I can’t stress how important it is to NEVER under any circumstances use an auto tensioner from the parts store. I found out the hard way back in 2012 after doing a 6 bolt swap in my 2G.

I bought the auto […]

Thank you for the post. I am literally ordering parts for a 4g64 now and im not sure the tensioner would have been OEM without seeing your post.

  Glad to help! Some stuff is OK at the part store but there are definitely things you can only trust to use OEM.

If you even start to think about modding your DSM, whether it be a 4g63 or a 420a, you should put some time into thinking about a tuning solution. Now, I know there are many choices and you can easily get […]

Hello, I run dsmecu.com. We still do eprom tuning and don’t use a burner/chips. Moates.net makes an eprom emulator that basically turns the oem 1g ecu into a “stand alone” that you can control in real time. I think DSMLink came along with this feature years after others had been using it and called it “direct access tables”.

Anyway, good article. I wouldn’t classify Jackal as a piggy back though because it doesn’t actually intercept any signals, it’s modifying them on the ecu in real time like a standalone does.

I wanted to write about basic steps when starting WOT tuning. I’ve been asked a lot about it so I figured it was time for a write up. This is very simple to do.

First, there are things you need to verify […]

Many of us 2G guys like to put a 1G CAS in our 2G’s. Whether it be due to the fact that the 1G CAS is adjustable or for the simplicity of replacing the CAS. Especially the 2Ga guys that don’t have a CAS on the […]
