Hi happy to be on this forum I got a 98.5 stock tranny just recently installed a cold air intake 4inch straight exhaust new exhaust manifold edge juice with attitude and a 95gph fass titanium I was wondering what brand and how big the injectors can be I'm in need of some injectors. I do know I need to upgrade tranny but I want to do that later. I use my dodge for daily driving and sometimes to have fun and race.

So I just got done replacing my vp44, after I was getting (hard start or so I thought I'm 50/50 with this I don't know if it was my starter and cables or actually a hard hot start) I got the new one in, checked all connections, made sure the key way is in the groove, and started putting everything back together. Got it started once to have the starter go out the next startup.... Put new starter in and all new cables, I finally get to test drive it. ( I also have a wire tap) so I went for a test run..... And to me it doesn't feel like it had the spunk like my old pump did. ( if that makes any sense) I'm 100% sure of this because I lost about 7 psi of boost.( with old I w…

I just bought a 2000 2nd gen cummins with 150hp injectors Owner said it has an off brand turbo that’s 60mm and a hot rod vp44 it smokes very badly down low and I can’t figure out how to reduce the smoke

So I was out fiddling with the quad yesterday and set to level zero, my idle shot up to a little over 1200, basically high idle mode and instantly set off engine light. Truck was already up to temp. I could toggle back and forth and everytime I got to zero idle would shoot up, above zero it would go back down. Code was 0500, 1693 (ABS code?) Something similar happened a few months ago with that code and quad and me78569 promptly jumped in and assured me that was impossible! Well I'm here to tell you it is! I thought it worked itself out with that code awhile back, but here it is again and I'm sure it's iquad related. Even made sure to turn …

This is a long story and I will try not to be long winded. This really started long before I became a member here and before my ECM crapped out so bare with me.. About 6 years after buying the truck my ECT just fell out. Very typical of a failed t stat. Thru the years and many t stats plus a couple sensors and radiator caps, most recently replaced them all again three weeks ago.Even sent one to @Mopar1973Man packed in one dollars and it worked fine for him. After installing a cheap Suncoast gauge from Auto Zone under the hood and it mostly told the engine temp was good. Something in the wiring. I hate wiring. About three years ago I started experiencing some s…

Just got back from a 2-week Southern Tour towing a 28ft Wilderness 5th wheel camper. Truck data in my signature is current. Rig ran great but always in search of better fuel economy. Around town empty it will get ~18 mpg. On two occasions I've taken it on road trips (empty) to Dayton (400 miles flat terrain each way) & gotten a hair over 20 mpg (hand calculations) running 67 mph (2200 rpm). On this trip towing the 5th wheel (trailer wt ~ 8k lbs) on fairly flat interstate roads at ~ 60 mph (slightly under 2000 rpm) I got 13.0 mpg. This was on the first leg of the trip from St Louis to Kentucky - the whole tank was burned with trailer in tow on the interstate. Later fil…

ok. Gong to start a thread on my methanol injection setup. Here's some videos to get started. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WPOlcSvxe8 --- Update to the previous post... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl6eZpObuS8 --- Update to the previous post... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8LbINgf8XI --- Update to the previous post... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sw-xqxjwcY So as per video - heres a couple wiring questions 1) Would tapping into the 20A lighter fuse be a good place for my switched ignition source 2) I have 2 grounds for this setup. 1 for pump and 1 for controller. Whats the bet way to ground thes…

Ok so got into a weird discussion the other day on what it would take to put a real Jake brake in our cummins I'm not talking about exhaust brake. Talking about the real deal like in a semi. Is it just impossible because the design or what. Figured I'd ask the motor heads in the forum. Thanks

Alright guys, I need some opinions on two mirror options. I'll start by saying I'd really to get the 4th gen mirrors from 1aauto but as of now, i can't convince the wife to let me spend that much on mirrors! I'm going to start towing more often as crab and salmon season just opened up, I usually volunteer to tow my friends boats so I don't have to own the money pit! lol but I'd prefer to tow safely aka be able to see my trailer and other cars and things around me! Are there any cheaper alternatives? Or should I just start pulling in the early Christmas present excuses and get the mirrors?!

I put a used d80 in my cummins a month or so ago and I just filled the fluid everything turned ok so I said whatever well pulling a trailer back 300 miles yesterday I lost the abs speed sensor no mph abs brake light on blah sp I go get another sensor thinking that was shot pulled it out and half of it was missing well long story short everything meshes and is quiet so I'm going to run it just weird

Lets see - open to ANY truck years as long as a CTD

Hello, I have a AIRDOG 100 on my truck. Along with a glow shift fuel pressure gauge. I recently washed my engine bay and had a water in fuel light. It went off after a couple miles of driving. And was told to drain my water filter so I did. And bumped the key to prime and pump and it did. But now my gauge doesn't ever move. And I can't ever hear the airdog run. Even when I bump the key. Anything I can do?!? Just runs fine!!

I thought I would pass on some info for everyone! I had been talking to Mike "mopar1973man" about adding the scangauge II to my truck, but I am already using the OBDII port to run my Edge Attitude with Juice CTS! Mike an I messaged eachother back and forth, while Mike came up with a feasible idea of hard wiring another OBDII port into the truck, but with unknown an unforseeable issues! I called Scangauge and talked to a lady that was very helpful, explained to her that I needed the OBDII port to run my edge, but I also wanted to run their ScanGaugeII, after a few minutes on hold, she came back with the info on a site that has a "Y" adapter giving you the option of running…

After 15 years of service my doors and now clunking, rattle, wind noise etc. I've been pretty religious about keeping the hinges lubed up and checking for door sag. Actually, my issue was more so in the rear doors which the lower latch was a bit sloppy. I did a bit adjusting to align the striker pin in the middle of the latch gap and make sure the door made a full cycle in on the latch (both latches). Then you have to re-adjust your main door striker pin the same way middle of the latch notch and enough that you get a full cycle of both latches. This really tightens up the doors a bunch and seem to shut solid now and tight. As for door sag, you can check this…

So I'm finally ordering an egt gauge and looking for some suggestions. What have you guys had success/failures with?

Well gang... I'm back to playing around with OBDII Data again. I'm wanting to move the ScanGauge II to the 1996 Dodge Ram and use my OBDLink LX bluetooth dongle for the 2002 Cummins. The OBDLink LX is basically plug and plug. The Android Software you can get off Google Play. Now as for setup there is a bit configuring. Make sure to fill in the easy stuff like year, make, model. Now the important stuff is the volumetric efficiency, engine displacement (liters) and select intake manifold absolute pressure. You see the 77.5% that is figured from the base line for Cummins ISB is 63% then my old ScanGauge II had a offset of 14.5% so adding together you get 77.5%. …

I still have the Silencer Ring installed and I know a lot of folks run the Silencer Ring MIA. Understanding there really isnt any performance gain why do folks run it MIA? Just purely for the whistle? How loud is it? Any long term impact by running ring MIA?Thanks in advance

I know that this thread has been done to death, but i just came back from a weekend trip and thought i would post up my fuel mileage report.Approx. 300 miles each wayRunning south at 76mph with a pretty stiff head wind i averaged 17.22 miles per gallon at approx. 2200rpmheaded back north at 64mph with no wind to speak of i averaged 22.35 miles per gallon at approx. 1800rpmi am happy with these numbers but they can always improve! the speed is obviously a huge factor on the economy, but i would like to do injectors and larger exhaust in the near future. any thoughts or recommendations are always welcome.i would love to see some of you guys numbers on your rigs so post away…
