I have passed this tip on to several people. When drilling the exhaust manifold, tape the exhaust outlet almost closed. Leave a small hole for the exhaust gas to exit but enough restriction to create back pressure. Drill and tap the hole with the engine running. Have everything ready, it only...

Thanks for you detailed response. I have tried to contact EZ for their comments. No response to my e-mail to them and I haven't been able to contact them by phone yet. Number is always busy. My 5th wheel is approx. 13. 2K and I really haven't had a problem, even on tough hills (mountains). Just...

Now you really have me confused!! I see you have a "SO 5 sp". Man that really leaves me warped?????????? Really, everyone, thanks for the input. The guy did take it to his dealer. Of course it wouldn't do anything bad in front of them.

I'd like to know that too. Also, how did you read them in 3 minutes?

A friend has recently purchased a new 2005 2500 Diesel with auto xmiss. He is not a member yet. I told him I would ask about his problem for him. He has a problem with the accelerator (throttle) sticking. He has to shut down, coast to the side of the road and wait awhile. Doesn't seem to matter...

Les - you are concerned about additional towing power. I too want to consider Edge EZ for the same thing on my 2003. However, Edge's information in their add confuses me. I sent them an e-mail about this and have not gotten a return. Here is what they say, copied from THEIR info. The Edge EZ...

I installed the three gauge Autometer package last summer and used a tip from the internet. I offer it to you as a suggestion. Tape your exhaust outlet almost closed with duct tape. Leave a very small opening for exhaust to exit but closed enough to build up backpressure at idle. Drill the...

I have an '03 3500 with the auto and 3. 73 gears. I tow a 13,200# 5th wheel. We have towed it about 10,000 miles and have had no problem with using overdrive. Even in the summer heat I rarely ever see over 180 degrees on the trans. temp. gauge. I do shift down manually on almost any hill...

I am truly sorry that you think my gauges look like CRAP!! Everyone I show the truck to seems to like them. Here, all along, I thought they were nice too.

I installed three Autometer Gauges last summer. Boost, EGT and Xmiss temp. in the Autometer Dash Pod. Great setup and looks like factory. Cost of parts were $265. 00. TIP: Worked great for me. Tape your exhaust outlet almost closed. Leave just a small hole for exhaust to exit. The back pressure...

Sorry about the lack of info. I filled out a truck profile and thought it would automatically tag to the thread. SRW truck with Air Lift air springs. I live in AZ in the mountains. We have many long, 6% or greater grades. More important is where I drive or travel to. Oregon, 8% twisty from I5 to...

Newbie questions. I bought my 2003 last year, used with 9000 miles on it. Well cared for in absolutely NEW condition. Purchased a new Mobile Suites 5th Wheel at about the same time. Loaded / pulling weight is about 13,200# which about max. out the truck. (3. 73 Rear end). We have towed the 5th...

I've tried to search for an answer but don't seem to have one immediately come up. Have exhaust brakes been approved for use on the 2005 Dodge Diesel? Thanks, appreciate your help.
