Default propane conversion



Hi 88 legend, Iīm from Germany and here we drive a lot of propane burners.I donīt know how many people drive in the states with it and how the construction is exactly build overthere, but one is for sure: after a few years or after a special milage the injectors are getting dirty because propane is much dirtier than gas and you canīt get it filtered like gas.Get a cleaner (addon for the gas tank) (I bet you can switch between the both) and drive some gas tank fillups with the cleaner.If you canīt switch it you have to cleanthem manuel. This would be first step.Than you should have a normal idle with a almost smooth running depending on the maintenance level of your truck.To your upgredes can I say that you can do everything with a propane burner that you could do with a "normal" truck, too.So to egalize the less amount of horses (ca.10%) when youīre running on propane change your airfilter, get a accell ignition upgrade with better sparkplugs(Bosch 4+),change your headers and get a aftercat exhaust.</P>


Let me know, Mikel (Dodge Germany)</P>
