2nd Generation Dodge Reliability / Performance

Ok, The 2002 I have has 140hp injectors in it. The thing can smoke like a train fired on wet leaves until the turbo spools if I have the sub levels on the Comp over 2. It has good power and adequate fueling at higher RPM as well, and can overload the turbo if I am not careful. Overall the truck has more than enough power, I don't need more. I've lit up the new 285 BFGs on dry pavement while rolling before, much to the wife's dismay. :lmao:What I do want, is to keep the timing of the Comp at 5, while reducing a bit of fuel at higher RPM and a fair amount less at lower RPM. Ideally, I would change to smaller injectors, but since I have a smarty and edge, why not do it …

Hello, I have a 02 Ram 2500 with the cummins H.O. 6 speed RWD. I have done the BHAF mod, free flowing 4" exhaust with glasspack, and I just got a superchips max microtuner (got it for a steal). Would my truck be a good candidate for a boost fooler? From what I have seen and researched this would be a good next modification for my truck. Just wondering if this would be safe and effective? I have heard this would gain 10-50 hp depending on mods so I'm huessing mine would be in the 10-15hp range but maybe up to 40-50lbs-tq. Any advice?

My truck is pretty much stock, I use it for towing my 18 foot landscape trailer 98% of the time, i wanna boost the hp alittle to help it pull up the hills. I don't want to start changing injectors and all that stuff, I just want a quick boost in power and call it a day. My truck has the small Hy35 turbo on it, I was considering either swapping the bigger Hx35 OR slap a small tuner on there, which one would be a better option?? will i see any real noticible gains from the bigger turbo for towing or would a small tuner be a better option????

I am going to install a fuel psi gauge. I have a banjo/snubber bolt that goes in to the vp. I will hook my steel braided line to that and to the gauge. No isolator. How does this sound for a set- up?Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2

I stepped up from 31" to 35"tires,should I install a programmer to compensate?

I am looking to put a after market filter set up on my truck and would like to get rid of the factory set up. If anyone has pictures that they could post that would be helpful. I have been looking at two different setups. http://www.glacierdieselpower.com/product.aspx?pf_id=MK109852-BLKH http://www.vulcanperformance.com/VP-MAX-Dual-Remote-Filter-Kit-p/drff.htm

Well after some trial and error, i looked around at some other forums and someone suggested unplugging the map but leave harness plugged into comp. I should have seen smoke and more power. Well it ran the same like i had not done anything. so i toggled through the scangauge, and it showed 22 psi boost, and if i toggled to map, showed 22 also, seems i may have a permanately defueled computer or something. It runs good and no codes but my comp feels like my EZ. Any suggestions welcome.

Hey guys just taking a poll of sorts on time it takes to install injectors.Some guys have stated 60 minutes. And go.....

[TABLE=class: page, width: 100%, align: center] [TR] [TD][TABLE=class: tborder, width: 100%, align: center] [TR] [TD=class: alt1, bgcolor: #F5F5FF]I thought I would throw out my experience with the setup and the company. I ordered an Assassin Pump from DTT several months ago and I knew it would take me a little while to receive as DTT informed me of a few changes taking place with the pump. All the same I was extremely anxious to get my hands on the pump. Being a common logic/mechanical thinker I felt the mechanical pump would be a great addition to my system for its simplicity and performance capabilities. I received my pump and I was immediately impre…

ok just got done installing a set from dap also adjusted the valves to a tight 10 and 20 and changed my oil and filter amsoil by the way truck feels real nice as far as the install went i got a lot of help from the forum and it really helped me out. the videos and all were great everything went very smooth the only other advise i would give anyone doing this job is to remove the hood latch man my belly is killing me with all that climbing up on top of that latch to reach the back of this giant motor:smart:

I was just curious if anyone is running a non gated turbo? Does not have to be an HX35, I just happen to have a non gated with a 14cm exhaust housing. I cant decide if I want to swap the 14cm onto my gated or just throw on the non gated turbo and give it a whirl. I know running a non gated housing requires more attention to the boost gauge and skinny pedal control. I however do not have much done to my truck and doubt it would get to its upper limit anyway. As usual, thanks to all for reading and replying.

So I had seen where a member had in his sig VP Blower and Heat-sink. Does this work? I know the hardest on a vp is after shut down when the fuel stops moving and the heat of the motor hits it. Just looking at ways to save the vp.

Hey gang - sharing info Someone PLEASE make one of these and put it on their truck and if it runs well make me one !!!!! Theoretically this is a $50 fab job and could be awesome for EGT and spoolup ..... theoretically http://www.pusherintakes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=24vs2gCA common - who's putting their handup

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…

i got pro comp ultra lite gauges boost and EGT. the boost likes to flicker a lot when boost numbers are higher and the egt works fine for a while then it starts to flicker all over and sometimes quit. I had the same problem with the last pro comp ultra lite gauges I had. Bought these bran new like 6 months ago really starting to tick me off auto meter suppost to be good stuff I had better luck with my glow shift. So im wondering am I the only one or is this just a crappy gauge selection. The EGT worked flawless for first month. Boost always been all over.

So I've been reading about swapping over to the later 2nd gen "01-02" fuel canister/filter. I am curious just how much better the later model canister flows compared to the original? Will the current filter set up that is on the truck keep my fuel pump from adequately fueling the injection pump? Thanks.

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. …

Never took a truck this heavy before Most people are running 20psi all around I was going to do 25 front and 20 back. Here's a pic . Most people drive around town like this too and only re inflate when they leave after a week .., Thoughts ?
