2nd Generation Dodge Reliability / Performance

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!

Ok so on my 99 cummins there is nothing that says what fluid should be in my p/s pump. Can't find my owners manual. So I looked on here at downloads and they don't give a fluid spec. So next thing was google. Some people are using Lucas or atf +4 or whatever. I have a bottle of plain ol valvoline p/s fluid but is that right? Thanks.

Like the title says Guys and it means I'm unfortunately in the market for a new clutch, put my foot down in 5th today and it slipped. Dont know anyone with my mods like mine so I'm hoping y'all can help me with ballpark guesses on power/torque, so here's the goods, 2002 3500 CTD HO engine fass 95 lift pump BHAF DAP rv275 injectors Newer quadzilla xzt tuner, 75hp always 4" exhaust hx35w w/ wicked wheel DPS 3 piece exhaust manifold

Im in the process of p pumping my 24 valve, and was wondering whats the best way to set the timing on the pump and the mortor?

Replacing my manifold and was curious what you guys think is the best place to run a pyro if you are only using one. I was running a single pre turbo but debating adding a second or relocating my single. I know this horse has beaten a lot but I couldn't seam to find a good thread on it here. Does post only give you a better actual turbo temperature and that's it or are there other benefits to post turbo probes?

I’m looking for a list of items to keep in my truck on long trips and trips into remote backcountry. I can think of a few things off my head but like a detailed list of things that can keep my truck on the road if necessary.

I have a 2001 2500 with roughly 345k, the cummins is well cared for but it requires a few things to address leaks. I'm going to explain what I'm doing and why and then ask for suggestions about other things to do/service before plowing season. This truck hasn't plowed in years but it will this year since the gas truck died once and for all (broken frame). Hydroboost rebuild, it leaks something terrible and I bought an all new seal kit to fix it. I also have a pressure line that seeps and is getting replaced. Front crank seal and sleeve, it leaks, it makes a mess while its running so its getting fixed. Turbocharger replacement. I have a large…

Coming in late June my brother and I will be driving from my home in Kuna ID to Lincoln Nebraska to get my mothers things to her. I will be using the Ram and pulling a 25' coleman camper. I will be followed by her 1994 GMC K1500 pulling a pickup bed trailer. I will be meeting my sister and her husband in there truck where they will take the camper and GMC to Watertown NY where my mother lives. The GMC is just about done, been prepping it so my mother shouldn't have to do anything but change the oil as long as she owns it. I've changed every fluid, filter, fixed all the leaks, replaced the cooling system, shocks, fuel pump and converted all the lights to LED. My tru…

Ok, my Ez is toast so where to go from here? I weigh 11k and hook to trailers on top of that so I need something for pulling, and fuel mileage. I thought about putting my 50hp DDP's back in and leaving it like that but I dont know what I wont to do so here I am What do you think.

HOW DO YOU GUYS FEEL ABOUT PROPANE INJECTION FOR FUEL MILEAGE. I AM CONSIDERING IT FOR FUEL MILEAGE, I CAN GET PROPANE FOR ABOUT $1.50 A GALLON. BESIDE THE RISK OF DRIVING AROUND WITH A BOTTLE BOLTED TO YOUR TRUCK. I KNOW THE PERFORMANCE END IS GREAT BUT IS IT WORTH THE HASSLE IN THE END.

"In this case we found a way to get better fuel mileage and a little more power on some trucks. This pump has ALL the upgrades and improvements that our exact replacement units have." "What we did to achieve this goal was to mix and match parts from other VP44 pumps to advance the timing mechanically and optimize fueling rates for better mileage." "If you are presently or plan on advancing the timing with an electronic plug in device or programmer don’t buy this pump as we are only doing mechanically what those products do electronically. " "The Special X pump is made from all Bosch made parts. It does not have any aftermarket or modified parts in it, so this allows us to…

I'm installing the ARP head studs and I got too curious. I was worried a push rod might get in the way of torquing so I pulled up on the one closest to the bumper. Now, when I put it back in, it won't go down all of the way. Do I need to rotate the engine to get it seated all of the way?

Seem to remember someone mentioning this before. Out of curiosity let's say you have 10 people pushing your truck or you could roll down the hill or you could tow it with a different vehicle, can a manual transmission Cummins be pop started, will everything work as it should, lift pump for example. Mainly talking about the vp44 truck but would like to know any info possible.

So i have everything wired up, gauge, amplifier, probe. The only thing I have left is literally the power and ground. I spliced my power for all my gauges into the dimmer switch, but what have you guys spliced in for power for the actual pyrometer? I ran out of time yesterday and literally I was at the point of "eeny meeny miney mo." Any ideas that is a good 12v key source and not hard to get to?

If the Quadzilla Adrenaline V2 software takes complete control of the vp44, what would happen if I flashed the ecm with my superchips flashpaq programmer and put the quad above level 0? Would anything happen or would the quad still keep it's custom timing and/or fueling? I'm just curious as to what would happen and want to see the difference in timing. It would be neat to have the programmer on level 0 and the quad on anything above that.

Hey, just got a quick question about the quadzilla and emissions testing for anyone that might know, I'm sure it's been covered somewhere but?? Just got a emissions test notice in the mail, I live in the big city of Boise Id. were I guess they need all the extra revenue they can get! (At least it's not Cali. ....yet!) Anyhow, first year with the quad, is there anything special I need to do, or a particular setting to satisfy the test? Set to stock? Does it even matter? Do they even care it's on there? Just some questions I hadn't really considered till now. Thanks!

So I've had my fuel pressure kit for my quad for about a year and a half. Last week the sender died and all it shows is 100 PSI. After contacting the company, the only response I got was essentially 'tough luck'. I really hate to spend another $70 on it, so long story short, has anyone had luck with any other senders?

How do I change the number of gauges on the Quad display? Right now i have 4 gauges showing. Earlier i had more but i dont know how i did it.

I'm having an issue and hope someone can help me understand how the Quad determines what gear the truck is in. I made a vacuum solenoid thing to jack up line pressure when the exhaust brake is on. When the exhaust brake is on it pulls the TV lever back to increase line pressure. Tried it out once. I have since disconnected it but now when i stop with shifter in "D" Quad shows "L". Take off from a stop and Quad shows something like L-3-4-3-1-2-3-4. It felt once like it did a 2nd gear start but only did it 1 time. Now it feels like it is shifting correctly but Quads gear indicator is all over the place. In park, neutral, and reverse Quad shows "L" I checked line pres…

Can you change the name of a custom tune in Quad? I've looked but cant find how to or if i have to delete it and redo the tune under a different name.
