2nd Generation Dodge Reliability / Performance

I'm just thinking how ironic we go to all the trouble of building Cold Air Intakes... and then plug the engines in in winter! I'm thinking that maybe the warm under hood air might be better for the engine in cold weather. (Faster warm up, less rich cold time.) I want to build a new grill block out instead of the bad idea cardboard I used to use. Russ

Can the quadzilla tuning on a v2 fall out of the ECM if the truck sits for a long time, battery cables got disconnected possibly, and the tablet that the tunes are on hasn't been fired up? My trucks been at a shop and I'm trying to see if the tunes may have fallen out of the ECM.

So I posted back in December that I was having trouble with mileage in my 01 3500, and 6 months later I still am. Engine load at 65-70 usually hangs out at around 32-35 if the ground is flat, and the way my tune is set up (just like what is recommended and also based off tunes you guys have made) I'll cruise at about 15* of timing. I've checked everything for drag and still have found not brakes dragging or anything. Bout the only thing maybe out of line, would be at idle after it's warm it'll stumble a bit, but it still maintains the 6-9% load, I even saw it at 12% with the AC on. So anyways, would I do any damage by setting my load limit higher to maintain t…

Is there a system or composite of components that I can cut and install onto my stock 3" piping and using clamps rather than welding? More noise is acceptable, but cab drone at hiway speeds not too obnoxious.

Responding to notification about being "inactive" member... I read more than I post, since y'all know more than I do. But, just to say something for the sake of saying it: my "new" truck turned 20 years old on Tuesday, 05/12/15. It has 569,750 (about) miles on it. Just put another water pump on - O'Reilly autoparts keeps replacing them when they wear out. I bought the first one from them in 2003 to replace the OEM one. The new pump lasted until 2010, went out near enough home to let it cool and limp back. This one went out on the way home from work and needed a tow. So OEM 8 years, then 7 and 5. I think I will buy and install a new one in 2019 (G-d willing) …

Look at this neat video that I ran across!!! I wonder what it takes to complete this swap??? Sorry I'm not sure where this is suppose to be posted but it is neat!!!

View Advert 2001 Quadzilla XZT+ Has the standard tunes on it right now. Purchased this spring (2019) to replace my Van Aaken box that had a failure in the harness. Found a replacement harness and no longer have a need for this box. Was installed in the cab under the dash so it’s never gotten wet or full of dirt, harness has no rub spots or any other damage on it. Three option selector switch is with it as well as all the documentation. Make me a reasonable offer. Willing to drive it down to Utah to have a different tune package put on it if you want as well. Thanks! Advertiser TJH …

Hi all,a while back I did the overdrive hunt fix & it's been doing fine for the most part. I had the trans gone through by the old-time trans specialist & it's fine but if I let it set for a few days or so I get the hunt back until it's hot. So I'm thinking I need to clean up my grounds.Anyone dune the job & have a list, pix would be even better!:thumb1:Thanks,Dave

So assuming that I have been too lazy to do anything about the dripy bottle thing hanging on the front of the engine, how to clean that mess up?Yes from the moment I bought the truck I have been thinking about doing something about that crap collection device. Well now I think its time has come. I have seen many posts on vent mods and ways to fix the messy goo maker, but none have addressed how to properly clean it once it is greased. Any Ideas?

Are there any concerns in regards to cleaning the engine with aerosol cleaner and high pressure water? Areas to avoid for fear of causing more problems than leaving it dirty?

I have been getting diesel from my coop and noticed the fuel is clear. What is this? Being in the south I have no experience with winter fuel, is this winter fuel or cheap crap fuel.

I sprung a good leak in the hydro boost recently and going to do rebuild next week. Figured to redo the the brake and clutch pedal while I am at it since the clutch pedal is starting to squeak some. Anyone know where I can buy them?

So I am getting tired of going to the local parts stores to get codes read and reset on my vehicles. What code reader do you use? I have read a little about needing a DRBIII(R) scan tool, OBD II scan tool??? What do I need for my truck? Want to ensure what I get will work for all vehicles that I have.
