Intermittent idle surge-increase
Thanks DF. I will have the chance to get the code reader this weekend. I drove my truck this AM and no issues as shown above. I am going to read up on the process for checking for excessive AC noise. There are some good threads on this topic. My check engine light is still on, and did not go out on the way to work, only 20 miles though. Thanks Alexio, I might give this a shot, see if it works.

Intermittent idle surge-increase
Hey guys/gals. I have been having this issue that comes and goes, mostly under very low throttle or idling. The RPM’s will barley move up maybe 200 rpms very briefly. My fuel pressure stays steady at 17 PSI. The below video is what I am speaking of. As you can see, and this is the first time this has happened, the check engine light came on. My dad has a scanner I can plug in to read the code, however any ideas at what might be the possible issue. Thanks. [video] I also just noticed my temp gauge surges as well and then drops to zero after watching the video.

I finally got around to putting these on. I opted to paint my U bolts as they were raw steel. Glad I decided to go this route as my stock U bolt lowers had lots of rust. I did have to get the torch out on both sides one side I had to cut the U bolt, the other side heating up the nut allowed the impact to get it off easily. Took me roughly an hour.

Do you run a lift or leveling kit with those? I assume no rubbing.

Pusher has a 12V and 24V version. Looks pretty sharp. Pusher 24V Intake Horn

Isspro EVA
Diesel Manor has plenty of pictures. I have the EV Mechanical fuel pressure gauge, on my 2nd one actually. I have a needle valve under hood to barely crack open as my first gauge got water hammer damage rather quickly from the valve being open too far. I run a SS braided fuel line from my under hood valve to the gauge, as every other option kept leaking. I could never get the compression fittings and air break hose to not leak. Diesel Manor

Nice history lesson on your truck. Looks pretty clean for being wrecked at one point. I like the below picture the best. I am going to get a set of wheels just like this when I am able to. What size wheel and tire are those?

Teardown and Rebuild
So would a 12 valve intake be required to run the 12 valve pusher Horn? I assume you suggested this as aesthetically it looks really good.

Glad it’s back in safe hands now. Some people! So the s&b was hitting the hood? It has crossed my mind to run one purely for looks.

Teardown and Rebuild
Dang, didn’t know it was stolen. That’s a bummer. Glad it was repairable. What intake horn were you running, wasn’t it an S&B?

2000 to 2002 Steering upgrade
What brand of t steering are you considering. I see a synergy brand, moog and a few others. I have ave heard good things about Synergy [url=https://www.vividracing.com/catalog/-p-151581227.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAh_DTBRCTARIsABlT9MZJAAWDStFbCdXNTlTBqDZw63glJ7DuBTwaT8gilHE8za0UF7GARn0aAog4EALw_wcB

Flex plate selection
I thought the same thing, being an aftermarket flywheel. Looking at Firepunk's flywheel it is rated as "capable" of holding 1200 HP. However it does have the tangs that showed so much slop in the above video. The goerend flexplate has the circle that fits the end of the crank which seems to have a much tighter tolerance. Looking at the one on firepunks website, the picture has some porosity in the welds! Firepunk

My order showed up today. Pretty impressed with the quality. Granted I’m just an hour away, still processed pretty quickly.- High Idle Switch install
Just curious, as warmer weather approaches soon. Is there a time or an ideal temperature where MPG mode is not effective, or will it always get better fuel mileage no matter the time of year when the truck is in MPG mode?- Dodge Off-road LLC
I just placed an order for the u bolt flip kit. I will let you know when I have it in hand. I wanted to drive to the store front, but seeing as I don't have a ton of time lately, I just ordered online. UPS was on $22 as well, so diesel would have been close to that I'm sure. I did email Danny and he said they have the u bolts and plate in stock, so should be no delay.- Dodge Off-road LLC
I have also read a few things online, and have seen where customers have to wait extended periods of time for their orders. This company is an hours drive away from me and they do have a store front but I have never stopped by. I need to order their u bolt kit but would rather pick it up in person. I will be stopping by at some point. Let me know how your dealings go. This is what I need. Mine is rusting from collecting dirt over the years.

Make sure your BHAF isn’t rubbing any of your hard lines. I had to put a piece of hose on one of my AC lines I believe it was as it was rubbing. Just FYI.- Crankcase breather
I got my fluids changed today and fixed my tee. The top part was 3/16 and the bottom section was 1/4 inch.- Crankcase breather
I am just now reading this, you guys/gals are funny- Crankcase breather

Yep, that’s the plan. Gotta get oil at oreilly’s for my truck and my wife’s car tomorrow anyways so I’ll put vacuum hose on my list. Still gonna do the breather mod,tired of the oil mess. Any idea what size vacuum hose?- Crankcase breather
I got home and was able to do a little more investigating. I knew I had put this hose end on more than once. I hooked the hose up and the vapor cleared up immediately. I am going to get a new hose end for the tee. I am still moving forward with doing the crankcase mod, to keep the front side of my motor clean.- Crankcase breather
Yep, that is a huge aspect, the turbo pulling the exhaust out and pushing air into the cylinders. I love this stuff. Good explanation, thanks. - Dodge Off-road LLC
