  1. BHAF could be used but... There is considerable plumbing mods you have to do for a 3rd gen. I would stick yo a deep pleat paper element like what Wild & Free is using for 3rd Gen. BHAF are suggested for 2nd gen body truck because they just fit everything. Just remove the old air box and clamp on BHAF.
  2. Max'ed out on a HX35W turbo is right at 35 PSI. But hard to tell unless you have a exhaust back pressure gauge and a boost pressure gauge hooked up. Then you can see when the choke point occurs. Most claim the Hy35W is max'ed out at 30-32 PSI typically. But like my setup with small +50 HP injectors I'm barely 550-600*F at 60 MPH and running 2-3 PSI of boost tops. Running the RV at 55-60 MPG its more like 700-800*F and about 7-10 PSI boost. So I'm well below all the limits still. Even loaded with the RV and pulling a 6-7% grade in 4th gear (about 2,100 RPM's) I'm right at 1,050-1,100*F EGT's and about 25 PSI of boost cruise set at 55 MPH. As you can see I'm well below all the limits and have no real issues.
  3. Nick... Such a card...
  4. JL Welding made me a set of wrenches and I've got them here for fan clutch replacements.
  5. Be careful... Some of those contain oil charge as well. When mine was leaking years ago I grabbed those shot the can in and was happy after about 5 can you now have a system full of oil and no freon. Can cause serious damage like hydro-locking the compressor or extremely high pressures that can be explosive. Mine was enough that it was capable of squealing the belt and venting oil and freon out the back side of the compressor. So like I said be careful.
  6. Yeah... Auto's are common for having the tiny 9cm2 exhaust housing on the turbo which is a problem in itself. They tend to run hotter EGT's wise because of such small exhaust housing. Then going over 40 PSI of boost need considerations for head studs or o-ringing the head depending on how far above 40 PSI your going. But the weak link for most is the Automatic 47RE transmission.
  7. No rotation... Each piston goes back to its original hole. Kind of like rotating injector shims. Just doesn't work.
  8. Sound like some one need to clean up his cooling system. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/index.php?/topic/10057-summer-is-about-here/ I typically see 210-215 climbing a grade but nothing more. It could be a fan clutch failing or plugged radiator face (I know you got bugs!). How is the coolant level in the radiator cold? Are you getting coolant from the bottle yet or failed hose? If the line has any pressure at all it will leak out. Even dampen a fitting. So I would power wash everything let it dry and let the truck idle for a period of time looking for the damp fitting.
  9. Even my buddies old 1992 Dodge 1st gen did better than 20 MPG. Sad part is that the injection pump and injectors are very very simple on these truck and something had been changed. Bad part is to set timing isn't easy for home owner because of the special dial indicator that is required. As for injectors it nothing more than a shim to control pop pressure but the nozzle will dictate quality of spray. I wish you were closer to me I'd love to work on this issue and make it right for you...
  10. True... I do have the Edge on 5x3 be at least I can turn it down in slick conditions so I can gain control on slick ground like ice or mud. Where a large injectors there is no way to turn them back down. So if I set 1x1 I would be under fuelled being sublevel 1 is only 33% of stock fuel till 20 PSI of boost. So I have a wider range of control this over large injectors. Neat part is I have the same amount of power.
  11. Could you give me a call some time so we can do some bench testing between us? Number in my signature...
  12. I'm running a small +50 HP Injector from Vulcan Performance. Very, Very clean. Extremely good power tires do break loose in 4th (ask JAG1 about it). Extremely good MPG always in the 20's running empty and easy 12-14 MPG towing 8,000 pound 31 foot RV. Even get 16 MPG hauling 7,000 pounds of firewood.

  15. There is a science to the fire fighting in the canyon. There is times when fires occur the local creek are nearly dried up. We will typically page out a second tone for assistance from other local cities and start shuttling water from the main river to the fire. Porta-ponds or fold-a-tanks are used quite a bit. Structure fire are not as common here till lately. But grass fires and vehicle fire tend to be more common place. As for us and foam we are not a big pusher of foam. We've lost a lot of equipment from improper use and clean up of foam. We are always fixing rotting plumbing parts and damage pump parts from foam being used. So majority of the fires we have we stick to water mainly. Even though foam requires less water but does more damage to pump plumbing. Only one fire station has water. The other 5 stations don't even have running water. Just a shed and power. So proper clean up of the equipment is rather hard and most just want to get the truck back to quarters and go back to bed and get sleep or get back to work at their jobs.
  16. Even though the federal laws state the limit and even local laws state the limits on tint... You can still tint your glass in your truck to a comfortable level and not be pestered by the law enforcement. Just simple and don't do foolish thing like speeding and call attention to yourself and they will most likely not mess with your tinted windows. As of right now my 02 Dodge is illegal and has been for years because side windows should be 25% or less tint. I'm at 20% and the rear windows are at 5%. I've been pulled over but never sited for a tint issue.
  17. In my little community I'm watching so many family torn apart, marriages failing from alcohol, drug use, etc. You wish you can help these people but there isn't much you can do but offer up a prayer and hope that it come to solution. All them I'm coming in contact with usually has one abusive natured person and this can be either male of female. What few people there in this group could you offer a prayer to these people to find there way. Just sad to see such things even a member here on the site is having issues as well.
  18. I was just informed of this tidbit of information about Salmon River Rural Fire Department. I was listening to the Fire Chief talk about ground we cover. We cover 67 miles of the canyon floor plus 12 miles on either side of the main highway. Then you have to cover all the side roads leading away from the main highway and 12 miles of either side of that road. So, Salmon River Rural is the biggest fire department for coverage in the state of Idaho. Then we rank 5thin the nation for size of district. We have 6 fire station scattered along the canyon from Pinehurst Station #1, White Water Wilderness Ranch #2, Rapid River #3, Lucile #4, Slate Creek #5, White Bird #6. Each station house has two trucks some are water tenders, structure engines or fast attacks / wildland. What is really scary about all this we only have 1 fire hydrant in the entire district. Now consider the skills it takes to organize and keep water coming to fire fighters be it you are pumping water from a creek or river then truck it back to the scene.
  19. Summer is about here... Time to look into a few things... Cooling system flushing New thermostat Power washing the radiators and coolers out New fan belt Check the freon pressures in your air conditioning Check the radiator hoses Check the idler pulley bearings including the fan Inspect the fan clutch for leaking oil Time to check over the truck and prepare for a nice hot summer. So don't neglect your truck take the time and inspect these different areas to be sure you have a enjoyable summer either towing, RV'ing, or just making back and forth to work.
  20. All I can say is pull them off and bench test them on a battery see if they spin before you leave the yard. But the electric motors or the switch will fail on those typically.
  21. Beyond that I don't have a answer... I don't know of any replacement bearings... Might be one in the top but unknown if you can get it out or replaced.
  22. I gone down that road already. Replaced everything else once but came down to replacing the compressor and now I have leak free system.
  23. If I'm not mistaken the temp sensor is near governor sensor so it's in the pan and trans temp light cones at 290 or so.
  24. How about this? http://www.rocksolidramtrucksteering.com/
