I have had that with my 04. 5 but only with the troublsome Triple Dog loaded. Same exact thing only loaded under power and it feels like the motor just lets go. In totally stock mode it shifts very strangley with a lurch into OD. It always has since day one and dealer says no problem. Yea...

Well it didn't happen today. Just to recap. I turned tow/haul off so it shifts into O/D normally. I didn't drive that much like I did the other day. Thanks for the info. I just wonder if there is any answer for it. Is it ECM programming or a weak transmission? Who knows , I guess I will have to keep...

Yes I am actually. I shifted manually al the way home but it jumped pretty hard from 2nd gear up. Is this something you have had happen? Thanks.

Just lately towing around 9000-10,000# gooseneck,TriDog on tow/econ, the transmission tries (I think) to shift way too soon into higher gear. This causes major loss of power and an awful waste gate burp. Only happens after an hour or so of city towing. Gauges read: Pyro max 700 Boost max 25...

There seems to be a few new boxes out and I wondered if anyone has heard of the DR Performance Predator. Is there any late opinions on who makes the best overall box, keeping EGT's in mind? I am looking at all of them. The Bullydog also looks interesting and the Juice gets some haters. Any...

Not sure about warranty either though I don't know what the gripe would be between an aftermarket airbox and taking out the silencer. I took mine out and did'nt notice much more than a little more turbo noise. Two weeks later I put in an Airaid Quick Kit and actually did notice better pedal...

Funny1 Now that was funny Gary! :-laf

My humble opinion. I have welded for 20 years now and while I have only welded on a couple of frames, I have always been told not to. Also the frames I did weld on for blown out shock mounts or steering box mounts on poorly lifted trucks all got worse over time. Frames as far as I know in...

Not feelin' so bad. Thanks for all the response. I am getting a real balanced outlook here. And yes Rash that spreadsheet would be real cool. I am a major gadget geek. I will make sure my email is on my profile for you. I still feel stupid for not resetting my overhead sooner though. Everything...

Burn hotter. My fleet dealer that I bought the truck from said it was his understanding that the 04. 5 changed midyear because the 04s were having a hard time passing California emmisions. He said they were not burning hot enough and in the process the HPs and torque went up. How that is done...

Got it! I was editing my truck profile, not the sig. Sorry. :-laf

Thanks guys. Hay PJ, I have to agree with you on the very positive thinkers. Also I have done my truck sig. but it doesn't seem to be showing up. Any way thanks for all of the insight from you folks. I will drop my RPMs a bit and see how it goes. I didn't know anything about resetting the...

So you think 70 is the magic number? I'll try anything once. And yeah, I worked for a company in Huntington Beach for three months doing a job for them in San Diego. Right about John Wayne airport at 3:30 P. M. was a parking lot. Amazing! Thanks for the reply.

Pardon me if my post comes out twice. I just got my name and password today! I have been on the site numerous times in the past as a guest reading and I love this site. Lots of great people with great ideas. Anyway, I have about 8000 miles now and I have shown 12. 3 MPG for a long time. I...
