    300K mile club (new member here)

    I hit the big 300K club yesterday! Whooo Hooo. Some say these Dodge trucks are no good, some swear they walk on water, I'm somewhere in between on that. It's been a great truck so far and I'm the second owner, first was a dealer demo gig for it that put 8,000 miles on it. I did all the rest. The...

    over night change in trans, no rev/upshift

    OK, this is bizarre... on Friday night I drove home and parked the truck, everything ok. Saturday morning I go out and head for town, I'm moving about 1-2 mph (Yep slooow) and reach up to the gear sheift lever and manually drop it in LOW, the truck comes to a skidding stop! Locked up tight...

    lamp out (bing) PLEASE STOP

    don't panic yet, I had a tail light bulb get corroded on the tiny wire contacts and it drove me nuts for a month until it was completely dead and I was able to spot it. Go check the bulbs first, you might be lucky. db

    Stacks???

    D.I.Y. ok, I know all the retail dealers and installers out there would love to sell and install them for you but keep in mind, they're usually bolt on with u-bolts, and brackets, etc. which can be removed easily by someone hellbent on stealing them out of your truck if the chance came easy to...

I just did the original late one night with scraps I had laying around and these plates are actually laser cut, I was asking for waterjet 'cause it was...

    fuel pressure

    Holley "Black Pumps" At first you might think that because you have no idea what pump is in those "BLUE PUMP BRACKETS" but trust me, those are the Black versions that are rated at 140+ GPH. Anyway, I have a dozen different Holley pumps laying around and lots of crappy burned up pieces too, so I...

    Fuel Mileage - Be Honest

    I said believe it or not... It's the truth. The wear bars were starting to show completely across the tread but that just means they have about 1/16" left. Still drivable but I started to wonder now and again when I was loaded. The mileage is the best I can do, I certainly get passed on...

    fuel pressure

    lift pump gone, adapter on. I have an 03 ISB Cummins and decided to eliminate the lift pump because it's almost impossible to blow fuel thru the damn thing when they quit workin! The pump(s) I use are under the truck and push around 150 gph @ 15 psi. With those kinds of flow numbers, the lift...

    Fuel Mileage - Be Honest

    incredible now! OK, Believe it or not, here it is. Highway empty in the summer: about 26-28 @ 55-60 mph in the winter it drops a little: about 24-26 @ 55-60 (maybe the water on the road or something.) I run all synthetic gear lube enhancers in the trans, rear end, and fuel additives in...

    How long? Well, I started about noon on a Friday and rolled out to lock up all done and ready to roll by 7:30 that night. So... about 7-8 hrs. And... IT ISN'T ALUMINUM! This bad ass set of miter cut stacks are all 10 ga stainless steel from Turbo to tips. Glad you like them.:thumbsup:

    I'd like to know the same thing but for the 03 Ram 3500 model

    fuel pressure

    I think it's an older version also, 12V model. But even at that the lift pump should be able to hold steady if the filter is good. I agree with the bypass option thing opening prematurely. good luck.

    Whats up with Diesel prices? What do you Pay and Where?

    I used to shop around and sometimes plan to be empty when I went near a truck stop like Petro or ? but now here in Chico, Ca. (Northern Calif) I joined this stupid Safeway member club (for free) and if I go inside and drop $50. on groceries I can go across the parking lot to their fuel island...

    BBD 2007 sled pulling season video

    I like the video or the trucks pulling but not so much the band. Music is fine, but we need to hear those big baddd trucks too.

    mine tends to drop a bit when I have a dirty ol filter. Check that first... then if a new clean one don't fix the problem... grin and bear it.

    http://www.blackclouddiesel.com/Stacks/stacks.htm these are damn nice, but take a little while to get delivery. Personally, I didn't like all the fittings, clamps, nuts & bolts, etc. so I just made my own from some polished 6" stainless and TIG welded everything. Since I already had 4"...
