Fixed it. Gears Magazine - High Output: A Look at Today's Charging Systems

This article Gears Magazine - High Output: A Look at Today's Charging Systems gives some helpful info on why the manufacturers have gone to PWM control. The install of the driver was easy and it works as intended allowing me to control charging with the external regulator. Not sure what years...

This thread is a bit old, but I thought it was worth adding some help for anyone else that comes across it. I am working on my 2nd hemi swap with a 2010 6.1 from a challenger into a sweptline. I am using a Holley Terminator X and tried connecting a standard voltage regulator as in the diagrams...

I am using a borgeson box and TTI headers. Its a tight fit, but works. Borgeson Power Steering Installed

I have not felt the need to drop the pressure yet, and so do not have the heidts valve. It is an adjustable valve that bleeds flow into the return to drop the pressure. According to the service manual the relief pressure of a 1500 truck 5.7 pump is 1615 PSI plus or minus 65 2500 and 3500 are...

Yes the borgeson worked out for me with TTI Headers. Here is my post on it. Borgeson Power Steering Installed

I'm using a gates 21581 for the upper and 21256 for the lower. Both had to be trimmed. 05 truck engine and stock style radiator in my 73 duster.

Yes

If you want cruise control with drive by wire you can get a setup from Hotwire HotwireAuto - Fuel Injected Wiring Harnesses I installed this on my Duster and it works great.

I have a stock 73 duster that is a bit of a beater i put together for fun. It has factory power steering and new tie rods ball joints and bushings so it is a pretty fair comparison. The Borgeson feels more responsive, but some of that could be due to wear from age and some could be due to having...

That might explain why it took so long for me to get a box. They were on backorder when I first tried to buy one and kept pushing back the availability date. Mine is small spline 1 1/8", but it is a 73+ pitman which connects to the center link pointing down. the 72 down connect pointing up. I...

Excellent question! It did drop my pitman arm slightly ~1/8". For me this was a good thing since the end of the arm was rubbing slightly on the headers so I had to dent them a little above the pitman and idler. I haven't taken the time yet to work on lowering the idler side. Probably will cut a...

No, the larger diameter section of the manual shaft extends further from the firewall and would not leave enough of the small diameter end to mount the Borgeson u-joint on.

Yes, same headers I had with the manual box.

Yes, return line is closest to firewall.

I listed my gently used Flaming River 16:1 manual steering box on eBay. Works perfectly, I just converted to power. $250 starting bid. $400 buy it now. Mopar Flaming River FR1540 Manual Steering Box

Yes, I am using my column shifter. PN for headers is TTI5.7HC-C4 purchased in 2008

I am celebrating the successful installation of power steering in my 73 Duster with a Borgeson box. I have a 5.7 truck engine sitting on a biscuit mount 72 k frame with TTI headers. The box is very similar in size to the Flaming River manual box I replaced. I had to remove the torsion bar and...

Here's some pics of mine.

I used the factory service manual to guide me in modifying the stock harness and remove what was not needed while adding necessary fuses and relays.

I'm running a modified truck pump in my Duster. I think the pressure is regulated in the top section which I don't see in any of your pictures.

I don't know how far it moves, but I was able to connect my stock column shift linkage in my 73 Duster to work with the 545RFE. I had to move one hole in one of the levers to get the right ratio and do a little welding to connect the shift rod, but it was surprisingly easy to make work.

I have a truck 5.7 in my 73 Duster with a stock style radiator from Autozone (B499). I went through the Gates catalog I found online and ordered a number of hoses with the right size inlet and outlet that were close to the right length and had some bends that looked like they might fit. I ended...

I think they used that module from 96-00 Mine are from an 03 which did not use that module to lock the belts. They just rely on inertia to lock the belts. You do lose the pretensioners that work with airbags, but with no airbags its not an issue. :) I like the Sebring seats so much I bought...

I have seats out of a sebring convertible that have the integrated shoulder harness in my 73 Duster and really like them. Here's a picture that I got into Mopar Muscle http://image.hotrod.com/f/89660088+q80+re0+cr1+ar0/024-1973-plymouth-duster-interior.jpg

I have a stock 5.7 and 545RFE. With 3.23 gears it cruises great at 70 mph around 2000 RPM. I would have gone with 3.55 or 3.91 gears, but the 3.00 1st gear in the 545RFE trans made me change my mind. For comparison my cruise RPM is higher than my 04 Durango with the same engine and trans.

I have a 5.7 engine 545 RFE transmission and computer from an 05 truck I modified the harness myself. I'm not sure if any of this is helpful, but here is how I wired mine. I added a relay to power all the run/start functions of the computer using a 12 gauge circuit and 30 amp fuse. This...

Mine is PVC drain pipe painted black with a spectre filter. Not the prettiest, but it works for now.

Glad to see my chart is useful to some. I will try to help where I can if you have questions, but I'm often slow to respond as work keeps me busy.

If you have the complete donor truck my suggestion would be to use as much of the wiring, harnesses, and modules as you can. You do not need to flash the PCM unless your donor truck has security and you are removing that module. One issue with getting the gauges to work could be vehicle speed...
