Another one from the Pacific North Wet
 

Hello All

I live in the Pacific North Wet - 20 miles west of Seattle in Kitsap County.

For years - I had a 1986 Chevy Pickup - 6.2L NA, and a 1986 Chevy Van - 6.2L NA. But over the years, I was frustrated with the lack of power, etc. So, as time and money permitted, I have upgraded.

I started the upgrade with a 2002 Dodge 3500 w/ duallys, standard cab, 2WD. I hit all the web sites and determined what the key problems were - (poor lift pump performance, and the need for a fuel pressure gauge) ...and I promptly set out to do the recommended upgrades.

3 years later - I decided that I wanted the option of a 4WD vehicle (for winter driving)...so I added a 2002 Dodge 3500 w/ duallys, but this time - extended (quad?) cab. I am now doing the same upgrades.

Now - I want to research how to improve fuel economy. I drive careful (i.e. - egg shell between foot and pedal) ...and seldom am in a hurry - and want to find things that add fuel economy. A stock HO engine has more than enough power for my needs. But if diesel fuel hits $5.00 a gallon - I want fuel efficiency!!

BTW - Merry Christmas to all. My family will be celebrating Christmas on the 31st - as 2 sons in the military won't make it home til then. So today is a great holiday - but most of the celebrations and opening of presents must wait another six days!

Welcome to DB!!!

Lots of Knowledgable people on this site.

Thank you for your sacrifices that your family makes for all of us.

Again, Welcome!

This is a great site! I have lurked for over a year - reading posts, etc. It is great to get ideas, cross-check, hear the discussions pro- and con - before acting myself.

But I figured that, after a year of lurking - it was time to get active and introduce myself, and contribute, where I can.
