So someone got lazy. Does anyone know where I can buy the over the axle part and dump portion for a 4" exhaust? I need to get it out of the Right Rear Axle area. Thanks! Michael.

Well I have a different type of exhaust question. Just purchased a used 01 and the exhaust dumps right after the muffler, or resonator. In front of the rear axle. I can't imagine that this is good for the Right rear Brake assembly? Is this stock? Or is there a piece that is supposed to good over the Rear axle? It's a 4" exhaust by the way. Thanks Michael

One of the best ones that I heard was the 2 rednecks that hit a deer with their car and threw it in the back seat. Deer came too and bit joey on the neck. The callers question was do they get to keep the Deer?

Well I am uninstalling the edge to Smog the Truck. Took the Negative connector off and Yup the connections are dirty. Hopefully West Marine is open tomorrow and I'll get some Quality Zinc plated connectors. I have order a pint of conductive Grease that the Electrical contractors use. I'll liberally coat all the terminals with it, So is Zinc plated the best? The copper connectors that they have seem skinny. The Lead free one's look just Wimpy! Thanks Michael

Does Your 02 Have a Gauge or a light. IF only one wire then that is for a system with a Low Oil Pressure light, and a switch at the engine. The switch is normally closed until you apply more that 7 pounds pressure then it opens, if the pressure drops below 7 psi then the light comes on. The Gauges use 3 wires Ground, a return signal wire, and a 5V reference voltage. Basically your gauge in the dash is a 0 to 5 volt voltage gauge, and then it shows the voltage of the signal from your sensor as a reading on the meter. If the ECM needs to use it for math it goes through a Analog to Digital conversion and is turned into a number that the computer can do math with inside the computer. I hope that helps. Michael

Well Now I wish that I had not thrown away the Oil Pressure sending sensor. Especially that NAPA is getting $200 and change for one. And now that the Oil Pressure Gauge is working intermittently. The good news is that it is working intermittently with new sensor. Thanks I'll pull the loom and have a conversation with it this weekend. Thanks Michael

O.K. I've replaced the Oil pressure Sending unit and the MAP Sensor. So the Senors are on a separate loom? Looked like it was part of the loom by the starter. Sorry I didn't know to only buy OEM Sending units. NAPA are acceptable? The oil pressure gauge wasn't working until I installed a separate gauge, then it felt challenged and works intermittently now. So I suspect the wiring. What are the connectors for these sensors? Deutsch MetraPak? Missing the rubber gasket to the MAP Sensor and the Locking tab is missing on the truck loom side. Looking for replacements. Thanks Michael

Yes I read that last week. He replaced the MAP Sensor and the intermittent oil pressure gauge suddenly worked. I order a MAP Sensor, it showed up. I'll throw it at the problem first. Either way I have to lay across the top! So I fed it a MAP Sensor off eBay no difference. I did notice that the EDGE plug that plugged in there was missing the rubber gasket and that the factory plug had the Locking Tab Broken off. Are those Deutsch Metric Paks? The connections in the old MAP Sensor are Dirty! Thanks! Looks like the easiest way to get to the oil pressure and MAP wiring harness is to remove the Starter. Michael

Thanks Mike I had the Schematic from you earlier. I see where it says it is by the Oil Pressure Switch. I'll lay on the Motor tomorrow morning and dissect that part of the harness. If it looses MAP Sensor I'll bet that it has some heartburn. Michael

Thanks that is what I was looking for, which is cause and what was Effect. Looks like the orange wires for the MAP Sensor and Oil Pressure Split off? Anyone know for sure? Thanks Michael

O.K. Well the Oil Pressure makes sense as the Oil Pressure gauge works intermittently at best. I purchased an external one. And that scared the dash gauge to work but now it is intermittent at best. So what could cause all this at once. Or are these the results of the engine stopping, while the key is turned on? Thanks Michael

Yes sir was Scanning as you read. Listed above. Coughed twice then we did a couple of nice power runs up to 80. This thing feels like a 13 second ride down the 1/4 mile. :- ) When it Runs I'm HAPPY!!!!

