  1. From the splice up to the socket would be my guess. Could very well be the headlight socket too. I've seen them melt over the years.
  2. Need to do W-T ground mod... Simple verison.
  3. I try for once to twice a year for waxing. The 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 lost it's clear coat and starting to lose the paint. The 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 is still doing good.
  4. That method I managed to break my socket twice. Now having to buy that socket at the local hardware store for nearly $25 bucks is no cheap. That method works well when you have a partner to watch and yell back. I'm typically working solo.
  5. No longer here... He's long gone... Washington...
  6. When you add your fuel pressure sensor don't put it in at the tap point. Remote mount the sensor. It's not the engine vibration that kills the sensor its the water hammer pulses. Easy way to see this is being a room with the TV cranked up loud. You move away from the loud sounds to protect your hearing. Something with your pressure sensor don't hook it up to the VP44 where the source of the pulses come from.
  7. I'm planning on adding more. I've been playing with timing pretty deeply and now I've got a good idea on how to detect too retarded and too advanced. Also figured out some ways to pull a very deep retard and build boost fast and jump back to high cruise timing. More to be added to that article soon. @Quadzilla Power Thank you for the comments! I'll try to make it even better!
  8. Holy cow dude! Long ways from the days of Edge Comp where just having +50 HP injectors were dirty on just about any level of power.
  9. +12V -> Fuse -> Bulb <- Dimmer Switch <- Headlight Switch <- GND at driver side kick panel.
  10. Yes, all the Edge Juice would have to be removed. Then you could install the Quadzilla in its place. The bad part is the Edge Juice has so much cabling going back into the cab. Ugh. Quadzilla only has one wire going to the fuse panel that's all. As for smoke control, it super simple just dial down below 100% and you cutting below stock value. Like my tune... Totally smoke free.
  11. Missing the other thing now. Your caster angle is out. When the axle is dropped down the caster turns more positive. You need to have that adjusted also. This can impact the thrust angle of the truck. If the caster can't be set you might have to install a different set of control arms to gain your caster angle. Yeah as the axle is forced downward with lift kits the track bar pulls it over to the driver side.
  12. 10 PSI minimum oil pressure at 800 RPM idle. 30 PSI minimum oil pressure at 2,000 RPM.
  13. That tiny hole is designed in there for air to push out but it won't allow the system to drain out. So when you're bumping the starter to get the prime cycle the lift pump can push the air from the VP44 out that hole and at least prime the pressure pump.
  14. Yeah, that was me... What he said is true. I heated the ball joint knuckle to help expand the metal. We started with a propane torch but no luck. Then fired up the acetylene torch and heated the ball joint good. The ball joint start to vent a very foul vapor that burned the eyes and horrid to breathe. We bailed out the shop and let that cool some. I can back in and sat down and hit the knuckle with a 6-pound hammer... BOOM!!! Then I open my eyes to the feeling of hot grease splattered all over my face. The ball stud exploded hit the floor, whizzed past me and the fender. Spraying me with hot grease. Hit the ceiling, then hit the floor, then hit my buddy in the thigh just about giving him a 3rd nut for life. So... If i was to do it again. I would just burn the top off completely. Push the ball stud out. Using a hacksaw relief cut the cap. Knock it out with a hammer. I'm not going to fight the whole ball joint press thing again... Screw that...
  15. Agreed. Hence why Edge Juice has to change constantly. Not true either. Someday I just leave my phone out in the truck in the cradle. Most of the time it hooks back up. Sometimes it just tries once to connect and quits regardless if the app is left open in the truck. Strange is I can leave the app running on my phone and carry the phone around come back to the truck and still have connection issues. There is day when I need to monitor for phone calls. No, I don't want two cradles in my truck one for iQuad and one for my cellphone.
  16. ...then read all data from the ECM.
  17. If it like the other hemi's being produced I would be a bit worried. Seems like the current hemi's have a problem of throwing the 7 or 8 con-rod through the block.
  18. Best part you know its done right!
  19. Heck even my 96 Dodge 1500 has a good kick when it shifts 2-3 gear change.
  20. Make sure you tell that shop to use lots and lots anti-seize on everything including bolts! The one unit bearing is my fault I replaced one that failed in Boise, ID and then never thought about it. No anti-seize used and it rusted to the knuckle in less than 1 year. I tried using the air hammer tool to push out the bear but no dice. I had to beat that bearing for over 4 hours with a 6 pound hammer to get it out of the knuckle. Not fun... So like I said make sure to use lots and lots of anti-seize on all parts. Make sure to use sandpaper or hone stone to clean all holes up and remove rust. Makes assemble much better and the future change a breeze!
  21. Yes, the sensor is supplied!
  22. Yeah, I can fill your head with lots of info. There is a downside to my setup. Everything in the front end last so dang long it a nasty fight to remove the parts. Like I just done wheel joints for the first time in 16 years and 358k miles. One side took me all day beating on the u-joint to get it out. The other side took most of the day to just get the shaft out then had to drive to town and have a friend at the shop put it in a 100-ton press to get the joint out. So, it does suck to have things last longer.
  23. I understand the big tire look but there are several things that people miss. We've discussed the leverage factor. Most do a leveling kit or light lift kit. Both foul the geometry of the front axle. Then the final gear ratio is typically to low now. Bigger tires reduce gear ratio number. Like your 35" tires are making your 3.55:1 axle more like 3.21:1. Now adding stress to all driveline. Optimal is 3.55 for highway or 3.73 for mixed towing/highway. But you got to calculate the tire size too.
  24. The best thing to do is lock it down in 1st gear. Turn on your hazards and crawl off slowly just like a truck would.
  25. Give them a shot. The problem you have is the leverage force of the 35-inch tires causing the wear on the ball joints. If I told you with 235's and 245's tire I can clear 200k miles you would understand. But no matter what larger tires and wheel will wipe out ball joints quickly because of the extra leverage forces. Basically like adding a cheater pipe to the ratchet that what the bigger wheels and tires do is lever against the ball joints.
