Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) pros and cons progaurd 7

[ALittlejohn]

I have an 2000 Dodge with is 100% stock right know.



Need some information on progaurd 7 or the magnum force intake system AKA Funnel Ram. I am going to order this first than a brake than maybe the FASS or injectors. Looking for some help. I pull a 12,000 5ver.

Hi, and welcome to the TDR! How are things going up there in P-Ville?

With a 100% stock truck, I might suggest that you invest in a good set of gauges before the AFE Proguard 7 air filter system. I don't think that changing out the filter will give you more horsepower because you haven't added fuel yet. With the extra fuel, higher EGTs occur, and that's when you need to be concerned about air restrictions.

The gauges will also allow you to monitor the fuel pressure and/or health of the infamous lift pump. If pressure is >10# at idle (the specification minimum my dealer quoted), don't expect problems or a change out by the dealer. If, like me, you see <1# at high power, you look at the FASS system or Fuel Preperator system.

Get gauges!



I know that there are several TDR guys in your area. Maybe the trip-to-pan will dissipate and allow them to pipe in.
