Is it possible you could add the links to each part on your first post... This way we could easily find direct links to all the parts... like linking them all together since they are all directly related.
This would allow us to go back and continue our conversations here in the new tread.
Pics...First two is of the prototype intake with the new desgin/relocation of the bracket. The last one is of my aftermarket waterpump and waterpump pulley...
Please go back and asked them why the made the same mistake twice!
I can not freaking believe they mounted one end of the intake to the engine (Which MOVES) and the other end to a FIXED location... Please tell me I'm missing something. But from everything I can see, they made the same darn mistake just moved it to a new location.
Please go back to them and explain to them that the engine torques to the passengers side under load... It freaking moves ALOT! They need to build the system to take this movment into consideration... if not they will have another pile of broken intakes in a short period of time.
Mount the bracket to the ENGINE which would allow ALL the movment in the world. Mounting it to a FIXED location is NOT a good way to mount the intake.
i installed a 70mm F&B throttle body (from AIR RAM) about a month ago on my dakota.i really noticed a difference at about 4500rpm and above,pulls hard.just one thing,when driving after a warmup it idles high(around 1000 rpm) at stoplights and such.and thats with the A/C off or on,it does not matter.you guys with aftermarket TBs had that problem?i wonder would the TPS mod fix it?thanks in advance
I purchased a 70mm SQC throttle body from highdollar last year and it was idling high as well. I ended up adjusting a screw on the passenger side that stops the butterfly from closing all the way. The only problem is it is an allen head bolt with a "pin" in the middle, so it had to search around a bit to find a tool to adjust it. I did get it to settle back to 600 RPM and it has been fine since. Also reset the PCM while you are at it ...
thanks ggravant,i'll look into it tomorrow morning.yea the install instructions suggested a PCM reset and said it might take up to 30 start and stop cycles(cold-operating temp-cool down)before the PCM would learn the new TB.i have reset the PCM maybe 3 times periodically and at 60 or 70 cycles and still idles high.but i'll check for that adjustment screw in the morning.thanks
Sure. Another thing that helped me was to re-calibrate the throttle position sensor. This is how I did it on my Ram - not sure if it works the same on a Dak:
1. Remove PCM fuse (it is fuse #23 on my 04 4.7L)
2. Sit in car, buckle up and turn on the key and wait for three dings.
3. Turn of the key, install the fuse and sit in car again.
4. Turn on the key, but do not start it, then SLOWLY push the pedal to the floor and SLOWLY release it. That will re-calibrate the TPS sensor.
yea i have reset the PCM on my ram that way but i've always disconnected the negative battery cable on the dakota usually to clear a thermostat code or something,never tried the fuse pull method.i'll take a look tomorrow and thanks.
Right now I have 2 H/O engines and the one NON H/O in my truck.
We currently have a 2002 H/O and a 2006 H/O.
That is the 2006 H/O engine in the picture though... I have not done anything to it yet... its just playing "MOCK UP" or you could say its bench warming.
H/O we are building is out of site in the picture. I will be contacting ARP for the Stud bolt kit tomorrow. We will be studding the Girdle & the Heads. We should have the ARP bolt kits up on the site shortly after.
Exactly.... you need to refrain from touching the throttle for the first 3 start ups... Just fire it up and let it find idle on its own... then let it idle till its up to running temp... Then turn it off and on and let it find idle again... Then turn it off and on and after it finds idle... slowly bring the RPMs to 2000 and hold for a second or two... then let off and let it find idle... Do this process 3-4 times then turn the truck off and do it all over again but this time bring it up to 3,000 RPMs... After that turn it off and on and take it for a SLOW RIDE... let the fuel additives re-learn the curve...
This is how I reset after messing with ANY mod that increases air flow. I feel it helps... and it also helps prevent little GREMLINS.
SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM
