So... fun little video teardown on what could possibly happen to an engine that had gasoline put into it ... The horror... the horror.

Since gas would easily detonate earlier in the stroke, you had to have noticed the pinging noises, the extreme drop in acceleration, possibly the CEL firing off. You honestly drove 150 miles without noticing anything??? The quote they gave you was definitely a full fuel system replacement -...

Oh, since we're talking about pedal upgrades for the electronic throttle body - I did a review on a product I received a few weeks back - still running it every day in "Sport +" mode and makes the drive soooo much more enjoyable. This is paired with an SFT Stage 1 Tune.

2nd the tune suggestion - that initial delay from a dead stop is actually programmed in. Post tune, it ceases to exist.

I've yet to try the stage 2 leap since I still have the EGR connected (but turned off via Stage 1 tune), and the Sheep-wee injector (DEF) is still there as well. From what I understand, you can technically run the Stage 2 tune, however that DEF filter may start coking up since the DEF injector...

If you took your truck in for service and they flashed over your tune, it has been reverted back - if you have your programmer from SFT, you'll want to re-flash your tune, it'll turn off the EGR again which should make the block-off unnecessary. That is of course, if the dealer hasn't found a...

I run Howes Meaner-Kleaner, 3 ounces per tank (they claim 1 ounce per 10 gallons). It was recommended to me by a friend who has about 700k on an old Dirtymax 3/4 ton. It's cheap enough to run every time I fill up about 8 gallons every weekend to top off. Also, the tune I run shuts off the EGR...

Way back when I used to build Jeeps of all shapes and sizes, I typically ran Skyjacker or Rancho shocks with pretty good results. Today I feel like my Ram Bouncy-Castle is probably a little wiggly because the shocks are showing their age. I believe I found the right Rancho P/N for the rear ones...

So, I've put on a couple thousand miles now since I've got my fuel situation cleared up, tune installed, etc. I've always had this strange acceleration thing though - perhaps some of you experience it as well. In 2wd, sometimes, not all the time, there's a little "slack" for lack of a better...

Short answer : Yes - they're still doing tunes. The guy you want to talk to is Frank, who really knows his stuff. I purchased one a few months ago and he was very thorough answering my questions - probably the same ones you'll have. Generally a contact request is answered within a day or two...

I received this error a few times before a breakdown - turns out the wiring from the TIPM to my fuel pump had a break in it, and the inconsistent connection would flip out the ECU and kicking up the throttle code from time to time as well (that is, until the broken wire stayed broken for good)...

Hands free microphones for Uconnect and when you're on the phone. The auto-dimmer is built into the back of the mirror, and a humidity sensor for the climate control is a little box stuck to the glass to the right of the mirror-mount. The more I uncover the toys on this rig, the more I...

I ran the newly recommended 5w40 and wasn't really happy with the oil pressure numbers I was seeing - though it never changed or deviated. I'm also aware the display of oil pressure is based on an algorithm, not an actual figure. I thought I'd try Rotella T6 15w40 this go round, since I live in...

Thanks TC ... turns out the problem I described and symptoms were something a fellow Youtuber went through several times in his 10+ years of ownership. I ended up replacing the right-rear bag in less than 45 minutes and road tested it picking up 400 pounds of topsoil for my folks. Looks like I'm...

Update : This morning was fine, although by the time I got to work, it didn't want to air up. I left it in the current normal setting and headed into the shop. About 8 hours later, I was on the bump-stop on the right rear again. Fired it up, set it to O/R 1, heard some sounds, mostly the...

You'll probably have to get AlfaOBD and turn off the features in the computer so it stops nagging you about it. I thought about doing this as well, but in all honesty, I kind-of like the bouncy-castle, and I found a source for replacement air-springs for a little over a hundred and some change.

So.. as this topic seems to be stirring up a debate, I'll drop a few figures here as I've been toying with this idea of "black diesel" for quite a while now. About 20 years ago or so, I owned a 79 Mercedes 300D ... made the same year I was born. My tailpipe always smelled like fried fish, or...

What I thought I'd do is detail every little symptom just in case any of you have experienced or even "felt" this with your air ride. I replied in the "Right rear" thread, but I thought I'd build on it with a more specific set of issues. I'm working with a 2016 Lone Star, "air ride is nice ...

Question, what line did you install the can in between? I'm considering doing this on the PCV side of the system since my tune already closed off the EGR.

I just began having this same issue - if it's a leak, it's REALLY random and not consistent. Yesterday, naturally on the day I had to haul paving stones and some top soil, it decided to "take a leak" ... this morning, I've been running errands, with no issues whatsoever. The system also seems to...
