    Probably a gimmick! Excited to see though, I’ll let you know what I find out.

    Just Another 2nd Gen Ram Build

    Well, this is how it usually goes on my "Project Threads". I post something, and then don't come back to it for months. Not too much to report on, I drove the truck quite a bit going on mountain bike adventures. Got the Carli spring situation sorted out and it rides way better now. I think it...

    Question on Timbren bump stops...

    No experience with Timbren, just know they are more for towing use. I have the Sumo Spring bump stops. They have 3 different densities, I'm using the black one which is medium duty. Same material that Thuren Boogie Bumps are made from. So I can recommend those definitely!

    2002 Dodge 2500 Sport Build (CAL)

    Hot Shot's Secret! I run the Black Diamond oil, plus their EDT and Diesel extreme for fuel additives. You're only supposed to use the diesel extreme once every 6000mi to clean things out, but the EDT is for every fuel up. I've ran lots of diesel additives in my racing days, and have settled on...

    1998.5 Dodge Ram CTD - Sally

    Wow I had no idea about the increased noise! That's intense! Speaking of that, I still need to order the Quiet Kit from ATP, did you ever get the rest of it installed? Also agree with you on the slow speed driving, especially with the offroading you do. I guess not all drag racing tricks can...

    1998.5 Dodge Ram CTD - Sally

    Dude, this is awesome! You honestly might get away with no intercooler if you run maybe 3 water/methanol nozzles to keep things cool. I used Snow Performance during my drag racing and it makes a big difference.

    Went up to the mountains this weekend, dang truck didnt want to start. It took a good 4 or 5 rounds of cranking to get it going. It was like those cold start videos you see online, just pluming gray smoke and only firing on a couple cylinders at first. I thought the worst, since it's never done...

    Just Another 2nd Gen Ram Build

    It is amazing, and thank you! That's right! I was the one to push him to get that pintop kit, and he had a better experience than I did thankfully. Also, that's one of the most common things with these trucks. Everyone wants max hp, but no one knows what it takes to get there or how rough...

    I’m out of Monterey! And thank you! Duncan is well aware lol he also told me that the truck isnt a “light prerunner”, its full on! ? Speaking of Duncan, his turbo transformed the truck. I can use cruise control now that the spool up is so quick. I think this is his 60mm HX35R with race cover...

    Just Another 2nd Gen Ram Build

    Thank you!! I've taken very good care of this truck over the years. And believe it or not, high horsepower old diesels dont drive very well on the street!! But believe me, there's some days I wish I had that power back.. I also had the foresight to buy a cheap Craigslist hood for $50 and...

    Just Another 2nd Gen Ram Build

    Here's the "Finished for Now" result: I'm starting to get some recovery gear put together, along with how I'm going to arrange everything in the bed. But man, what a difference. Being able to drive this thing like I used to before I raced it, it's been great. I hit many speed bumps along the...

    Just Another 2nd Gen Ram Build

    Hey all, Not used to posting Threads, but figured I could start one to periodically update. I own a 1999 Dodge ram 2500 with the Cummins diesel. I've owned this truck since high school (10+ years now) and it has seen many different iterations in it's time. Yes, it used to be lowered. I drag...

    1998.5 Dodge Ram CTD - Sally

    Wow, the sound level of a duramax? I'm sold. My neighbors have been giving me stares lately ever since I got the dodge running again.. How long would you say it took them to ship the parts out for you? Or were they already in stock? I'll have to give them a call this week. Thank you for all of...

    1998.5 Dodge Ram CTD - Sally

    Man, this build just gets better and better. Are there any updates on the ATP sound insulation pieces you installed? I've been really interested in picking that kit up for my truck. They don't list costs or anything on their site either, and like you said not much about them on forums. You're...
