sounds simple enough. do you happen to know the torque specs for tightening them back down anyone know of some good step-by-step instructions on how to do this flip the seats up - remove the bolts that hold the frames to the floor and take them out. if you have the load floor you have to remove that first. youll find two bolts in the rear one on each side and two more bolts underneath the load floor itself flip the floor up. ------------ and now a word from our sponsor ------------------ want to have instant messaging and chat rooms and discussion groups for your local users or business you need dbabble! -- see http//netwinsite.com/sponsor/sponsordbabble.htm ---- .

budd cochran wrote it sounds like youre in a state that uses salt on the winter roads or along an ocean. im from indiana originally. find a complete engine crossmember from a southwestern junkyard on the net for you vehicle but check the condition of your frame first. no sense in patching what isnt there anymore. -- budd cochran hello ive got a 74 dodge d-100 that the a-arm mount where the frame tab is rusting off..forward ones are fine though and its the same story for both left and right. the castor-camber cam adjusters are fine but that part being riveted to the frame and cross member worries me since i dont know a source for such parts other than maybe calling a local frame shop and asking for that piece.. ill likely re-bush them too. thanks george yep i live in ma. i think this was a truck that started life on cape cod...snow salt air salt on the roads.. frame is okay i smear the bugger with grease when ive got it on my hands from u-joints or when i do oil changes. lol ive done that myself but theres never enough to do the whole frame. granted its been sitting a couple years but ive changed the cab and had a good look whats there. it could use a good wire brushing and being shot with por-15 or something to seal out the moisture. i realize kero and used oil will do a good job but im one of those that believes in not adding to environmental issues. so painting it with something fairly tough would be fine for me. kero and oil will also prevent you from using por-15 or any other sealer. i try to keep up on leaks the thing has too. yes it may be rusty but i try to take care of it as best as i can. i generally dont have much time to do junkyard crawls..or call around. i get home and i go to sleep and try to get as much as i can. i understand. btdt. still ordering a crossmember online from a yard in texas wont have you crawling in the dirt ; from the factory its riveted in but some grade 8 bolts of the right dimensions will do the job. i keep hoping someone made up something like i need part is no longer available through mopar since i checked this week. ive had it in mind to cut a piece of square tubing into the shape i need and copy the holes as best i can. plasma cutter.. ; well ya could but drill the holes before you cut so the side to be removed will help keep them aligned during drilling. budd .

most likely your problem is a loose or corroded connection at the battery terminal or at the starter. clean and tighten the connections. although a very simple repair batteries are very dangerous. wear safety glasses & gloves. if you get any battery acid on your skin immediately rinse it off with lots of water. battery acid will burn your flesh quickly and if you get any in your eyes it can blind you. begin by disconnecting the negative - terminal first. leave it disconnected - then with the negative terminal still disconnected go to work on the positive + terminal. if the cable wire going to either battery terminal has become frayed and is growing green crud replace it. when reconnecting the battery hook up the positive + terminal first and negative - terminal last for safety reasons. less likely is that 1 or more cells of the battery are very low on electrolyte sulfuric acid. this could occur if the battery has sustained some type of physical damage cracked or punctured or has been overcharged and boiled dry. you can add *distilled water* if its simply low but if one or more cells appear to be completely empty then the battery has been permanently damaged and adding water is unlikely to help. use water preferably distilled water only. ** do not add acid ** do not overfill. fill to the top of the split ring. if you dont know what this is have someone show/help you. if all cells of the battery are low on electrolyte or if it takes a cup 8 ounces or more to completely refill all the cells then i would be a little suspect of a malfunctioning charging system alternator/regulator. work safe! rburdick@mcihispeed.net writes i looked and looked but didnt see a thread on this topic. last year i got into the car and the electical system seemed to short out when the key was turned in the ignition. the lights went out and the the electrical system went dead. the dodge boys told me it was a dead battery. tonight the same thing just happened. i noticed these things when i got into the car the electrical system seemed ok. interior lights were bright. warning bells went off when i put the key into the ignition. soon as i turned the key everything died. when cables were attached to the battery the car started but the charging guage was pegged at full. could be the battery again .

