Please fill out your signature, so that we (as a whole) can better serve you ;)If you're talking 24V, I'd guess about an hour or two, having not done it, but pulled my valve cover this past weekend, and eye-balled them.12V, probably an hour, as you don't have to pull the valve cover, nor mess with crossover tubes.

Saturday, it was like 105*F with 112*F heat index.Sunday was 100*F with a 105*F heat index.Last evening, a wicked thunderstorm blew in, followed by a cool front.Right now, 71*F with a 77*F heat index.Looks to be in upper 70s to lower 80s here all week. YAY!

saturday and sunday, towing ~4500#, I was getting 5-7mpg @ 60mph per scangauge2... Something is seriously wrong with this truck now.. Oddly, however, it doesn't run bad..

Doomsday Prepper? ;)

103*F and I cut the horizontal section of the pvc pipe short /@#$& Puke bottle was about 1/2 full and 1/2" thick layer or more of crud. So I have to make a jerry-rig temp setup until I get another piece of pipe. From the Galaxy S3

Ok, so I don't drive like hell, not even remotely close to that. I really, really try to feather-foot the truck to save fuel. But no matter what I do or try, it makes little to no difference, towing or not.. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4244&d=1341589031 http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4245&d=1341589173 pay no mind to the 6/4/12 fill-up being 414mi. it was a fudge-factor of not completely filling up, then adding more later that day to fill it up, so I kinda combined the two and made one entry.

Nope, not saying that at all. I LOVE my manual trans. But.. If I could afford a built auto + exh. brake, I'd swap with a quickness.. Mostly because I'm old and getting tired of shifting LOL

I'm just west of Washington DC..

fluid level fine? possibly a band issue?

I just use terminal cleaner and protectant spray.

that cleaned up nice! I picked up the parts for my CVM, and plan to do the same with the radiator, as soon as the heat index drops below 110*F

I only rev to mid 2s when towing and rowing through the gears. I don't speed and my truck feels a little luggish if I stay below 2000 when shifting, especially when towing. The scan gauge said 14mpg today when cruising in 5th at 40.. no towing and flat ground. From the Galaxy S3

when i destroyed my nv4500.. ...the first time.. ;) ..the 2nd time.. LOL Can you say "too much torque?" HA!

do you manually reset your Cmg and Tmg on a daily basis? As mine is currently, it resets MPG and Avg MPG every time the ignition is cycled.I'd like the Tmg and Cmg x-codes.. ;)I also try to feather the throttle as best I can, and as often as I can. I do not speed around, and I don't stab the throttle. I rarely go above 23-2400rpm now, during shifts, and I'll try to maintain 2200rpm while climbing any grades..Well, you see the results in the pic a few posts back..

Michael, Is the far-right threaded section a 45* or something? I can't really tell from the picture.

Understood. I'm more interested in YOUR custom x-gauges and what they do ;)

As stated, I swapped my stock 100k mi. 47RE ('96 truck) for a nv4500, and it was nigh & day difference. I used a stock clutch, and had mild mods done to the 12V (boost elbow @ 35psi, #10 fuel plate, 3K gsk, bhaf, 4" exh, 7" single stack)My '01 has OE nv5600. Sometimes, I wished it had a built auto & e-brake.

That was about 30 miles into the trip.. truck rolls smooth and freely.. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 - - - Updated - - - that doesn't mean anything to me LOL

Today, towing through rolling hillside. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

haha! I'm a Tanker, and the explanation is pretty accurate!

Chatroom is open.

So, 3 fill-ups in, with my SG2, I'm around +43% fuel adjustment.. Average about 11.9 - 12.3mpg via SG2..Mike - what's this X-gauge setting stuff you keep talking about? What are YOU using it for? My gauge display (right now) is Instant MPG, AVG MPG, MPH, TCF.

Yep, I did it on my '96. It's quite easy, straight-forward, and IMO, it was WELL-WORTH it.. :)If you have all your parts gathered, then it should take about 12-14hrs or so, provided you don't run into any issues I did, but wasn't earth-shattering..However, I see your sig says you have an '01. Not 100% sure on any PCM issues you may or may not encounter, if any..
