I bet the stock 47RE goes 1st!!!

Looks like we have one vote for Georgia.

 

How many miles on the truck? Maybe the starter contacts will go first.
Search ebay; get a set BEFORE the starter quits.
here is one.

 

The starter contacts already went. Before I knew you could get them I bought a new starter. oh well. I only have 83000 on it so hopefully the tranny will last a while. Hey Streetsmoker just read a thread on another site about running to much psi on the new trucks and ruinning the injectors. Just my two cents.

 

Only problems people seem to have is with the Edge EZ or similiar pressure only boxes and running them wide open all the time. I don't have a pressure problem, it's more a conflict of personalities among my Edge and BDPP influenced ECM when the speed limiter kicks in.

 

Well I think you are right about the tranny. The first time I romped on it hard and let off it started acting up. The TC was locking and unlocking, it was changing gears back and forth. I dont think it liked it much.

 

Ooops!
So much for the theory that Injectors *or* box are safe for stock auto.
Then again, maybe you have 275 injectors in it and don't know it. That would put you in the *and* category.

 

I know when I worked at the dodge dealer....briefly...6 months....our tranny guy stayed pretty busy all the time. He messed with a few of the truck auto's but most of the trucks on the road around here at the time were farm trucks with 5/6 speeds. The rest of dodges trannies at that time were, ahhhhhh, well....not so good either. I heard though that they were supposed to have improved them A LOT with the new....what is it, 48re?? I hope so, got the wife convinced that a quad cab, with the Cummins and auto would be a good family hauler First step, drop the exhaust.....guages....chip/box........"why's it go so fast honey??"....."ahhhh, I don't know

Hey Wrglr did you go out 20 down there by Cullman? I drove that way back from Atlanta a few months back. Not a bad drive, I did not like the idea of driving up 24 north to Nashville, then cutting down 65 south to get to my house as Mapquest said I should do.....

Ok, is that edge pretty good? I have heard a lot about the smarty but I would like to change on the fly if I have to.....bad mosquito swarm or something And anymore about where we might meet next? I heard one vote for Georgia, I hate to say my neck of the woods, seems like a long, long drive for most of you, except maybe Scoutman. Well, wifes yellin about dinner!

 

The ride is pretty nice except for those bama drivers! So far I love the edge. Man it lit a fire under my trucks a?? I love having all the alerts. Got the fuel pressure alert about five times. But it helped me figure out why I was lossing pressure. My original lift pump started shorting the system out. the knife on the wires got things back to normal.
Depending on if my pops is up for it, he has a huge shop about 2600 sq ft. in lead hill arkansas. I know it is only about three hours for you memphis guys. 14 for me. But hey just shotting ideas.

 

Whoa whoa whoa, your pops name isnt Brian by chance is it? You know, the living legend of the 4R100 transmission????? The one whos shirt I am wearing right now as we speak Powerstroke logo and all??????

 

No sorry to disappoint. Same name as me but im not a junior. hehe

 

And just what are you thinkin. If your truck found out it just might decide not to take you to work in the morning.

 

Hey I have to defend Brian and BTS, not once did I get any flack from him or his guys for having the only Dodge at his open house event back in April. Maybe it's cause I posted the 2nd highest dyno #'s there , but who knows. He said he would love to get into dodge trannies, but has a waiting period of 3months rite now just doing the Ford stuff, so as long as he's busy with them, we can only sit and wait. He did say of all the Dodge tranny gurus in the USA, Goerend Bro. has his vote as the best.

 

WOW guys, The Fabtech off road suspension truck was in our shop today. It was cool and I have to give a big thumds up to William Smith. He was great to all of us. We got t-shirts and hats and DVD's and Bottle openers and stickers and all kinds of cool things. The best thing I got was information about a lift for my truck. They really seem to have their stuff down in the R&D department. He is gonna find out some answers from the R&D department for me and call me back. After feeling the lack of flex from my superlift set up, I am willing to try anyones system. It was a real treat and I got to get out of the office and help work on the truck to. Me and another tech worked together on it. Had a bad air dryer that was bypassing the discharge signal air into the purge air and wouldnt let the compressor unload.

 

Hey Dmax, you gonna lift your Dodge! How high you thinking about going? I saw a picture a while back of a 3500 with serious lift on it and great big mud killing tires. I liked it cause it was still dualled in the back. I think the duallies look awesome with the lift on them, just hard to work on! Not that us Dodge guys have to worry about that.....just our aftermarket toy installations!
Was that a subliminal flame against other brands?? I miss working on the diesels, at the dodge dealer that was the joy, when one came in, even if it was suspension/interior work or something other than the engine. At least I got to here it rattle in the shop. Now it's crappy ol' cadillacs......not even worth waking up in the morning! Should have a bored or yawn smiley on this list

Wrglrroper, did you want some of those foam things for under your bhaf? I had the new car guys pull some off this week and I've got 6 now, looking for two more. There free for the taking if you or ProspectorTim want them. They've worked good on mine so far.

 

Yeah save me a couple of them and hopefully it wont be to long before everyone gets together again. I know im guilty but has anybody put pics of the trucks up yet.
