Leaky Injector on '94 Cummins

From : magnusfarce

Q: magnusfarce wrote the main beam headlight lenses on my 94 ram are clouded over so badly that my lights are not as bright as they need to be. ive been told that this comes as an entire assembly and further research yields a dealer price of $180 and an aftermarket price of $65. it has also been suggested that the cleaners sold at auto stores for polishing acrylic might help. any experience out there with this problem - magnusfarce mothers mag & aluminum polish works on hazy plastic light lenses. .

solenoid. does your torque converter go into lockup i dunno. the automatic transmission thing is lost on me. im a motorcycle guy. how do i tell okay... get it up to highway speed. note your engine rpms. now depress the throttle about 3/4 of the way down. if the rpms stay where they were and only rise slightly as you accelerate then your torque converter is locked. if the rpms immediately rise 200-300rpm or more then your converter was unlocked. also while cruising at highway speeds lightly tap the brake pedal for an instant not enough to actually apply any braking force - just enough to get the brake lights to come on. if your converter was locked this will unlock it and you should notice an increase in rpms. if there isnt any increase your torque converter wasnt locked up. so if its really the sensor then the tranny needs to be opened to make the repair the pan needs to be removed but thats about it. the whole job should take about an hour. .
