OK all, those of you that are running the V2 tuning with the iQuad let’s see your phone/tablet setups!!! I am looking into buying a new one because my Samsung galaxy tab E has started to fail and the screen is separating from the tablet. Not sure if I want to upgrade to a different tablet or replace this one?!!

so i got something in my drivetrain kinda hooking up making a poping sound in 2high, It only dose it in reverse with the wheel cranked to the right.(in 2hi) i don’t feel it or hear it with the wheel cranked to the left. I also can’t make it pop going fed in either direction (in 2hi) In 4high I can make it pop going forward with the wheel either way, like barely half to 3/4 turn not even cranked. if i kept wheel straight in sounds fine but turning the wheel either way it was binding up hard. I was on dry pavement so i know it 4high this is somewhat normal. I am more concerned about the 2hi noise. I cant find any play in any axel joint or u joint…

When i start my truck it has no throttle response (dead Pedal), I let it idle for about 5 to 10 minutes, turn off truck and restart throttle response returns and it runs great. I have replaced the Throttle position sensor and still has same issue. I have tried to check for AC noise but don't have the right tester, i have removed the 140 alternator fuse and it still has same issue, next stepp is to remove alternator and have it tested. Any other option would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

When you fellows replace u-joints, do you have a preferred brand and series? And most importantly, on the front axles do you use greasable joints? I believe the Spicer SPL55-4X has the zerk, but how hard would access be? For my rear driveshaft am leaning toward Spicer 5-1410-1X, the greasable model. Do you all change the center bearing at the same time? Mine seems to be in good shape. All [good] advice would be appreciated!

So I have read everything there is about this code and parts and followed a lot of steps of troubleshooting! But my question is has anyone done the re-sauter of the transistor inside the vp44 and did it work? I know it’s either my vp and or the ecm. Just still trying to get a good idea on which one to drop the cash on. So so after new fuel pump(17 psi now ??), filter,apps, and a lot of ground wire chasing the truck starts fine but low idle around 6-700 rpm then if you hit the throttle no matter very lightly or peg it to the floor it jumps to 1400 and stays.

I'm new to 2 stroke oil but I'm trying to come up with a good and efficient means of dosing it. I've got a gallon jug in the tool box but would like to be able to accurately measure what I'm putting in. Preferably a sealable container so it doesn't get contaminated throwing it back in the box. What are y'all using? P.S. getting a package from dap today. Injectors going in this afternoon.

This code came up on my 2001 3500 Cummins 24v when we had very cold weather. Truck would not start. Replaced filters and truck started back up but code is still on. The truck runs but when I’m going down the road I get a dead pedal and no power but the truck is still running. I take my foot off the pedal and accelerate again and truck is fine. It will do this once and a while but it’s getting worse and worse. I believe it’s the vp44?

This morning I started my truck like normal, waited for the wts light to go out and she fired up. Took a couple more rounds than normal. Grid heater cycled like always. Get in and get ready to roll and I see the CEL. I shut her down and check the code. 1291 and that companion code as well. 1693 or something like that. So I turned the key and wts came on and went off after about 6 secs. Started up did fine I went on. Got to work (35min drive) and shut her down. Turned the key and the wts stayed on just like it sat all night. Turned it off and back on and it went off with the rest of the lights. Same thing today after work. So what do I need to look at first? Could it …

Hi guys, I'm experiencing a woo-woo-woo noise. It seems it's coming only while the engine is under load, or it gets louder, with the more load. So..if I'm driving on the highway, and I go up a hill, it gets louder when the engine works harder. If I let off, it goes away instantly. It sounds like something is off balance to me, I'm just not sure what could be making the noise, only while the engine is under load. I pulled the front drive shaft. The wheel balancing weights are still on tires. Tires, brakes, rotors, hubs new in the last 15k or less..and this is a new development. Any ideas to look at? Here's a video..you can hear it pretty clear at …

I recently installed the mopar1973man high idle kit and it has worked out great. But i have noticed once I turn it off and let the truck idle for a while it will idle up again to 1200 rpm. It this normal after having my 2001 flashed with the smarty due to it being programmed into the system now. I live in clearwater florida and the days i have noticed this have all been above 70 degrees. Do you guys and gals think I have an issue, operator error, or just part of the new system flash. Any help as always is greatly appreciated. 2001 2500 quad cab shortbed 24v cummins 47re tranny 6 inch lift with 35x12.5 tires

98.5 24v. truck has a block heater but it is 110volt 3 pin. I have a transformer from 240v to 110volt so no problem on that side but on the American plug what is what ? I'd guess big pin is earth and other 2 are live and neutral ? Does it matter which is which as it does here (England)

I bought 6 new Bosch RV275 injectors one year ago (the price was right - $425 for the set) and finally installed them last Friday. The original injectors operated for 303,000 miles and had never been removed. They were still performing well – as in smooth idle, good power, and good fuel economy. I didn’t want to push a good thing too far. The job went smoothly with the help of this site. All of the old injector tips were clean considering the miles and years on them. I did notice however, that there is a black coating of something kind of oily / powdery (not sure what it is) in the intake area just below the grid heaters. It is not present in t…

Hey guys can someone please help me. I had to emergency stop twice now and all the truck did was lock up the rear tires and the front did nothing. Rear abs does not work but the light does not come on to tell me there's a problem. The light does work when you turn the key on, then goes out after a couple of seconds. I'm not sure if my truck is supposed to have 4 wheel abs or not but I found the abs wires cut at the hubs. Any help would be great. Thanks
