    LLY: puff of blue smoke at start-up

    my truck does this with mild tuning and less that 40K on stock motor. Nothing to worry about.

    My Daughters first hunt with Dad!

    nice!! Its good to see the youth out hunting! I don't get to do it as much as I did growing up, friggin "JOB" is time consuming!! My bro-n-law just took my nephew out hunting in east TX last weekend. They bagged a nice buck. When he got back home he asked his mom to put on Bambi, then...

    door locks

    OEM or aftermarket? I need to order a new one today, I don't need my truck sitting with a door unlocked overnight (incase I forget to check the passenger door). Someone broke into it less than 1 month ago and stole everything not bolted down.

    door locks

    I've already had the driver door actuator replaced and now the passenger door look has quit working. Any suggestions on replacements that may last longer? From searching the web, it looks like it is a common problem. Russ

    2009 vs 2008

    I would love to have 4.10's in my truck. I hated the 305/55r20's because 6th gear was below the power curve, had to cruise at 75-80 just to keep the engine happy when pulling any kind of a load. Went back to the stock 245's, better for fuel mileage and towing! :D Looks like shat tho!!

    strange 1st-2nd shift

    alright, now with the quadzilla 90hp tune it is going to the rev limiter in 1st and shifting, bounching off the rev limiter in 2nd before shiting into 3rd but the converter is lockingup in 3rd again. Is it possible I am getting a bad VSS reading at the transmission? I can't get my MPH to...

    strange 1st-2nd shift

    i'm trying different tunes right now. I'm at a loss, confused trying to figure this out. I remember with the quadzilla tunes boosted launches shifted great, it was the mid throttle shifts that were odd.

    strange 1st-2nd shift

    both rolling around 5mph and from a stand still, no boosted launches.

    just thinking out loud

    If the new dodges are as comfortable on the interior as my dmax, i'm probably going to be trading off next year, just have to wait and see

    just thinking out loud

    its crazy that a 350-400hp duramax feels so much more impressive than a 450-500hp 5.9L dodge (both stock auto tranmissions). dmax's are just quick!

    strange 1st-2nd shift

    logged 4 passes at WOT, during 3rd gear the revs are around 3400 rpms and trans slip rpms are up to 800. Remaining at WOT, it has no problem shifting and locking the converter (+/- 8rpms) in 4th gear. 1-2nd shifts are great, but 2-3 and while in 3rd something strange is going on. any ideas

    Vehicle Insurance

    I'm at $520/6months for an 08 dmax with Farm Bureau. I think marriage drops it 20%, then you get the multi car discount of 10% and if you buy a house it drops another 20%. All depends on your driving record, credit, etc.

    strange 1st-2nd shift

    UPDATE IdahoRob fixed the problem, just a slight change in the tune fixed everything up. Shifts spot on! Here's a mechanical problem that is developing. After I let the truck sit with the engine off for a couple of hours during the day or overnight (and I let my truck idle before driving)...

    towing

    Ok, if the tranny comes out I'm going to at least go with Mike's converter and if I can I will go into the clutch packs to get at least a stage III and maybe a stage IV. that will depend on time and money at the time of the build. For the time being, I need to test and log data to determine if...

    towing

    Looking for a converter for a truck that tows heavy loads (10-15Klbs) every other weekend but also plays hard during the week with no load. Truck will be driven an average of 100miles per day during the week and when towing on the weekends the trips could be 500-1500miles. Converter will be...
