    3rd Gen Cruise Control Pulses going downhill

    Mine does it also,like others said with the smarty on#9 and 50hp injector tips its more noticeable. If my rpms are above 1700-1800 its also less pulse. One thing I think do think helped it was when i installed a 165 Airdog lift pump. I was wondering if other members also felt this helped it or not.

    2011 ram fuzion 405

    Like some have said the payload is reduced on the megacabs. But the front axle is only rated for about 5200-5300 on mine. On a CAT scale the front is like 5500lbs and rear only 3500lbs but mine has a ranchhand full replacement bumper and has the frame extended for a longbed. So I would scale...

    Eagle alloy 19.5 aluminum

    I think I have the same wheels you are looking at on my truck just search in the photo gallery "megacab longbed". I bought mine on ebay for 1450 with steel inside wheels and then 1200 for a set of cheap chinese tires(bad ideal). I have almost 100k with no problems. I wouldn't worry about the...

    Heard a Intercooler Rumor

    I swapped out a i/c on my 99 Ford to a 04 Ford. It did help a little 50-75 degrees only paid 60 dollars for so that was ok. But the 04 had plastic end caps something you dont want to put on a Cummins because its plastic and the boost pressure might be to high and bust the seems. But I havn't...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) FASS vs. Airdog

    I have a Airdog II 165gph pump. The pump and parts are quality parts, the instructions were fairly eazy and clear. My pump has the adjustable fuel pressure regulater so mine is set to 20psi. With my Smarty set on #9 i think it smokes alittle less the motor feels like it keeps pullling strong all...

    cp3 pump restriction

    I just put a Aidog II on my truck. When I put the threaded fitting into the cp3 pump I looked into the pump and there is a restiction port or hole. Its located at the end of the the threads about 1/3 the size of the openning at the top. My question is whats it for and if it needs enlarge how to...

    Replacing my 19.5's

    I have cheap chinese made 265/70/19. 5s with almost a 100k on them. You can use cheaper tires but I think the best way to to make them work is to have them shaved to truely make them round, centramatics and regular balancing weights. One of my tires still has a 6oz weight on it but its not...

    air dog 2

    Do you know how the pump got air locked? I just purchased a Airdog II 165 and was reading the instuctions were say to only prefill the water seperater filter and to air bleed at the cp3 pump do you think that is the best way? Also about how long did the install take I was going to block a whole...

    k&n filter

    I have a AFE stage II a good product but would say you would be better off to modify the the factory airbox and use a paper filter for ease of replacement and piece of mind. I don't feel like I got any more mpgs or power could just hear the turbo more. A CFM air intake is were I would recomend...

    turbo sputter

    Ordered me a AirdogII 165gpm pump from Matt Gilbert. Matt gave me a great price on the pump and extra parts I requested and was very helpful. Should be here any day now got excited yesterday when Buster Brown's truck pulled down the street but he didn't stop.

    New to me 1993 D350 dually

    A real good find I had a 93 blue and silver like that one but a 5spd manuel. Used it to hotshot the bucket seats held up great I believe better than the ones in my 07. As you probably already know the fuel mileage is great on the 12v and they sound like a regular truck with straight pipes!

    turbo sputter

    Thats always a good starting point I agree. I didn't change the fuel filter because I had replaced it about 3 to 4 days earilier but it is a 7 micron instead of a factory 10 micron. Fixing to go outside and pull the air intake tube off and check turbo for play. First day off in while so time to...

    turbo sputter

    The load was 2 stacks of trailers so the gross was about 20k plus. The turbo was surging it seemed because the truck was shuddering back and forth. Ok time next time I will try it with waste gate off.

    turbo sputter

    The elevation was in east and south Texas on a trip from Mt. Pleasant to Beeville. My Smarty was set with the wastegate on with a stock turbo. The max I seen with the wastegate turned off is 42PSI. I agree it does seem like the turbo was surging but boost was not jumping around. When I started...

    turbo sputter

    On my 5. 9 pulling about 15,000lbs the turbo sounds real choppy like its starving for air (afe stage 2) air filter is clean and restiction gauge is ok. This problem occurrs at 25psi boost, egts 1100-1250, about 1700rpms and in overdrive while the Smarty programmer is set on #3. I can turn OD off...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Fuel mileage and rickson wheels

    I have 265/70/19. 5s on my truck and it weighs 9,000llbs and still gets 16-18 in regular driving best ever was 20. I don't believe the 19. 5s hurt my mpgs any but the tires are stiffer and your ride is alittle harder but well worth it in my opiniun.

    Diesel Fuel Additives

    I use power service in the gray bottle for everyday use. It helps my mpgs by about 1-1. 5 increase and it raises the cetane rating 3-6 points. I usually add a 1/3 of a quart bottle to a fill up (25-28) gallons. I have only used the white bottle once its to prevent fuel gelling.

    06 Laramie front bumper

    Try shops that sell full bumper replacement bumps. When I put my Ranchhand bumper on they asked me what I wanted to do with the factory one I said you can have it. Wish now I had asked for some trade-in on it because it was perfert only 2 months old.
