    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 47re w/a.t.s. Lock-up valvebody question

    I installed a mystery switch like that on my 97 and it locked up great, but after using it a few times it kept creating codes in the ECM. So, I replaced it with the co-pilot controller instead. But, I still have complaints about my ATS transmission and the way it works. .

    Turn Signal

    If it is the turn signal switch, (the multifunction)(malfunction switch), Wholesale Mopar Parts.com has them at a good price... That is what went bad on my 05, and it only took about 20 minutes to change. . It is fairly common for those switches to go bad. .

    Cummins 4bt

    If you only need that amount of increase in hp, you could probably just install bigger injectors like(marine injectors) and get the increase your looking for. . Get in contact with Mark @ TST Products, he worked for cummins as an engineer for almost 30 years and he should be able to help you...

    Smarty or nozzles????

    My AFE is just the filter inside the stock airbox. It is one of thier later versions. Its cone shaped in the middle with a flat urethane flange around it so it seats in the stock filters position. It is still oil/washable gauze, not the totally dry one...

    Smarty or nozzles????

    Wow, all that sounds awesome!! Does the airbox mod cause you to fail the visual part of the Cali smog test?? How much drop in exhaust temp was gained by the Smarty and the airbox mod?? What muffler is the most free flowing of the aftermarket ones but is still quiet?? I am getting old enough...

    Smarty or nozzles????

    Sorry guys, I have an 05 2500 quadcab 4x4 shortbed automatic. I have a piece of straight pipe in place of the cat right now, and an AFE air filter. I am mostly concerned with a little extra when towing my 5th wheel and my milage when running around empty. . I am trying to make my stock transmission...

    Smarty or nozzles????

    That is what I suspected. All these people selling nozzles are saying 40hp or 90hp and so on. I figured it was pretty much sales pitch... More than likely it will be the smarty box. As far as I know, the smarty is the only programmer that doesnt leave a footprint in the trucks computer... Do you...

    Smarty or nozzles????

    as for the first substantial performance upgrade, should i change the injector nozzles or just buy a shorty programmer??? I have dont quite a bit to my old 12 valves for performance and had good luck, but this is gonna be my first shot at my electronic and i dont want to spend lots of time...

    Smog test with gutless converter??

    According to what ive read and heard, its just a visual inspection right now to make sure the cat is there and is the correct one. Then the smoke puff clean out test, and the OBD scan for alterations. . Im sure over time this great government we have will make it alot harder...

    Smog test with gutless converter??

    I agree with you Bob, but I just dont wanna have to buy a new cat. They are freaken expensive. . Now if it was gonna make 4 or 5 mpg, or a couple hundred hp I would be all for it... ha ha

    Smog test with gutless converter??

    Thanks CK, I am one step ahead of ya. I have been using the SS band clamps with a piece of pipe for years now, and the fine micron filter. Its a funny thing, most people dont even know there is finer micron filters that will work in that truck. . I pump my used oil through a 5 micron filter...

    ATS Trannies

    Wow, i guess i am not the only one who wont use ats again. . My first ats was a mess from day one, and the second one thats in now is better, but still nothing to bragg about... :-( so sad!!!

    Smog test with gutless converter??

    I think you're right Ilian. . I guess I shouldn't worry to much until its time. I think I am just tired of our government and thier wanting to control everything we do,(including breathe)BS... I guess worst case senario would be to have to by a new converter because I failed the test.

    Smog test with gutless converter??

    My big concern is that I burn all my used oil in the fuel tank and im afraid of plugging up the converter with soot... I have been doing this for some time, and it works fine. The truck runs just as good, I save a little on buying fuel and then I dont have any used oil to get rid of either. . I...

    Smog test with gutless converter??

    Yeah, I cant make up my mind on what im gonna do. Right now the cat is out of the truck, but in about 4 months it will have to be back in for the pathetic test. I have been thinking about welding flanges on it so that it can be taken in and out... From what I have heard so far is they have just...
