Is propane worth it???

[matt_green]

I been lookin at propane kits, they are pretty expensive, anyone got propane, or knows if its worth it?

 

[Mike]

What if any other mods have you done to your truck?

 

[matt_green]

just a BHAF and 4 inch exhaust.

 

[Mike]

I'd stay away from the drugs until you have reached maximum potential with other mods first.

Oh buddy, you've got a long ways to go yet.
You can get huge power out of that rig without
having to try to blow it up with propane.
If you do want to run drugs, use water/****.
It's way safer to use, and cools, unlike propane.
If you are considering water/****, look into a kit from
snow performance. The stage 2 kit is what we're all running.

has anyone ever put a small filter on the front of the turbo? it seems like it would make the turbo louder. has anyone tried this??

 

[rubberfish]

Hi Matt, you already have what is to be considered
one of the two best filter setups already. If it's turbo
noise your looking for, pop out the silencer ring from the
turbo. The thing will srceam like it's ready for lift off.
The removal of the ring is a piece of cake. The only gain
will be lots of whistle, no power, no better economy,
just whistle. I have the funny feeling your going to ask
how to do it, and that's OK. That's what we're all here for.

Here man. I copied this from http://dodgeram.org
A silencer ring is a metal baffle placed into the turbocharger inlet to reduce whistle from the turbocharger. It is installed in Ram truck engines at the request of Chrysler. The silencer ring has no effect on engine output, EGT, or boost levels.
Removal: Remove the flex hose from the front of the turbo that goes to the breather. Just inside the turbo, you will see a snap ring that looks like a piston ring(charcoal color), very gently with a small flat blade screw driver, lift one end of the snap ring out of the groove, then continue to work around the snap ring, lifting it out of the groove. When the snap ring has been removed, you can easily remove the silence ring.

, the ring came off the first day i got it. im now trying to figure out how to turn my injector pump up.i pretty much understand the whole process of doing it, but in your opinion how hard is it to do?

 

[rubberfish]

He's already running one Kevin. And a 4 inch exhaust.
It's good to see you back here buddy.
But ya gotta start paying attention.
There's going to be a test on all this later.

 

[rubberfish]

What were you going to do? Fuel plate and star wheel?
Piece of cake. Do the boost elbow at the same time.
You'll be done in an hour or so if this is your first time
inside one of these. The second and third time are easy.

 

[matt_green]

yeah im just turning up the pump for now, then next month come the 370s with #10 plate.

 

[rubberfish]

Right now your just going to slide the
stock plate forward? How about taking
out the stock plate, grinding it into a #10
and then you're done in the pump until
you're looking to do a govenor spring kit.

p.s. If you don't mind driving a smokey truck,
you're going to love those 370's

 

[matt_green]

yeah thats a thought. your truck sounds sweet, whats your mpg with those 370's? im excited to get my hands on a set and finally see my truck smoke.
