I ran across something that most people dont know about on these
trucks. I Have tried this trick on an 01 and my 02 truck, but I can't
say if it works on any older models. Beware your trip odometer will be
reset after the test. Start the test with the ignition off. Press the
odo/trip odometer button and while holding it, turn the ignition on but
do not start the truck. Continue holding the button until "chec"
appears in the odometer window. The instrument cluster will then begin
its self diagnostic mode. when it is finished, the door alarm will
chime several times and the normal pre-start lights will be lit. If
there is a problem, it will spit out a 3 digit code in the odometer
window. Record it and then push the trip button to continue the test.
This is different than resetting it. I did it to mine today and it made
a nice difference. Boost comes up faster and smoke is down. You have to
measure the voltage that the APPS is putting out then compare that to
the voltage that it's supposed to be set at. For example. My apps was
putting out .450 volts and it was supposed to be putting out .584
volts. I went and adjusted it and now I'm putting out .580 volts. It's
not a major difference but it is nice. I've only put maybe 5 miles on
it so far but come wednesday I'll be doing 500 miles a week so I'll
give yall a better idea on how it drives.
My end goal is to be at or over 500HP with my Truck. It was recommended to me that I go with the BD Twin Turbos to help me reach my goal. Boy am I ever glad that I did. This article contains all my experience with BD's Twins, in installation and performance. If you are looking for more power for towing or going, I suggest you read this article.
I was going to upgrade to the BD Twin Turbos so I needed a stronger more reliable exhaust manifold to replace the stock manifold. Here is my short article on the installation of my ATS Exhaust Manifold.
