24v hp/tq reliability question (truck building ?'s)
I'll try to answer what I can from memory. However, keep in mind, I have a dually, so my numbers would be about 25 hp less than yours with a similar setup. With; HX-40, BD3 injectors, Comp box, 4" full exhaust I made 425 rwhp / 899 ftlbs torque. Much more than you want. Stage 2 injectors...- Batman

Brake line replacement
Hello all, I just finished replacing all of the brake lines on my truck. Yeah, they rusted out. I cannot believe how badly almost every line was rusted. I had a small hole in one of my lines. I realized, while replacing the lines, that replacing just one would have been ill-advised. I was...- Batman

advice & whats it worth
Price seems to be rather steep. I noticed it has gauges, check fuel pressure at idle, be sure it is above 10psi. A couple things to look at, to see how much it has been modified: - drivers side of the engine, just below the intake horn, you will notice the injection pump (it has 6 hard...- Batman

'99 24 valve.....
53 castings..........I believe they had a core issue when they were made which caused one of the sides to have a thinner wall than they should have. LOL @ Whitmore great idea for the stock lift pump- Batman

24V Cold WeatherPowersteering Fluid Options
Why didn't you go with PS fluid? Anyway, the way I flushed mine is as follows: 1. Use a turkey baster to suck out as much as possible 2. fill with new fluid 3. start truck and turn wheel lock to lock a couple times 4. repeat steps 1-3 until fluid looks like it is all new hth g- Batman

just bought 1999 dodge 3500 5.9
Welcome.......... 1St - you need gauges - minimum Fuel pressure and EGT - especially since you will be towing. Sweet spot is 1900-2200 rpm's, you get the best economy and you are right in the middle of the torque band. hth- Batman

injector reccommendation
sorry, can't help with the nozzle question, I've only changed complete injectors. Smoke, mostly depends on how hard you press on the loud peddle, and the lag of your turbo. I have BD3 injectors, they are a smokey injector, more so than other brands. (they are 100 hp) I can create a very good...- Batman

injector reccommendation
I wouldn't waste your money on getting BOTH a Smarty and an EZ. I've had both, and still have the Smarty. The EZ is a very good product, but, you have more flexibility with the Smarty. And, the Smarty allows you to do other things, read and clear codes, adjust for tire size, etc...- Batman
