Best Way to Change Brake Fluid
I don't have that bonus at all... My brake res. cap is small and the res. is large with divider inside... That you just can't even drain the other side in the Res. because of the divider inside...

FASS 95
There is either a pump problem or a line restriction. Typically hammer is right and there should be very little drop of pressure. Like myself I know I've got a AD150 but I've only got a 1-2 PSI drop from idle to WOT.Dropping more than 3-4 PSI there is a problem... 8|

were s the best place to turn up my pump and get more smoke
Ahhhh... I did see that truck... :thumbsup As for turning up the smoke that really easy. http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen12v/inc-pump/inc-pump.htm But as what you wife was telling me you trying for the MPG angle. So if you going for the MPG I would look at getting the injection pump timing bumped to 16* BTC and you might look at changing plates at the most... I love those stacks... Huge! But I think you need a single color on the truck... LOL

Stacks Question
Hmmm... One day I'll have to get together with you... I'm really close to you... :thumbsup

Straight Piped Exhaust
For that problem they got what known as a Sneaker Series muffler which happens to be a muffler can with a straight pipe in it... ;)

BHAF Filter Minder.
The filter minder is a sealed unit and doesn't flow any air. :confused: Pre-filter is also a good idea but you need to make sure you rig a stand for your filter so it don't rub holes in it...

dash, cods?,diagnostics,demo?
That's the Cluster testing as show here... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/3rdgen/cluster-test/cluster.htm But your is going to be different for the 3rd gen... But the codes are listed in the Dodge FSM if any were displayed...

Interresting to say... It got a torsion bar suspension... :confused:

Expensive fuel and speed!
On the flat... Stock 265/75 R16 Tires (Cooper STT) 65 MPH - 700-800*F Pyro - 5-8 PSI boost (16-17 MPG) 55 MPH - 550-600*F Pyro - 3-5 PSI Boost (19-20 MPG) Narrow tire 235/85 R16 (Big O AT) 65 MPH - 600-700*F Pyro - 4-6 PSI boost (18-19 MPG) 55 MPH - 450-550*F Pyro - 1.5-3 PSI Boost (20-22 MPG) Size compare... But that my problem there turely isn't any flat ground in Idaho. So I'm either going up or down a hill somewhere. Like running to town (Riggins, ID) is a 1,000 ft fall in 15 miles. Then if I go to McCall its basically 35 miles away and climb 2,400 feet. Then main grade is set at 45 MPH and its a windy SOB. So my daily travel MPG is typically lower 17-19 MPG range. But once I get out of the valley and go long like to Lewiston, ID (150 miles) or Boise ID (180 miles) now I'm kicking up the MPG back into the 21-23 MPG bracket. But since the economy is shot and money is thin I don't get out the valley much. So I've had to re-tune my driving habit to gain for my local by shaving 10 MPH off post speeds here. (65 MPH posted limit on US95) This puts me back to 20-21 MPG. But now I got to carry my ATV with me for a few jobs because just running up a dirt road (16% to 20%) for 5-7 miles will kill the MPG's quick as hell. So it cheaper to unload the ATV and ride it to the jobs or friends places. If the weather ever warms and dries up I ride my GoldWing...

Hmmm... 6BT would fit under the hood without a problem but the front suspension won't hold it up...Magnum XE were only made for 2 years. It was basically a Dodge Cordoba with some fancy enhancements. This car has...318 CID V8 engineOrignally had a 4 barrel carb (Electronic lean burn) converted to 2 barrel holley 2210.Electronic lean burn was converted back to the old school electronic ignition.Automatic trans 904The rest of it completely stock for the most part...

Cool site
That is really neat! It nice to see where we came from in basic function to the the today's modern engine. ;)

gas stablizers
LOL Don't sweat it...I've got a old Dodge magnum XE that been sitting over 10 year with better than a half tank of fuel and it fired up without a problem and I never treated the fuel with any kind of stabilizer. The most you might find out you got to do is take the carb off and clean it up and you good to go. If the tank has room I would drop in a tank of high octane fuel over the top ot boost it back up.

Anyone ever do a tensioner install on a 3.9L Magnum?
Boy that's a killer write up for doing the setup on the timing! :thumbsup :smart

Expensive fuel and speed!
Ah as for the lugging point its roughlt anything lower than 1500 RPM's... That when I see the sudden rise of EGT and boost. Other than that right around 1,500 is the lowest RPM I can climb most highway grades. I've got one hill mark for 45 MPH and requires 4th gear to climb because the RPM range is just way too low. Now like for example white bird grade in whitebird, Idaho its 7% grade that is 7 miles long. I've tested running it at 55, 60 and 65 MPH off course running it at 55 MPH gain me about 2-3 MPG over running it at 65 MPH (6-8 MPG total running grade). Now lets say I've got 21-22 MPG before I start the grade at 65 MPH going over the 7 mile grade I can pull the MPG from 21-22 down to 15-16 by the top! But if I was to slow down to 55 MPH I can hold 17-18 MPG at the top.

BHAF Filter Minder.
Here is the template for the BHAF. Just print it out and tape it together.

what kind of power
Just keep an eye on that pressure and don't let it fall below 10 PSI much... 8|

what kind of power
I was just thinking that too... I don't think the FASS DDRP is going to handle that... :poke

Cab blower stops working?
Hmmm... Vacuum leak under the dash, bad vacuum motor that is leaking or a bad vacuum selector fot the vent controller??? :confused:

what kind of power
Basically doing rough math...Stock 235 HPEdge Comp +120 ------------------355 HP @ the flywheel.Injectors +75 -----------------430 HP @ the flywheel.So roughly ~430 HP at the flywheel. But with you oversized tires your going to loss quite a bit of both HP (to the ground) and MPG's. But if you ditch the 305 tire and get down to a 285 or even 265 tire you would gain back a lot of both HP and MPG's. A a matter of fact I'm down to 235/85 R16 and now starting to see 23-24 MPG on the top side now... My typical daily running I'm gettitng 20-21 MPG. You'll be surprised how much a larger tire robs you of MPG's! :wow

Black Cloud Over my Head
Yeah that the rheostat part how about the the 2 idle validation switches??? Pins 6, 2, 1... On the stock side of the adapter? Idle switch control several different functions... (Exhaust brake, Idle functions, high idle, etc)
