Have you looked at the fuel system? i.e. fuel pressure regulator, fuel
filter. Vaccuum lines in good shape? Try putting a vaccuum gauge on the
engine and see if there is any problem with back pressure in the cat (the
gauge will increase in pressure when you accelerate). EGR/ Transducer assy
working good? Electrical connections good and clean at the computer? I had a
similar roblem with mine a while back and it seemed like I replaced and
checked everything before it got better, just hang in there.

my front end doesnt have any play what-so-ever. My ball joints as well as

Subject: DML: MSD 6-Offroad:Inline Fuse??
I am expecting my MSD 6-Offroad Ignition box to come this week and I have a
question concerning it. While I was at the auto parts store today buying
some
side post bolts(to which I plan on use to use only to power accessories,
MSD,
fog lights,etc.) becuase my main power comes from my top posts, I noticed
some inexpensive inline fuse kits ranging from $2-5. Now with the universal
MSD harness(8873) and the box(6470) itself, this will be a $225 upgrade,
which I want to protect from anything possible. I don't have to worry about
vibrations and water, but do I need to with electrical??? Will installing an
inline fuse into the power wire be wortwhile? Waste of time? Also, if it is
a
good idea, what amp kit should I get? I see in the MSD catalog the current
requirements for the 6470 box is 5 amps at 5,000 RPM and 10 amps at 10,000
RPM(hope I never reach that!). They have ones upto 30 amps and ones for 30
amps and over. THANKS!

Bernd,
I saw that at my previous job, although I can't remember what we did to
rectify it.
I'll call my ex-boss and see if he remembers what it was.

Subject: DML: MPI Intake is here!
All,
About a week ago, I placed an order for an MPI single plane intake with
Koller Dodge. (P/N P5249816) The price worked out to be about $205 plus
another ~$15 for shipping. It arrived on my doorstep today. There's no
messin' around with the air like with the stock intake. This one just
takes it from the intake and dumps it directly into the heads. A pretty
simple design, really. I'm planning on placing a call to MP to see what is
involved to get this thing installed. There are some instructions with it,
but they leave much to be desired. I took a look in the Magnum Engines
book; no help there. I'm about to read the intake section of my FSM, but
here are some concerns and such that I have from looking at the intake:
The thermostat housing seems to be different. It looks bigger, but I
guess that could be my immagination. There is a threaded port coming out
the front of the thermostat housing, two slightly smaller ones on each
side, and a smaller one still on the passenger side of the intake. (I'm
almost positive the small one is for the coolant temp sensor, and I'm
guessing that one of the medium sized ones is for the heater hose, but I'm
completely baffled on the other two.
There is exactly one port into the main plenum of the intake, and that's
at the back of the intake. I have no idea what its for, but my stock
intake has no less than 3 ports. (manifold air temp, PCV valve hose, and a
hose that goes to a "T", one of which runs to that "ball" on the firewall
(which then T's again, and one end goes to the cruise control motor), the
other end of which runs through the firewall into the cab somewhere.
I'm not quite sure how the EGR works on this manifold, but then again,
I'm not really all that sure what the EGR *is*. I have a 1996, which I've
heard has an "internal EGR". ?
Injector spacing: This is one area that appears to be OK. Hopefully the
info that Frank got was wrong. I measured between the stock injectors and
the bosses on the MPI, and they appear to be the same (somewhere in the
1.35" neighborhood), and the same goes for the spacing between the 2 sets
of injectors (somewhere slightly less than 7 3/4"). As you can tell, it
wasn't the most accurate measurement in the world, but it looks OK to me.
According to the directions, you have to make up a couple of ~2" spacers
to mount the fuel rail. (The TB adaptor appears to have the mounts for the
other 2)
It does indeed come with a very nice adaptor for mounting the stock TB to
the intake. (The P/N on the adaptor itself is P4532732). Although the MPI
intake is P5249816, the bottom of this intake says P4532587 and P4532731,
and it also has a date: "1.05.98". The top of the intake has the Mopar
logo, and "M1" in a diamond, and the letters "BB" off to the side. (Also
says "Firing order 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2")
This doesn't appear to be a simple bolt-on; looks like there will be some
work involved, but hopefully less than adapting an M1...
If anyone has any questions, I'll be happy to try to answer 'em, but I
don't know much about the intake right now. I was hoping to pop this thing
on before the wednesday night drags, but it looks like there's going to be
some work involved. :-(
If anyone has any ideas or tips and such, I'd be happy to hear 'em. :-)
(Though I immagine if anyone knew anything about 'em we'd have heard from
ya by now.) I will definitely be documenting the install on the upgrades
page; I hate to be a pioneer with this type of thing, but mebbe I'll be
able to make it less painful for anyone else who wants to upgrade.)

Do you use a Palm Pilot and Pocket Mirror software? I think it is part of
the PM software that interfaces with outlook 98.
I did find it under my regestrey the value should be ste to "j". You may
want to just re-install your pocket mirror software if that is infact what
this is.

Subject: DML: New Air Intake
I had been using an AIRAID intake system on my 98 R/T but I never like
having to use the factory corrugated tube from the air box. I bought an
aluminized 90 degree mandrel bent 3.5" tube which has about a 9" on each
side of the 90. I cut the 90 in half and ended up with two 45 degree tubes.
I took the conical filter and attached it to the straight end and attached
the 45 to the factory air box. Since the air box is slightly smaller in
diameter (approx. 3"), I had to use thin weather stripping to seal that end.
I used a rubber collar from a plumbing supply house and two hose clamps to
secure it. I spent $28 for the 90 degree bend ( makes two intakes) $5 for
rubber collar and hose clamps. total cost not including filter is $20 per
intake. The aluminized coating looks real good when it's buffed and clear
coated. I made a fiberglass mold of the factory airbox and will be using it
to made a better flowing box with a 3.5" inlet. Also need to rig up a cold
air baffle similar to the Gen II units.
Guess I'll be selling the AIRAID soon. Also need to look for a larger
conical filter. Any part numbers?

The Threaded port coming out front goes to water pump, small ones are for
temp senders. Medium for heater hose. plug off what you dont use. There
is
no EGR on a 96, so dont worry about that. The port on the back of the
intake
plenum is for power brake hose or PCV, or both. You will probably have to
drill a couple holes and screw some fittings in the manifold top or adaptor
to run the vacuum hoses. the hose to the "ball" is cruise control. the one
into the firewall runs all your heater controls. If you can, can you
measure
the opening on top of the manifold for me?? Thanks! Also, take some pics
of
the manifold and adaptor, and send them to me and the list! I am gonna have
my father make an adaptor, and I want to know what it should look like!
Thanks!

Found it...and it was RMDR.IQ. HP's uninstaller for the OfficeJet printers
leaves an entry within the WIN.INI (Load=....) that tries to load their
"Registration Wizard". The uninstaller doesn't clean out that entry and it
has to be manually removed. I didn't notice it since I had an HP printer on
the local systems. (Previous printer was removed from the systems.)
Thanks to all who helped....well, back to my Dak. :)
