Southern Mississippi Here

Just changed mine last weekend. Filter is located up near the front passenger side of the motor. it can be loosened through the front right wheel well. then reached from underneath and un screwed. when I did mine it didnt drip a bit.hope this helps

BHAF!!It's the only way to go in my opinion! K&N let too much through. BHAF is a true paper filter that is good for many many miles! It's not about mileage or responce as much as it's about CLEAN AIR!!! It just plain WORKS! Keeps ALL the Nasty's out of the engineJG

Well alot has happened since I disappeard of the face of the earth. But let me say I have popped in from time to time just to see what's going on. This site has always been near my heart and Great Bunch!! Hat's off to all of you. First off Big Red is back up and going. Yes it was the VP that was bad. I purchased an SoHo from the good guys at Mumau Diesel In PA. Talk to Jeff there if you need a good quality VP! They are the greatest. I also installed an AirDog to replace the original Holley Blue I installed many years ago. In my opioion I like the airdog but the cheap draw tube mod they have you do gave me a fit! It's a sucky setup. If you do get an airdog don't use the parts that comes in the kit. I suggest a real draw tube and bung. Started a new job so that's why I haven't been on much and the real reason to get the truck running again. I travel all over the country now. Haven't been home since 15 August. Love the job and the money is really good too.I just took an 1800 mile trip in 2.5 days from Dayton Ohio to Humbouldt Iowa to pick up a new trailer for work and haul it back to Harrisburg PA. Big Red ran great. This is where I have to pipe up for Geno's Garage! I bought one of their emergency kits some years back. Long story short; I'd still be stuck on the side of PA Turnpike if it wasn't for their kit. The belt Idler pulley took a dive this morning. their kit had a new pulley and belt. 20 minutes and I was back a running. Thank you Geno's!!!Also If any of you guy's need an 01 Auto ECM PM me. I have a spare that I'm planning on putting in the for sale section soon. I know it's good and have tested it. it's just sitting under my seat collecting dust and would love for it to have a good home. PM me if your interested.Also I started the 2Cycle additive. Want to save the vp for as long as possible. However I follow the 128:1 mix but I started to see my Fuel pressure drop as much as 5 psi. Anybody had the same issue? I stopped the 2 cycle for a few tanks and PSI is dead nuts on back at 15 -16. Let me know what you are thinking.JG

Well I know it's been a while on this problem and work and travel has keep me busy. Sorry. I found an ECM from a guy on another site and bought it from him. It was a good NO CODE ECM from a running 01 Dodge Auto truck. Sam year and model as mine. In Fact the date code on the ECM is only 2 Months newer than mine. Finally got to install it today. and Guess what? NO I TOLD YOU SO's!!! The same Issue is still there. DOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!. All things being equal The Dreaded P1689 Code leaves little wiggle room. DEAD VP!!!! So I guess I'm in the market for a VP now if Anybody has one they want to unload. Thankl JG

Meeting them tomarrow at 8 am, I'll take all your suggestions and see what they say. let you know how it turns out JG

Made it to Utah today, looking forward to getting with the gang at Edge. I'll set up a day tomarrow. Let ya'll know how things go. JG

I'm not knocking Amsoil cause It's a great replacement oil!!! Just make sure that it's ATF+4 complient if you are on your stock tranny. If your tranny has been gone throughand the tranny shop used aftermarket clutches that are dextron conplient, only then you can use dextron. If you put dextron tranny fluid in a stock tranny you will cause premature clutch failure.

do a search on Ebay for holey blue. You'll get a whole list of them. as far as hooking them up, I used the hot wire off the lift pump to feed the power to the holey blue. the stock lift pump is controller by the ecm through a relay. so if the stock lift pump is running the holley blue also runs. make sure you use both pumps or bypass the stock lift pump all together and go straigh to the filter from the holley blue it's your choice.

Hope this helps, The rear drums are pretty straight forward. here is the section out of the manual for you to look at. JG 2001DodgeRam drums.pdf

So for all of you I am starting this thread to compile any questions, suggestion, concerns, you might have to pass to them and gain insight to their future product to pass on to you. Please Respond here with your lists by Tuesday Nov 9th am so I can get it to them and I’ll respond back after my Visit. Thanks JG

Tomarrow Night 7pm Mountain Time Then?????

This much I know for sure Any pressures above 22 -25 psi you will see problems starting the truck when the Temperature outside rises. It may take as long as 30 sec's of cranking to get the truck to fire. It has something to due with holding the shutoff solenoid closed when High pressure hits the internals of the vp44. So If you have hard start condition in warmer 75* - 99* ambient air temps try to keep vp feed presure below 22 psi. Or install a cutoff switch to your secondary fuel pump start the truck and throw the switch back on.

Here She is !!!!

ROFLMAO!!!! Yea Side mirrors are the key!!!! If you can lick backing up only useing your side mirrors you can put that baby just about anywhere. when I did mine MANY MANY moons ago it was with a farm truck. My boss put me in that thing and told me to back that sucker all over and around the 400 acre farm laneways. I'll tell you what buy the end of the day I could back that thing better than I could go Forward LOL LOL LOL

The only problem is I spent half the day calling various Places for just that. Being the economy it is they all just want to sell me an ECU or Sell Me a VP44. They all come up with line that it's too exspensive to bench test these 2 Items and if they do they can't garuntee if they can find a problem or not. Even the dealership want's me to bring it in so they can throw their computer on it and perform the same tests that I have so they can make a quick $150 buck. It's frustrating!!!!!

What I did is got an 1/8 90* brass compression fitting from Home depot and drilled and tapped the air horn going into the intake. I see most people do it this way and I've seen others do it the ways Michael has it. It you do it his way use (I Beleive) a 3/4" to 1/8" brass reducer and a 1/8th " brass compression fitting to hook your tubing up to.
