    Shuddering with EZ

    Try locking out the OD until you reach about 50mph. Also, you need to maintain at least 1500RPMs while in lockup - this will keep the transmission's pump pressure up and might help with your shudder problem until you get a good TC / VB. ------------------ Will - -- email address removed -- - 98...

    Can the EZ do what is says it can?

    I'll have to second that with an AMEN! I unhooked mine after having it on about a week - needless to say, I pulled over about 2 minutes later and hooked it back up - it was like a slug on the low-end without the EZ! ------------------ Will - -- email address removed -- - 98. 5 3500, black...

    HELP!!! My '98.5 Truck is REALLY Dieing

    My 98. 5 had the exact same symptoms you are describing. It turned out the crankshaft sensor was dropping out. I could get up to around 50mph with no problems and then... . no power, bucking, snorting, blue smoke, and so on. Might want to suggest this to your dealer! ------------------ Will -...

    Turbo-Lag

    EMDIESEL - I remember hearing about the Turbo-dyne system. Sounded like a good theory but I doubt it worked well on high boost applications. Wonder whatever became of them? As far as the turbo lag issue, we have used CO2 injected into the compressor housing of the turbo to aid in spool up. This...

    kn air filter

    In reply to: I called K&N they said they don't recommend using this filter with a turbo... . That is total crap! Whoever at K&N told this needs to be fired! I have been using K&Ns for years on everything from ATVs to race cars. See my turbocharged race car and you will find a big 14" K&N...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) pumps, lines & whatnot

    Chris- The only problem I can foresee with the in-tank pump scenario is that most applications using an in-tank pump have baffling to keep fuel available to the pump pickup. I don't know if our stock tanks have this. What Holley pump are you referring to for the in-tank scenario? - Will

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) pumps, lines & whatnot

    I'm going to chime in on this subject even though I don't even begin to pretend being an expert on diesel fuel systems. The whole problem here is the injection pump scenario. When and if DC/Cummins gives us a common rail fuel injection system, the problems will be solved. This is where I am...

    Best Injectors for Towing

    OK. Thanks for the input so far. The next upgrade WILL BE THE transmission - before anything else. The goal is to be able to tow the load like it's not back there (got to get to the racetrack on time!) and to have fun sucking the doors off the Powersmokes and Dura-Maxipads in the process. My BOMB plan...

    Best Injectors for Towing

    The transmission is next on the Bomb to-do list BEFORE anything else. I can tell that the stock converter is already having a bit of a time handling the EZ.

    Best Injectors for Towing

    Any of you gearheads that tow have any recommendations for injectors? My rig is my daily driver and weekend tow truck. I tow a 38ft triple-axle gooseneck tipping the scales around 12000# loaded. My current mods consist of EZ w/ boost elbow, K&N, and gauges. EGTs are around 900max right now with...

    Custom Dually Wheels????

    Does anyone know of a good source for some custom dually wheels. I once saw some SEC "Bad-Boy" Dually Wheels - would like to look into getting a set but can't find them anywhere! Any help would be appreciated!

    Where to get Fuel Pressure Gauge Kit?

    Can anyone tell me where to get a good fuel pressure gauge kit - preferrably one with an isolator. I want an all-inclusive kit if possible so I don't have to run around finding fittings, etc, etc.

    What's the difference in 98.5 and 2001?

    Can anyone tell me EXACTLY what the differences are in the engines on the 2001/2001. 5 vs the 98. 5. I have a 98. 5 and may have the opportunity to get a new one with lower mileage. Seems like a lot of people prefer the turbo on the 98. 5 over the newer ones outside of the HX40...

    Silencer Ring

    In stock form, you won't hear a huge difference - mainly what you are describing. But if you add a K&N filter and turn up the boost with say the addition of an EZ w/ boost elbow, you will definately hear it - if not, drop by your local Belltone dealer! ------------------ Will - -- email...

    Silencer Ring

    The silencer ring is located in the turbo on the compressor inlet. Take off the hose going from the airbox to the turbo. You will see a ring inside the inlet held in place by a snap ring. Carefully pry the snap ring out using retaining ring pliers or a small flat blade screwdriver and the...

    New transmission

    Does anyone know how much a new auto transmission is from DC for a 98. 5 3500 2wd? Mine has 95k on it. I have made some modifications and don't feel like the thing is going to hold up as I tow a 38' gooseneck weighing around 12k#. Talked to Bill K. @ DTT and he advised me NOT to do the TC/VB with this...

    Has anyone experienced this ?

    Could possibly be the crank trigger dropping out. I had a similar situation with mine. One day getting on the interstate, the truck got up to about 55 and then had no power. Started smoking and missing. Dealer repaired it under warranty. Sounds like yours could be in the beginning stages or it...
