    D001: The First Development Truck

    It would be nice to get a list of the weak links that had to be addressed for the engine to be successful at this lowered power. So that putting that power back does not compromise the longevity of a first gen . Made it 350k mi before 4th split a planetary on factory tune, replaced with a 4th...

    CMEP Video

    "Prior to the reopening of the plant in January of ’92 as the Columbus MidRange Engine Plant, the B-series engines for Dodge pickups were manufactured in Rocky Mount, North Carolina" Vacant until the end of 1991. Dose this make my Jun 91.5 a an Ohio or North Carolina? IC, 7MM Injectors ...

    Possible manual transmission alternative

    $2k extra for beefed up inturnals . Was a nice bump from 92.5 to 103mph and cut 200rpm. My goal is 130mph on 300k +stock sealed VE45 pump. Next up is a SCS drop box with gearsets for 1800 - 2100rpm @130mph. I need to find a dyno near Butte Mt to find what the trans, QSV, hx35w12/6cm ...

    Possible manual transmission alternative

    Yes I'm aware there is a massive difference between 1st Gen and all the others. However the mid plate bolt pattern is the same. In 2017 when researching a stronger better raito OD transmission than the non lockup 46rh capable of handling power above stock, thermac crossed my sights. I...

    replacing lift pump this morning, got a question?

    I use yellow thread dope for all threads except potable water. Yellow is fuel/water ,lquid or vapor ,stable to 3000psi @-50 to +400f. The Teflon bits from previous owner should NOT have gotten past the filter(located between the 2 pumps) to cause any lingering effects in your injection pump or...

    Any Feedback on the BD diverter valve?

    650-700 depending on wind 2.5-3psi with full exhaust manifold wraped from head to down pipe. Was 750-800egt and 1-2psi before the wrap . I have found my EGT to be more of an indicator of boost than speed.. I can hold 60-80mph at 600-800EGT at 1-5psi. (0-3psi before the wrap)

    Any Feedback on the BD diverter valve?

    JDoremire I just finished reading 6.5l's write-up when i got the notification of responces to this thread. Yours is next. Dose orientation matter? Judging from the cutaway images of a devided exhaust housing the rear (closest to the down pipe) air flow is close to 180° change of direction...

    losing overdrive after truck warms up

    Almost sounds like a circuit breaker, but our trucks dont have any. Check your fuseabke links(on passenger finder skirt near the battery) maby a braker was instaled and has gotten weak.

    Oil Temp

    Is the oil flow through the filter head the same as the 1st gen? If so,then reading the oil temp at the tap on the filter head would show the temp after cooling/heating. . In my mind putting an oil temp in my filter head would only show when the oil cooler is overwhelmed. (Needs more...

    Engine Oil temp Gauge

    Kicking a dead horse The oil flows through the heat exchanger then the filter head .... this ruined my plans for using the tap on top of the filter. This tap has eather cooled (high load when this gage shines) or heated(cold start , gives a false "up to operating temp" the other time this...

    Code is staying clear. Thanks for the advice. Cause and effect analysis The negative battery cable bolted to the side of the block was routed too close to the solenoid. Causing the cable to chatter agents the solenoid wires bending them over at the end of the strain relief at over 90° and...

    Wires have black insulation yet they were green with copper corrosion the battery cable negative is positioned in very tight clearance where the wires come out bending the two wires around the canister and eventually shaped through them and then they brought it out test drive is minutes away to...
