With the 46RH conversion successfully completed. Redtruck is in need of a mod or two. Next up is to finally get her tune dialed in. Keith has been doing the heavy lifting and I'm trying to give him a platform that is easier to work on than the Manual flashed automatic based PCM. According to B&G the current pcm flashed to manual trans can have issues due to software and hardware not being terminated properly. Bought a 03 manual PCM from ebay and found it to be junk. Apparently locked up from security lacking compatibility with my truck. Can't tell for sure since I took it to B&G to have it checked and it was DOA. Still going to use it for a core for a new PCM I've ordered. Told the guy it was dead and had been opened but he said "no problem". Manual trans PCM are a fairly rare bird just to note the obvious. The good news is the same pcm is used in Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500. And the vin doesn't necessarily need to match the vehicle. I ran a salvage yard pcm for a couple years before I reflashed it with a vin. Anyway next mod, take the new pcm to Dave@B&G for him to adjust idle, rev and speed limiters. Install a pair of BV heads. Then tune the old girl. I bought one of those push rod holders, so hopefully I won't have the same difficulties I had last time. So that's the run down on Red it's all good...
Redtruck's never ending tale....

The white truck just delivered some AN fittings for the fuel rails, rubber clamps for the fuel system upgrade, pre formed 3/4" heater hose for the cooler and other cool stuff. I have quite a collection of AN fittings anymore. The challenge was determining the thread size for the rails which I determined was 3/4"-16 so using a dial caliper and a thread gage it should have been easy, but my vision is poor so I had to transplant the internal tread pattern to a small piece of paper and then it was easy to layout and count the thread. Old guys need to have work around's sometimes to get things done. ... lol

I don't know what MAP they are using I guess I can make an adapter plate to use the SRT4 MAP sensor.

The Modern Muscle fuel rails I think will take some massaging to connect since the only openings are on the ends. The rear of the rails I think I'll connect together and try to connect the feeds to the front of each rail if there is room.

OCP Joe has contacted me and will have the needed parts for me next week. This is really coming together. Thanks Joe, you are indeed "da man!"
Looking at this manifold makes me want to build a retro rod.....

Don't need a 3 bar lol I will run 20 psi on a 2 bar and just set my scale on top higher to compensate! 3 bar narrows the window to much and takes away from drivability down low! Keep the three bar I will keep my motor together longer

What I meant for my original question to ask was what is the screw in piece for the breather and what MAP fit the spot machined for the MAP. But after looking at it closer I believe the SRT 2bar will bolt right up. Joe is sending me a SS bolt kit, gaskets, breather fitting and adapter plate. So a trip to the store I should be able to find the rubber grommet and PVC. pieces. None of it being a problem, just being lazy.
