You think that would apply to my 2001 seeing as it was for 97-00? I was throwing a PO442 and had a smoke test done and told me it was the LDP. I'll know when my CEL comes back on in a couple days.

 

Anybody catch what that crazy M.F. on Xtreme 4x4 did with a vacuum gauge on the fuel saving project Dodge Ram? I missed it but someone at work said they installed a vacuum gauge to save fuel? Any ideas?

 

The vacuum gauge is simply an informational tool. You want high manifold vacuum for best economy.... so, having a gauge TELLING you when you are getting to heavy on the go pedal just clues ya in to lighten up.

The same thing was available as on option on some domestic cars back in the late 70's, early 80's.

 

Ahaa. I thought it was some trick that going to turn in to some expensive overhaul. I think I can manage to keep the long skinny off the floor for a while. Well... Most of the time at least. Still wouldn't mind dumpin that 1,000 bucks on a Dana 60 swap, lower gears and some manual hub lockouts. I gots hoop dreams coach!

 

it only goes to 00 because thats what my truck is, but i have actually heard that the 01s had more misdiag. than any others. thankfully i dont have an LDP.

 

Damn. Back to the drawing board. If that CEL comes back, I'll check the vacuum lines.

 

used it to tow my chevy ,,,, then fixed the chevy now i have two running half tons

 

I filled mine up today from almost bone dry with supreme..... took EXACTLY 100 bucks, gift cards=used up!


On an unrelated note, is it ironic that my P0420 code came back last night, and then immediately after the CEL lit up, the song '420' from the youtube music vid thread came on???! AAAND here's the kicker, I was on my way back from pickin up some uh, y'know....!!

I have a pretty close relationship with my truck, she knew exactly what was goin on!!! hahaha

 

Stopped being so damn lazy and crawled up under my truck to adjust the steering gear, and decided I should take my battery back and return it under warranty so I did that between jobs, the new battery is nice and clean now I just need to clean the rest of that area thats nice and stained

Also started running 91 oct gas with the 93 tune from hemifever hasent pinged yet and I have tried to get it to ping

 

Took the tail lights off, replacings them and working on getting the wiring checked out now..buying some steel for some of the welds yippie!
