    Quadzilla causing timing shudder.

    Is this just a common problem I have to deal with? To my understanding certain trucks with specific setups only experience this? Sorry i need to update my truck profile. New rebuild motor about 12k miles on now. I have another thread on here somewhere. Recently i did the following as the...

    Twin Turbo Time!!

    Well shes all back together. Still some small things to work on. I have approx 95 miles on the setup. I cant wait for the engine to be broke in. I have the Edge box back down settings at 15lbs of boost and 50% throttle for the first 1k miles. After 1k oil change I'll start to crank it up a bit...

    Twin Turbo Time!!

    Good morning. The turbo kit is from Diesel Power Source. My trans was built by ATO Performance. The converter stalls at about 300 rpm less. (I could be wrong on that, I will call trans place and ask to be sure.) The guys building the motor are saying to stick with 75 to 100 injectors or get the...

    Twin Turbo Time!!

    Hello everyone. It has been a while I’m going to be upgrading to a twin turbo setup on the Dodge! Thought I would bring you guys along on the adventure! It all started with an oil pan leak about a year ago. I tried to snug up the bolts and made it worse. Roughly two years ago I had the...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 1999 Auto Transmission Hunting/Shifting

    Lot of people overlook the vehicle speed sensor also. The grounds always seem to be the problem though. It seems that a combonation of all the fixes is the fix.

    Well shes all done. Wasnt able to get any pictures of the actual trans tear down. The builder had the TC cut open and revealed a bearing was trashed. Thats what the noise was. The TC was rebuilt with a dampened clutch. The rear drum/forward clutch retainer was upgraded to billet with the...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Everyone likes trans build pics

    It is. Started hearing weird swooshing noises under certian loads at certian times from bell housing area. There was also an audible whine that would increase with the rpm. It sounded kind of like a large electric rotory motor starting up. I dropped the pan and had good amount of aluminium...

    So i talked to him today and good news. The TC shop cut the converter and said a bearing was no good causing the weird noises. The TC it self was not trashed and able to be rebuilt. The cost is only 580$ to rebuild with a new dampened clutch:) sonnax parts. The only internals not upgraded was...

    The clutch disks and metal disks had sighns of ware. He says also the rear most clutch diggs into the drum/retainer housing after a while as there is lotts of pressure in that area. Im not to shure on what he was talking about but i trust him, there good people. On the TC yes its a little spendy.

    So the builder wants to use a dampened tripple disk with parts from sonnax. He says offhand the price will be around 1550$. Cant find much info on dampened vs non dampened. He says they are a little easyer on the input shaft. Hes also going to upgrade the rear drum retainer to billet