So this started just after I got the truck home. I moved from one driveway to an other and the engine stopped. Restarted moved and stopped. Then ran fine. Week later and 1,000 miles into my get to know each other trip and the truck starts hick upping on the freeway going through Portland after 3 hours of driving. Did it for 7 - 8 times, not in conjunction of the bumps in the road or anything. So we are a week later and it starts hic-cuping on the way to Ace. Engine just dies then runs again. 17 PSI on the FASS to the VP. No Water in the Water Trap. Does it for 8-10 times. Just like you bumped the switch off then on again. I've seen things about data logging the edge is still connected, does it have an data logging capacity? I'm pulling it off this weekend so that I can get it smogged next week. Checked Codes and P0521 P1693 P1765 P0622 Thanks Guys Michael

O.K. Things are getting better now. One of the gentlemen over on the Smarty Tuner forum I was told to Adjust the variables with the Smarty. So I played with the Variables and got the #3 tune much more driveable! We are on to something. Thanks ALL Michael

Try the edge with low boost fueling set at 1 and roll into it. Putting timing at 30* really helps. I was going to get the quadzilla and hold off on the Wiretap. They pointed out that the previous owner had done the wire tap with the edge. So I am committed no matter what I do. Thanks for the suggestion but I am done playing until I get new shoes. These are what I call may Pops and I don;t need to limp home especially if I'm out screwing around. We took my son to preview colleges and I'll never forget the 4x4 Dodge that blasted past us, we had intermittent light rain. Apparently he forgot physics as we found him in the ditch a few miles down the road and that Beautiful truck was trashed. All the horse power in the world won't help you if you can't get it to the ground. On another side note, when I visited the local Turbo shop last night and they said that, when they had 4 customers lined up for the chassis dyno that I could bring my truck over and they would look at it on the dyno. Boy and I thought that the Boat was expensive!! I Can't wait to find the weakest link on the Dyno! Not!!!! Michael :- )

Well that is interesting. I just checked the door jam and the truck came with 245 75 16. Imagine that Chrysler knew what they were doing! Is the Ratio still listed on a tag on the Pumpkin? I want to double check. Thanks Michael

O.K. Guys so I got tired of reading and went out for some Throttle time. I learned a lot I learned more today. I tried a #3 tune on the Smarty, and I read where someone had good luck driving it like they had an Egg under the throttle. SCARED the Crap out of me. As long as I didn't let it go past 1/2 throttle it would not put out Black smoke, it was making great, put you back in your seat, Horsepower! I have to go 17 miles to get a stock air horn so I can pass smog. I'll play with it some more on the way! Thanks! Michael

Hi Mopar1973man, have you done any calculations on the 4 speed atuomatics? Or did I miss something? I was running 1950 RPM with almost bald 265/75/16 and I need new shoes. They are wanting $1300 so I want to pull the trigger on the correct size. Thanks Michael

Cool Thanks! I have to get to work now. Learn more tonight! Michael

O.K. So now I need to learn what the numbers mean on Turbos. Is there a Turbo 101 anywhere? I'm going to guess that the first number is the Inlet Diameter and the Second is the Exit diameter for the exhaust, but the third might be blade count? I don't have a clue. Thanks Michael

Now that is sexy! Plus you don;t have to take your hands off the wheel. Lots to learn. Thanks again. Michael.

Ah HA a problem now that I am familiar with!!! Thanks Michael

The Previous owner has a switch installed that locks the converter in second for towing a hill. that way... well you know.. Michael

I was told 354 and the tires are 285 75 16. He was into going fast! I understand what everyone is saying and I appreciate it, about it not being Exactly what I wanted, but for a starting point it was good and I can always trade down. So I've seen one suggestion for injector / Turbo combo no wire tap. Daily driver and tower I like the 500 HP range. Any others? HI Me78569, I read your reply over there and that is why I moved over hear. I didn't what to ask Quadzilla questions on the Smarty forum. Bad manners. Thanks for your replies and advice. I'll probably be getting Godzilla V2 and Taking to the local turbo guy to see what trade value this Borg Warner and 250 HP injectors have, Thanks! Michael O.K. Still learning whats a VP Truck? Thanks ! Michael
