    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Stock '99 24v. Best exhaust manifold?

    All the good aftermarket 3-pieces are licensed off of the ats... I'm reasonably certain its patented. See if you can pick up a used ats or similar. I think they're worth it.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Smarty "stutter"

    only code is a "0500 no vehicle speed sensor" Could that be the culprit?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Smarty "stutter"

    This definitely occurs only with the smarty program in the ECU. 1st gear, engine cold/cool, it will miss similar to what blue chip describes as the failing VP44/map sensor situation. Could this be a marginal MAP sensor and the smarty program is more sensitive to it? This is a...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Shifting my 01

    I've got 53k on mine and I still haven't gotten it figured out. 3. 54s here.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 02' Selling Price- What do Ya Think?

    13k sounds pretty reasonable to me, too. I still think you're local market is going to drive it though. How many miles?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Water pump replacement advice

    It will take you longer to put the coolant back in it than it will to change the actual pump.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 02' Selling Price- What do Ya Think?

    Too descriptive on the ad... I see an ad like that, and I know the seller is asking too much. You'll be hard pressed to get more than a grand or so more than whatever they're going for in your local classifieds. Unless you happen to find somebody looking for an already built truck. Good luck.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) what actually happens when the VP44 goes bad

    252,000 on mine. Its getting replaced this weekend. Still running, but not running right: rough idle, intermittent miss, hard start (started last sat on two-ish cylinders). Do I tap the wire from minute one or not ? :-laf

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Where to set Smarty

    Get gauges before getting happy with the software... mine got REAL hot REAL quick with 125hp injectors, edge comp and stock exh. housing.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) disconnect Edge Comp for troubleshooting VP issues

    Worked. Its the Edge. Although, the experience is making me want to replace the VP44 as a preventative measure. Can't see how its a bad idea with 252k on it. Didn't unplug the data connector because I don't have the cap for it, does it have any influence? I can't see how... unless there was...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) disconnect Edge Comp for troubleshooting VP issues

    Can I simply plug the MAP sensor back in and kill the power supply to the Edge to remove its effects completely?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) funny cruise control

    Veeery interesting. I just noticed mine doing it, and I'm in process of trouble shooting an intermittent miss... think my VP may be on its way out...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) codes - just happened this morning

    I should have searched first - looks like the 0602 is a common error with the smarty. How about them showing up simultaneously? Any thoughts?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) codes - just happened this morning

    So no further trouble shooting, yet... I have: 0237 - Map sensor voltage too low 0602 - ECM Fueling Calibration Error ECM Internal fault condition detected. Are these usually paired? The 0237 doesn't worry me, the 0602 does. I've got an edge comp on it paired with the smarty...

    Thanks! It is local... I wouldn't risk it over the net. .

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Picking up a used Smarty

    Is there anything to look for? How does one determine that it is "unlocked"?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Extra quart in 5600

    If your having some shifting issues, give some thought to the location of the shifter pivot mechanism. There is some slop in the locating pins, I pulled and relocated mine when topping up the transmission fluid and it made a huge difference in shiftablility. By relocating, I mean holding some...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Drive pressure & residual pressure

    So I've noticed my drive pressure installation is sometimes holding pressure after shutdown, up to 10psi. I'm assuming that the tube is getting carbon in it. Has anyone noticed a similar situation? ... and, if so, what did you do about it?
