    Help installation on procharger

    Assuming the two large pipes are the intercooler pipes and they go to the intercooler mounted in the front, the picture is taken from the bottom.

    2005 Engine swap 6.4 into a 5.7 Best reman shop or factory option

    Keeping it easy swaps require using a reluctor wheel the same as your current pcm. Gen 3 is 58 tooth. The good news is most if not all stroker kits can be bought with a 58 tooth reluctor. IMO, a 5.7 block with a stroker kit will give you around 6.4 displacement. Put heads, cam and bolt-on's will...

    The cost of going fast? (397 build price list)

    I don't go to the track often and this last year none at all. So my data is dated.. last full pass was a 11.66 and if I remember 118mph. I up the boost and and made a partial pass and ran 1.358 60'.. blew the charge pipe. Red is a street truck and doesn't have a cage so tech always watching...

    Yep, 20k in a sroker motor is very easy to do. Love those hemis.

    Tuners for 06 1500 5.7l SLT 4x4

    HP Tuning imo is the only way to go. When custom tuning is wanted this is the way to go. I used Diablo CMR tuning and wanted flexability of fine tuning changes as I needed. The HPT downloaded the previous CMR tune making the new tune easy to work off of.

    Oil gage reads low

    3rd gen oil pressure gauge is a idiot light that looks like a pressure gauge. If the engine has minimal oil pressure the gauge will read mid range to make the operator feel good. Look it up, but I seem to remember 6psi was the cut off were it would cause the gauge to read low and give an alert...

    Truck reads empty and gas lit is on

    I have a 20 gal tank and the fill sensor set to read properly. When the low fuel light comes on I have 15 miles left if I drive very easily... around a 175 mile range.. In my case it is truely a idiot light..

    RPM's hang indefinitely between shifts

    That's funny I use to use the power steering switch to up my idle on the 03 pcm. I used a rpm window switch to open and close the PS switch. Back in the day big cams and 03 pcm was a bad combo. I also remember a guy did a manual trans swap and had a hanging idle. I believe he fixed it with a pcm...

    Gently weeping...bent rods AGAIN

    The cam bearings prevented the cam shaft from rotating. This sheared the cam's alignment pin. Causing the valve timing to nolonger be correct allowing the valves to contact the pistons preventing them from opening fully bending the push rods. Hopefully the bent push rods prevented the valves...

    Gently weeping...bent rods AGAIN

    The short story is the cam bearings need to be replaced. This requires engine removal. Most likely new cam and timing chain set. Since the engine hasn't had proper maintenance the crank and connecting rod bearings also require inspecting. You are so deep into the engine a rebuild makes the most...

    Gently weeping...bent rods AGAIN

    Your nasty oil burnt the cam bearings (rear) welding it to it's bearing and broke the cam alignment pin allowing the cam to be out of time.

    08 5.7 Missing

    Any codes? Should identify the missing cylinder. Inspect the spark plug to that cylinder. If dirty or excessive gap replace the plugs.. if miss continues, swap the coil with another cylinder and see if code follows the coil. If it does replace the coil...

    Coil Packs and Plug Wires recommendations

    MSD are red. ACCEL are yellow.. I haven't used their coils so can't evaluate their performance. 06+ dual coils eliminate the waste spark wires. Installing them require changing the electrical plug and newer valve covers. On my 03 (pro-street) I swapped to the 6.1 coils many years ago to...

    Injectors for 2003 5.7 HEMI

    Actually thinking about the pump pressure being 48psi for the 03 it would be a good argument that they are bigger than the 04+ since increasing pump pressure would increase flow requiring a smaller injector.

    Mismatched differentials

    I would count the front to confirm it is a 3:92... and if found to be a 3:92 then change the rear to match the front.

    Oooooffff. Rough looking spark plugs

    I would put a couple thousand miles on her and pull the plugs again to inspect.. I also suspect the coil, but a slight vacuum leak could also run the cylinder hot..

    Instructions to change an 03 Hemi PCM to an 05

    No problem we were all new when we started. I'm not 100% sure, but I think painless does both a pcm and harness as a package.

    Instructions to change an 03 Hemi PCM to an 05

    I like to keep things as simple as possible, so I chose non-skim. I would remove the skim module around the key and use a fresh 05 pcm that you know is clean and non-active. Be specific when you have your VIN installed and clearly state you want 05 pcm software with your 03 VIN. If your supplier...

    Instructions to change an 03 Hemi PCM to an 05

    If you are skim active and you want to keep the skim function then you should beable to use any 05 ram pcm that is NOT skim active. When it is plugged in it will communicate with the installed skim module and activate the pcm making it skim active. If you don't want skim active, then remove the...
