2nd Generation Dodge Reliability / Performance

I've searched around and failed to find a thread comparing the two subject injectors (or similar). Both are listed as 100 HP injectors, which interests me a great deal. With an unknown auto transmission (I have done the Moses Ludel recommended in-frame upgrades for solenoids, servos, pistons, etc) and - for now - HY35 turbo I don't see the need to spend the extra $85 for 7x.010s. The true benefit I see to that size is that so many of you fellows with Quadzillas run them. Some of my trips are very long, some if my trips are very short - is there a benefit to smaller, but a larger number of holes? I only have 18k pound license plates, so heavy towing isn't reall…

I'm buying a set of dap new to me injectors local there 7x.012s I have worn out 7x.010s I plan on sending the used 7x.012s in to be repoped then putting them in with new cross overs and o rings I'm pretty excited I'll probably drill the edge filters out tho we will c

Well gang... I got a call from CajFlynn and he's bragging... well his 2001 Dodge Cummins truck just rolled over the 900,000 mile mark and just to prove it I got him to shoot a picture of of the odometer will his cell phone and send it to me... And here is what he hauls everyday... Oh Yeah these pics got added to the video pile! Added - Signature of CajFlynn...

Stock 97 ( original Kalifornia truck), 100 plate, boost elbow (32psi), pusher intake, 4" turbo back exhaust, 4.10 gears, 285/75/16. Long bed 4x4. ATS stage 2 trans. Looking at the Aurora 3000 turbo to replace the stock unit. Looking for a little more power and lowered EGT when towing . I tow a 6x12 trailer with a 1200 # side by side.Thoughts/ experiances/ suggestions ?

Didn't know where to put this. May need to move it somewhere else. I was planning on rebuilding the engine in this 98 12 valve someday. Have tried to sell it, but my wife loves the truck and priced it so high no one was interested. Have a co worker with a 17 year old son who wanted a diesel, so got to talking, they came and looked at it, made an offer, did some negotiating, waved some cash in my wife's face, and they took it home. It needs a lot of work, mainly engine rebuild. Good fixer upper for a kid. Should learn a lot. My grandsons were here for the sale. They are 7 and 8. They spent a lot of time in that old truck from birth to about age 4 or 5. They w…

Just wanted to brag a lil...we have a 98 Dodge Ram 3500 dually that has over 360K on it and still going strong. Hubby has only had to do regular maintenance and some minor repair work on it!!!I was so impressed with his truck that after we got married I got me one and love it!!

99 24 valve starts ok cold (most days). Longer than normal crank time (45-90 seconds) when warm/hot. Sometimes won't start until 2-3 hours. Has no codes. Has new reman vp44 from Thoroughbred diesel & new crank sensor. Cleaned all grounds, installed a clear fuel line to ip to verify no air. Has 20 lb pressure to vp44. I am out of ideas.............PLEASE HELP.

My last thread had to do with a crappy end to crappy month. But today was different. I will let ya'll decide for yourselves. No whining about the dirt or the broken bezel, I already know.

Got to Mobil, they say they are the best. Go to Rotella, they say they are the best. Go to Amsoil, they say they are the best. Go to .... Well, you get the picture. What is THE BEST oil for our trucks? Not just the engine, I'm talking the engine, trans, rears and anything else that has a little puddle of lubricant in it. I have been running Amsoil 15-40 since the new engine, but cringe when it's time to change. - What are the benefits of synthetic vs. dino? - What is the best dino? - What is the best synthetic?

So today was a sucessfull day My cousin bought a new to him ford Diesel and took off the new set of 5' stack kit with 6' miter cut's off. In place of his black single stack kit he had. Then i found out later He also had the diamond plate cover to hide the pipes he meant to give me which i will get tomorrow. Got the whole kit which cost $707 for the kit $279 for the cover for only $250 and got it hooked up and in looks good sound's amazing way better then the old 4' Sinlge out the back or my 4' dual stack kit. Then i bought a pair of "Handy" brand Airgates from a dodge junk yard Valued at $359 a piece for $225 for the pair one was a little bent on one bar and needed some f…

My AC has been working so far this yearbut is getting a bit warmer. It was hitting about 40* out the center vents but has crept up to about 55*. I put gauges on it and static pressure was about 80 psi. Started the motor and the high pressure is about 140 but the low pressure is pretty much pegged and bouncing. The compressor clutch is engaged, ambient temp 85* and center vents at 55*. Low pressre switch? Thought that should shut the compressor down. Expansion/orifice tube maybe?

Every great once in awhile if I stand on the truck pretty hard or just a heavy acceleration, I notice my FP drops at cruise from 16.5psi to about 14.5-15psi. It is the strangest thing because if I turn my truck off and restart it, the FP is back up to normal and doesn't give me any more problems for a couple weeks. Has anyone experienced this before or know what is causing it? Very strange...

Well the process of improving/repairing my 2000 is well on its way. I installed my Frantz filter, Psc steering stabilizer and a luke's link kit on my end link. Wow... what a huge difference in steering feel! I would like to thank Mike again for setting up the deal for the franz filter and also your bracket setup. I basically copied your bracket arrangement except I made mine a litte longer so it goes to the bottom of the battery tray. Now for the ball joints, Kyb monomax shocks on all four corners, install my airdog150 and then finally my edge juice/ w attitude.... Should keep me busy...

Im not very techy but I'm getting ready to upgrade my quadzilla to the v2, does anyone know if I can add more apps to an Android head unit like the Alpine iLX-W650 and use that for everything? I have pillar mounted guages so it wouldn't need to run the quadzilla guages all of the time. Thanks

I'm going to publicly say this. I've gotten a phone call from another member asking all these questions about ground wire mod and having to add the second ground strip from battery to battery this is NOT REQUIRED nor will you gain NOTHING! Just because W-T has a ham transmitter for his truck and draws large amounts of power. If the main cables are in good condition there will be ZERO drop or very little less than 0.2 volts. The existing main ground cables going to the block are more that enough. If you do a voltage drop test of your cables your going to find out if you have weak ground cables or positive cables. Anything over 0.2 volts voltage drop is a fail f…

Doing some interior work to my truck and relocating my FP gauge to on top of the dash. Next to my BD X-monitor sits. Well actually I am going to try my hand and making a fiberglass pod and partially recess it into the dash. Since I am doing this, I like to plan ahead. So I will have the bd x monitor(boost,egt, tranny temp), and my FP gauge for additionals thinknig a 2nd boost gauge(for the twins later on), to read between the turbo stages, a dual airtemp gauge before and after the intercooler, and a diff temp gauge. After some searching thinking about putting a scangauge in there. instead but what other "non required" gauges do you guys run. Might try to go fo…

So, I need a little help dialing this tune in, got new upgrades so now she needs to be fine tuned again. My mods are head studs, 100 hp injectors, 62/65/12 turbo, AFE intake, 4" turbo back exhaust, airdog 2 4g 200 gph ( paid like $100 for it so couldn't turn it down haha), 3rd gen stockers on 275/70r18s, and it's got a 3.55 rear gear. I'm getting a bucking/hopping feeling at cruise state and I've tried to tune it out but cannot for the life of me figure it out, any input is more than welcome.alsoi uploaded my current tune

I'm need some help. Im wanting to connect my adrenaline v2 box to my computer for the fitst time. Can any give me pointers? Is there a how to video any that one has?
