That sucks but i guess at least it is not #6... Hope it is just a reset and re-torque.

Am i picking up on the suggestion that the RV275 units are about the top out for a stock hx turbo without a potential egt issue? I mean without having to constantly monitor temps if your towing etc? Am I correct to assume that in stock trim there is just not enough fuel to create egt problems. I would guess so since they did not come stock with egt gauge so dodge would be liable if towing was causing unknown dangerous egts an damaging pistons etc.

Ok my dash indicator for the 4wd is flickering. It comes on when engaged and takes a long time to go out when out of 4wd. It appears to be out since I can not feel the feedback in the steering wheel. It did not have this problem last time I checked it. I just got the truck a couple of months ago. My cruise control works, it does seem to take a little time to change modes but not really long and i have no reference to another truck. I do not have the vac solenoid on the front axle on my truck. Any thoughts? Thanks

Andy, thanks for the explanation. I had a idea for upgrading that heat shield. Since I used to work in the sheet metal mfg industry i had the idea of making 2 pieces. One slightly smaller than the other to compensate for the bend. Use pem inserts to create standoffs like are used to mount a mother board in a pc case. This would create a air gap from the outer plate to the inner and raise the filter so it wont rub on the ac lines. The radiant heat would be buffered by the air gap and when the vehicle is in motion the air moving under hood should be enough to keep the heat from radiating to the filter. Just a thought i have been kicking around.

I have searched for the "Mallory Mount" but found nothing. Can you post pics or links to something more about this? Thanks

:agree: exactly my thoughts.

soo?? did you get all your parts yet? I'm really interested in this I have some rv units ordered from Jkidd. :thumbsup: Yea finally got my 10th post

this is something I want to know more about.

I was just at my local kragen/orilley and they had the red top 800cca for 149 ea. If that is the regular price it is a pretty good one. The 1000cca are 169ea. I would have to say even someone like you who is really on top of the maint on your truck is lucky to get that kind of time out of stock batteries. You get a set of the gel cel and never have to clean no corrosion and i think he said they have something like a 15yr typical life to them. I personally have used them since I found out they made them in 95. I have never had one go bad one me. Bonus is the dual terminal for those extra electrical connections. doing a little search I found this place that offers free shipping and some good prices. In your situation not being able to just drive 5 min to a auto parts store it might be worth looking into. http://bigtimebattery.com/store/optima_batteries.html?OVRAW=optima%20batteries&OVKEY=optima%20battery&OVMTC=standard&OVADID=27739516521&OVKWID=1206486521&ysmwa=oeatz1Uh-pRE4A_U8xiqca-vtlowvZk8EcY7QBFqBZO7BWXD0G5KK2maeDS8Q5cL

Jacob put me down for a light upgrade!!

When I worked at the dealer one flash is just like any other. The device prompts you for the steps and away you go no big deal. I was using the mds and the hand held not sure if they still use that setup.

cool local kragen/oreilly exchanged me out of the Lucas for Valvoline tc-w3 12.99/gal .

no more gasser only diesel now. Ill try to return the unopened one.

Great just got a 2 for 1 at autozone on some lucas.... Do you think I could add the 2 cycle on top of it? I would hate to throw it away.

Is there any thread on the type brand of pads? Perhaps some perform better than others?

Good to see im in the mix and not out in front.. :rolleyes:Curt
