HX40 from what I understand has a weaker shaft that why most don't use the HX40 outright. This why the HX35/40 Hybrid came to be. The compressor is the HX40 but the turbine is the HX35 shaft which is stronger. Just takes a few turbo barks and the Hx40 shaft will break.

Sorry... Just not there. I've done new headlight buckets on the 1996 Dodge and went to Silverstar Halogens and then are pretty wimpy for a new set of headlights. I really do want something brighter for the 1996 Dodge but the only option is jumping to HID headlights but they are not cheap. I've even tried the retrofit HID bulbs and they suck big time. I already know LED headlights suck too. Either fresh headlight buckets with halogens bulbs or fresh headlight buckets with true HID bulbs and lens.

Yeah, I would suggest the twins. I'm borderline with my setup but 175 HP injectors I would suggest the twins.

Mine is the extra +50 degrees high vs my ISSPro gauge. That why I always add the note -50F for EGT's and +1 MPH.

So what do you have done to your truck? You might fill out your signature and/or your garage so we all know what you've done modification wise. I currently tow an 8k RV trailer with no issues on a single HX35/40 hybrid and 150 HP injectors. https://mopar1973man.com/garage/vehicle/103-2000-jayco-eagle-296-fbs/ https://mopar1973man.com/garage/vehicle/101-2002-dodge-ram-2500/?show=mods

Better consider ARP head studs too. Being most will end up beyond what stock head bolts will hold comfortably.

LED lights are pretty darn bright. The front marker light with switchback bulbs they light up to about 20 feet but could possibly reach more but the light is pretty scattered after that. I love the thought, Opps, I left my lights on for hours. No biggy truck still starts every time. Between what I've done so far in the cab and the taillights and markers it draws much less power. There has to be a mild saving there not having to twist the alternator as hard to power everything.

Man that sucks... Now you got the arm issues, the wrecked SUV and your truck out of action. Take a deep breathe and work your way through it.

True it would as long as it was calibrated.

Would they work on a Dodge fan clutch? It looks like all industrial applications.

Right on. Exactly done right.

225°F is the far end of the normal zone. As for the mechanical fan clutch nor you have zero control. As for the 3rd Gens and up with electric clutch fans. I think you can program the fan using a Smarty Touch I think. @AH64ID would know that answer.

Since this thread is growing pretty good I'm going to move this to the Gov't Forum.

Oh yeah... Right...

I would love to have those pictures of @dripley in those places!

The last person I know that had axle gears swapped out from 3.55 to 4.10 it's rather expensive. Local gent in McCall ID did his for a sum total of $4,000 for both front and rear axles. This was fresh and brand new gears, bearings, and pinion seal. He's running 4.10 gears now with 37" tires and loves how his truck runs now.

Yup. That is the right action to take. I know the guys at Quadzilla will make it right. Most likely ask for the wiring and the module both to be returned just to be sure there are no electrical problems. Like, in the beginning, I had a bad harness and I had the option of fixing it myself or send it back for a new harness. I call Quadzilla and they confirmed what I found and yes I opted to fix it myself. Worked great. Call them up and talk to Quadzilla I'm sure they will fix you up right.

Like locally everyone wants everyone to buy locally. That's fine but when local prices are out of control. Example a metric set of Crows Feet. They want $50 bucks for a simple set of crows feet. Then check Harbor Freight... (Mostly China made stuff). It's $11 dollars for the Crows Feet set. I still bought the set locally and paid the high price but I should have just waited till I went back down to Ontario, OR and got the set for cheaper. Comparing prices between the two local set was 555% higher than Harbor Freight. What sucks I've never owned a set of Crows Feet for all these years and only needed them for this one job. So was the investment of the $50 buck for a one time use a wise investment? Most likely not would be better to buy China made Harbor Freight. @KATOOM you do have a point. I've got no problem with buying American Made stuff as long as the price is competitive not like what I was dealing with and paying 555% mark up for a locally supplied tool. That complete BS and unfair. Now if the selection was the USA made Crows feet for $20 buck and the Harbor Freight is $11 I would have jumped for the USA made for the $20 for sure. Just being made in America doesn't make it right to mark up 555% for the same product. Kind of like Dodge, Ford and Chevy truck prices are now gone out of sight. Then Toyota, Kia, etc are cheaper priced.

Kind of like Moog Ball Joints, Assassin Mechanical Fuel Pumps, and Smarty Tuners are all China made. Just a few off the top of my head.

That's the man I want to meet next. I've spent so much time on the phone helping out and listening to his troubles that I'm super curious to meet this man.

I have as well. Darting back and forth in the lanes couldn't hold it straight and completely failed in Downtown Boise. Lot of metal grind noise which was loud enough to hear in the cab with the windows up. Again another common failure for excessive use of the service brakes. The brake fluid gets hot and cakes up to the pistons in the caliper till pistons start to hang up. Which in turn creates the problem, even more, being the piston will not fully release the brake pads. You can prevent this failure with 30k miles brake fluid changes and limiting the use of the service brakes and lean more on the exhaust brake.

Yeah, who did you call? Seriously, this why I want to get the 911 area going again. There is so many member scattered around the US and Canada there is no reason why we could be able to lean on the membership pool here for support or times of need. 5,5xx plus members. Member Map 911 listing

I hear ya. Just like the VW vehicle over there in the EU are illegal to be sold here in the US. You guy have vehicle with way better MPG's that US has. There was a thread here on M73M where guy went to the EU for vacation and wanted to buy the vehilce he was driving over there in the US but it can't be sold or brought to the US because its too efficient. Being all US highways are based from fuel taxes and overly efficient vehicles would hurt the highway tax dollars. China has the worst emissions and air quality in the world. I've done some study on that and very shocking to see all the different device people wear to just breathe clean filtered air because of all the manufacturing and cheap goods. USA is so crazy about making vehicle less efficient. Go figure...