yep used to be the other way around. the road fuel was dyed red to show it had the federal road tax paid on it while no2 for the home was clear but had a uv additive in it. the dot can pull over any commercial registered vehicle in the us and test the fuel. they can also do spot checks of passenger vehicles to test fuel for dyes. if your caught using any off road fuel in a road vehicle the fine is very high. from the dot. any owner who is found with dyed fuel in his/her vehicle is subject to a penalty of $1000 or $10 per gallon of dyed fuel involved whichever is greater. the penalty increases with additional violations the department can also seize both the contraband fuel and vehicles used in fuel tax evasion. jail time is also a possibility. -- steve williams aarcuda69062 wrote coasty uscgretspooge@comcast.net wrote yes but if you get caught by the tax nazis you will be in deep do-do. also there is a dye in the fuel used for auto consumption that is how they tell it apart. if you decide to do so put a pre-filter with a water separator on the tank it will save you some head aches. why would the government dye the fuel used for auto consumption do you think they want to bust those who use -on- road fuel in an -off- road application it is dyed when it is sold as home heating oil so it is marked as a non road fuel no road tax for those trying to get around the tax. motor fuel is not dyed. -- ----------------- www.thesnoman.com ----== posted via feeds.com - unlimited-uncensored-secure usenet ==---- http//www.feeds.com the #1 group service in the world! 120000+ groups ----= east and west-coast server farms - total privacy via encryption =---- .

rubbish yeah right. you can boost a dmax and that allison will not come apart until you really push it. or until 50000 miles which ever comes first. and what does really push it mean do you mean actually use the power your chip gives you perhaps you should include the tc failures they experienced early in the run. btw for all the knowledge you seem to have you dont seem to understand that lots of grunt with no rpm simple words for you is harder on a trans than not quite as much grunt but lots of rpm. an inline six is far more capable of doing the low rpm grunt than a v8 ever will be. known fact proven over time time and time again. the old 727s and thm400s could take a lot of extra hp without a problem. more rubbish. any trans behind a modified engine gets modified itself. how do you think b&m tci fairbanks etc got to be as big as they did hint its not because the stock ats were handling the modified engines. now if you are familiar with the fact that a diesel makes its peak numbers at low rpm and a gasoline engine makes its peak numbers at well over 2500rpm a number which is at the top of the rpm range for a cummins youll start to understand why trans failure behind a diesel is more likely after modification. a cummins can and will trash a 727 if its modified. the auto was okay when the engine torque was below 500 ft lbs but it will not take more torque for a long period of time because it simply is not that strong of a design when it should have been because chysler knew people were going to boost those motors and should have built a better tranny for it. what a load of crap. chrysler designed and built a very good drivetrain. chrysler is in no way responsible for individual modifications nor are they obligated to plan for those mods. this is like saying that a half ton pick up should be capable of hauling over a ton because chrysler knew people were going to boost the amount they put in the truck. the finailly beefed it up a good bit in 05 and time will tell on that one. again rubbish. the 48re the improved version of the 47re which is doing just dandy in my truck at 420ftlbs was brought out in 2002 three years prior to when you claim. it has not been upgraded by the factory since then and complaints are down from prior years. so time is telling and its saying this trans can do the job. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. rubbish yeah right. you can boost a dmax and that allison will not come apart until you really push it. the old 727s and thm400s could take a lot of extra hp without a problem. the auto was okay when the engine torque was below 500 ft lbs but it will not take more torque for a long period of time because it simply is not that strong of a design when it should have been because chysler knew people were going to boost those motors and should have built a better tranny for it. the finailly beefed it up a good bit in 05 and time will tell on that one. max dodge wrote i disagree with some of this the auto tranny was light to begin with with little reserve by design because dodge did not spend the coin to make it a proper tranny. rubbish. the design is an a727 with an od section. if you recall the a727 was placed behind 425hp hemis not the 5.7 but the 426 six pack 440s and a myriad of other tough situations such as motorhomes and work trucks. if the 727 was good enough to survive this the 618 should also be. the improvements to the 618 to make it the 47re and now the 48re were natural evolutions in trans design not a new design such as the 45rfe or 545rfe. also boat ramp duty is a lot tuff on a tranny than going down the road with a trailer. more rubbish. a boat ramp taken at a proper speed is exactly like going up a grade on a highway. some of those ramps and boat loads can be killers. i have seen more than one tv die on a boat ramp with a big boat behind it. not filter change is going to fix his problem sorry to say. again rubbish. you have no idea what is causing his problem nor do you know what exactly is going on. nor do i. but... suggesting that a trans is dead before doing diagnostic work as well as maintenance to items that could cause the problem is plain stupid. its a good way to spend money when a simple fix may solve the problem. im not sure where your expertise comes from but so far its not exactly expertise. -- ----------------- www.thesnoman.com .

