1998-2002 Chevrolet Cavalier Cold Air Intake System Part Number 21-447

5:27 AM by onesecond · 0 comments
The AEM Cold Air System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of cars. Each system is engineered for the particular application. The AEM Cold Air System differs from all others in several ways. We take the inlet air from outside of the engine compartment where the inlet air is considerably cooler than the hot under hood air. The cooler inlet air temperature translates to more power during the combustion process because cool air is denser than warm air. AEM has conducted extensive inlet air temperature studies and we have seen temperature reductions of up to 50 degrees by pulling air from outside of the engine compartment. The air mass flow to the engine is increased because of the increased airflow and reduced inlet temperature, which translates to more power.

2003-2007 Nissan Murano Engine Air Intake Duct Service Bulletin

Nissan is conducting a voluntary safety recall on model year 2003 – 2007 Murano vehicles. Under certain conditions, the intake duct, which is connected to the intermediate resonator in the air intake system of the engine, may separate from the resonator with engine movement. This could cause minor idle fluctuation or poor acceleration. If this occurs, and the vehicle continues to be driven without being serviced, the engine may stall while driving. To remedy this potential condition, Nissan is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign to replace the air intake duct with an updated part and the air duct clamps with new clamps at no charge for parts or labor.

Designed in the late 1980s, Nissan's twin turbo, DOHC, 4-valves per cylinder powerhouse is one of the all-time classic turbo engines. Surprisingly sophisticated both for its time and cost, the engine was fitted to the 300ZX twin turbo sports car. Nissan engineers were aiming very high with the car - the background to the engine development makes this very clear.
In this article we'll cover the technical nitty gritty of the engine and its original development goals.

1994-1999 Dodge Ram Pick-Up Tubular Exhaust System

8:31 PM by onesecond · 0 comments
TUBULAR EXHAUST SYSTEM: These components are designed as a system to improve the exhaust efficiency of the Dodge 5.2L & 5.9L V8 engine. They are constructed of 409 HP stainless steel to better withstand the high heat present with the fuel-injected engine, especially when used for towing or other heavy duty applications. The stainless steel used for these systems is much more durable than mild steel, although it does not appear different in appearance. These systems can be identified by the part numbers on each of the major components. Note that a magnet will stick to this type of stainless steel; magnetic attraction is not a valid test for these systems. A performance gain can be expected by the installation of the system. This system does require welding for installation (see note below) and retains all O.E.M. emissions equipment.

Cracked Turbo Hose Fix (ADAP09) FAQ for 2002-2007 Dodge Sprinter

3:00 PM by onesecond · 0 comments
What is the cracked turbo hose Fix ?
A. The cracked turbo hose fix, our ADAP06 is a billet aluminum adaptor that replaces the metal end on the intake side turbo hose found on the driver’s side on the 2.7 liter, 5 cyl. In-line Mercedes Benz turbo diesel engine found in 2002 up to2007 Dodge Sprinter Vans. Our Hose adapter has a nicely rounded end which resists hose cracking even in high temperatures, high vibration and high boost pressures. The Sprinter chassis is becoming increasingly popular with RVers and commercial users because of its great fuel economy and driver-friendly characteristics. However, the intake turbo hose with its flawed metal ends is causing the Sprinter chassis to suffer an inordinate amount of breakdowns.

Hy-Tech Wheel-Lift Installation (Pickup)

1.) Rear Leaf Springs: We strongly recommend that you increase the number of leafs in the rear main springs before you begin the installation process. In most cases we have found that these additional leafs (Dodge - 4 leafs, Chev. - 3 leafs and Ford - 2 leafs), in addition to an in-cab controlled airbag system, will be adequate in most cases. The use of an airbag system has always proven to be far more effective than additional helper/overload springs.

Dodge TXT Exchange Program Datasheet

The TXT’s legendary durability comes from classic engineering—ductile and cast iron housings to absorb overloads, helical gears for smooth torque transmission and double-lip spring load seals to contain lubrication. No shortcuts. No cheating on quality, material and reliablity factors.
Like any rotating asset that’s driven hard, TXTs eventually wear out. These reducers operate in harsh conditions with airborne contaminants and there’s typically no time for preventive maintenance. Seals tend to go first, leaking oil. Once they fail, then bearings, gears and hubs follow.

Jeep/Dodge Perm-Lok 1100 Installation Instructions

9:39 PM by onesecond · 0 comments
These instructions have been designed for unaltered vehicles. Before you start, check for any variations. Each vehicle may dictate it’s own control mount and cable routing. Therefore, you will need to study the pictures and use your good judgement or seek professional help. Lift kits may govern how and where the cable is routed. Always keep the cable away from heat (exhaust) and rough or sharp edges. If you are concerned about lower cable damage or abrasion, we recom- mend cutting a length (about 3 feet) of 5/8” ID plastic or rubber hose (garden or heater) to be slid over the cable before assembly.

NOTE: Before attempting to install the heat shield onto the brackets, first measure the distance between the threaded holes in the mounting brackets. You should have 9 1/8” from center to center of holes. If you don’t, you can bend the brackets with a pair of pliers or a small hammer. Doing this will make heat shield installation much easier.
