression but this should bring me up to just about 10:1. I've got my fingers crossed that I'll get a phone call later this week asking me to come pickup the heads. I've got a Jeep Club meeting in Selah (same town as the machine shop) Thursday night so it'd be nice to save a trip over there.

Felpro makes some good stuff. What was the compressed thickness of the last set of gaskets?

The last head gaskets I used were Cometic and they were a 0.040 compressed thickness & these are a 0.039 compressed thickness so there shouldn't be any issues with them. When I first assembled the engine I'd used Fel Pro head gaskets also but they were what had come with the complete engine gasket set. They were also the head gasket that I had the blown head gasket with. And yes I've always had good luck with Fel Pro gaskets. I'm just trying to gather everything I'll need and have it all on hand prior to getting the heads back.

They are supposed to be but mine got bent and messed up when I was removing the heads so I'm just going to replace them.
