Smarty s03 today :)
You got me scared. Lol I saw studs arp for 161 and theres up to 400. I'll have to do more research on studs. Maybe the arp I saw were for a different application. Trust me I want a quad. I might just get rid of both the s03 and superchips and do a turbo. Turbo I have no idea. 7x09 now but I could go 7x10 easily. Later on. What turbo would you recommend to have growing room over 7x09 I injectors

I asked because a quick search showed arp was a cheaper option . I used arp on my billet flex plate. Not needed but I did anyways

New Injectors?
You like vco better? I've got know idea about poppin that's freak to me Popping at 320bar is better than 305? I dont think I get near 14 towing. Though when our fuel bill is 4k a month it's easy to not care. Our big cam cummins gets about 6.

2010 T Steering Drag Link Adjusting Sleeve
Actually I think the tie rod ends are all the same taper. But older than 01 needs to ream pitman arm taper to match 01-13 taper. I could very well be wrong. I'm not 100% sure what taper is on 98-99 pitman hd steering I think you may be right. These will help, ruff stuff also has the correct reamer. But its spendy. Looks like the steering is only bolt on for 01 02 maybe 00. https://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/INSSTEER.html

Rolling through Craig's list see a s03 for 250. It's an older add he says he still has it. I'm like ****. I ask if I can take the programmer for a spin. Get it loaded on 9 and he rides with me. Get out on street and stand on it , I'm like **** I wasnt expecting that. Hes like what turbo is that it whistles he thought it was something cooler then a stock hy35. Pretty much roll around the block. Pay him and we go on our merry way. 7x09 injectors + s03 = fun

Nice. I priced the steering upgrade kit at dodge dealership they quoted me 850 bucks. I said thank you and walked out. That's a 500 dollar mark up over what we can order it for.

Transmission hangs in second
Pressure seems to be below stock. I dont like seeing that . I think idle should be 50-60 then climb to 90-100 wot. 20psi to me doesnt sound good. What is psi converter locked with your foot on the floor? I'd make sure the TV cable doesnt have any slack in it. Then I'd make sure at wot tv arm doesnt have travel left. If you can move TV arm more by hand at wot I'd tighten cable till it pulls the arm as far as it can possibly travel. This will ensure your building pressure as pressure rises as you push the throttle down further. I think spec is wot shifts at 2700-2800 less pressure will shift sooner more later

Homemade bumper
I cut rockers out and welded in a 2x8x3/16 tube on my jeep. I dont think ive i seen this done on a 2nd gen but maybe I've often thought about doing this on the truck. Mainly just for fun. If my truck was rusty I'd be all over it.

I feel that way about Luke's links. Bandaid on shitty joints. I agree the scissor steering does work. Mines still on at 292k. But it wont be going back on when there are better options when it's time to replace and trust me time time. I dont mind the tunning and modding to upgrade when it's time to replace and repair. Guys dont for get about the 98,99 HD or snow plow steering. I've yet to tie each tire together with a solid bar so I don't know what adjustments will be required. Not sure if I'll do the 03-13 upgrade steering or 98 99 hd steering they're basically the same.

What track bar is that. Any bump steer? That's a much much better steering then the scissor steering. Is that a mopar 03-13 steering kit or the moog. I've been debating getti g the moog steering ti save a few bucks

Ball&U joint / Wheel bearing replacement
Take your ball joints out of package on parts store counter. Make sure all stems are tight. If the stem flops around tell them you dont want that one. I did mine last winter. And had to cull one back while in the store. 5 years ago I changed driver side unit bearing then a month ago the passenger. Ran each side till it melted the sensor. Gota get my money's worth right. ;) All parts now days are junk, doesnt matter where they come from

New Front Bumper for the TOW-PIG
Sweet. I've been debating alot. On dedicated mig or multi machine like the miller 215 rebel215 or go dedicated and do a esab 235. Miller252. The vulcans have good reviews to hobbyists are stepping it up a notch latly I tend to play with sticks in the feild most of the time so I haven't gave a new mig machine much thought in awhile.

The good headlights
I spent 50 bucks on silver star ultra bulbs and have been impressed. I also polished grunch of factor headlight lense. I'm sure they dont compare to 300 dollar lights but made a huge improvement on my truck. Now I just need to do mod so lows stay on with the highs. https://www.amazon.com/SYLVANIA-SilverStar-Performance-Headlight-Contains/dp/B000M5UD1E

Homemade bumper
I love it looks amazing. I'd of only done one thing different I'd of used 1" thick shackle points cut through the bumper and welded inside to frame mounts. So the cant be pulled off. I love the looks and amazing build quality you put into it to. I really dig the added weight too.

Boost fooled turn buckled hy35
Towing for the first time since plugging in boost foother. 7x09 injectors have been running toasty had to peddle off egts on most all grades while towing even light loads. With heavy loads 10k machin 5k trailer your have really watch it on flat ground. Pulling the few grades from mtn home to Jerome Cruise is on at 1800rpm pulling 30lbs of boost on grades that are 3 or so miles long hottest I saw was 1100 before I'd be peddling of the maintain 1200 and easily saw 1400. On the way back theres a steeper longer grade. I'll see what it does there I expect 1200ish and more boost. So far this boost fooler seems to be working wonders on reducing egts. Though the little hy35 is really working. I'll be alittle heavier come back with metal on the trailer but not much heavier. I'm only towing under 7k

4k quadzillas tuning
How evolved is it to build a tune. With the iquad can you change tunes right on the tablet or phone. I'm looking Into the quad and not understanding how you guys are building custom tunes. Do you plug into the windows computer to change setting within settings Does the iquad tune the same as one that just comes with the pod that allows changes on the fly? In like how the torq tune says do not contact support regarding this tune. I'm very interested in the defueiling at 12-1300 deg
