  1. I've got a 5" FTE resonator and a muffler on my 4th gen. Before adding the FTE, I just had the muffler. I didn't notice any difference when I added the resonator in (EGTs, mpg, or butt dyno). I'm guessing my hp is around 385-400. I doubt you'd notice anything. That said - FTE is known to cause restriction.
  2. Do you own a code scanner where you could attempt to connect to the system?
  3. @Mopar1973Man I'm sure you have a wiring diagram you could point to.... I'd take some pictures, but I'm nowhere near my truck.
  4. I typically see the same temps John did with his 05 in my 14. I have seen temps as high as 245 pulling a very long grade with 16k in tow. I'd be interested to see what my 2nd gen does, but don't have a sensor to install.
  5. Been a very busy couple years! I plan to stick around for a while!

    I like seeing the work you do.... but I'm not a huge fan of seeing your feet When I make it back to the states I'll have to come check this thing out!
  7. @Gregturley new holes in your door or in the new mirror? I assumed it would be pretty simple. I would grab a set of wires from the junk yard so you can use the factory dodge ends without cutting up your harness.
  8. Is the bolt pattern the same on the mirror and door? If yours are power, how are you connecting power? Thanks!
  9. Same article I followed to to mine yesterday

    I figured if I had any issues they would have shown themselves by now.... either that or the dealer would fight me on it like the oil pan - so screw the warranty. I'm sure @Me78569 hasn't and I still haven't done one since I bought it. Probably voided my warranty by not doing it every 6 months

    Got tired of the horrible mileage and choking the engine with exhaust.... I'm attempting to get @Me78569 to follow suit! Hopefully picking up the EGR delete kit tonight. (Depending on if @trreed can get me the pan gasket) 5" exhaust with muffler should be here Wednesday Pan gasket will be here this week one way or another. Hopefully everything will be done by the weekend.
  12. You've got the first two numbers correct. The third number is the cross sectional area of of the exhaust housing. The larger this number, the better it will flow, but the slower it will spool. The smaller this number, the worse it will flow, but the faster it will spool.
  13. That's a horrible turbo for both a high performance single and towing. Sounds to me like you need to drop down to 7x.010 injectors with a 62/68/14, 62/68/12, 62/65/14, or 62/65/12.Those should be T3 turbos as well. Then get a quad with V2 and enjoy smokeless power.
  14. I don't think so.... Take a look at this PDF. https://racemecanada-com.3dcartstores.com/assets/images/Files/DODGE RAM PIDS.pdf
  15. Here to learn. @Me78569 if it would be helpful to borrow my RaceMe, let me know. My 4th gen is doing a lot of sitting, so I wont need it..... at least for now.
  16. Creature comforts Once you have some AC blown on your rear your life changes BUT The 4th gen only gets used for the longer trips. I've put 4K miles on it in almost a year, where I've put about 10-12K on the 2nd gen - most of those were hooked to a trailer too. It's pretty sad I haven't had the 2nd gen apart in almost a year too! Just did some wheel bearings recently is all.
  17. IMO the words I highlighted in red are incorrect. A well-done conversion is easily daily drivable. I do it all the time and tow more than most on here with it. Smoke is not an issue with a Ppump assuming you know how to use a screwdriver. I believe there are many things to gain with a Ppump, especially if you want a higher HP daily. However, if you don't like to dive in deep and tinker with the pump until you find the happy spot, I'd stay away from it. All to often there are hack jobs who try to throw the swap together then sell the truck when it won't run right. That's purely mechanic error though. If you like the electronic control and don't plan on going over 600hp you should definitely keep the VP.

    @Me78569 if you want to drive down to Penrose I'll have a crisp $100 bill waiting for ya!
  19. Not me ! I slammed that SOB into 4th and drove it home! Trevor should call me before he tries to show off in front of dum dums.
  20. Can't do that. If I keep using the 4th gen the way I have been the exhaust will be plugged in a month. I will won't sell the old girl - I'll use it for everything around town from towing to getting groceries. The 4th gen will be used for out of town stuff. And now that hell has frozen over, it's time to fix that oil leak
  21. Park it next to a 4th gen and don't drive it for a week or two. It'll straighten up! Mine just has an oil leak since I did that.
  22. just quit messing with it. It's getting tired of your crap!
  23. @trreed what's the name of that site I sent you?? It had good oil rated hose for cheap - all sizes too!
  24. Start around 20* and move up as need be. It would help to speak with your injector to know how high your timing can be while being safe for DDing.
  25. No.... I try to keep my foot out of it haha. If I send it with full power it'll likely blow the trans to pieces.
