I nominate stickshiftsrule's efan install thread

I think an edited version of this thread would be great. Maybe with some contributions from other users on how they may have done it as well.

Actually, I think this one is actually already added. Ill double check. I remember seeing it and thought I added it.

Ill try to double check when I get back in town and if it is not..... I will add it...

Can anyone get in touch with "Stickshiftrule" and see if wouldn't mind looking at it and cleaning it up a bit. maybe adding anything esle he may have to it?

Thanks,

Dane

Hey gary thanks for the nomination, cool I was the 1st one.........

Dane, How would I go about cleaning up my thread?
Or do you want me to re-do my original 1st post and add any new stuff?

-Andy

Hey - no problem Andy. I saw how many people were reading it and benefiting from it, so that is what it is all about, right?

Do you think those pictures of how I installed the hurst shifter and then modified the handle are worth a how-to, or am I the last guy on Earth with a Ram with a 5 speed

Sorry Andy, I was tired last night... Your thread is fine. Ill copy it over and remove the non-relevant posts.

Congrats!

ABSOLUTELY! Do a write up and submit it please!

Dane, thanks! I will add more to it as soon as I can.

Gary, the pics you have are good, just need to do the right-up part as Dane said.
You are 1 of only 3 members I know of that have/had a hurst in a ram, but maybe more will follow......

You may want to find out if your write-up can be used to help 2nd gen dakota's as well.
Since I'm sure that is a more common mod over there.
You get to do a two-fer!.......

-Dane (or any moderator that can help).......
I have more stuff I'd like to add to my e-fan install how-to.
How I would I go about doing that?

Do you want me to post it here?....Or PM it to one of you when I have it ready?

-Andy

Andy, I apologize. I have been out of town NON STOP and just now getting back to answer these.

PM me and Ill move the thread to a location where you can edit it, and then Ill move it back into the Rotation.

Thanks again!

Dane

Thanks Dane, I'll let you know when I'm ready.
....BTW.......will it let me edit a post that old?

That's one great thread on installing an eFAN.

Is it possible for the admins to copy and clip in a few others onto that very same HOW TO? There is another thread that deals with eFans ( http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/show...1&page=1&pp=20 ), but isn't a true HOW TO. Some of the postings are like mini HOW TO's and would be a great benefit the existing HOW TO eFan.

So, I would like to sub-submit the following:

http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/show...7&postcount=26

http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/show...0&postcount=29

http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/show...8&postcount=30

http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/show...7&postcount=38

Also, if the admins think that any of the text postings in that discussion are note worthy to add to the HOW TO eFan, that would help many as well.

I for one plan on doing an eFan mod since Dave has increased his highway fuel economy up to 19mpg !!!!! That's less load on the engine. It sure beats 12mpg highway anyday!

Well, anything added from this yet?

Not by me.......I was waiting to hear back from Dane.......

I think I am going to just re-do (and add to) my thread in the test forum when I get the chance. (and time).

I noticed today that my truck gets almost the same gas mileage towing as it does empty!
Just would like to know if it is normal to rul a lil' hotter when towing? (half-way mark on temp guage).

Your helpful HOW TO and the others showing what can be done with tips are very much needed.

Where are we on this?

I agree with the very first person who started this thread by saying, "... I think an edited version of this thread would be great. Maybe with some contributions from other users on how they may have done it as well. ..."

That is why I added the other postings that either show additiona photos or very helpful information.

Whoever is to make this HOW TO must take the original thread and then a the additional clips from the other thread to it. This would make the eFan HOW TO exceptional well for others to lean and glean from.

I think that is the idea of starting the how-tos in this forum. People add to the how-to and finally a cleaned up version is put in it's permanent home.

Not the greatest way of doing it, but better than nothing. I have requested that dodgtalk add a wiki capability to the site. With this method it would be much easier to update/change/contribute to the how-tos in the same way that something like Wikipedia works.

Well, can you tell me if I would be able to edit my original how-to post if it was moved to another spot?

Everytime I have ever tried to edit an old post this site won't let me.

That is why I said (above) that I plan to redo my how-to and post it in the test-forum.
From there you can put it in place of my current how-to right?

I just need to find the time.........I type sloooooooowww.....

You could do a copy and paste and place it in the Test Forum. That way you could edit it within the edit time frame. Even better yet you could put it in a Word document and when your done with your edits you could then put it in a Forum.
