    3rd failure at changing pinion factor

    Three visits, two dealers, still incorrect speedometer reading. Why is this difficult? I needed to change the settings - speedometer, odometer, and trip computer - for my larger tire size of 285-65-18. These happen to have 634 revolutions per mile. The DRB tool is used to make this change...

    What made you go to TWINS?

    There are very good options available for single turbo upgrades for the 2004. 5 trucks. By "good" I mean that vendors understand the needs for durability/reliability, drivability, high power increases, lowering EGT's, ease of installation, quick spooling, etc. Having said that, I'm ready to...

    Competition O-ringing the head

    I would like to learn what this involves. Can someone refer me an illustration, or perhaps post something that will show where a groove is cut. I want to understand better why this is necessary for high intake charge pressures, and how it works on my truck. Thank you in advance for responding...

    "High Performance Fuel Delivery System"

    Any have one of these installed yet? They are made by the F. A. S. S. manufacturer (Diesel Performmance Parts). This was recomended to me by a respected vendor on this site, after discussing my dyno results from this past weekend. He informed me that the stock fuel system is inadequate for my...

    Hiding links under text

    How can you post a link and change the link into words in your text. These appear underlined, so the reader knows to click on it. Like this: click here You can do that with either html or vB codes. In html it would look like this: {a href="http://thisisthelink.com"}click here{/a} Just...

    Pictures of aFe Stage 2 intake, installed

    Here's my best effort at showing the new aFe system installed. They have been uploaded to my Readers Rig Gallery, q. v. BTW, I noticed significantly lower EGT's @ WOT. I think that even with modest increases in power output, the air intake should be addressed. JMHO

    New aFe STAGE 2 for 2004.5-2005

    Dropped this in last night. Very large filter element which attaches to 6" flange on the downtube. You will hear your turbo spool up now, maybe more than you want. I'm putting the silencer ring back in. The kit comes with a removable cover that also controls sound. Easy install, pretty good...

    With Juice/Attitude installed, how much

    boost will the stock Holset handle? With "Max" boost and EGT set points of 40 psi and 1400 degrees, some overshoot occurs prior to backdown fueling. My digital guage captured these readings: https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=50242&stc=1 I will replace...

    Should TDR improve quality of Reader's Rig photos?

    Over the past year my attempts to load photos - whether to provide help, inject some humor, or sometimes just to show off - have failed, due to the 12,000 byte limitation on uploads. My camera (Sony DSC-V1) set on it's lowest resolution, results in about 640k bytes. Since other boards I post on...

    Replaced front door speakers on Infinity stereo?

    Who has replaced the front door speakers on the Infinity stereo system? The 6x9's do not have much base handling ability, and frequently require turning down the base slide knob, which is intolerable above the midway point. I suspect these may have thier own amplifiers, which would steer me...

    TSB 18-037-04, Any HP/TQ difference?

    Does anyone have bottom line re: what engine/fuel management parameters are adjusted with this reflash? Better yet, how about dyno results pre- and post- reflash. I think Sarge discussed this, but I didn't find any posts with this information. Previous threads have claimed both increases and...

    AWESOME REFLASH, BUT REQUIRES NEW 150mph SPEEDO

    Left dealer, got on interstate, moved in to empty left lane with pedal on the floor, quickly passing several vehicles... thinking to myself 'this CTD 325/600 sure accelerates nicely!'. Looked down at speedometer, doing 115 :--) Quick scan of St. Louis landscape - no cops - whew, guess I'll be...

    Featherlite vs Exiss open car trailers

    Which oned is best? I saw the Featherlite 17' tag trailer locally today, but Exiss dealer was too far. Featherlite is about $800. 00 more. Featherlite looks good, but has several steel or pot metal parts which already show rust (made April, 2004). Should I make 65 mile trip to look at Exiss...

    Can't find these tires

    Happily purchased 18x8. 5 wheels for my new Ram ('04. 5) which look pretty good, sitting on the garage floor right now :-laf . Didn't realise paucity of tires that will fit them would create a problem. Having previously customized many rides, I was prepared to consider something more than two...

    thanks to helpful TDR folks

    As a first post, thank you to TDR members for making this such a great organization and resource for the CTD community. I have used TDR since Nov. '03, purchased Mar. '04 with no regrets due to info acquired here first. Would like to have picture of two silver Dodges in posts when I figure out...
