    Need transmission advice

    your oil water cooler is in the radiator. the trans line will go from the trans to the radiator then out to the oil to air cooler. The trans has the power to put the two in line just not to many more The oil to water cooler is basically a tube going through the tank in the radiator but it helps...

    Humor iPhone vs. HTC EVO (NSFW)

    I have an iphone 4 and save for the fact that the bldg that they just moved us into is built like a bomb shelter and blocks the signal all is good.

    Need transmission advice

    I would highly advise against installing them in series. The problem comes in that there can be too much of a restriction on the flow making the transmission work to pump the fluid through the coolers. With the one you just ordered and put it in series with the oil-water cooler in the radiator...

    fuel system upgrade

    well you have the right idea in how to do it. The first question is why are you looking to get rid of the mechanical pump are you fuel limited for power? When I sat down and calculated the costs to build it myself I came within a few hundred bucks of what bean wants for all of the pieces and a...

    Question Failing Water Pump Causing High Tranny Temps?

    No problem at all with 170°F on the trans temp gauge. The trans cooler lines run through the bottom of the radiator which is much cooler than the trans fluid even when the truck is at operating temp or running a touch warm. The loop through the radiator does not serve to warm the transmission...

    AC kicks on and off

    I disagree, a slight low charge can lead to icing up leading to the meat locker cold to warm

    Projector Headlights

    Dave you're not making any sense in what you've typed. Are you saying that the ebay seller is a problem or simply that they came from ebay? It would be much more helpful if you expanded on your evident distaste of this product or the seller or the purchasing venue.

    MPG with TT seems low.

    ok my first thought was that's not too bad with a TT and based on the model number I was guessing a 36' tag model but once I clicked on the link I was very surprised to find what looks like a large popup with a roughly 4k empty weight and a 26 foot total length and a very long tongue you're...

    Relationship with wipers and brakes?

    the brake master cylinder is near the pivot point on the firewall for the drivers's wiper blade and you're simply feeling the abrupt change of direction of the wiper arms transmitted through the firewall. There is a possibility that some of the bushings on the wiper arm linkages are worn out...

    Transmission Cooler HELP

    If you pull the transmission output hose the minimum spec flow for the E4OD is 1/2 quart in 30 seconds at idle since the 4r100 is essentially the same trans and very few specs changed (both use the same front pump) I do not see the specs being any different. Please expand a bit on what your...

    note value life!!!

    Glad to hear that everyone is "OK" On the other hand that is some impressive real world crash testing for the dodge. At the risk of sounding insensitive, may I make the recommendation that they leave the crash testing to the dummies.

    Small fuel leak ??

    your leak was the fuel drain valve for the fuel filter... the OBS Trucks have a different fuel system which puts a mechanical fuel pump in the valley driven by an eccentric on the camshaft. that is the culprit for most of the SD fuel leaks the most common point for the OBS trucks is the fuel...

    Small fuel leak ??

    most likely it is the fuel pump dying, there are weep holes that will leak when it is starting to fail. If you get an inspection mirror and hold it just right you may be able to see them dripping but not always. They tend to last around 100k miles If you have fuel in the valley the possible...

    Ever feel you overpaid for a college class?

    I work at a University and have simply come to the conclusion that degrees are simply wallpaper and I refer to them as that which truly annoys the academics. However I had a professor as an undergraduate who described the degree series for the sciences so accurately: Bachelors of Science - BS -...

    Oil Cooler O-ring replacement

    I am in the middle of replacing the oil cooler o-rings on my truck and figured since I decided that I needed to replace the rear head on the oil cooler due to some slight pitting corrosion on the o-ring seating surface I would see if there was anything else that I should replace while I had it...

    Question DP 5 Tuner ??

    there is no concrete answer to which tune you will get better mileage from. It all depends heavily upon your right foot and how & where you drive. In general the lower the power added the better the mileage however between +60 & +80hp the difference is going to be less than 0.5mpg and may not...

    Brake line ?

    Likely is that you will not be able to order the steel line pre-bent you'll have to buy it it a straight section and often if you can get the right length they will/may have the correct fittings you just need to know what you have. Depending on the radius of the bend you will also need a tubing...

    Question Who changes the oil in the top of the engine to prolong injector life?

    there is as much oil in the oil rails that is not changed even if you do change what is in the HPO reservoir. I haven't and do not plan on starting to change mine.

    Question HPOP Reservoir EMPTY! Is this something wrong?

    once you remove the HPOP you will drain all of the oil to see if it is actually draining internally you can pull the plug in the top of the reservoir and see if it is full. If your HPOP was draining then you would have difficult starts in the morning after the oil drained back to the pan and...

    Question Anyone used Hydraulic hose for HPOP lines and FPR Fuel Return

    I think you will be ok for the short term the temp rating does not give me enough buffer in my mind however I would have to say that you would want to double check and see what the OE stuff was rated at and make the call yourself. all the HPO system is, is actually a hydraulic system. A...

    Question Oil Leak

    my honest guess is that you have some leaking HPOP line where it goes into the head just above the intake plenum.
