  1. Nope, no roll over noise at all no the 2002 or 2006 trucks. Mobil 50 SAE gear lube in the Nv4500 in the 2002 Dodge. ATF+4 fluid in the G56 in the 2006 Dodge.
  2. I've never used Boss before but pretty common on Amazon. Their price is low but I'm not sure about quality. Does cover most of what I'm looking for. https://www.amazon.com/Boss-Audio-Systems-BV9358B-Player/dp/B01FC3SPPG/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=dual+din+car+stereo+bluetooth+android&qid=1626011384&refinements=p_89%3ABOSS+Audio+Systems&rnid=2528832011&s=electronics&sr=1-5
  3. Might work for driving long haul... Still in all does nothing for resolving the music end. I would like to be at a job site leave the door open and listen to tunes while I work instead of packing a portable speaker or headsets to listen to music while I work. The LG tone and talk headset again just not very loud for volume but then they fall off me neck while working. Here what I've used so far. Yeah my last stereo I did in Beast was a bluetooth and FM only stereo. That kind of sucked being you had to keep a large amount of MP3s on the cell phone and no function to play MP3 disc which I've got a lot or play normal Audio CD's which Eileen has a lot of too. Everything I do for supply runs is a minimum of 6 to 7 hours of driving. Like going to Lewiston ID its only 125 miles there but with road construction and traffic it like a 3 hour trip now one way. Then do about 4 hours to 5 hours of shopping and then drive another 3 hours home again. Currently, all I have is Thor (2006 Dodge 3500) to drive but I'm working on getting the the Beast (2002 Dodge 2500) back up and going. Got a few things to fix again.
  4. Thanks I'll take a peek at that too.

  6. 2006 Dodge 3500 - Valair Quiet Dual Disc Towing Clutch 2002 Dodge 2500 - Valair Performance Dual Disc Clutch The design differences is the Quiet clutch does not have a loose free floating center plate. It actually attached to spring metal. The performance clutch does not have this so it louder in my 2002 Dodge versus the 2006 Dodge. The 2002 Dodge has a floating center disc that can rattle and make noises.
  7. Thor (2006 Dodge 3500) has a G56 transmission is a rowing machine. Even with the ATF+4 in the gear box it not loud at all. I just hate to row 4 gears to get to 25 MPH. Pushing 10,000 pounds on the scale. Tends to stall easy launching from 2nd gear on a slight slope. Valair Quiet Towing Dual Disc Clutch. No worse that the Kenworth 4,000 gallon water tender (Cummins Big Cam 400 with a Eaton Fuller 10 speed) that you have to row 7 gears to get to 25 MPH. Still to this day love my NV4500 in Beast (2002 Dodge 2500), row 2 gears I'm at 25 MPH in 4th gear. Launch in 2nd gear and by 4th (1:1) I'm pulling away gaining speed now. This even has the other Valair Performance Dual Disc Clutch. Slight design differences but the same.
  8. Yeah I'm looking for something more like the Kenwood I got for my 2002. That stereo is dual Bluetooth so driver and a passenger can pair there phones at the same time and use the stereo functions together. For me and the amount of road time I have I need a good stereo that is Bluetooth ready. I get way too many phone calls to have to pull over talk, hang up and get rolling again. Most of the time I just ignore the phone calls being there is no where to pull over to answer or the signal will be lost soon like in the next mile or so. I've been using Bluetooth headset (LG tone and talk) for now but volume is too low to hear with all the other noises in the cab. Again I've got to pull over to just hear the conversation. As for dual DIN stereos there is a lot of other brand name that look like China made junk like Boss and others but I'm not willing to dive into another junk stereo again. I would prefer a Android core for the stereo but something that is modern for Android version also should be update-able. What good is it to have a stereo that becomes out of date in a year or so and have to replace because the Android core is out of date?
  9. @Rogan Just a side story I ran into last week. I have a 2002 Ford Mustang that came to me and I replaced 3 power steering pumps in 3 days. The first one I installed was here at the house and the fluid started returning dark. I start to do the flushing of the system must of dumped about 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon through that system. Topped it off and the owner took it home. Got a call later that afternoon that the reservoir was empty and the pump was growling. Ordered pump #2 and installed. This was done at the owners home. Now filled it up and worked all the air out again. Took it for a short driver out of the court he lives in and blew the return line. OK. Return back and installed hose clamps instead of the quickie squeeze clamps. Continued to blow return lines. I started to point fingers at the pressure regulator in the pump for being stuck wide open. Order pump #3 and installed. Again at the owners home no longer blowing the return lines but now know why the fluid is being lost. I was filling and purging air everything seemed fine. Started doing short drives just a bit lower on fluid when I returned. Figured just air. Now take off again but went full lock to back out. When I did it blew huge amount of fluid out as I started to pull away. On return I seen the trail and parked it and started looking and found the rack and pinion boot on the passenger side is torn and fluid dripping out. So this week I start with installing a rack and pinion in a Ford Mustang. How Fun... NOT!
