in my honest personal opinion i am a person of unproven abilities and / or knowledge and a self-confessed group troll. therefore i suggest everything i offer as an answer in any response to be accepted only after thoroughly being tested and checked against known sources. wrong!!! wrong!!! wrong!!! yes you are but we are used to it. of course you are never wrong . . . . .rotflmbo!!!!! sure i am. it just seems that way to you because you so seldom correct. turbo manufacturer engineers work with vehicle manufacturer engineers to determine a workable dependable configuration which can still be changed for more or less boost. iow the relationship between the turbine and compressor section is optimized for the turbo size and design type at its factory and not adjustable without tearing down the turbo and swapping housings. i think that is what i already said. no you implied whatever the supplier sent you were stuck with. really dudd funny how i just cut and pasted my previous comment into this one. the only implications came from your spin. sorry budd once again you are wrong. look at some of the ricer sites. they swap turbines compressors and housings all the time. look at some turbo manufacturer sites and see the options listed troll-boy. i already did and while this is possible it still requires you to remove and rebuild the turbo and is not in the same modification class as changing drive pulleys on a supercharger. iow you are still wrong. wrong a turbo is no more difficult then a belt driven supercharger to upgrade. lol actually it is easier but that is not the point oh dim one. the point is that a turbo rebuild is not in the same class of modification as a pulley swap. sorry budd but you lose again. btw did you forget i spent about 6 mos as the mopar v-8 tech on a turbocharging site i spent many hours looking over turbo configurations and how they worked with mopar engines. and you still got it wrong especially with youur connection to the waste gate and turbo lag. i have no connection to them but you may. well actually budd you are a waste but that is not the point either. you did say that the waste gate had an effect on spool up time which is of course completely wrong. what exactly did you do for those 6 months at dodge wash the cars or is that the reason that you only lasted 6 months. i think that ill chalk that story up as about as believable as you lawn cutting at a bank presidents salary bs. in my honest personal opinion i am a person of unproven abilities and / or knowledge and a self-confessed group troll. therefore i suggest everything i offer as an answer in any response to be accepted only after thoroughly being tested and checked against known sources. so true. then you agree my ascertainment of your mechanical prowess is dead on accurate . . . i dont see that. i only see you describing yourself here. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

while the spark plug is centrally located and has several advantages for being there this is not a strict requirement to be a hemi. dodge was working on a replacement for the 426 hemi which had a less expensive head that located the plug similar to their wedge heads of the era. chryco pulled the plug pun intended on this hemi and it was never built for production. dick landy dli owns one of these factory hemi engines. it can be seen at the walter p. chrysler museum in auburn hills mi from time to time. ken centrally located spark plug in that hemispherical head. almost like the advantage a central spark plug would have in a four valve per cylinder without the expensive parts. look at where your c1500s plugs are vs. where the bikes plugs are. the hemi looks more like your bikes head. whats different about a hemi engine that make it a hemi is it the pistons -- smoove 91 gsxr 750 96 chevy c1500 and 94 suburban hated by many... confronted by none! pain is weakness leaving the body!!! its better to be judged by twelve than carried by six. www.myhooptie.com .

i have had my 2003 dodge ram crew cab for less than a year with only street driving mainly highway and am having a vibration problem. im not talking about a little shimmy from time to time. im talking the cab shakes so bad that it literally unseals the door closure going down the road. the tires seem to be fine its never been wrecked or even down a dirt road so whats happening here my dad had an old ford that acted the same way and it was the front end that he couldnt keep in line. i have stayed away from fords all my adult life because i understand from some current owners that they still have that problem. is there something that should be adjusted or checked on this dodge that im not aware of thanks for any help. sounds like wheel balance... check to see if the weights are still on the wheel. does it shake at certain speeds -a|ex .

