I changed the injectors yesterday, it was my first time doing that. For the most part everything went well, usless you count me dropping a screw driver twice in between the intercoooler and radiator. While I was in there I adjusted the valve lash and that went pretty well. I took a picture of my cross over tubes, as this is the first time pulling them, I didn't know if this was normal. The o rings were all still in place but you can see how they had deformed and created a mess above their groove. Everyone of them were like this. The o rings themselves were all still in tact but in pretty bad shape, not sure how much longer they would have gone before I would hav…

I don't want to start a war but I need to change oil. Any oil recommendations? I've been using full synthetic amsoil for the last 3 changes. But wondering if there's a better option.

I recently moved and with that took my trip to work from +/-15min to +/-5min to work. Even with the 15 minute drive, I would just be pulling into the parking lot at work and the temp gauge would just be getting into the normal op temps, if that. Now with my drive so short, it's practically impossible to get everything warmed up before I get to work. So other then the obvious, just drive around until its warmer then go to work, are there other viable options to get the truck warmed up as to not be shutting down a cold engine?

Looking for some help... something has gone wrong! 02 Cummins, 103k, FASS150, EJWA CTS2 I installed the EJWA about a month ago... did everything myself, install went great, truck ran great. The only problem I had was I didn't think I was getting the full power of the chip from levels 3-5. There was no big difference between the two, and I had read enough and spoken to several people to know that shouldn't be the case. This lead me to buy a BD Stealth plate, which I installed Friday night. Here is where the troubles began... install went great, only problem was the gasket set I bought did not have the two Gaskets for the intake manifold. Therefore I had to reuse the one…

The wife gave me the go ahead so my plans are to install RV275s, an Edge Comp, and a stealth plate. Is there anything special that I am going to have to buy to install these (ie washers, mounting hardware?) I am hoping to improve MPGs a little and make the truck more efficient. Thanks for the help

OK so I've tested my alternator and its VAC is .02. I cleaned my terminals and it stopped my TC issues. But my shifting is still not right. It does this in every gear. It goes to shift, the RPMs drop about 200RPMs but goes back into previous gear. I will stay on the pedal (just casual driving keeping RPMs low) and once I gain 2-3 more MPH it will shift just fine. It only does it once before each gear but It does it in every gear. If I floor it, it will shift just fine through all the gears. The 47RE was rebuilt at 80K. Built with a HD TC. It has 147K right now. I don't believe the bands have been adjusted since being rebuilt. I have the paperwork from the previous owner t…

I am buying an inline mount setup. I am running a aftermarket turbo and am thinking I need to get a shorter outlet on the turbo to make room for the brake. It has six bolts and it comes off the housing. So then I can clamp the brake to the turbo and the downpipe to the brake without hitting the firewall. If anyone has tips or a picture of their setup that would help a lot. Thank you.

Question, what is the normal or usual reasons for a starter to hang? I walked out of the office, fired the truck and it was the strangest damn noise, once i realized what it was, I shut it down, restarted normally, home now, tried to reproduce it and it seems to be fine now. I have the truck on ramps cooling at the moment and going to inspect the starter to make sure its not lose etc. it was the damnedest thing FYI, i just replaced the batteries and the truck has a very brisk start to it now. is the starter getting worn?? Thoughts?

good day gents. new to site, so far seems pretty informative. thanks for that. 01 2500 4x4, auto. new to me since 2013. heres the list of issues i believe to be having; engine knock delay in shifting to OD tc lock up hunt. trans slips on left turns(sometimes) so.....with engine knock....cant remember when it started, but its been at least 9 months. noise is constant thru rpm range. i list this as a trans issue as i cant/hope not/ see the engine knocking for 6 months without failing completely. oil pressure indicator working and in normal range, 40psi at idle...thereabouts. even after driving around. ive read flex plate failure is common...perhaps…

I was inspecting my intercooler hoses this afternoon and the lower ones have seen better days. So I figured I replace all the hoses regardless of them leaking or not. As far as hose kits go are some better than others or are they pretty much all the same?

Went to adjust my kick down cable and add I was removing it from the housing I forgot to reinstall the clip. So as I was pulling the cable out the plastic cover that holds the cable popped out. Well I got it back together but now it needs adjusted because when I come to almost a stop my trans doesn't shift into first unless I give it some fuel. My concern is which way I need to move the cable. Do I move it back towards the firewall or keep pulling it forward? What started this is the fact that sometimes under wot it wouldn't shift it would max Rev and then defuel and sometimes while passing it would downshift and not upshift. Now while driving normal or …

I am looking for RV275s and both Vulcan and DAP have them on their site with some differences. Can anyone tell me if these are the same and if so, why the price difference. DAP-The price is $345 and a $100 core charge will be added to that. This also lists as "marine", is that not usable on my truck? It comes with an installation kit, (Injector connecting tube removal tool/nut, copper sealing washers and O-rings for the connector tube). Are those O rings for the cross over tube, is that the same thing? http://dieselautopower.com/bosch-new-injector-rv275-marine-300-40hp-432193635/ Vulcan-$424.99 plus $200 core charge will be added. This doesn't show as marine…

I've read Dynamic's posts about not using Alto Red frictions and steels, so what else do I need to know? I'll be doing it myself (with the assistance of a Chrysler master transmission tech) in a nice, clean, air-conditioned garage, and I'll be pressure-washing the underside of the truck and the transmission case once it's out. Problems currently are no 1-2 shift unless I lift completely off the throttle, and a leaky rear seal. The kickdown lever is broken, which allows the 2nd gear band to float free above the drum. 2-3 and 3-4 are essentially normal shifts. I've already got an FTI single-disc converter and a Suncoast billet governor solenoid plate and oversized/…

So I'm picking up my truck, with its new VP44 on Tuesday and will be making a 12 hour drive with in on the following Sunday. As I was looking my truck over before sending it off, I noticed way too much residue in the mouth of my Turbo. Considering that I run a K&N, I was pretty surprised. Then I started reading around here and my Turbo looks pretty much like the one in Mopar73's article about BHAF. What I'm wondering is if I can use the tubin setup and heat shield from my K&N and get a BHAF to fit into the space? If anyone has done this or knows about the size dimentions, I'd really appreciate it. Normally, I'd just go get a filter and give it a go but, …
