REAREND NOISES Dodge Ram

Q: thanks for the information. it is appreciated. if you go over 300hp youll need to beef up your transmission. lots of $$ the more horsepower you go. also ive got a 2002 as well and if you do put any kind of chip mod it alters/advances the fuel timing which in my reading is a major source of lift pump-then-injector pump failure. lift pump-$150.00 injector pump-$1500.00. the best simple upgrades would be to put an aftermarket air filter system afe makes a good one and maybe 275hp injectors. 4 exhaust to get a few more hp and keep your turbo cooler. these cummins diesels have a ton of power. for you to tow a 30 trailer and/or 3 sleds really isnt that much. the truck itself is rated for 13500 lbs of towing capacity stock. unless youre going to be racing or competition sled pulling dont get too crazy about too many mods theyre cool but do you need them 2002 is the best year of the 2nd gen trucks and dont need much in the way of mods unless you want to go all out but then $$$$$. just my .02 tom i was interested in the type of kit that comes with a dash-mounted selector like the one from banks where you can run anywhere from stock to stupid ;-. its for a 2002 dodge 2500 with the cummins. i will be hauling a 30 jayco and all necessary camping gear and up to 3 sleds in the winter. kv what do you guys think of the diesel hop-up kits any down sides what do you know of pricing like any other performance products - theres lots to choose from. some good some bad. some are straight plug-n-play some are powerful enough that you will destroy your truck in short order if you dont know what youre doing. downsides are more wear and tear on drivetrain components warranty implications and the like. pricing can run anywhere from $300 for a used pressure box to over $15k for a complete racing package with just about any level in-between. what kind of truck do you have and what are you looking to do with it .

just began driving my new 2004 dodge sprinter and cant seem to get the drivers side mirror to adjust up high enough to see cars behind me. since the mirror has a two point connection the mirror housing cannot be adjusted. the only adjustment for height is the motor behind the mirror. presently i have it adjusted completely up. daimlerchrysler says its a design issue not covered under warrantee. ive been able to make some adjustments in lowering the seat to make it slightly better. any suggestions also getting dirt and debris in the tail light lens because the seal between the lens and the body is not adequate. again daimlerchrysler says its a desing issue not covered under warrantee. .

i have a 2004 dodge quadcab with hemi. i had a set of brighter headlights put in about a week ago. of course the drivers side one has either burnt out is defective or ive got some major problems. the high beams both work as does the passenger side low beam. these bulbs are 100w/85w blue type bulbs. i wanted to check the relays. where are they located theyre not in the fusebox near the battery i am going to go out now and try changing bulbs. i drive on regular roadsno off-roading if that helps. .