cr- increasing compresion will increase efficentcy but on a decrease rate of improvement as pressures increase.. going from 81 to 101 is apx 12% going from 101 to 121 is apx 6% or a total of 18% over 81 it continues to drop as rates increase. as others have stated the fuel is an issue as head temperatures predetenate the fuel. head/combustion chamber design comes into play. many times the reality is that they put cams in these higher compression engines that have higher valve overlap periods to increase exhaust gas evacuation from the bore. this lowers real world increases in mileage that may be gained from the cr. here again moderation is the key. my 68 road runner with the 383 magnum engine obtained 23 mpg when either my mom or my sister drove it. i otoh never got better than 12 out of it . . . of course i was only 21 in 1968 . .. . . . bg water/meth injection of these items supposidly increase compressiondue to fluids dont compress slow the burn more raise the octatane rateing and lower the exhaust gas temperature. in addition it helps keep clean the engines. its not the lack of fluid compressibility raising effective cr that does the trick but the water content flashes into steam adding a slight steam engine effect. the alcohol any kind will do is a fuel / oxydizer / octane booster / anti-freeze for the water. since it as a bit of fuel / oxidizer component to the cylinder less gasoline is needed for a specific hp level . . .more gasoline economy. that said; i have a dual pressure injection system from snow on my diesel truck. i expected at least 200f exhaust gas temp drops and 80hp. i can not report this maybe i have it set wrong others report good results go for it!!! in modern diesels water injection is a blessing but too much water will cause an engine to miss or run poorly. diesel yes the higher cr does help mileage. unit comparing gas to diesel diesel has 10% more energy. most of todays diesel have turbochargers which increase power on demand. and allow a lower cr for starting it takes big poewer to crank a 22 or higher 1 engine boost levels of 40lbs boost are easy and up to 120lbs are do-able! here again it boosts the effective cr. these presures help hpapx 10hp per 1lbs boost40lbs boost is about 400hp and torque but it takes fuel to do this. article is a mixture of trueth and misinformation. vapor pressure point of the fuels depend on the pressurealtitude. at sea level gasoline will start to vaporize at about 140f diesel about 300f. i am unclear where they get 430f as pressure decreases the tempreture should decrease. they added the two together but got the wrong answer 300 + 140 = 440 bg fuel that is pulled from a carburator is not vaporized. the fuel is mixed as very very fine droplets. atomized in fact some of the older engines that were designed for performance were designed with large ports in the heads with large carburators. as the word performance in those days ment it was capable of good power at mid to high rpm levels. the engine was designed for high volumes of air and fuel. yep. at normal lower rpm use such as cruse speeds or idle. the airflow in these large ports could be so slow that droplets of fuel would fall out of the stream of air/fuel. pudles of fuel could actually collect in parts of the ports until more airstream would again start to pick up the fuel. sorry but this is incorrect. the problem was poor fuel distribution. turbulence in the runners in effect partially blocked the flow to some cylinders requireing a richer overall mixture than was actually needed. this is one reason that fuel injection is much better. curiously the 57-65 corvette f.i. was a constant flow/wet port system that had no computer control at all and delivered 25% better economy over 1 hp/cu.in. and reduced emissions . . . .have we reeally come so far hydrogen boost system is a good idea but it generally takes more energy to make the hydrogen than it provides in practice. in addition it may be dificult to regulate the amount that could properly be used. your adding fuel to your running engine without regulation control.this is unfair of me to say. i have not read the book. and youre about to fall for the hype. hint if it sounds to good to be true then it proabably is. years ago there was a vapor carb that used exhaust gas as a heat source to vaporize the fuel. you used a normal carb to start the engine and ran it to normal operating tempertures. then you switched to the vapor carburator. the issue was that as you increased the efficency you lowered the waste heat produced. of the people i spoke with using this said it worked fine for a few miles4miles until the exhaust temps would no longer vaporized the fuel. think on this gasoline gets real touchy when heated . . .would you want boiling gasoline under your hood i quote in 1987 mcburney conver

