Been thinking about one and was curious of what brand people recommend, lengths and do I have enough truck to do it? I have a 98 Ram 2500 with a 360 v8 auto.

Fix the track bar problem with this.

[www.genosgarage.com]

Originally the idea started with me that I gave to a guy in Canada and I guess he didn't patent it and BD diesel copied it. Anyrate, that will fix the problem permanently.

Also put a steering box brace on. You will notice the difference.

Lower ball joints where non greasable, lasted about 50,000 miles.

The over priced unitized non greasable wheel bearings was a bad idea.

Yes the Carter lift pump was junk, again I spent $4000 and I don't feel that I should have to re-engineer the fuel system. Chrysler later moved the fuel pump inside the tank if you brought the truck in for a failed lift pump. Problem with that setup was it lacked fuel pressure which is the lifeline of the VP44.

I had the FASS on mine. Pricey, didn't really notice any difference.

The final straw which wasn't the trucks fault was Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel. The engine got louder, fuel mileage dropped, had gelling issues for the first time and the price of engine oil went up because they had to change the formulation for it. The VP44 had a lubrication problem from the get go, this only made it worse.

I work with some guys who worked for Cummins. They weren't big fans of Bosch.

I highly recommend the RV275 injectors, that made the truck fun.
