i think the BHAF with a surface area almost twice to three times that of the stock filter size would flow the same amount of air or more than a stock size oiled filter. and because of the greater surface area on a BHAF the negative pressure exerted on dirt particles would be far less. the air velocity going through the BHAF media would be far less per square inch. so the bigger the better!

when i made mine i did it so the down tube on the backside screws in to the tube running along the engine. unscrew the downtube from engine bay and yer good to go. had it on for 2 years or so now with no issues the reason to run it back behind the engine is so you dont dump oil out on steep downhills (greater than 22 deg down IIRC)

i had to put a 5/8" chunk of steel in the trackbar box on the axle side as the hole got wallered out a bit and was causing play. now its tight in the box.not sure what the fix is for it though

not me, its covered in snow and cold out lol but here is one from the net oh and when you rock the steering wheel it only takes a gentle rock, not full turns or anything to see play, you just want to put steering pressure on the components and not squish yer hand.

i locked myself out of my 1500 a few years ago... 30seconds and a coat hanger was all i needed. these trucks are easy to unlock

here is what i did...1 ton steering upgradereplace track barsteering box bracenew ball jointstighten steering boxwhat i plan on doing3rd gen trackbar upgradered top steering gearfirst have someone move steering wheel back and forth with engine running and look at where play is, even the slightest play will give problems that you wont be able to see to carefully put a hand on things and feel what has slop and replace it.

this mod saved my engine a few time on steep downhills up here in the rockies offroading. before i did the mod i lost a gallon of oil on a 30-35 deg or greater downslope. luckily my edge alarmed and i shutdown before damage.if you offroad and do steep descents i highly recommend the mod

$90 a piece for spicer ujoints on front axle..??? i got my solid joints at advance auto for about $20 or so each and they are the heavy duty ones. look elsewhere yer getting shafted

wonder if you need to modify the hood at all to get it to fit? perhaps a air scoop?

some days i have rough engagement other days its smooth. you are %100 u put the clutch disc in oriented properly?

theres yer problem... a dent in the door!

cheaper to drop a turbo 4bt into a 1500. but nice to see it took years for dodge to put a diesel in the half ton.:banghead:

i love turbo whistle!

i have the boost elbow that came with the juice and with rv sticks i can get it to push 35 but i have it set to defuel at 30

$85 for the rebuild kit and a weekend is all. i need to do mine if i can find time as brutus is my only vehicle

i paid about $57 at a local napa

i didnt change tubes either, just cleaned them up with nonmettalic scotch pads, blew them clean and put them back on with new orings. no issues since

i tried it but if you get it wrong it dont feel right

bout inline with mine

i cracked the DS pto cover open to drain, then after replacing clutch and refilled with extra fluid through the shift tower, i noticed a small drip pool everywhere i went until i sealed the tower up.

get the cam and gear timed properly when you rebuilt it?

yeah i flipped out when i saw a puddle of fluid under the truck after clutch job... though a seal failed or the rear main i replaced failed. but was happy to find it was a unsealed shift tower

coming out of what flange? when i did mine i had no leaks until i put it all bak together and the spray from gears was wicking it through the seams of the shift tower. took the tower off and put gasketmaker on it and now its dry

worked on a farm in iowa, farmers are some of the best people you will ever meet and know.

the exhaust valve opens as it does for the following... when the piston compresses the air, energy is absorbed in that process thus slowing the vehicle down by means of compression, if you dont release that compressed air it will work against the piston returning most of that energy back to the vehicle. think of an air spring. when the pressurized air is released before it can return that pressure back to mechanical energy the effect slows you down for the next gulp of air to compress, slowing the piston down then released before rebound edit:just realized you figured it out lol