assuming that the turbo is not spinning while the truck is running the problem is you need a turbo. it should spin any time the truck is running. while the truck is off pull the breather hose off and make sure that the turbo can spin freely it should. there may be some in and out play. a little is ok but more than about 1/8in is going to show wear will be an indication that seal are in need. white smoke usually goes with this as well. white smoke shows your burning oil. depending on how your truck is set up most of your fuel may be set to come in with the afc. it fuels based on the boost pressures. no pressure no added fuel no power. i have my truck set up this way. it helps to limit smoke and makes smother power. the turbo air has two functions; 1 provides air for combustion 2 provides cooling air for the cylinders so you can melt down if you have enough fuel without the cooling volume but with enough to burn the most of the fuelmeans it will be most likely be smoking out the tail pipe. temperatures can easily reach the melting point of the pistonsover 1500f. regular road cruse temps are around 700-900f. melt down does not make a sound as the truck dies. one thing that could have killed your turbo is not allowing shut down time. from 3mins to 30seconds is all it takes to cool down the turbo before shutdown. it depend on how you were driving just prior to shutdown. oil will burn and coke around 400f. if you work the truck and quickly shut it down the egtexhaust gas temperature could easily be in the 600f range. oil would coke and clog the oil line that would lubercate the turbo. this would at some time kill the turbo. my 2cents if your turbo is fried from the lack of lube as described above. get a hybrid hx35/40 turbo which will provide more air quicker than your hx-35. then get on the forums and start on the path to the dark side bombinglearning to add hp to your truck if your going to keep the truck get some gaugesegt and boost pressure at the least. you can make 400hp easy without harming mpg. many times the upgrades will add up to 2mpg. their are a couple of wonderful forums; http//www.dieselram.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi http//www.dieseltruckresource.com/ the turbo is not spinning but i was told that it would smoke and run hot if the turbo was bad. it has no other problems except no power. is the turbo still spinning can you hear it whining john .

to bdk; can you tell me where your antenna is mounted mine is in the upper left corner on the drivers side of the windshield. the whip of the antenna is pointing down. on the car i had before it another onea clifford was mounted behind the rear view mirror and was mounted horizontally. it worked flawlessly. howard says... i had a local speed shop install an electric starter in my 04 1500 hemi qc. the make was dei. a real piece of crap . very little range. i was thinking about ripping it out and having the mopar unit installed. anybody know whether or not the mopar might simply be a plug in type unit that i could do or does it half to be done by a dealer i have the remote door locks already. i par my truck about 200ft from my apartment and it doesnt start. ive had 3 trucks with dei remote starters. there have been zero problems related to wiring or installation my present truck seems to cook the brain of the remote starter about every 9 months its a 15 minute job to put another one in and its totally under the lifetime warranty. all that happens is the blower wont run when its in remote start a hassle in the winter for sure its something that my truck and only my truck seems to do. they even checked it out for too high or low voltages and spikes etc and it was cleaner than usual. the last one they put in is a year old now so maybe its cured. range is almost ridiculous. just to see how far it went i parked my truck in the upper left hand corner of a very large mall parking lot and a friend took me to the lower right hand side and it started with no problems. i couldnt see the truck the mall was in between. he took me down the street another big block and it still started. this was at least a quarter mile! more than enough for me. if i have to walk 10 minutes to get to my truck im parking in the wrong place. i think you may have a dud or the installation was messed up. the place i had mine done all three times has been doing them for over 30 years and the guy who put the last two in had been doing them nearly 10 himself. when they dont need to open up the installation instruction sheets anymore they have done enough of them to have it down. btw i would be shocked if the mopar starter wasnt dei. they make most of them the decent ones anyway. viper clifford dei all the same company. why the car companies waited all this time to put them in is something i just dont understand. now if they would just give up on the crappy head units they put in most cars. just make a deal with pioneer or someone and use a standard mount and when you buy the car/truck you can pick any one of say three or four standard sized head units and three levels of speakers you want from them or no stereo at all with just the hole in the dash and the wiring already set to go.. bdk .
