The flu has been around for 1,000’s of years. If there weren’t different strains of it once one had it they would never get it again because of immunity. And there would be one vaccine for everyone to take. Masks don’t do a thing to stop viruses. The virus will go right through it. There is no science proving otherwise. If covid was more deadlier than the flu the death rate from 2020 would have been much higher than it was over the past five years. My point is the flu just didn’t go away. It was payday for the states and local communities to mark someone from dying from covid. Hell my local Hospital decided to remodel the front entrance during the middle of it. Making people go through a detour to get in. My immediate family and I haven’t gotten sick in a couple of years. Vitamin C and Zinc. A couple of my buddies got covid. I was around them both. They got over it as well. Even the guy that invented the PRC test says it’s not meant to check for viruses. It’s meant to read DNA. When was the last time you got tested for the measles, small pocs , and so on and so on , because there are actually vaccines for that. Sorry off topic. Gonna be 106 here today.

Not this guy or my family. It’s actually an experimental drug for use under emergency authorization usage. Not FDA approved. I’m not going to be part of an experiment. The Moderna supposedly gives you 95% immunity. Funny how vaccinated people are still getting covid. Most people have a 98.9x chance of survival rate with their own immune system. Higher the younger one is. It’s been proven hydrachloriquin and Iburvectim (sure I spelled both those wrong) ,have been out for many years, and works to stop covid. Also funny how flu deaths almost completely disappeared. If you go on the CDC website you can see the death rate from about 2015-2020 were all close to the same numbers. But hey this is America. If you want to take an experimental drug and or wear a mask go for it!

We can’t even thin out the dead stuff here. Years ago they would. It’s like they have some sort of agenda. Climate change = summer, fall, winter and spring.

Our genius politicians here in Commiefornia let most of our rain water flow back into the ocean in the Bay Area. Most of our days have been 100 -111. We past a bond years ago to build more dams but nothing done. But we are 70+ billion in a train to no where. The only things that have rights here are criminals, illegal aliens and animals. Here in Ca they all can vote to.

Looks good!

Got any pictures of the seat covers installed?

Both mine and my brother in-laws ‘02 have the ground wires and lug under the drivers side battery.

Nether can I.

Can you post your tune? Did you see the Quad working properly on the truck you bought it from? You may need to send it to Quadzilla to be fixed. Is the map sensor plug snapped it properly from the Quad?

Any mods? What are the parameters of your tune?

My VP44 never through a code. The PSG went bad. Wouldn’t start after it hit operating temp. After replacing it the new one was bad without throwing a code as well. Would die when going from reverse to drive. It eventually got so bad it would die while driving when I let off the throttle. Was fun when making a turn with no power steering and brakes. The warrantied one has been flawless over a year now.

Even well over 100 degrees outside my WTS still lights up momentarily. I’m not sure if a faulty apps would cause the engine to die but if the voltage on the apps is randomly fluctuating that’s definitely a problem. When my stock apps went out. All I got was a dead pedal. Have you scanned the truck for codes?

Wire mods you say? So you have done the W-T wire mod? All grounds checked and thoroughly cleaned? I replace my alternator years ago with a Nations. I still had TC lock and unlock issues until I did the W-T wire mod. No problems since. Does the wait to start light come on instantly when the key is turned? The ECM powers the lift pump. So if the ECM is bad that could cause the lift pump to not work. Have you tested the apps with a volt meter to see if it ramps up smoothly when applying throttle? If it needs an apps I would recommend the Timbo’s. A lot of guys on here including myself have them. You can purchase it here on site.

Thanks Mike! Any thoughts on the fuel gauge?

Didn’t you recently have your ECM rebuilt?

I hate to say it but sounds like a bad ECM.

My son just purchased this truck. His first vehicle. Two questions. The transmission shift good until you smash the throttle. You have to let off slightly for it to shift. Is there an adjustment some where on the transmission or a bad solenoid possibly? Next question. When you first turn the key on the fuel gauge pegs back and forth a few times real fast then stays at empty. Is this a bad gauge or sending unit?

😂 no kidding! Most trucks I see with a high price tag from a used car lot say HO. Good ole used car salesmen!

A lot of it depends where you live as well. Someone will probably buy it too. https://fresno.craigslist.org/ctd/d/auburn-1998-dodge-ram-dr-reg-cab-135-in/7336643971.html

A friend of mine used to play bass in the band. I always get a kick out of it.

Hello welcome aboard!

This is the turbine wheel and housing I’m running on my hybrid with my turbo mounted exhaust break. https://www.ebay.com/itm/124046401103

What’s the Quad showing your engine load at idle? 0-2 the pop pressure is more than likely to low. Try moving your timing reduction load to 3 or 4 . I have mine set so it doesn’t drop below 13 degrees. 50% at 3 degrees.

Yes the W-t mod is a must do for these trucks. I did the pcm mod with the 5amp fuse. It blew a couple days later. Replaced it with the 7.5 and for about 2 years no problem but you should try the 5 amp first.

Like the saying goes. If you love what you do you never work a day in your life. You’re still young enough to start over. No telling what else it will lead into. Maybe the next Chip Foose? At the end of the day it’s your call but you’ll never know till you try.
