HeberRam gearshift knob???????

[RankRam]

All of you old timers should remember HeberRam's custom knobs that he made.



Do any of you know if there are any out in TDR land somewhere?



I'm still kicking myself for not getting one when the getting was good.



Thanks.

Hmmm Yep I remember 'em but I think they are gone as the last batch there were only a few scarce styles left.

HeberRam (now KonaRam) is off-shore (Hawaii) and I think is no longer making the knobs. Perhaps he'll get time to make some more in the future. Haven't heard from him for a while but you might try sending him a PM.



I have the silver one. Looks nice.

05 3500 CTD Quad Cab 6-Speed, Staying stock LOL!! Saving for the bombing fund!



RankRam-



When did you get your new ride? More importantly, how many minutes is it going to stay stock?



Enquiring wants need to know!!

 

[RankRam]

Lol!! JStieger



I must say it will be stock for longer than I want. I need to behave right now,the wifey is not too pleased that I got rid of the 03. I did get a great deal from Carson Dodge though. I think she is more angry about me starting my payments over than just getting rid of that 03.



She just doesn't understand the aggravation I went through with trying to live with an automagic (48re) eqiupped truck. I must say the sixer is sooooo nice to shift.



As far as mods so far, I have pulled the silencer ring and have drilled a 4" hole in the bottom of the airbox and then plumbed a 90 degree sewer pipe toward the front for some air. I did this with the 03 and it worked very well.



I bought the 05 last Monday and I have been very happy with all aspects of the truck. The truck has zero vibes and looks to be getting great mileage.



Next week I will be commuting to UNR and it will be a great way to check mileage and provide a good break in as well.

Mr Stieger I noticed you have a Scotty III. Is it the newer one with the UNI Filter? If so have you done an oil analysis to see how well it's doing?



This will be one of my first mods if the silicon numbers look good.



Thanks for the info!

 

[JStieger]

RankRam-



It's the Scotty 3 w/ UNI filter. I was originally going to get the Scotty 3 when they still had the AFE. When I heard that they switched to the UNI, I did some research as well as talked to some guys at work that are into dirt bikes and they all spoke highly of the UNI too. As far as performance, even before the new turbo, it did cool down somewhat quicker than stock. EGT's hard to say because I've done some performance upgrades all around the same time. The Scotty RA3 is about +/-$100 cheaper than the airboxes too; Scotty himself is awesome to deal with in terms of customer service too.



I haven't done any oil analysis yet, but have done the "white glove" test on the air intake tube every +/- 1000 miles since install and everything looks good. I'm due for another oil change and was thinking about talking to Cashman Equipment or Detroit Diesel for an oil analysis since they service our mine haul trucks and I heard that they do oil analyses on those trucks. If I end up doing an analysis, I still will not have a reference point on my truck.



The only thing I don't like about the RA3, and this is really small potatoes, is that it points slightly upwards where the intake tube connects. So with my home made air intake (4" aluminum pipe w/ 2 rubber 90's), the second 90 almost needs to be 110 degrees. But with a little tweaking, it will work. If I would have got an AFE, then it would have been a straight shot into the air intake, but I would need to cut a bit out of the bottom of the airbox so that the HTB2-to-intercooler tube would fit without interference. So 6 in one hand; 1/2 dozen in the other! I've been talking to a local hose supply company to see if they can custom make something for me. The company orders so much stuff for the mines that they said they could probably get my custom order in with the mix to keep costs down. I'll find out on Monday.



Hope this helps-

JStieger Thanks for the come back!



For what it's worth I have been using Cashman Equipment in Sparks for all my oil analysis since early 99. They have been great!
