I to run the towloc and BD brake and only use the green lite position when towing. I see no reason to use the red position as it puts trany in lock up. As a suggestion call BD and talk to Pat or Dave they are located in Abbotsford B. C. and can give you the answers you are looking for.

I had a problem with the original installer not following directions and setting codes. I was on vacation up there and they squeezed me in. (Remember your passport) I was quite impressed with their technical support team, Pat and Dave, and Blair the service manager. Pat and Blair solved the...

I went with BD, excellent product and very knowledgeable support team. As with any aftermarket product make sure you choose the install shop very carefully.

George, Did alot of research with trany shops and also talked with John Holmes at Carson Dodge. All said the same thing change trany oil at 15k, install a valve body and TC. I visited BD last week and they install hundreds of brakes on 04. 5's with the towloc. Bought a valve body which is being...

Frank, Just installed BD with towloc on my 04. 5 48re and love it, gross out at 21,000 really worked nice through passes in Oregon

After many months my pyro when shutting the engine down went clockwise when the key was turned off instead of counter clockwise. Any members out there ever had this problem? Does it mean bad gauge or probe? :confused:

The correct method for installing teflon tape is to wrap the direction of the threads three times making sure the first three treads are covered. Pipe dope, or thread sealant such as Rectorseal or Gasoila is first stirred then can be applied over the teflon tape. Use sparringly, then apply and...

I'm completely stock except for gauges, I run I-5 to Seattle 4 times a year and also pull Donner. At 17,500 lbs I can easily reach 1400 degrees, and would probably go higher but using common sense I take my foot out of it and bring down the temp. Regardless, weigh your rig and your trailer...

Let's take a look at this in common sense mode. Load your truck as if you were heading out for a weekend, and head to a scale. We are looking for "wet" weight which is full of fuel,driver,passenger,kids,dogs,everything you put in that truck will be sitting on the scale. More than likely you will...

Use the gray matter between your ears, take your foot out of it.

I started this thread with hope there would be an easy repair. My 1998 CTD seats broke down and I repaired them from a members great article in the TDR. After the fix they were the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in. I will disassemble my 04. 5 drivers seat this week end and see if I can...

I can't believe how uncomfortable these seats are. After a good 8 hr day driving, my legs ache from the seat pressing against the back of my legs. On my 98 I removed the cushions and re-stuffed thanks to a members article in the TDR. It seems the fella's at Dodge cut some corners and shortened...

Mad Mike, It would be the middle port.

The tapped port on the side of the trany is the trany oil temp on it's way to the cooler. Go to your dealer, ask to look at the service manual and read it for yourself.

Use existing middle plugged hole, passenger side, works great.

BCutts I really didn't have the time to drop pan and install senser so I went over to Elk Grove Dodge. I was able to go back into shop and talk to the trany mechs and they had a 48re on the bench. With their trany manual and the benched unit I was told the 2nd plug back from front was the...

BCutts, You stated you mounted your trany temp in one of the ports on pass side of the 48re. I assume you mounted it in the middle of the three ports available which Dodge recommends. You should be aware this port will see a max of 260 degrees and is also the high trany temp and you may see 300...

Thanks for the info, I have talked myself into the Phantom series and the above the mirror mount.

The Boost gauge for the 04. 5 is it a mechanical or electronic gauge, and how is the Isspro for night time illumination?

The truck manual on the 04. 5 states that chains should not be installed on the front tires of the 4x4. Have any members used cable chains on the LT/265/70 R17 front tires? Encounter any problems?
