I personally think there is way too much hype on spec for transmission lubricants being that Dodge Dealer's dropped the original Castrol and Texaco fluids for both transmissions and then changed over to ATF +4. Even the G56 in the 3rd gens stated at ATF +4 fluid as well even though most find out that it spec'ed for GL-4 fluid as well. Even back not long ago the GetRag 360 was 10w-30 engine oil in the 1st gen trucks.

You not locked to name brands either. You can use 50 SAE transmission fluid which I've been running now for the last 120k miles. Same stuff used in big Eaton Fuller transmissions.

Diesel Auto Power (Jacob Kidd) bought the Quadzilla Power Company. The abilities of timing and fuel management. Compared to Smarty or TST you have a much better range of timing and fuel control to the point that most of us have smoke free tunes that make serious power.

Hence why the thread was started... I'll give you this one. I started digging the syncros are different. But I'm not sure what they are made of yet. Still digging.

I would be thrilled to death to be like most people. At least most people get paid for the 40 hours a week. I get ZERO. Nothing for my 40 hours and attempt to survive on mere 8k a year. There is a huge difference. I've got no problem working 60 or 80 hours. Been there done that. To work and not get paid is horrid. I would love like hell to go back to working 40 hours a week and having a paycheck. I figure somewhere down the line there is a balance the Good Lord will provide. I've got to take care of MoparMom she is the only family I've got left and she took care of me for all those years its only right to take care of her in the time of need. I even took care of my Dad when he died of cancer back in 2004. Then toss in my medical and her medical this is getting rather tough. Like I'm hoping today I can get a project done on a 2010 Ram truck and get it running for the owner since a local gent managed to delete it and leave the truck in a state of non-running. Nickle and dime my way...

Yeah... That's the problem you need distance from your last snubber to allow the remaining pulses to fade out.

Might check your local Dodge dealer. As of lately, they are loading both NV4500 and NV5600 transmission with ATF+4 now. Must not be very different.

NAPA heavy duty flasher. That's it.

Maybe you should tell those pup's out there rolling massive coal down the highway. They are not legal tunes when crap like that happening. Anything that produces tunes that produce excessive smoke is illegal. Yes anything that modifies the fuel and creates smoke is illegal. Even changing out for larger injectors.

I got Eric at Vulcan Performance to make it for me. Its just a piece of angle iron with 2 holes that are tight fitting to the double female NPT fittings. Eric lightly tack welded the fitting and just screwed it to the fender.

Heck if I was to heed every single law might as well just close up shop and not do anything. Just the fact of this website and promoting high power diesels and tuning is illegal in all states. Any form of altering the ECM software is illegal. What we are doing is a federal offense for modifying the stock tune on the ECM. Do we still do illegal tuning? Of course. Just changing to BHAF is illegal. Heck lets just bring out the fact that I'm smoking herb too. That illegal in the state of Idaho. Doing it for medical reasons. Do I worry about that legal problem? Not really. Heck, even my high idle kit is illegal. Because it alters the ECM sensors and its ability to control the engine.

Glow shift are poor quality from the get go. Then you never want to install a sensor at the tap point. You want at least 5 foot of tubing between the last snubber to the sensor. This stops the water hammer from beating the sensor to death.

Where does everyone think I have spare time? 3 days a week 40 hours a week I'm stuck driving back and forth to Ontario, OR to keep MoparMom alive. The chances of me even getting close to Cally right now is so low that be like me winning a billion dollars on the lottery that I don't even play. As for the gun laws and my open carry, I'll continue doing exactly what I've done for the last 5 years or so. I'm not even going to worry about it. Heck, I know of a member on the site that is deeper trouble than I am. Again I'm not even going to worry about it.

Both have carbon fiber syncros.

Not going to even worry about it. Been doing it this long and never had one problem.

Link please...

Seriously, I wish I would have done this sooner. Wow! I love the front switchback bulbs. Those are totally awesome bright white in parking lamp mode. Turn signal makes them switch to amber and flash normally. Then when done its switches back to white again. Awesome bulbs. Kind of gives this old truck a modern appeal again. Kind of like the halo lighting or modern switch backlight on newer vehicles. The rear red LEDs turned out good and plenty bright. No longer have to think about blown tail lights. These should last a very long time.

Currently got an open spot on my new grille for one...

ECT and IAT values would be helpful. Odometer and amount of miles on the injectors would help. If the injectors are over 100k to 150k miles time to replace them. Poor spray pattern can do weird things and weak pop pressures. Valve guides and valve seals can also create oil smoke which is white. Then bad injectors can cause white smoke too. The difference is the smell of the smoke one smells like raw unburnt fuel and the other smells like oil.

Too much timing. Lack of timing control with the XZT. Try turning XZT OFF and retesting I bet it goes away. Which this points to timing.

All u-joints are different. Rear shaft is different from the front shaft. The axle shafts are different as well. As for me, all the OEM stuff lasted the shortest. I ended up replacing all the OEM u-joints before 50k miles. Ball joints barely lasted 150k miles and failed now my cheap Rock Auto ball joints are going to beat OEM hands down. The only thing that lasted long is the OEM tie rod ends at 350k miles.

Just the fact the lift pump is not coming on while running could be an ECM problem. Lift pump circuit could be damaged in the ECM. no error codes or Wait To Start light issues are needed. I highly suggest you leave the lift pump hooked to the ECM for control. It would really suck to lose your life over a $5 toggle switch. If the truck happens to be in an accident and you unconscious the fuel will continue to pump till someone turns off the pump. The ECM will shut down all fuel and pumps if the engine shuts down suddenly and drop tach signal like Frontal crash.

This post above is the reason I won't do it. I'm not jumping through more hoops just for more fees and BS. What happened to the 2nd Admenment? Open Carry is legal and doesn't require fingerprints, letters, background checks or fees. I've already done it once for Idaho. Enough... Funny I can open carry and requires NOTHING! No permits, no background check, no fees, no nothing. Just holster up your pistol and act normal. All the permit is liberal BS. Meaningless... When open carry requires nothing. If the laws was about the firearms then there would be permits for open carry but there isn't. Make you think. Where I'm supposed to have all this free time to jump through all these hoops? Again just open carry never once had any issues with law enforcement or permits.

Woods doesn't bother much at all. I'm at peace there. I love to just sit on the porch and watch the deer. Even watch bears from a distance which is cool. Check out the elk walking mountainside. Never had much of issue. Just maybe around the house in the dark you might spook the deer and have them snort at you. Still typically got the pistol on me. Normally not an issue. Now the city and all the whacked out drug users and homeless roaming around. Nope. I've already had enough close calls with meth-heads screaming at me. Then knowing the secrets of Ontario, OR like I've already met a few of the key people part of the drug trade down there. Then there are the gays and cross-dressers down there that's another issue in itself. I know more about that town than I should. Once the sun goes down it gets even worse. Yeah I've seen what Ontario turns into after the sun goes down... Not good! After all that nope the pistol stays with me. I've been seen by police in Ontario with my pistol visible and never had one problem. Even talked to local police and Oregon State police, not a problem.

Also, be very clear what tuner your running. Error codes are very helpful for the rebuilder. Being honest with the company helps a bunch too!
