Thank you very much. I had absolutely no success in finding this information. Thanks again, John

Thank you all for your great advise. I am going to the scales and then use the chalk method to try and fine tune it.

Hi folks, I have searched all over for these specs and cannot find them anywhere on the web so help please. If anyone has improvements over the factory specs please pass along what has worked for you. The issue is front end tire wear on the outer edge of the Michelin LT265/70R17E1. Thanks in...

Hi folks, i just put a set of Michelin Defender LT265/70/R17 on my 2005 Ram Quad Cab short bed and I am looking for tire pressure recommendations from folks that have put some miles on them with good results. I mainly run pretty hard but empty. i previously ran 70 psi in the fronts and 55 psi...

Thank you for your reply. I am starting an 8,000 mile trip so I took the Edge programmer I had on it off. So you are correct in the assumption that it does not have a programmer on it.

The EGT on my 2005 Ram 2500 automatic has increased. Is there a "normal" EGT range for non-towing light duty or am I just worrying too much? I have a Westach Combo Boost/EGT gauge http://www.genosgarage.com/WESTACH-COMBO-GAUGE-BOOST-0-35-PSI_EGT-1_8-NPT/productinfo/WM-CG-8/#.VbEilf3bJus The...

None to date. The rebuild has not started. I will get some details out once they become available.

For all of you that provided technical responses to my original question,especially cerberusiam, thank you very much. My buddy has been in contact with Fred Swanson and is now on a path to success. Best regards, John

Can anyone give me the contact information for Fred Swanson?

He does some off road stuff, but nothing completely nuts.

Hi Folks, My buddy in Mesa AZ is on his 5th automatic transmission. I need some opinions on who makes the most bullet proof 48RE automatic transmission. Thanks for your help in advance. John

Ceberusiam - I chose the 25-ohm, 3-watt rheostat from Radio Shack for a trim resistor, what are you going to use? Thank you for responding to my post.

The pictures are a HUGE help!!! I have not gotten back into it yet as it has been raining for the past 2 days. If it is easier, you could email the pictures to me at -- email address removed --. I am going to purchase a 25-ohm 3-watt Rheostat to put in line with the light dimmer feed just...

Thanks!!! I was afraid that, that might be the case. It will probably work for the ground, but there will need to be 2 seperate power sources one 12V for gage power and one dimable for the lights.

OK, so here is another question. Should I wire the power for the gages and the power for the lights separately? Currently I attached the light to the pins on the gage for the power so they are wired in parallel with what will be the power to the gages. Thoughts???
