2nd Generation Dodge Reliability / Performance

Looking for experience with water methanol. Done a lot of reading on it but haven't seen anyone do what I'm thinking of doing. (Probably because it's not smart for most people) I would like to try and experiment with running no intercooler and using only water methanol to control temps. Im hoping this will allow for higher inlet temps at low load and a shorter better flowing intake side netting some better mpgs. Im really curious how the quadzilla will play with water methanol. According to my math the intercooler removes 3000btu per min at 30 psi of boost. Water removes 970 btu per lbs methanol a little less but flashes at a lower temp. So I should need about 1400ml wo…

Hi all. I finally got my truck back running. Turbo and Exhaust manifold and a few other odds and ends needed some love and attention. I'm planning to install the Quadzilla in the next couple of days. All the sensors are in so it should go easy. I have a basically stock motor mods are BHAF, FRRP Factory Raptor Replacement Pump, Bosh RV 275 injectors. I will be putting an upgrade turbo S200GX-E in the truck soon and may upgrade my injectors at some point but the the ones in there went in in Feb 2018 and don't have a lot of miles on them so they stay for now. I don't know the first thing about this beautiful piece…

My front end makes a really loud knock through every single bump and vibration it encounters. I remembered my bolt on the shock looking like this when I changed them but had to get it back together and just ignored it. Only the passenger side looked like this, the drivers side was fine. The shock bushing had so much play it could bang each side of the bolt, and it was incredibly loud. So I got some 10.9 hardened bolts that don't have the thread so far up to wear out that should last forever. Went ahead and did both sides. Got some locknuts so I can do away with that big tab thing. I don't know why they did that tab thing when you can get to it with a wrench easily. …

You guys ever seen this? It was a Duralast part, I knew I shoulda gone to Napa but I didnt want to drive across town. Now I have a Napa 1 mi from the house. OEM is a reasonable $135 on Amazon. I backed my timing down 3 units per RPM band except max (that's down 2) from the Extreme Injector Tune in the custom tunes section. Truck was running real smooth, feeling real good. This happened on an on-ramp to the hwy, about 2200 +/-200 rpms, maybe 45mph-ish. Just enjoying that strong midrange torque it lays down. Nothing too crazy. Real shame it happened, though. I put a warranty claim into Mishi, we'll see what they say. Made it home 15 miles w/o spewing…

So I installed the quad today and it wasn't that bad at all. Using the stock tune I turned it up to lvl10 and went for a test drive. The first ten minutes were a BLAST! Extremely smooth. When the wiretap kicks in it definitely threw me back in the seat. Smoke and egts were much better than with the edge ez I removed. On the way home I romped on it one more time and blew an intercooler boot at 45psi. Oh well, it was fun. On a different note, we came back from camping today and had a hell of a trip. Was pulling out 37' fifth wheel with the wife's 4th gen. About an hour and a half from home I had to …

My local Dodge trans expert is telling me that they can make modifications to the 47RE, but there aren't many ways to increase the line pressure a lot... At least, without making it very finicky. He said shift kits really are smoke and mirrors in regards to line pressure, as the computer will regulate things itself. He said you can increase the line flow rate but not significantly increase line pressure. He is looking right at 3200 for a rebuild with billet input, 2500 without billet input and billet single clutch tq converter. His modifications he lists are very much in line with what CajFlynn recommends and what Tim Holt recommends, aside from one thing. …

Hey guys just ordered a fuel boss and big line kit for my 01 and picked up an s03 cheap a while back to turn on hi idle function (not currently using tuning). So now it’s time for gauges. I really wanted to go back to what I knew with my insight setup on my old ford but pricing them out now with the added fuel boost and egt sensors to read accurately it’s near 850. So I’m circling back to 3 pod style. Looking at isspro, what range do y’all run on gauges? The kit has 0-1600 egt 0-40 boost 0-40 fuel Seems like more of 0-1600, 0-60, 0-30 would fit things better? Also is there a pillar that replaces the oem one or doesn’t i…

im gettin ready to clean my fuel strainer and i was wonderin if i take it out will all my fuel come out or just alil bit then stop thanks for info haha i know its a ridicous question

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.

Can someone link me a previous thread or tell me where I can get parts for MoparMan's hybrid turbo or where I can just buy the whole unit? Looking for a good upgrade. Performance upgrades I have are a BHAF, Smarty S03 (again, SORRY ), DAP 7x.009 100hp VCO injectors. Also whats the difference between VCO and SAC? All I was told is to buy VCO for the best mileage between the two and I never really learned or understood the difference. Anything helps as always. Thanks!

Where is the data link connector to hook up my edge comp? I've spent a lot of time looking but no find. Is it a loose connector or is it connected to something and I have to disconnect it? I did find a loose 4 pin connector but it does not match what the comp came with.

Im new to this so forgive me if i mess somethin up.. i have an 02 cummins quadzilla adrenaline v2 tuner, 150hp injectors, fleece cheetah 63mm turbo, and an afe bladerunner gt intercooler.. i need help with a tune.. i want it to pull hard.. im not a burn the tires off kina guy i just like that set you back in the seat pull.. right now it smokes real heavy black all the time and the turbos laggy thank you in advance

Alright I've searched and searched the forums and for the life of me can't figure this out! Where do you actually drain your power steering fluid!!?? I want to do a flush because my fluid is bad/low. I would just do the turkey baster idea for now if I knew for sure it was power steering fluid that was used last but I don't so that's why I want to do the full flush. So whatcha got?! Pics would be great too!

Badass.

I recently purchased a 2001.5 Ram for my wife which still had the OEM lift pump in the stock location. After testing and determining 2 psi of fuel pressure, I replaced the filter which brought the fuel pressure up to 9 psi. Still not good enough in my book so I replaced the OEM lift pump with an Aertex lift pump in the stock location. This brought the fuel pressure up to 16 psi at idle but it could still be pulled down to about 10 psi. I found this to be marjinal and still not good enough. The next step was to relocate the pump. A friend was installing a 60 gallon fuel tank on his Ram 3500 and was generous in offering me the use of his shop to install my Air Dog 150…

Hey guys, was on the computer last night doing some research on possibly getting some RV275's for some better mpg and ran across a thread that has got me thinking. I bought my truck being told it was stock and I've only done to it what's in my sig. My question is how much smoke does a stock cummins make. I know every truck is different but my truck sends a puff of black smoke out everytime it cranks and smokes through every gear. I'm not blacking out the road by any means but it is noticable. How would I check to see if there is a programmer on my truck without having the programmer. Oh and what does everyone think about the RV275's. I've read they are the best ban…

When I first hooked up my mystery switch it worked great. Now it locks the convertor for maybe half a minute then it unlocks and I have to turn the truck off before it will work normally again. Gives me p0723 code which I had before too when it worked normally. p.s. I took the switch and wiring out when the truck went to the tranny shop for the rebuild cuz I didn't want them down my throat for using it. This problem occured after I got the truck back and rewired it.
