Before I call Quadzilla for support, I thought I'd ask for suggestions here. I recently noticed that my Quadzilla high idle won't start anymore. I have checked several times that it is on and the elapsed time is set right now to 60 seconds. I have tried other tunes and it doesn't work with any of them. I have deleted and reloaded tunes, that didn't help. I checked that my Vehicle Selection is correct, V2 Dodge 98-2002 version 2.7, NOT the 4k. This summer a rodent chewed a little hole in my iQuad box. I have since used a VERY small piece of that rubberized/foil backed tape to seal the hole. I have not had to jumpstart the truck. The only time a battery ch…

When I do my brake calipers, should I replace the rubber brake lines? If so, stock or upgrade of some kind. If I'm going to flush the brake fluid, might as well in my opinion. What's the difference between various brake fluids? Any upgrade advisable?

So I almost made it to 250k miles without a single problem with the stock air and heat system. Anyway, we went on a drive today and about half way through the day, the vent system stopped working. The blower motor was still blowing hard but it wasn't really coming out of any vents that hard. I was using the regular A/C at the time. I messed with the mode knob a bit. The floor vents work good but the dash and defrost vents barely have any air flow when on those settings. Am I looking at a mode door problem here? How hard is it to get at? The HVAC system is one area I haven't ever worked with before. Thanks as always!!

I am installing some candle sticks, which are fancy marker lights for the outside of the truck. I want to splice into the marker lights/turn signal so they turn on when the parking lights are on and blink with the turn signal. the marker lights have 3 wires: Green, Black, and I think its purple with a white line. Which ones would I splice into to get my candle sticks to work the way I am looking for? Thanks for the time and help.

I replaced my ac low side valve core with this part # MT0064-4 from autozone. It leaks. Is there somewhere I can get the right replacement? I went to napa and the man went through a drawer full of them and came up with this one. It leaks too. I am sick of working on this a/c system. Have you ever heard of a piercing tool not working. I have one, can tap is not letting fluid out. I have a side can tap on the way, should be here tomorrow. Damdest thing I have ever seen!

Hey guys. I am finally getting around to finishing up installing a couple extra sets of driving lights. I have some 50w spot beams that I wired to their own switch and they work great. I am trying to finish up the 100w spot beams now. I have them all wired with a relay system, I just need a power source to trigger the relay. The problem is I would really like them to just come on with the high beams. After taking a step back and checking out some wiring diagrams, I realized that the whole headlight system is based on a ground switching circuit. This wont really work with my wiring set up I have at the moment. Is there anywhere in the system that I could find a g…

What are those two wires/ cables going down to the front of skid plate for? Under the trans they are attached to the skid plate. I came down my road with my clock and radio station display not showing. So I noticed ice build up on top of the skid plate with two wires also surrounded in ice. After carefully removing the packed snow, I turned on the ignition and the clock /station display sort of fisseled back into action. Anyone know what else they go to? Not a very good location for grounds if that's what they are. T.I.A.

I've got a good bit of rust on the old girl and I can't stand it much more. I have looked at LMC and on partsgeek.com for body panels but I'm not sure of the quality. Anyone know of a good place to get quality body panels at a reasonable price. Kinda been scared to check dealer pricing. Thanks.

I have recently replaced my front brake pads. Someone let them go a bit to long and the right front got all the way thru the pad. Well anyway got some new pads and replaced them last week. I did notice some odd things, The first not so odd is the brakes pulled to the left as the pad wore thru to metal on the right side. I swapped in all the new pads and some spare rotors I had onto the truck. The left pads had worn uneven as in a wedge shape. One end was maybe 3/32 s fatter than the other and the same on the opposing pad. I have never had a set pads wear like that. After I had everything installed I took for a test spin. The pedal took a few applications to get a good re…

On my 02 I have constant power to my 12v power plug. The cigarette lighter comes on with the key. Can I some how take the two out swap power wires or just wire to a different keyed power source? Or is it possible to make my lighter plug where a charger will fit. Because nothing but the lighter will plug in to it now.

I think I am having a air flow problem through my condenser at idle. Running down the road I have 40* center vent temps at 95 ambient. Creeps up when I hit a stop. Fan clutch seems to be moving lots of air in the shroud but I do not have baffles between rad and intercooler or intercooler and condenser. It had a AFE intercooler when I bought it, stock baffles gone. Anybody have any baffle suggestions? Thanks

I just did the tie rods on my 01 2500 4X4. I bought the parts ahead of time, and when iI pulled the old tie rods out of the truck and put them side by side I found they did not match. After some extensive research the parts guy and I determined that the ones on my truck matched up to a '99. nI got all the '99 model tie rods and got back after it. When I got to the tie rod that meets the pitman arm I found that the shaft on it was to small. I took it back and it was for an '01. Finaly it is all back together and now I'm wondering why someone would have changed this. I have looked at both setups and it seems to me the older tie rod setup looks a little heavier/stronger, so…

I have an Autometer fuel pressure gauge for my Cummins that constantly loses pressure the more I drive it. I seem to have a air leak and I have tightened every single connection. My T connector is between my lift pump and my fuel filter, is the best place for my T??I have a isolator on it. Fuel flows into a piece of equipment I bought with my gauges........so there is no actual fuel coming into the truck via the gauge.Should my T for my fuel be after the fuel filter?????
