Nope haven't seen that...

Hmmm... I did a mod that I feel in love with because of such problems... So I made a set of 4 100w fog llamps that are 2 low beams and 2 high beams.... controlled by 2 relay... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/personal/2002/fog-lights/fog-lights.htm As for my stock head lights they are about worthless... The light path is scattered all over and beam is too wide (I think). There is no defined hot spot on the highway in front of you... As ofr aftermarket lighting I look at several but man you can spend a bunch on light, bulb housings, etc..:$:

Don't try that game with me... I'm a guru of the SG II...I pull simular numbers with cruise set at about 55-65 MPH because all the city streets in Idaho are 25 MPH or less! :rolleyes2:

Be aware of new wrom virus... I post up a post over on my Cloud 10 Computer about this nasty bug... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/showthread.php?p=5494#post5494

Apply caution when you get New Year messages in your mail box! A massive attack of the Storm Worm variant called ‘Zhelatin.pt’ is underway with a rather simpler modus operandi, say Security Experts at Micro World Technologies. It begins with emails arriving with subject line ‘Happy New Year’ or ‘Message for new year’. The mail body has a web address chosen from a random list that contains URLs like newyearcards2008.com, newyearwithlove.com, hohoho2008.com, hellosanta2008.com, happy2008toyou.com and uhavepostcard.com. On these websites, a message is displayed which reads as, “Your download should begin shortly…….. Click here to launch the download and press Run. Enjoy!” Clicking the link, a file named happynewyear2008.exe or happy2008.exe, which carries the worm Zhelatin.pt’, is downloaded into the computer. Once a victim clicks on the downloaded exe, the Worm drops some files and runs certain services to quickly and silently to make the computer a part of a large spam relaying network or Botnet. The first Zhelatin variant appeared in January 2007 which spread with the help of mails with a subject line ‘230 dead as storm batters Europe’ and other socio political events, thereby deriving its popular name - Storm Worm. All mails carried exe attachments with randomly chosen names that invariably lured recipients into downloading them. Users can protect their computers from Storm Worm by resisting the temptation of clicking on season’s greetings or other messages that require them to visit unknown websites and to download files, Manoj says. It is also equally important to keep their Antivirus and Spam Control systems up-to-date, he adds.

Well if it was me I would pull the alternator have it tested on a bench and then have the truck tested for batteries and charging output. Make sure you take your time ding the wire work and the reset... Up and down on the throttle slowly...

With a bit of modifications I've seen 3rd Gens with BHAF... :confused: http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/personal/2002/bhaf/bhaf.htm Mine currently has 109K miles and 5 years and the turbo still clean!

159K miles and still running factory brake pads... No joke! :eek: Exhaust brakes do there job and save the brake pads quite a bit... Even worse I'll do my first brake job at roughly 200K miles and 10 years old! I drag trailers and haul heavy... Every year I haul about 12-15 cords of firewood down from the mountains at a elevation of 7K to 8K feet...

Here is the wiring diagram of the 1st Gen Dodge... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/1stgen/wiring/wiring.htm Then here is the ket trick for reading error codes... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/showthread.php?t=914 Basically you want to turn the ignition on, off, on, off, on in under 5 seconds and the CHECK ENGINE light will come on and start flashing codes...

Nope... It won't... I done this to Taz's truck when I did a tappet cover on the driver sive I hosed it down in 2 can of oven clean with a warm engine and let is sit for about 10minutes and rinse with water. To this day it's spotless... Well other than the new leaks he is creating now...:shocked2:

Wow! Canada... Hows the weather up north?

The quickest for melting that off is over cleaner but remember it will darken bare aluminum and strip old loose paint off a engine quick so don't leave it on for long. There is another product sold only at Costco which is a degreaser to (forgot the name) but it will also do a good job but a bit slow or poor and the thick stuff Most people swaer by simple green...

Yeap that was one of the features to the 24V VP44 pumped engines that the timing was completely dynamic over the VE or P-pumped trucks. But I got to admit the p-pumped truck has less failure with injection pumps and produced more power moded. Back to the OP But as for the chip I would look into a chip that tas the VP44 wire like Edge or Quadzilla... Those will give you more bang for the buck in power but also give you a desent gain in MPG if driven right.

Don't want to step on toes but I'm going to add in on the sensors... IAT its used for grid heater yes... But it also controls timing advancement and such too. Not much on fuel rate but does control it some. The reason for cleaning the IAT more that the MAP is because the carbon residue from the exhaust brake usage will coat the bare leads in the sensor and offset the resistance value since carbon is a natural conductor. MAP sensor really don't gain much from clean other than the reassurance that the oily residue doesn't gum up the sensor over time.

right on I've seen that before but never bothered to click favorites...

Oh don't get me starting on that... The thing is I got everything here to build a music video but we need more pics from the member of the site. As soon as we get the pics we can build a music video for the site... Trust me.. I've been dreamin' of that too...:thumbsup: Ok Gang... We want you guys to start posting up pics of your truck in your photo albums or as attachments here and we would love to get a bunch of pics of you truck in day life. Not the show and shine pics... There to much of that... We want the truely down to earth work look... kind of like... Taz and family... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=92&stc=1&d=1260850564 Mopar's truck... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93&stc=1&d=1260850564 Take notice there is show and shine pics here just truely down to earth work pics... :evil:

:$: <- That the problem right there... My pockets arn't deep!

Depending on temp outside... I normally see roughly 14.3 (hot day) to 14.7 (cold day). Opps... I just relize the fire radio still on in the truck...:rolleyes2: More the voltage run I guess...

Ed... I'm no worse when it comes to that...:shocked: Ummm... I still got my orignal Atari 400 and Atari 800 computers with the Indus GT floppy drive. Then I got bucket loads of games and software. But my prize piece I still got is the Forum software I ran back in California in high school. I ran a little BBS board with a 2400 Baud modem and 3 other floppy drives. Back then hard drive were just starting to come out and were expensive! I guess I never grew out of it being when I moved to Idaho I bought my first real PC computer and got a copy of Wildcat BBs and fired back up again. Then I move over to building web sites. Just never quit...

Ummm... First off the closest good auto part store is 52 miles from me...:eek: (Jerry's Auto in Council, ID - NAPA) The little town of Riggins, ID has a chevron station with a few tidbit but mostly PowerService...

:eek: NO Comment...

Now there is a good product... It actual based on a lubricant from the get go! Just sad that these thing are not sold near me...:rolleyes2:

Ok... I just got back from Taz's place tonight I parked my truck in the shop no block heater and no battery charger and I'll do the voltage check again...:rolleyes2:

Hey Taz... When are you going to man up and buy a bolt for your ACF cover???

Actually all 1998.5 and up have torque management... It basically is controlled by speed of travel. Once you get past 20-30 MPH it released... Wow! Interresting... Well around here we are looking for long life of the truck not broken parts...