  10. Makes me wanna look at mine closer... I've been able to push the shift tip between the gates in the NV4500 transmission. I've downshifted and had it jam up at least 4 times stuck in 4th gear. The shift forks are different than NV5600 but the wear problem might be the same. Being I've got mine still tore down to the shift tower I can look at it and re-silicone the tower back on too.
  11. Glad to hear! I'm happy you found a solution to this problem.
  12. You could by those online somewhere...
  13. Wore the tip of the shift tower too thin so it slipping between the shift forks.
  14. Most likely a bad sender. Check error codes it might confirm this. Fuel gauge error most likely will not set check engine light.
  15. Change the filter inside the pan. Ive just talked to a friend few days ago that had shift issues and slightly higher trand temps. Changed the internal filter and fluid and problems are gone.
  16. If the alternator is out of spec replace it. Make sure to have the new alternator tested before leaving the store I've had reman'ed alternator score worse than the current failed alternator. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, test your replacement before leaving the store. It not about adding a ground but seperating the alternator charge lead AWAY from the ECM and VP44 ground which in the factory lay out the AC noise just bleeds over to the ground leads heading to the modules. This is why the W-T ground mod works because the alternator charge line is hooked to the passenger battery. Then the grounds for the ECM and VP44 are hooked to the driver side battery and these two wire are no longer near each other. This out right stops the AC noise bleed over.
  17. ECM, PCM and VP44 is the passenger ground terminal there is no body grounds for these three modules. They all use the passenger side battery cable directly so just cleaning the battery terimnals is enough. Scrubing the grounds all over the body is not going to improve the ECM, PCM or VP44 being they do not get ground the a body terminal only the passenger side cable. Hence the W-T ground wire mod... My new ECM and VP44 ground... No longer makes that long run to the passenger battery (4 feet shorter!)
  18. Here we go talking about Thor and all its weird issues. Thor happens to be the Mopar1973Man.Com work truck. I purchased this truck from the bank at the price of $500. What happened was a long time friend brought it to me after 3 years standing in McCall ID. The throwout bearing was damaged. By the time I pulled the transmission and gat a look at the clutch assembly it was all ruined and looking at $1,000 minimum to get it running. The owner left the truck for over 2 months sitting in my shop and I call several times to have him move it. Never came to move. I got a friend to come over and move the truck and then it sat for another 9 months. After this time I had @Jthorcall the bank and work out a deal for storage fees, etc. Ended up buying the truck free and clear from the bank for $500. Now this is not just a cheap truck. After doing quiet dual disc clutch, +50 HP injectors, front wheel bearings, crank sensor, fan clutch, etc. I've dropped nearly 5,000 into this truck now. Still just fixing minor issues. Like one of my next things I wanna fix in the cluster so I can see true RPM's. I've already talked to @AH64IDwhich notified me that the chips on the back of the cluster need to be re-flowed in solder. This should fix this issue. Then I can get down to optimizing the cruising RPM easier. Being the truck is naturally heavy for steel flatbed and the amount of tools carried in the boxes. It not a light truck by no means. Close to 10,000 pounds.
  19. Both. It could flat fail. Again if P0121, P0122, or P0123 then yes it could fail. Resetting the APPS won't do anything to fix the issues. All you doing is setting the upper and lower limits on the ECM. Again if the APPS falls out of range to low or too high volts it can and possible quit working till APPS returns back to normal voltage range. As for resetting it not going to fix a voltage out of range issue. Regardless... NOTE: The dead pedal is a bit of code added to the ECM so if the APPS failed at too high of voltage for some reason you don't have a WOT throttle truck that is out of control. When APPS voltage goes out of range (too high or too low) the ECM is disconnected from the APPS logically and left at a idle state so the truck is not in a runaway condition. So yes its very possible to be left with no throttle control possibly. Error codes and info...
  20. I think I got it fixed with the Pagespeed module. Pictures are present again and working.
  21. This next spring I'm going to be ready for you guys... Fingers crossed.
  22. Wait to start not coming up is a ECM internal issue more so with booting up. P1694 code has to be dealt with before getting forward. Also if the ECM is not booting up in a timely fashion it could also trip the code from the PCM side as the PCM is asking the ECM question and there is dead silence from the ECM. (Not booted!) Remember the companion module is always the ECM. Then the Primary computer is always the PCM which is the main ring leader!
