  1. My Banks came with that extra port also.
  2. Went to work this am and about the same traffic as the past few days. The counties south od Atlanta dont have large medical infrastructure as Atlanta. ICU beds are already in short supply. I am sure many of you probably have similar situations where you live. It would be easy to overwhelm them. I am also thinking I might have to take a leave of absence. If I get this stuff its liable to just put me in the ground. Not ready for that yet.
  3. The housigs are different from truck to truck. Mine is not a V band clamp. It bolts to the turbo. The elbow and flange that bolts to the turbo on mine is cast together. Not sure how Dodge decided what truck got which style.
  4. The pump is no more expensive but if you want filters that the AD and fass come with you have to buy filter heads to screw them onto. They were 150 to 200 bucks last time I looked. Been a while though.
  5. You know I think you are. Have to pull mine out and look.
  6. Must be gorilla tape.
  7. Pot is essential. At least it was a looonngg time ago.
  8. The county in Georgia that I am staying in just issued a shelter in place order. If you are not working at an essential job you are to stay home. You are able to go get groceries or anything else needed to sustain life but thats it. I read the order the county adopted and construction is deemed an essential job. We shall see how that works when I leave for work in the am. I have my copy of the order just in case.
  9. I have a 4" on mine and my 245 75 16 clears the pipe by about 3/4" maybe. It is close. That is a 31" tire not sure what size your dually has on it. As far as the dually wheels, l know nothing.
  10. If you do want the prefilters like an the AD and FASS thats when the mechanical gets expensive unless you have a cheap source for the filter heads.
  11. My bolts came out just fine and winch did still work. My hands are preety big too but I was able to get in there ok as I remember. But then again nothing was rusted tight.
  12. RV's and a Comp with an untapped pump does not equal a rocket. Thats for sure.
  13. Its a toss up. My oe crapped out at 75k. The next one150k and my last one at 277k.
  14. I dont remeber any trouble removing mine. Bolt and nut was all and I could get up over the top ok, IIRC.
  15. My wife's 1998 Saturn will leave me in dust off the line with a 4 banger under the hood. Dont last long though.
  16. If your truck is still in stock trim, other than trans, power down low leaves something to be desired. Not sure what you are working with.
  17. Looking at the photos even the fuel lines running up to the head look a lot better than mine after 18 years. Maybe yours has weathered well. The fuel lines are pricey too. How many miles on the truck?
  18. Soak the mechanism in some penetrating oil. Probably going to need a tool to get some leverage on it to break it free. It is a square drive that maybe a long socket extension might fit over or in it to turn it.
  19. No shifting issues with mine. The delay was plenty. But every once in a while it would kick in but not affect anything.
  20. You are jot the first to have this issue. I have read here of the issue in the past. Not many however. How to solve is way over my head.
  21. The safety chain is not a bad idea at all. But I would still put the winch on for raising and lowering. Aint no way my old arse is getting under there trying hold it up and chain it. I lost my spare when the winch cable broke and was very lucky the tire did not hit someone. It jumped over 30 feet in the air after it came out from under the truck. Never heard a thing, just happened to see it in the mirror and folks getting out of the way. Pretty dangerous.
  22. Mine is a 6 speed and was having surging issues. I was just attesting to the quality of tne u it.
  23. Have you ever seen their commercials?
  24. I have one on the truck and a spare to boot. It has been trouble free for 10 years. I only have a spare from a misguided repair a while back.
  25. Hopefully I will have some time to try that. That is if I can my deaf ear close enough to the motor to listen. My HT part has been in for 7.5 years and my ears have been bad for longer than that.
