is the gear or whatever in there already? i've wanted to use mine too for something, just have really needed anything!

if you have a dana 60 in front, (not sure what the 1 ton used) you can't use the 3rd gen brakes.d60 rotors are pressed on by wheels studs behind the unit bearing. 3rd gens use a more normal slip on rotor.

finally finished putting in the jake. it doesn't pull the truck down as much as everbody makes it out to.I still have to use the brakes quite a bit. does sound cool though at higher rpms.this shouldn't need exhuast springs like the 12ver right?

ok pin 20. does that apply to a 99 dodge as well? which is ECM, on the firewall?thanks guys.

hey thanks mike, but that one i found online somewhere. for the life of me i can't find and installation manual, (only looked for about 2-3 hours last night tho)

took it out a coupla months ago and loved it. now i don't really hear it any more, kinda got used to i guess.

huh. never thought to put the filter minder on. do you just drill a hole for it?

i was lucky to buy my truck with the tow mirrors, just wish they had gotten the power heated ones. all the wires are in my truck for them. especially the passenger one would be nice it's far to lean across.

the 2wd uses a unit bearing too? figured that was an old fashioned spindle. oh well!

mike's a wealth of knowledge! i haven't gone under that far but i'll try and remember to look for it someday.

takes no time to hit 300 egt. the coolest i've seen was 200 going down a steep hill in 2nd gear.

never knew there was a torque value for those things! thanks

anyone know where i can find/download the Jake exhuast brake installation manual? found one on ebay for pretty cheap and there's this red wire with a pin terminal. i hooked it up to just straight vacuum and it works good!

custom. homemade novelty i worked on last winter.

wow. finally someone who believes me! that pillar is thick. kind of a blind spot, right?

this is where i decided to put my guages. doesn't make they a pillar any bigger than it already is.

i do a hill in town here in 4th gear @ 1000 egt anywhere from 500-800 on highway at 70 lowest egt i've seen is 200 going down in hills in 2nd gear. idles at 300. autometer cobalt pyro pre turbo

in my truck, the revs drop quick too. i thought it was normal because every gas truck i drove dropped pretty quick too. but they don't drop quite as quick as yours...still on original vp though. i'll be payin attention to see what you end up finding out.

get yourself a new transfer pump asap.

i put one on my truck about a year ago, and i didn't like it and i didn't hate it. It made getting into the gates a little hard, i think it did that because you move the pivot farther from the shift rails. did a little reading and learned putting a heavy shift knob on would help that feeling. So i made one at work out of stainless and now it feels pretty close to stock. imo don't do it, but if you do plan on a weighted shift knob. the threads are M10 x 1.5

i'm not really sure what you refer to, but these trucks have high compression. what you might be hearing is just that, the engine stops suddenly and you hear the last compression cycle but it doesn't fire fore there is no more fuel.what i hear in mine is that plus a little belt squeel, ya know all the accessories are spinning and want to keep spinning even though engine stopped.

here's a link http://www.pscmotorsports.com/dodge-trucks-dodge-stabilizer-brackets-c-98_100.html

i've also heard good things about stabilizers. i would proly do the psc steering stabilizer.

yeah its electric, it drops from 21-22 down to 15-16. i think my alt might be on it's way out cause my batteries were froze around christmas time.

my fp drops 4-5 psi when grids hit. snaps right back up. startled me first time i saw that so i turned on lights to make sure i wasn't seeing things, they dimmed too when grids cycled.
