it fizzled when I hit the igniter (grill igniter), uncapped it and aimed it away clicked a few times and nothing, looked inside to make sure I still had arc between my 2 contacts, clicked 3 times and had arc, 3rd time blew up in my face tho lol

Teach you to look in the breach of a weapon that's not completely clear.

I'm fairly experienced with these things because I've grown up with a gun nut dad and we've had several of these, just trying out a different fuel source this time, had some extra AXE laying around, goin back to the old favorite of hairspray

Also today on the way home from ^^ tested my tires with a quick punch and one broke EASY, how bad is the death flash for 2001s?

2001 IS the Deathflash. No different then any other Ram that was reflashed.

Open diff? 31in tires? That'll do it. lol

Well I have never heard that term death flash before so I did a bit of quick googling. Any way to tell if mine has been flashed ?

2000-1 trucks have the DF stock. Some trucks can still chirp, most others can't.

Eh, cuts it enough. A tuner from anyone will help wake it up.

Well I'm about to re install the tuning on mine with my SCT. I left it off for a little bit. My dad felt it would be a good idea since the engine was out for a while. Idk. Made a little sense.

Well, if it's strong now, it will be even stronger with the SCT back on it. :D

Sorry I meant Superchips not SCT. I used to think SCT was an abbreviation for super chips tuner (I'm not big on electronic mods as you can tell) and I keep forgetting they aren't the same lol

Yeah lol. And I'm now running higher octane. I used to run 87. At the moment I'm mixed between old 87 octane that's running pretty ****** and some 93 octane I just put in. Then I'm going to run 89 from then

Put some mufflers on it. Running no mufflers is only good for making noise, you actually make less power than you would if you had a muffler. If you have true duals, make sure you also have an H or X pipe.
