  1. the other battery is only about 6 mos old
  2. Thanks for the help. I read another thread and recalibrated my apps. I drove the truck about 12 miles with no issues. I will be driving 100 miles tomorrow and that trip should let me know if that solved the problem. It probably would have helped if I had mentioned I had to replace a battery due to a bad cell issue.
  3. I am experiencing what i think is the TC going in and out of lock up. This occurs randomly and anywhere from 40 at initial shift into OD and cruising at 70+ on the interstate in cruise control. The tach jumps approximately 250 for anywhere from 1 second to 20 seconds with no increase in speed. I have taken the truck to a friend (master mechanic) and he said it could be due to brake switch position. he adjusted the switch with no favorable result. He said that the position of the switch in relation to the steering column does not allow for adequate movement to remove the gap between switch and pedal. The next step that he recommended was a new switch that could be modified to close the gap. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions to try before I buy a new switch?
  4. Thanks for the info on the website for the quadzilla. any ideas on injectors or turbo upgrades?
  5. Yeah cost is a huge issue 3 to 400 dollars is a big deal and i really don't want to take huge swings at horse power and torque. I would like to see 100 hp and maybe 230 torque gains but i am also really interested in mpg. I can get the quad for 615 and the edge is 929.
  6. Been gone for awhile and didn't replace my lift pump soon enough. The vp finally bit the dust. I'm expecting a new one tuesday. installed a raptor a couple of months ago. I have the upgrade bug again. I'm trying to to decide between a Quadzilla Adrenaline Pulse V2 and the edge juice with attitude. anyone like one over the other. They seem to have very similar attributes. any advice?
  7. OK here is what i have gotten so far. go with a raptor rp100. stick with my stock fuel filter and add a edge 33000 at http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EGE-33000/All/. anything missing besides trans uprades?
  8. No I haven't ordered it yet trying to a feel from all the varied opinions concerning the add ons' ie injectors pumps, boxes etc.
  9. I am planning to puchase FASS T D08 095G next week. I have been talking to some friends with ctds and they have said there are issues with these systems at warm start up. anybody know anything about this occurence first hand?
  10. Pay now or pay later so to speak. so, I will purchase The FASS 95/95-1008 has been renamed the T D08 095G. I can't find the pressure info on this pump setup anyone know what pressure is? I am also going with Edge Products 33000 - Edge Attitude. Now will i be able to up my hp from stock (230) to 330 -350 safely without trans upgrades?
  11. "Bought my 01 with 56k in the ticker, Got the bombing bug and started tweaking. I found the the stock tranny would hold 419HP fairly well w/o toeing! Yes I could slip the stock Torque convertor at any time if I stomped on it but the stock tranny held for daily driving." This is from another thread and the confusion sets in once again. I would be happy at 350 hp which would be a 120 more than what I understand stock to be. If the stock tranny in the 01 is the same as the 99 it should hold up, yes? and I also see people lauding the holley blue fuel pump. Sounds good to me. I could replace the holley 3 or 4 times before I spent what the fass:spend: or raptor:spend: cost. Are they that much better or just the same in a shiny box?:banghead: Look I am not trying to spend a ton of money to make 100 hp and there seems to be an opinion per hp what's the skinny? as far as i have read rebuilding the trans for the gains i'm looking for isn't nessacary and $500 for a tq and vb seems like money wasted, i already have two boats and three kids so i already have tons of places to throw money away. I understand the lift pump and think that you can't really go wrong for $70.00. so am i just full of @#%& or what?
  12. I'm only trying to get to about 330-350 and so far i have removed the muffler and resonator. That is as far as I have gone. I am going to put a bhaf on tomorrow. I have been following alot of threads on this site and have added my first quart of 2s to my fuel today, which from what I have read will help a little with pump and with hp. I am pretty sure that i am going to go with a programmer/controller next as it offers all the gauges i would be looking for as well as moderate performance upgrades.
  13. I don't know if this the right place for this question, but I read in another thread that the turbo on a 24v has a small 9cm outlet and this could be replaced with a 12cm. a buddy of mine has a 96 12v which has a 12cm stock. He said that a 16cm is the ideal size anybody know the veracity of any of these statements?
  14. removed the muffler and resonator yesterday and am waiting for my bhaf. i am going to attempt to buid a box for the air filter and was wondering where the best place to locate the inlet from the outside air?
  15. Are you not a fan of any boxes or just the edge.... I was looking at Edge Attitude in-cab controllers.
  16. Edge Attitude in-cab controllers allow for on-the-fly power level changes, enable extra power levels on the Juice, and completely replace gauges. These units are capable of monitoring and displaying EGT, boost, engine temperature, engine load, transmission slip, and true speed if non-stock wheels are on the truck, as well as a host of other parameters. The Attitude controllers offer the additional safety feature of EGT back down, allow the user to execute 0-60 and quarter-mile tests, and provide adjustable fueling levels at low boost and during shifting to improve towing and drivability. Edge Attitude in-cab controllers implement a backlit LCD display screen, which allows for a clear reading of EGT temperatures and boost, among other readings. With the push of a button, you can switch power levels and have adjustability on the fly. I did some research with pricing of gauges and pods and this product is less than the total of what i would have to spend on stand alone gauges and accesories. good idea or not?
  17. Sorry for the confusion. I have a 99 2500 24v with a stock auto trans. I mistyped concerning the pump.
  18. I would like to upgrade the performance of my truck and as far as what i have been told i will only be able to try for around 100 hp without a new trans or upgrading the stock trans. I am going to start by removing the resonator and muffler. Then upgrading the p-pump and restricting the turbo wastegate as well as changing the air box and filter. the final part to my puzzle will be a box ie. comp edge. please let me know if i am leaving anything out or if there is another order in which to proceed.
  19. I found timbo's site. thanks for response:lmao2:
  20. I have heard alot about "Timbo" and the remarkable price of his replacement APPS. Is there a site to order from or contact info for him? Thanks for any help.:banghead:
