Upper Limits 26 MPG at 50mph, 25.3 at 55mph (so far) :{ With the Diesel prices going up and the future and looking like you will need a co-signer if you fill up. I decided to see just how much mileage I could squeeze out of my 99 RAM. I have done some radical things to her gearing with the...

:{ I just replaced my pump at 135,000. It was working just fine, I stopped at a stop sign and started out in to the intersection and thunk... . dead my Dodge just became one of the local landmarks... . partway into the intersection. No it wouldn't start or do anything. Pushing one of these out...

Right on! Love my souped up Diesel. It has a 2. 26 rear end ratio with all the tyrannies in high (8th) I don’t know how fast it will go, it will go to 120mph in old 5th and felt like a Locomotive as it climbed up there. If I ever get the setup right and I’m crazy enough to see what 3000rpm...

The thermocouple is pre and at 55 it is running 500-800F actually I drop back a gear where the engine seems happy. In 8th 65 is 800-900F 1000F on hills. If it starts to lug I downshift to 7th (old 5th). Thanks Mike When I was running the old setup I got my best milage at 1450 since I have all...

I Installed a Volant complete with its box about a year a go and it has performed great. I had a K&N filter insert in the old Std box before and I could tell a diference in turbo spin up. It was a lot more responsive. It draws the air from the outside duct above the right wheelwell. I bought...

I have a 99 24v with 135,000 on it. I installed the Westech Fuel pressure gauge in a three guage piller along with the duel trans guage and EGT/Boost about three months ago and the old lift pump reads 12 pounds at idle. I am always paranoid about the pressure and monitor it all the time. I agree...

I would like to put a larger Turbo on to get more power and maybe cut down on some of the smoking at cruise. However I need power at the low-end since my Cummins is happily idling down the road at the speed limit. Can anyone recommend a Turbo and another chip to stack on top my Superchip. I...

Most aftermarket bumpers are powder coated and it looks good for a while but it is far to brittle to hold up under rock chip damage. I had to take off my bumper, sand blast it and repaint it. I used a high zinc undercoat and then the spraycan beadliner Walmart sells in their automotive. It is...
