ABS and airbag delete
I don't know how? ABS module is what sends the speedometer and odometer signals. ABS module is what tells the grid heater to turn off after 20 MPH. ABS module is what tells the PCM speeds for the automatic transmission and cruise control. I know some of this for sure because of the fact when I sent my ABS module in to be rebuilt these are things that failed to function.

Swapping from TPS to APPS
I'm not sure if the 3rd Gen APPS will even work or if it has the same two validation switches or what inside. 3 pins are the rheostat so +5V, signal and signal GND. The there is IVS (idle), IVS (throttle) and GND. I've got no idea what's in the 3rd Gen APPS.

Somebody please "splain" to me if this really works and how?????
There is a member (Cowboy) that manage to make a spin on filter for his transmission. I just don't see it as an efficient means of filtering oil being there is no true pumping of oil just kind of paddle wheeling oil with the gear teeth. New Venture didn't think filtering oil was a big problem or need. As for my NV4500 has a magnet on the PTO cover than that has worked for 356k miles and rolling.

Personally, I don't see the need for it. Being even after better than 1/4 of million miles I never had any debris in the case even after breaking the mainshaft. All you need is a magnet on the cover plate and it will capture all the metal. Being everything is ferrous metals and magnetic. Clean the magnet and reload with oil.

will it tow
Mopar1973Man replied to oldhippie66@comcast.net's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge Reliability / PerformanceThank you @IBMobile I knew I've seen it before. I'm planning on doing the very same thing as you and putting the oil pressure in that extra pod position. By chance do you remember where you bought the pod at or part number for it?

Don't need an entire engine just a spark plug.

Bottom of dipstick looks melted?
Maybe someone laid the dipstick across the body and the positive terminal. Look close you might find a second arc mark.

Where to buy front end parts?
Ive got both Rockauto and NAPA in my front end. No need for high dollar parts.

Mopar1973Man replied to oldhippie66@comcast.net's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge Reliability / PerformanceBoost, Fuel pressure, Pyrometer down my a-pillar. Then Trans Temp on my steering column. I'm thinking of getting an addon pod for another gauge and stack an oil pressure gauge on the a-pillar. I think @IBMobile I'm trying to remember who has it but I've seen it before.

2001 24 Valve Intermittant Dying/Bogging down
Torque converter issues? Is the transmission fluid dark or have glitter in it? Error codes? It could be a failing tach sensor (cam or crank depending on year)

Performance Upgrades
Kind of like I'm in that range with +75 HP Injectors (7 x 0.0085) and HX35/40 hybrid (60/60/12) and Quadzilla.

Gen 2 Map sensor Flakey
Basically, you looking to buy a 2001 MAP sensor. 2002 MAP sensors were discontinued.

Gen 2 Map sensor Flakey
Rockauto has the MAP sensor for 79 bucks. Or 87 bucks with adapter harness. Might look over there. Ditch the Cummins name save a bit more.

LED lighting - Interior lighting
Actually, I do use mine quite bit through the winter time. When I'm sitting in the parking lot I can turn on the driver side map light and work on my laptop. Now with the new laptop with LED lit keyboard I can work without any lights at all. Actually, the trick is to keep the plastic from drying out. If you change out the OEM bulbs and go to LED there is less heat. Then I used silicone spray to hopefully keep the oils in the plastic and getting brittle. 16 years later and mine are still working just fine. Can't be too crummy, can it?

Lock up switch now high idle.
There is no such thing a dumb question. We are glad to help you out. Not a problem and no it wasn't a waste of time I'm sure someone else will forget too. Be thankful it was an easy fix.

iQuad Boost Readings Lower than Boost Gauge
I don't rely on the Quadzilla for gauges. This is why I like going headless. Boost (varies as boost climbs), pyrometer (+50*F to my ISSPro EV2 gauge) or vehicles speed (-1 MPH always compared to GPS). In my truck, all 3 of these gauges are off.

An additional fuel filter
In 13 years and 250k miles the pump had zero wear in my AirDog but the motor bearing failed after the shaft seal failed and pumped fuel in the bearing washing it out. Then the motor blew the fuse. The geo-rotor was fine and undamaged after 250k miles. Don't be changing your filters too early this is 15k miles as stated by the owners manual. The filter is still good.

Truck coolant flush
That will only occur if your HVAC case isn't all plugged up with debris or the heater core isn't full of scale build up. Remember scale build-up is caused by pH balance of the coolant going corrosive, not because of mineral in the water being I've never used distilled water, and been using strictly well and creek water for the entire life of my truck. If your city water is highly chlorinated or hard water then your stuck using distilled water. Sorry to say I'm extremely lucky to have nearly pure water flowing down the creek. This customer was having a hard time trying to stay warm in his truck. When I finished with power washing the evaporator and replaced the heater core he then complained that it got too damn hot in the cab and he had to roll down the windows to keep from sweating to death.

Truck coolant flush
Even with my 190*F I've ran for 16 years the vent temperature at 0*F could still be hot. Yeah, that thermometer shows 161*F out of the center vents.

Lawn mower cat head real name
Pull rope? What's that? I turn a key and the engine starts on my lawnmower. Seriously... You might look at the routing of the rope and see if there is a place that got a sharp edge or excessive drag across objects that causes the rope to fail. My old log splitter engine was very prone to this problem just because of the angle the rope left the housing and my pure height of pull upwards. When I got the new 6HP HF engine I turned the starter so the rope is pointing up and rarely now does the rope fail.

An additional fuel filter
I run just the AirDog 150 with the 3um filter on the AirDog then a stock filter in the stock can. I'm not worried about protecting the AirDog 150 being the water separator is the prefilter for the pump. I don't have debris issues being I'm set up for 50k filter changes which is actually too early. The media of the Airdog filter might barely be dark by that time. The stock can will be slightly cleaner but not much.

Mopar1973Man replied to oldhippie66@comcast.net's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge Reliability / PerformanceI'm the reverse of you. I like going headless. No display at all. This way my truck appears to be stock or without a tuner. Now people are really puzzled when they ride with me when that truck takes off like a scalded dog. During my long travels my cellphone does three tasks. Quadzilla, MP3 music and handle phone calls (handfree). I'm completely set for voice commands. All audio is piped into the stereo. It's as close as I can get to a modern luxury vehicle without the price tag. Since I've already got gauges on the a-pillar I've really go no need for the Quadzilla to be displayed. Truthfully I rely on the a-pillar gauge way more that Quadzilla being most of the gauges on Quadzilla are incorrect like Pyrometer (+50*F), Boost (varies as boost rises), Vehicle speed (-1 always), etc.

Lock up switch now high idle.
Are you on level 0? Is your warm up mode set too high? Basically warm up mode hold level 0 till warm up is complete once it completed the the set level is restored. So if the module was unhooked it would revert back to level 0.