a few months ago the service light came on. the code said a valve in the transmission was malfunctioning. the truck ran fine shifted fine and no problems execpt the light was on. if the battery was diconnected for a minute and reconnected the light went and stayed off until the truck went over 65 miles an hour. it never came on at any speed lower than 65. no other problems were apparent with this truck. the truck was taken to a dodge dealer to get it fixed and the service engine light so it wouldnt come on any more. the dealer changed the front pump and torque convertor. since that time the service engine light hasnt come on but......... a whole new set of problems are occuring. number 1 when the truck is driven at around forty mph and slowly accelerated to 50 mph there is a shudder in the transmission. number 2 in normal acceleration from start at around 10mph there is a shift up and then another shift up. then it wont shift up again until the speed is 50 mph. at any speed under 50mph the transmission will not shift up even with letting up on the gas or even going down a hill. the dealer says this is normal but i never noticed this before the repair. number 3 a slow acceleration from a stop light and going about a block and slowing down to stop there is a big clunk. it seems like the transmission is either trying to shift up or down when i am trying to slow down. the truck has been in and out of the dealership several times. the time before last the dealership seemed to have changed the shudder from 40mph to50mph to between 50mph and 60mph. today after another week in the repar shop the dealer said they replace the troque converter and front pump again. and gave me truck back and said they cant fix it. anyone have anything like this happen to them .

my 96 gets between 15.5 and 17.4 mpg. it had a 5.2 but the crank broke. i changed it to a 2001 5.9. i got slightly better economy with the 5.9. in both cases the best mileage occurs at 45-50 mph. the worst at 85-90 mph. the truck has 3.55 gears and a manual 5 speed. it has a 96 liter tank. it has a speed limiter at 118 mph in the computer. steve my friend who owns this truck says that it doesnt hold 98l total gas from the pump because the tank has to allow %15 for vapour. i mentioned something about my car being filled right up to the neck and over flowing and how i dont see a 15% difference because mine doesnt allow for vapour. pontiac states the tank size to be exactly what i have pumped in from the pump. give or take a litre it all came up because he said that he got 438km out of his truck on a full tank with 38km left to go city driving. doing some research i found this...... 2003 dodge ram 4x4 quad 6ft box 13 mpg city 17 mpg highway total gas tank 26 gallons * 13 miles = 338 miles to the tank city / 543.95 km per tank total gas tank 26 gallons * 17 miles = 442 miles to the tank highway / 711 km per tank 26 gallons - 15% = 22.1 gallons * 13 miles = 462km to the tank per city. you said you get 438km + 38 dte 478km per tank so youd be correct with the %15 vapour theory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- 1996 sunfire se coupe 25 mpg city / 32 mpg highway total gas tank 15.2 gallons * 25 miles = 380 miles to the tank city / 611 km per tank total gas tank 15.2 gallons* 32 miles = 486.4 miles to the tank highway / 782.78 km per tank i get 678 - 690 per tank with city and highway mixed in. and i drive it hard so i would have to get less than what they would post cause im sure those numbers they post would be inflated with super gentle driving. 57.5 litres is my total tank capacity listed and i always stick in 53 - 55 litres from empty. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- so what is it then is he burning more than he should is he putting in less than it can hold or are they showing what it holds including 15% for vapour i will find this out. very misleading if they do include vapour! .

subject mobil 1 vs. valvoline is there really a difference between motor oils dodge says use 5-30 in the 4.7l dak; i used castrol in the neon but switched to valvoline when i got the truck i notice a lot of folks using mobil 1 at least in their posts and was curious to know why. j. mobil 1 provides better protection. it doesnt break down as much as dino oil has more additives which cost more than dino oil flows better than dino oil in the winter and doesnt burn as eaily as dino oil. on the other hand dino oil is better today than it was years ago. i use mobil 1 because i have a ford contour that i plan on running as long as i can. if i were planning on getting rid of it at say 110000 mi i would use dino oil. unless you plan on keeping a vehicle for a long time you are probably better of with dino oil. jeff .

redneck tookover hell wrote this time they replaced the intake gasket and intake manifold gaskets!!!! cost lots of money 770.00 but they said that this would fix my problem. guess what problem is still there as bad as ever sounds like t boner is the mechanic at that dealership politics the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich. you aint been too much help yourself. just a follow up to the problems with my truck. took it back to the dealer this weekthey had it the whole week anyway they said that the timing chain needs to be replaced. they said that because it has stretched that this makes the timing out of whack. when i start it in the morning the computer trys to fix this by giving it more fuel and changing the timing until it finds something that works. then it runs smooth. does this sound right i asked if they are sure this is my problem and they say we think so. i said are you sure enough that if after you change the chain and i still have the problem then the chain is free oh no they cant do that. the chain does make noise but i would like to know if this is my problem or not. they ajusted the distributor to compensate for the
