The Dodge build-up

[robertf03]

is it just a 1" lift?

is it just a 1" lift?

The front springs are listed as 3 inch over stock with a factory bumper and the rear springs are listed as 1 inch over stock (no blocks).

The inner fender was kinda a hack job being that so much had to come off the bottom and I was running late for a ring dunk, but I plan on making a patch that covers the gap between the outer fender and cab.




I plan on running these HID bulbs in some Hella 500's in place of the factory fog lights but I have two questions. What is the dual in dual out harness ($12.50)? Also I'm thinking of using the error corrector, which is basically just a resistor to trick the computer into believing a regular 55 watt bulb is in place, but is it necessary if I use the 55 watt HIDs? I wouldn't think so but it seems a lot of people have problem running HIDs through he factory cpu.

Would it be possible to run 4 lights off the two factory fog lights? In example taking a power wire from the fog lights to turn a relay on and having the other 2 HIDs powered straight from the battery through the relay.

this is the kit:

edit: I'll be ordering the H3 bulbs


If Sam ever brings his JD2 bender down could 2 inch .175 wall tubing be bent using the manual pull arm? Or any Houstonians want to help me bend a couple pieces of tubing?

If you do not want to go through all that, I remember back in the day when I had the cheapo Hella 500s. I replaced the 55w bulb with a 100w bulb. Good differenece for cheap and no extra wiring.

Have you adjusted yoru headlights yet? Or are you that guy?

Looks good, I like the wheels.

Head lights point to the ground nicely, I know that was tough for you to say but thanks

Also if anybody has any plate, 2 or 1.75 inch tubing, receiver hitch tube or weld on shackle mounts I would be interested in buying it.

You shouldn't need the error corrector. That's (usually) only for ****ty Japanese vehicles. Your truck should be plug and play. And it's not the wattage that messes with the CPU, it's the voltage.

From what I've been reading dodges are not plug and play, most seem to get around the issue by adding a resistor (I think 50 ohm) in addition to the supplied ballast, I just figured that is what the error corrector was. I know V=IR, but why is there a voltage issue? What volts do HID run on and how do people over come the issue?

HID bulbs require roughly 20k volts; Yes, 20,000 volts, to ignite. The sudden spike in voltage would literally fry your electrical system, so they introduce the ballast to ignite the bulb and help regulate the voltage.

When I had put HID bulbs on the H3, it was a pretty easy plug and play job. I put the same kit on my 08 Dodge 1500 (they're both 9008/H13 bulb size) and there were no sensors thrown. From what I've heard through other people running them, the only cars that had problems running without the "check error fix" were Suzuki, Nissan, etc.

Question was why is there a voltage issue if the supplied ballast is used? I realize that cummins owner might not be the smartest people but a quick search on CF will reveal hundreds of "why don't my HIDs work" threads. Either way I'll be ordering the kit this week

So how many volts does a microwave take?

[BroncoJo]

I went ahead an ordered the HID kit for the hella's, but now have a fear of my truck exploding... Check out the waring

Also went to Chops for the aliment, all went smoothly took about an hour and seems to be a decent shop.

You and Evan should get a poser shot together. It would be soooo cute!
