Yes, dyno shows 10hp and 10ft/lbs. And I believe that was rear wheel numbers. For the 300 bucks, it don't get much better than that.

 

I need so help My 95 dodge Ram 1500 5.9 gas 4x4 is not charging my battery ! I went to a re builder that rebuilds Alternator & Starters only brought a new rebuild Alternator ! Install it and it was over charging the Battery like the Voltage Regulator was stuck open ! I took the new alternator off and reinstall it after hearing what the Re builder told me now its not charging at again ! I ask the Re builder and He told me the Voltage Reg is built inside the Black Computer Box that's Bolted to the Fire Wall and he said you need to replace the Computer ! I would Like to Know for Fact ! ( IS THIS True ? ) He been Rebuilding Starters and Alternators for 15 years !

 

Yes it is true. But there is a workaround for it. Do a search on this forum for voltage regulator and you should find all the info you need.

 

Lived around and worked in Dallas. Not bad, but terribly busy and traffic is bad. NOT a hell hole, though. Austin is freat. Always something going on (car shows, rallies, live music, etc) Something for everyone!



Fluid is the most expensive part, and cheap fluid is NOT a good investment.


Exaggerated? How so? Personal experience? My experience reflects otherwise. Good investment in my opinion and make my 318 run better!


I have seen the numbers, but no dyno on mine. I can feel the difference and was not disappointed with the cost.


Has this thread gotten a little on the "gibberish" side while I have been gone?

 

^^ Well you have been gone awhile


Didn't do anything to the Ram...

 

Put a new battery in it to replace my old factory battery, then took it for a spin up and down my street.

 

Dallas is a hell-hole when you're not used to the big city bullsh1t.

FWIW, I've got cheap fluid in mine since Oct. 2011 and it's been running just fine and dandy.

Exaggerated as in the 318 has a slightly hotter cam than the 360. That and flat top pistons makes the gains slightly exaggerated compared to the 360.

*edit*

Rinsed it off. Parked it in the heavily shaded part of the yard. Where I've got it parked looks like I'm trying to sell it. lol

 

But wouldn't headers and rockers be pretty much under the bolt on upgrade category?

I know rockers aren't the easiest things to install but still. I might have to get a custom tune if it would help. Horsepower adds up. I need a few extra ponies to pull them 33s since I still have stock gearing...

 

Uhh, yeah. Did I state otherwise? lol

I think rockers might actually be easier to install as you don't have to re-do half the exhaust system. lmao

Hey, you said in another thread that you're running 36 psi in your tires. If they can support the higher pressure, run 45 in the front and 40 in the back. It makes a huge difference in the way my rig behaves on the street.

 

Actually, the rockers are very easy to install. The hardest part of the whole job is getting the valve covers off and putting them back on, and that isn't hard either.
