Hey John, I've also got a 88 4x4 Dak, and I've hed the same problem. It
ended up being some loose wires at the computer (causing the intermittant
problem with the electronics), a toasted O2 sensor, and a bad Vaccuum
trnsducer valve(wich comes with the EGR valve when you buy them from the
dealer). I've got a factory service manual, e-mail me if you need more help.

Subject: DML: AAR R/T Hood received
Picked up my AAR R/T hood today. I'm very pleased with the quality.
I hope to have it painted in a couple weeks. I'll have pics as soon
as it is complete.
I talked to the guy at AAR about the problem with fiberglass bubbling
the paint. He told me that the method they use to make their parts
leaves little chance of this happening, but it is possible. There's
not much you can do for roll pans and such but to let them sit a
while. For those getting a fiberglass hood, he said you may want to
put it on and drive around with it for a week or two. The heat from
the engine while dry any places. So, if you see a guy in a green
dak, with a white hood---it's just me.

Subject: DML: Pulling in o/d
Quick question everyone:
I've got a 98' std cab 318 3:55 5pd Dak. Im going turkey hunting next
month and I plan to pull a 2,000# pop-up camper up to the northren
parts of Michigan. I know the truck will easly pull the trailer in 5th
at 65-70 mph., assuming no steap briges, but should I leave it 4th to
save on my trans??? I've heard that you should leave the trans. out of
o/d for autos but what about manual transmissions?

I think that as long as your tranny isn't 'hunting' or going in and out of
OD, you'll be OK. I don't really condone towing at high speeds, but your
engine will be making more power there & it will be easier on the tranny.
If you have an doubts, turn the OD off, it will only hurt your mileage &
maybe a little wear&tear on the engine from the higher rpms.

I like the fact you offer a return option. I had my TB machined to 52mm.
Added a k&n filter and lost 4+ponies. Dyno tests prove it. Now Im out 220
for the machine work and 275 for the new TB. It has allot better throttle
response and a big bore sound when at WOT. I would have bet my paycheck it

Subject: DML: R&D Performance now offers TB modifications!! (lengthy
content)
Hey folks,
With all of this TB modification talk going on, I've decided to offer a
blueprinted, high precision CNC machined throttle body at a fair price
without the large waiting period.
The main focus we had when prototyping these throttle bodies was quality, as
with any other of our products. Several extra steps were taken to increase
the quality and airflow capabilities of the throttle body that you won't
find
anywhere else without really paying for it.
Here's how it works;
We start with a stock throttle body and disassemble it.
Everything is then cleaned and prepped, and then the unit is placed in one
of
our CNC controlled verticle machining centers (mill). The unit is then given
a large enough overbore to clean up the factory back bore and open the
entire
throttle body to that diameter all the way through. This is one of the most
important steps in our TBs, as it completely removes the large "step" in the
throat of the throttle body that causes a big restriction. It also
completely
corrects the factory's messy machine work. You won't get this from a
throttle
body that uses the factory diameter bore. It does take extra time, it does
cost more, but rather than making this an option or upgrade, we included it
in the base price.
The next step is to machine a 7 degree taper to remove the factory's rough
casting job and blend to the throttle body's new intake diameter. This step
opens up the stacks on the top of the throttle body and smooths the
transition to the new, larger air intake bores.
Now that the bores of the throttle body are done, new throttle plates are
essential as the stock ones won't fit. Rather than using a cheap, stamped
aluminum throttle plate that would fit so-so in the bore, we created a
special fixture that holds the new throttle plates (constructed of 303
stainless steel) in the machine at the position they would be at when the
throttle is closed. To understand what I'm saying, you would probably have
to
take a look at one off the truck, but the plates sit at a slight angle when
your foot is off the gas, not flat. With the new SS plates held at this
angle, they are then milled to perfectly match the throttle body's new bore
and sit at that perfect angle. The stainless plates actually increase the
strength of the shaft assembly over using aluminum plates, and usually,
angle
milling the throttle plates is overlooked by most hot rodders that would
rather use already made stamped aluminum pieces (much easier, more cost
effective), but this is just another one of the features you'll find in this
unit.
The next step is to address the throttle shaft. The stock shaft is bulky,
very thick, and not the best design for a high flow application. There will
be a new stainless shaft option here that will cost slightly extra, but we
do
modify the stock shafts as well for the budget minded. The stock shaft is
counter bored & tapped for socket flat head stainless steel screws. This
means that the screws are "sunk" into the shafts diameter and do not
protrude
into the throttle bore. The shaft is then equally cut on both sides for a
thinner cross section in the bore. The result is even more air flow.
The bores and blades are then hand polished to a high luster and assembled,
and the screws in the shaft are tig welded in place for your engine's
absolute security. The stock shaft also receives a special coating to
prevent
the corrosion on bare steel.
The results? Impressive. We're very confident with our throttle body
modifications that we'll back them with a satisfaction guarentee. I
seriously
doubt this scenerio will ever pop up, but, if you are unhappy with the
performance increases as a result of these modifications, just return the
unit and you'll receive your money back... it's that easy.
The next step is to finish testing new shaft designs... This should happen
very soon, but I'm not sure how this will effect the pricing of the just
yet.
Pricing is still up in the air, but I expect to offer everything I've listed
(and possibly more) in the mid-high $200 range. I'm looking for your input
on
what you all think.
As for production status, I only need to find a better source of throttle
bodies so I can do this on an exchange basis more efficiently. Maybe someone
on the list could point me in the right direction? Large back order times
due
to the lack of machine time shouldn't be a worry. The programs are written,
the product is ready, and I can start taking orders as soon as I get a
pricing structure set up.
I'll have a page available at http://members.aol.com/rdperform/tbimod.html
within the next few days.
Look foward to hearing from those that are interested...

Subject: DML: Hooker Headers and .............
I see that my new issue of Mopar Muscle has an article on Dakota Power
Secrets. Well, not much new information there, but I did see that Hooker is
offering a 1 5/8 inch primary tube header (full length) designed for track
engines. It is not a bolt on item, as it requires a custom exhaust system
past the collector and minor collector to chassis clearancing. Now you
would
need dual cats for this set up, but if these tubes are anything like the
Super Comps on my Charger, they will be great additions for performance.
Guess I will have to be the test mule. Jim in San Antonio and I will be
looking into this.
There was also some interesting information on oil filters and spark plugs.
Heck, pick up a copy of the rag and read for yourselves!!!
E-mail me off list, as I am in digest mode.

John, have you checked the O2 sensor? I had a surging/backfire type problem

You shouldn't have any problems. If you are running on predominantly flat
land, 5th is 'ok' with a light load like that. I've actually pulled about
4500#
in my '95 SLT with 3.92 gearing (in 5th gear) on predominantly flat land,
but also
needed to run about 65 mph or higher to make it useful. With your 3.55
gearing
a high profile trailer and /or 3000#+ trailer would be working in 5th gear
on flat
land under 70 mph... If speed isn't an issue, you might try running 4th
gear up to
3000 rpm for extended periods is okay. It's the equivalent to running 80-85
MPH
in 5th... and I've done that for about 9 hours worth.

Russ,
What things have you done to your truck? I was wondering how much extra
flow you have to need more fuel with it. I am thinking about putting a
potintiometer in both connections, I could just add resistance to it and
make it seem colder. If I did that with a A/F ratio gauge, I think I
could dial it in after a few WOT bursts.
