  1. Gen 2 Dodge Ram
    So my idea is to put a turbocharger on my Dodge V10 Magnum. The turbo only really needs to be effective below 3000 rpm, 2500 down to 1200 or something like that would be fine. 7 psi or less. Just thinking what turbo would work for this, what size is optimal, etc. The truck runs strong, but the...
  2. HD RAM - GENERAL DISCUSSION
    So I've always wondered since the bellhousing pattern on the Ram V10s are the same as the Cummins, is a 68RFE swap possible? The stock trans themselves aren't that expensive, and they sure can handle the torque. It seems that a spacer, transmission mount adapter, and torque converter pilot are...

    I have had this 99 ram v10 with the 47RE for a few years now and only ever had to do common maintenance. But now I actually need it and when I took it out of town a couple days ago it constantly hunts for overdrive from about 40mph and up. Also lost cruise control at when it started doing this...

    So ... my boyfriend borrowed my truck and fell asleep at the wheel running into the median on the highway. I have changed all the control arms and the stabilizer bar and two tires, after doing this I drove it, started and vehicle ran and drove maybe 3 times, very short distances. Upon the 4th...

    So I picked up a 98 3500 with the V10 and a 5 speed in it. Unfortunately I came across cylinder 2 with a broken intake valve. What kind of cams, lifters, pistons, injectors etc. have people put in it as I use it to tow my 5th wheel camper and would definitely like to pull some more HP and torque...

    A couple of weeks ago the cam wiped out in my truck. The stupid lifter yoke broke a tab and allowed the lifter turn sideways on the cam. I chose to go with the crower stage 1 cam p/n 35417. It is not listed in their print catalog. You can get the specs online for it. DJ at Crower was a big help...

    I have a 1997 2500 v10 that needs a new crank position sensor. I have called over 2 dozen auto parts stores, 6 dealerships, and even several auto salvage yards in my area. No one has the part and none of the warehouses have the part to send to the stores. I tried the online stores too but the...

    Hey guys. Heres the situation. Truck has irregular backfiring that can be heard from exhaust and intake. First 1/4 of accelerator pedal travel is when its noticed. Past that first bit, the truck will take off with more than enough power to scoot on down the road and no backfiring what so ever...

    Just wondering what every1 is running as far as timing advance/retard and which plugs? Looking to see what's best out there as far as durability, power, and MPGs. How often do you change your plugs and wires. What type of problems if any. And what is your set up - build? Thanks, any additional...

    She doesn't sound good. 1500 to 2500 in neutral and or drive, it knocks a lot. Hoping it was the purge valve but not a chance. Exhaust leak at the manifold? Figure if it was rod or such it would make the noise throughout the power band? All other aspects of truck are great. Idles perfect...
