That is dangerous... LOL Personally I would love to see the strengths of the old school hemi but with the snap of the new school electronics and you would have a really wicked ride. Something about the old school design was just stronger took more crap before breaking down compared to the newer hemi's. But stuff that in a Sheby OMG! >

Hmmm... I'm not sure but I'm going to be heading towards my supplier for oil soon I'll find out and post up what I find... But I'm still sitting on a 5 gallon bucket of oil yet... As for Synthetics I don't doubt that they work as good as they claim but something that is not being said. Things like transmission, transfer case, axle and such that DON'T have filters you must consider you choice wisely. Regardless of what you use petroluem base or synthetics as soon as there is debris/contaminates in the lubricant it MUST be replaced. Like myself I play in water, mud, deep snow, etc I've got water in the diff's a few times now. Not a lot of water but enough to give it a mild milky color. Like in my transmission I've got a NV4500 5 speed with the factory synthetic in it. The book says it good till 100K miles according to Dodge but i'm lucky to get 60K before its turning black. Yes its a synthetic and yes it does break down over time but it not indestructable... Like the first change on my transmission was nealr black like engine at 65K miles. The new fluid was clear like water. Engine oil I'm using... The transmission I'm using...

Shoot... I'm normally passing my WalMart jug to the guy on the other pump asking if he wants some... LOL As for me I just pour it from my gallon jug into my quart oil container and add to the tank right there at the pump I don't hide it. Never been asked or anything. But up here in Idaho I've seen guys pulling out Wesson Oil guy and pouring WVO in the tank... :confused: But the difference if I pull out a jug of PS or a gallon jug of Mineral spirits/Xylene/Naptha??? There the same... Just the label is different... LOL

Wow... That's scary... :wow 8| I still just look at Bosch testing back in 2002 with LSD and the failure rate... That says it all and why the VP44 fail so quickly even then... I don't think there testing fuel being delievered to the local station very offen if at all... Could you drop a link to that???

Relay shouldn't be hot at all... The power should be off when the key is off. VP44 shouldn't be energized after the key is off... The ECM controls the Fuel Pump realy directly. A gamble is to check the ASD (Automatic Shut Down) relay to see if its sticking too... I hate to say the has failed but there is a issue there and the ECM is not shutting down with the key for some reason... 8|

I'm starting to ask the local fuel stations if they are getting winterized or summer fuel... Found some stations are summer fuel already while others are not. As for the 2 cycle oil I've been down to as low as 100:1 mix rate but beyond that you start to see degrade in power / MPG's.From what I know the lubricant package is suppose to be added to the fuel at the time of filling the delievery truck. :confused: Railroads??? We don't have any railroad here anymore... `

Dang... I wish... I'm in the 40-50*F bracket now and it raining here in Idaho. With the winter fronts it would push the IAT temps up to about 100*F and gain me about 1-2 MPG but my EGt here in the canyon were about 600-900*F. But now that I pulled the winter fronts my EGT are now down to 500-600*F and IAT dropped to 80*F... Now the MPG's slid down the 1-2 points and back to the lower numbers... Can't win for losing... LOL

Wow what a mess... Now as for the grid heaters I'm starting to see several failures of the relay that control the grid heaters. They will stick and stay on. I would check and see if the relay is actually stuck or is the ECM sending power to the relay needlessly. As for the P1689 that could be from the lack of voltage during the time the grid heater were sticking or because the fuel pump relay is got weak contaacts. trade the fuel pump realy in the PDC with something else or just replace it. Is the fuel pump still running with the key out? I've heard of a simular thing it happen to be the ABS brake pump on the drivers fender that was running... But double check to see... :confused:

Here is the listing... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/personal/2002/bhaf/bhaf.htm (Bottom of the page)

Hmmmm... Interresting though... I might have to try that...

Not enough grease around here... As for the methanol a suggestion is to check your local race shops...

Hmmm... He's a member here goes by the nickname Taz...But I'll ask him... :confused:

Just uploaded the video to Youtube for ya...[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3CUFLqTy-Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3CUFLqTy-Y[/ame]

Who me??? LOL Stock should be 3" from the turbo to the resinator and then 4" to the muffler then 3" out to the tail pipe... Yeap its 4" pipe between the muffler and resinator of all wierd things... So if you wanting straight pipe it just measure out a chunk of 3" pipe and put it in... I done 3 trucks now... 8|

The way I set my low beams... The low beam pattern should never shine on highway signs or reflectors. It should hold to its lane. I've got a short video I did with my fog lamps but it really hard to tell how far the beam pattern goes till it hits signsa and such... I could compile it for you... :confused:

5 Inch pipe is going to be over kill... 8| Go Straight you'll never go back... LOL

Hmm for page loading problems... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/personal/2002/muffler-delete/muffler-delete.htm try using IE browser on my site... As for loud it only loud when you got your foot on the carpet. As for keeping it quiet you could go with a glass pack which exact like the resinator but the stock rtesinator is 3" on one end and 4" on the other... :mad

Those are my driving lights... LOL

I've got a short video I could put together but the camera cant see the lights as good... But I've got a good 1/4 to 1/3 mile light path but its just as wide as a 2 lane highway plus another 50 feet over (in the ditch on both sides). Deer getters... :smart But down low seem to work really well...

Yeah right... LOL LOL LOL

Firts there has to be some trash in the tank to clean out...I've been running solely petroluem diesel now for the life of my truck and never had any trash in my tank or fuel lines..

Ummmm... 4 - 100W bulbs across the front... 2 - 100W bulbs in the rear... :rolleyes Strange enough... Been running them for over 5 years now and NEVER been high beamed nor has a police officer said a thing about them... So I must of done something right... ;)

I can't even compare at 141K miles... LOL

Try here talk to Timbo... :thumbsup http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/apps/apps-replacement.html

That looks viable for kit... Just looking at the documents it look like it not to bad... http://www.piratejack.net/Download-docu ... tions.html
