    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission rough ride improvement

    I've got Bilsteins on my 3500 and they are nice, but firm. I've got an ARB Sahara Bar on the front, and it still rode rough on the dirt roads. I put 5 stall mats in back from the local farm supply store. They are thick rubber mats about 6' long (I think) and fit nicely between the...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Tapping into bright lights circuit for driving lights relay?

    We did figure it out after some diagnosing. Definitely a different circuit than we were used to. Thanks! Dirk

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Tapping into bright lights circuit for driving lights relay?

    Anyone know where the bright lights circuit is for the headlights on an 01 3500? We're installing some IPF driving lights tonite and wanna tap into the brights circuit for the signal for our relay. Thanks!

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Need help- VP44 mounted fuel pressure gauge

    Thanks guys. Dave: The FASS system is installed. We installed the fp sending unit into the FASS system. (It has a gauge port. ) Since we by-passed the stock LP and filter, I'm thinking the fuel pressure should be pretty close to the same at the lift pump as it is at the FASS gauge port...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Need help- VP44 mounted fuel pressure gauge

    Hmmm... . I got an e-mail notification that there was a response to this thread, and it's not here. :confused: Anyway, now I'm thinking that it might be better to mount the sending unit right at the FASS. Anyone done this? Also, how cold does it need to be outside before the factory fuel...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Need help- VP44 mounted fuel pressure gauge

    Hey gang, I'm installing Autometers new 0-30 FP gauge and FASS system. The gauge is electrical, and it looks like the only way the sending unit is going to live is to not mount it on the engine. I want to run a fuel line from the VP44 to a remote mount for the sending unit on the firewall...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Hood scoop/Airbox/BHAF

    What do you think about this? I've got a fairly flat scoop off of a 69 Super Bee. I'm thinking I'm gonna mount it on the passenger side of the hood to feed the BHAF with fresh air. I wanna fab an airbox that will be pretty close to sealed to the hood and add some insulation to shield it from...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) BHAF mounting options?

    Got the BHAF for my 01, and I'm looking at mounting options. I searched and didn't see a whole lot. I know a number of folks are just laying it on the fender, or making some sort of cradle from the airbox studs. Is anyone using an AFE or other mount/guard set-up for this? I'm thinking about...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Newbie questions- EGT's? Noise? Mods?

    I'm eatin' all this up. So, what's the story on the BHAF? Is it paper? Fit in the stock airbox? If so, why is it better than other paper filters? I may try the AFE proguard7 though. Is the filter area on the AFE cone filter set-up much larger than the AFE drop-in? How 'bout a pre-filter on...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Newbie questions- EGT's? Noise? Mods?

    Thanks guys. We kind of thought the u-joints may be suspect, so we're changing them and the carrier bearing out tomorrow. May not all need to be done, but I'll feel better towing that much weight. The trailer is a 40ft tandem dual heavy hauler. It's a beast... I did do the little elbow...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Newbie questions- EGT's? Noise? Mods?

    Hey gang, new member here. My first diesel- Hope you can help. I've got an '01 3500, 5speed, 120k miles. Pilot bearing went out, so we put in a SBC Con OFE clutch. Only other mods are Stock airbox modified, Edge EZ, 4" exhaust and 2 gauge A-pillar pod with pyro and boost gauges. My questions...
