2nd Generation Dodge Reliability / Performance

I got a raptor 150 showin up any day now, AFE blade runner on order, and am planning to go with an hx40 and 150 horse injectors. Was wondering what u guys thot of th combo together with my juice and what my estimated power cud be. Someday I hope to crack 650hp:tongue:

Looking at a new manifold. It's between the pdi or dps. Pdi seems to be way good. Dps haven't heard to much from them what I have it's been good. About a $300 difference. I don't care for bd or ats or afe. Steed speed is another I found but they just seem like they offer a good warranty that's it.

Hey Guys, as you know I'm one of a few guys running a modified truck around here with larger injectors popped to 322BAR. So far the truck is running 100HP injectors a Dynamic Valve Body, and a Smarty. Current Smarty Settings are SW#7 TM3, T3,D4. The truck runs fairly well, and there is no smoke unless you really try. Even so its a light haze when passing. Ive played with the Timing and TM settings, and can say both have caused stalling issues at varying temperatures. However the stalling is alleviated significantly when you put the truck into Reverse for 30 seconds, then drop it into gear. I have over 2,000 miles now under my belt with these injec…

What’s would cause poor low end performance truck needs quarter throttle to start no smoke or cutting out truck has #0 fuel plate could it be the ofv

Good afternoon everyone, forum newbie here. Looking for help with an issue on my 2001 5.9 Automatic. I've owned this truck for a couple of years now and had various issues fixed. But one that I can not get fixed is a complete lack of power towing. I have a 27ft 5th wheel thats only ~8000 Lbs. The truck alone with me and my passengers / family weighs 7980. So, I'm just around 16,000. Going down the highway, especially starting up any grades I rapidly loose speed. I've towed as long as I have been driving with other rigs and know that when you loose momentum its likely not coming back. But to the point... Even on flat ground or a 1% grade, around 65MPH, my choic…

So having owned my ‘99 for a little over two months and towing my tractor a few times I think I have decided to see if I can upgrade some things to get some more power. I am as I think that would satisfy my needs. Looking at 7X.009 SAC injectors, a turbo, gauges, and a tuner of some kind to manage smoke and heat. Need some recommendations on a turbo and tuner. Thinking about this Turbo as a direct replacement. For the tuner: either an Edge Comp or the Quadzilla Iquad. Really don’t have the experience to create my own tunes and need more knowledge of diesel theory to be able to get the most out of a tuner so leaning towards somethin…

There’s a dragon fire vp44 for sale on the marketplace if anyone is interested get with me and I’ll get you the link

I add a can of Wix coolant supplement when I change coolant. But I've been told I should monitor the coolant ph level with test strips. Is this something that you guys do? Thing that makes me concerned is the bottom disc in my high dollar cummins thermostat fell off and was just sitting in the hole below the thermostat. Corrosion cause this failure? Was only in for a year or so.

So i have a 99 automatic 4x4. As far as the up grades on the truck i have Edge juice with Attiude, 150 Air Dog Fuel Pump, 100HP DDP, ATS Stage 3 Tranny, SB Intake, Bigger Intercooler, 4" MBRP cutback exhaust, ATS exhaust housing I just replace the Stock turbo with Phatshft 64 compressor wheel, and 14mm exhaust housing. Now with this new turbo I've seem to have lost power compared to the old stock turbo. Granted the EGTS don't run up as high. I could power brake with the stock turbo and the power was awesome, but would get up high (1300EGT) so i would let off. But when i power brake and spool up the phatshaft the EGT highest was about 1175 which i was happy with. But when …

Checked the Mileage when I topped off this afternoon, and found that I got 13 MPG. Now granted it's winter, and the truck idles more, this is still pretty crappy. The particulars are as follows: 1998.5 3500 24v, edge EZ box, DAP 100hp VCO sticks, New OE size tires (215 85 r16) 400,000 Miles 5 spd trans. I'm planning on jumping on the quadzilla train this spring, but does anyone have an idea why my mileage sucks so bad? Mark

Just want to say thanks in advance. This is my first post on here but have been a member for a while now. But I’m looking for some help and I have not tried searching all that much as my setup is different than most. For some reason I can’t get any better than 13mpg out of my truck. Truck info is in my sig. I am running 35x12.50 Toyo Mts on 20x10 Fuels. It has 3.55 gearing too. I am running the dd tune that’s for trucks with 50-150hp injectors but I have changed a couple things on it. Idk if it’s just the way things are setup but I hardly have any turbo lag and my truck runs good and hard but like I said I can’t for the life of me squeeze out any more than 13mpg. The truc…

This happened the other day to the screen, I tried to reflash but it won’t even connect anymore (updated it in the past) So... my question is could I Go a head and update the adrenaline to v2 and it still work (in stock mode I presume) until the iquad adapter comes in? https://imgshare.io/image/GREnc

I am new to the forum and joined due to Mopar1973man presence in many other forums. With that being said I hope I am posting this in the right place. I have a 2001 4x4 quad cab short bed auto that I purchased about 2 years ago with 86k on the clock and appeared completely stock with 3.54 gearing. It now has 114k on the clock with an Airdog 100 with .5" fuel lines running 16 psi idle and I have not seen it drop below 14 psi with throttle and also has a K&N CAI. The VP looks to have been replaced sometime before I purchased as it has a reman sticker on it. The issue I am having is low performance. The truck idles great with no smoke. When driving it seems the engin…

Looked up and it's a water temperature sensor code. Popped the hood and the red wire on the high idle connection at the thermostat broke off at the connector. Don't worry, it's an old unit from Yankneck. I unplugged it and plugged the original connection back and the check gauges light is out, but the code won't clear. Maybe need to disconnect at the back of the head too...the one I can't reach myself. Need a gal or a guy with feminine hands.

Cranked the truck up this morning. Started fine like always. Half way between home and the shop I noticed my fuel gauge showed 0. I got to the shop shut the truck off and bumped the starter and didn't hear my lift pump running. This evening I'm gonna get a mechanical test gauge to see I its the gauge but if it ain't how do I test the pump. The gauge is a isspro ev2 0-30 electric gauge. I'm thinking its my sender but don't know.

I just got my hands on the latest and greatest fuel pump. I will post up on here when I get the install done. I dont want ed and mike to be the only ones who get to tease.

So I have an issue and I'm hoping it's not my injection pump. I've check all my fuel lines for leaks and everything is working as it should, no air all the way from the tank to the return line off the side of the vp44. Truck will not crank. Went to bleed lines 1 through 5 at the head and only getting fuel to lines 1 and 4.

does the MAP sensor on my truck read psia or psig? The TST box at altitude where I live and work 5400-6000 feet doesnt start fueling at 2-3 psi like it does at sea level, it's more like 6-7, which leads me to think it reads psia. If so, I'd like to wire a dial potentiometer or even a 3-4 position switch with different resistors corresponding to the voltage I'd like to see going into the map sensor reading of the TST depending on whether I'm at my parents house close to sea level, in denver at 5300ft or up in the mountains at varying higher altitudes. I'm just not sure what resistors to get... or what range I'm looking for. - - - Updated - - - I think I may…
