antifreeze... long and short
Its all about the metals being used. Use the wrong coolant and you are asking for problems with cavitation and such

Master parts diagram or software?
Service manuals dont have parts diagrams

Master parts diagram or software?
You can find websites that sell oem parts that use similar software but the software chrysler uses is only used at the dealers. Its actually an awesome program and easy to work with

Gauge Time ISSPro EV2's
Shouldnt need grounded as there is a wired ground going to sensor. The only advantage I see is to get sensors away from heat/vibrations of the engine

Mouse in the trailer
I heard bounty dryer sheets keep them out. I wouldnt doubt they would eat expanding foam
-
New Fass and fuel pressure bouncing or surging?
I would start with a mechanical gauge. Just because you think the sensor is good, doesnt mean it actually is

Updating Dodge Computer
You cant screw anything up with a drb. To flash you need a computer setup with the flash hardware and a drb. Also enabling high idle takes 30 seconds and is simple as hitting a couple of buttons

Updating Dodge Computer
Recalls are free and dodge is the only one that can do it. Do you know if the recalls are active or have already been done? And when I was there you actually loaded the newest software so the whole ecm is updated. I hate the mindset that dealers are bad and they are trying to screw you. Its not always true.

Hey All From WI
Do not flush the trans unless you plan on buying a new trans. I have seen it happen many times. Drop the fluid, pull the return line going to trans and put into container. Start pickup until fluid stops draining. Install upgraded governor presure sensor and solenoid. Adjust front and rear bands. Put new filter and install pan. Add a bottle of lucas trans fix and 6 qts of atf+4. Drive nicely until engine gets warm and add fluid as needed. That is the most reliable way of changing trans fluid. As far as mileage, I really love the mpg/high idle/ 3 cylinder idle switch. It really helped mileage in winter. Get rid of the aftermarket intake and install a bhaf. Oiled filters let too much dirt in and you actually want the warm air from the engine getting sucked into the turbo. 4" isnt going to help with mileage (either will a cold air intake) the only advantage is better sound. I like using mufflers so it isnt too loud

What is a used 2nd generation engine worth

Headliner in a 2002 Ram 2500 coming loose
Remove sun visors, overhead, clothes hanger clips. Anything that looks like it holds in the headliner. Its not glued so it should fall out
-
Maybe its not the injectors
Hmmm. The only thing I could see is if its showing the computer higher rail pressure so the fca isnt putting out enough pressure to start.
-
Maybe its not the injectors
Rail pressure sensor?

Buying a 12 valve need some advice
I would be looking at plugged air filter/fuel filter. Kdp, fuel shut of solenoid, turbo, valve adjustment, slipping clutch. Im sure its something simple. 12 valves are tough. Transmission is worth 2700

Spray adhesive, silicone, weather stripping glue are some ideas

Looks like I may have lost ANOTHER Vp-44.... looking for options and ideas
And this is why people are getting rid of their 2nd gens.I am more than happy to get rid of mine because you are always worried about stupid stuff going wrong and it often does. Ive seen a pickup throw a 0216 and last another 100,000. Check all your grounds and make sure you are getting a good charge. Also check your connections at the vp and the ecm. You need to say the name of the company so nobody else gets burned by them

Bosh Remans vs. BBi stage 1 vs something else
Be careful on "new" there is lots of companies that say new in the title but dont say anything on how they are new. Bbi is the only ones that will say they are completly new. I keep hearing about bosch motorsports but havnt done any research into them
-
Hard cold start
I got 223,000 on mine. Going with bosch remans. Cant afford bbi. Im only getting 16 so its time for injectors

Axle identification?
Sometimes there are build tags under the hood and in the glove box showing which axle but wild and free is correct
