Yeah it would be below the VP44. My bad.

Quadzilla V2 reading inconsistent boost under load on 1999 24V.
Even my Quad shows I can reach 69 PSI of boost but actually I only reach 47 PSI. I don't use the display or mobile device reading. I used my ISSPro EV2 gauges which are dead on.

There is a member that had the tone wheel fall off the crank.

P0237 or P0238 codes mist likely bad map sensor. If you have a Quadzilla you could watch boost signal compared to actual boost.- Random Acceleration
Double check the AC noise too. This can do this on all 98.5 to 2002. Mine did before doing the W-T ground mod.- Weird thing happened today, tripped the 150 breaker
Ok thats my 5 cents I know. Might be diode issues? Consider anything that might increase current draw through the breaker. Bad batteries, bad diodes, etc.- Random dead pedal
If you up north in snow country I suggest AirDog over FASS less freeze up issues. FASS systems tend to freeze quicker because typically filter are hanging in the blowing cold and typically in the damage path of the front tires slinging snow.- Weird thing happened today, tripped the 150 breaker
Grid heater sticking on? Just fixed this for my landlord his truck would pop the 150A breaker.- NV4500 downshift Problem...
No. I'm also using 13" clutch but a dual disc. Valair Dual Disc Organic.- Moose Horns (Towing Mirrors)
I did a short test run with the RV hitched up. OMG! Way better view of the rear of the trailer. Yeah it highly pissed me off when the driver side wiring got up under the bracket and crimp it right in half. I had only a 3/4 stub out of the mirror. I did managed to solder and shrink tube the wiring again. Power mirror get a work out and don't quite go high enough but barely. Moose mode you need all it got to the upper outside edge. Normal mode you need all the up and out again.- Moose Horns (Towing Mirrors)

Power Adjust and heated. No puddle light and no turn signals for $140. Also made a huge error during install. I caught the wires between the door and the mirror on the driver side and crush them in half. Yup I had to repair my brand new mirror on the driver side. I'll write up something...- Moose Horns (Towing Mirrors)
My next upgrade for the truck before I leave for travelling with the RV. I got my set of Moose Horns for the truck.- Not starting
Even living up here in Idaho I've never used PowerService. I only just make sure to run the truck enough to get fresh winterized fuel on board. Now it will not gell up, all the way down to minus temps. Be aware Power Service does not have any lubricants this can be seen by leaving a small sample of PS in a small container that is open. In a few days it will evaporate and leave a gummy residue behind. You can leave 2 cycle exposed forever its still oil. If I was to shut down for this next winter I would load up with winterized diesel and dump a shot of Snowmobile Oil in the tank. This will drop the freeze point down further being most snowmobile oil is -50*F or more. Most winterized diesel is rated to -20*F or so. 2 Cycle oil will keep a oily film on all fuel system parts and makes first startup better. Most all over the fuel additives are just an alcohol base for cetane boosters which will evaporate in time and be lost at starup. Since most all fuel additives that I've studied do not contain any oil or lubricants. Just allow the product to stand in the open air and what is remaining is the oils if any are left... Lube oils will never evaporate, other than that we would be adding oil very often.- Tire balance
The only way they could rust is add water to the tire or leave it parked for long time. A rolling rock will gather no moss.- Tire balance
What I might do with my new Hankook ATm's... I've got two containers full of BB's for an air rifle. I'm going to measure out 4 ounces (using balance beads weight measurements) then dump that amount in each tire and inflate again. The problem I see is the those balance disc cant allow for that wide tire. So the bead balance at a center line of the rotor. This means if needs more weight on the inside bead it can't give it. Where if the balance material is in the tire it can hunt to the exact spot the weight is needed. It was a member name @Cowboy that did the study work on using normal BB's in a tire. Worked great for larger tire or tires with balance problems. I think his article is in the 12V section.- Idles only
Might put a dash of dielectric grease in all connectors. Work the plug at least 3 times before moving on. This works the grease down into the pins and seals them from moisture and dampness.- M73M.Com get together at Mopar1973Man's
@IBMobile with his sense of humor came out. Seriously, I wish the weather was better for both @JAG1 and @IBMobile. We had small windows of no rain. It turn more so into repair than just a fun trip. I was going to take them out to the back country and show off some back roads. With my window issue and @IBMobile with his front wheel bearing getting bad. Even the day they both left @JAG1 was trying to light a camp fire in the rain. He's had enough confinement. Being summer will start up in the next two week with warmer weather and drier. Good ol' Idaho electric rocks. Current bushes don't hold up very well out here winter freeze tend to kill the current bush. But electric rocks work year round. I need to go out in the vast wilderness and find a bigger electric rock so I could upgrade the 15A plug with at least a 30A RV socket.- 2001 Ram Headlights/Brake upgrades
Quality Optics? 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 Clear lens and LED headlights. Lots of scatter and still bright but not quality... This truck bare can light up the lane in front of me. No coverage of the left side at all. Poor coverage of the ditch on the right. High beams barely make vertically about 8 feet up. Narrow beam path. Now the Quality Optics and superb pattern and more lighting... 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 Morimoto D2S and PIAA 530 Driving lights. Morimoto's are only 35w woth of light but cast a window of light vertically over 50 feet tall and over 50 feet wide on the highway. Consistent pattern and even coverage. Even the PIAAs at mere 15w are even brighter than the Morimotos and cast a bright path in heavy snow and rain no issue. The only problem is the dead cold of winter minus temps it will snow over both the HID's and LED's (highlights or driving lights). Only Halogen is strong enough. Oh yeah brakes... Just install a exhaust brake. 412k miles total now doing brake pad changed at 200k miles on the last set of pads. Don't bothe with 3rd Gen rotors and calipers the exhaust brake will pull you down better without any wear on your service brakes.- 2001 Ram Headlights/Brake upgrades
LED headlights NO. I've got those on the 1996 Dodge Ram 1500. PIAA 530 LED Driving lights YES. These are only like 15w total but are actually brighter than my 35w Morimoto HID's. Except for the fly stone that blows out the glass. I've had a set of KC's in the past and only last 9 months first winter a passing truck blew the glass lens out.- 2001 Ram Headlights/Brake upgrades
Still love my switch back LED's, Morimoto HID D2S, and my PIAA LED driving lights. I would shot a new photo but its still raining.- Is It Possible to Save an Engine Thats Been In A Fire?
I would say yes only if you tear down the engine and measure everything. I'm going to say low chance it will fall in spec still but... - Idles fine, sluggish response, no boost, no codes
