    FASS Fuel pressure

    jwilliams, Thanks for posting. I installed the DPP pump (only) a couple months ago. Of course, I soon wondered about the pressure data you posted above. Nice to know pressure is good. By "throttling condition" did you mean to say that pressure stays @ 15-16 psi under WOT?

    Mopar Cummins Decal

    Cheesy. Don't uglify your truck with that sticker. I do like the rams head they have on the tailgates of the newer trucks.

    One less powerstoke out there...

    Actually, that's the new hip look. I recently had my frame bent that way. I think people really like it - all the comments and stares! Jealousy, I guess.

    3rd failure at changing pinion factor

    maybe not so simple I left the dealership last night thinking it would be done. Tech told me "When I went in, nothing was there", and further explained that the previous attempts had failed because they forgot to "apply" or "open" the new settings after the initial programming steps. So far so...

    3rd failure at changing pinion factor

    Three visits, two dealers, still incorrect speedometer reading. Why is this difficult? I needed to change the settings - speedometer, odometer, and trip computer - for my larger tire size of 285-65-18. These happen to have 634 revolutions per mile. The DRB tool is used to make this change...

    What made you go to TWINS?

    There are very good options available for single turbo upgrades for the 2004. 5 trucks. By "good" I mean that vendors understand the needs for durability/reliability, drivability, high power increases, lowering EGT's, ease of installation, quick spooling, etc. Having said that, I'm ready to...

    Competition O-ringing the head

    I would like to learn what this involves. Can someone refer me an illustration, or perhaps post something that will show where a groove is cut. I want to understand better why this is necessary for high intake charge pressures, and how it works on my truck. Thank you in advance for responding...

    "High Performance Fuel Delivery System"

    Thanks for reponding. Did some more reading yesterday on some of the fuel system products. Also came across Ryan Battelle's thread (started last October) about fuel system design. Clearly, much to learn on this subject.

    "High Performance Fuel Delivery System"

    Any have one of these installed yet? They are made by the F. A. S. S. manufacturer (Diesel Performmance Parts). This was recomended to me by a respected vendor on this site, after discussing my dyno results from this past weekend. He informed me that the stock fuel system is inadequate for my...

    Pictures of aFe Stage 2 intake, installed

    Price The listed retail is ... well, how do I say this? You should expect to pay a little more than thier previous combination of intake and downtube. This said, the system is not worth what I had to pay for it.
