Recently lost the original dual mass clutch at 50K miles in my 07. 5 with the g56 6 speed. Dealer replaced the clutch and hydraulics with a Southbend OFE at my direction. Since then I have traveled to Arizona and am experiencing hard shifting and a noise that sounds like marbles rattling around...

Mike, Thank you for the information, sounds like that is probably what's happening. I'll inspect the plate, or maybe since I'm still in warranty I'll just take it to the local dealer. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question. Eric

Anyone had to deal with engine code: P0488, Airflow throttle control circuitry. The truck seems to accelerate slower than normal, until a certain point when the acceleration "breaks free" and seems excessive relative to throttle position. It idles at a lower RPM than normal and sounds as if...

Thanks to you who replied. I actually knew that 75-90 was too heavy for any gear box that incorporates small roller or needle bearings. Don't know why it didn't occur to me before I did this. I guess I could blame it on Alzheimer's, but if I can remember what I did that was stupid it probably...

Compitable? Pitiful! COMPATIBLE.

Decided to get rid of the ATF4 that Dodge uses to lubricate my G56 6 speed transmission. I have heard that most of the failures occur because of over heated bearings due to lack of sufficient lubrication. I drained the trans and pumped in 6 quarts of 75-90 Royal Purple synthetic gear lube. The...

As previously stated I got several replies with great advice. Thanks for yours. I am relatively new to TDR and although I have owned several Cummins trucks since 1990 it seems I have found a better source for information on the DCD than I get from my Dealer.

Anyone have a stock air filter box for the 6. 7 they would sell, or trade, for an Air Raid system? Please PM me. '07. 5 3500 single cab C&C.

My factory warranty expires next year and I suspect some of my exhaust system parts will also expire at that time.

Thanks for the information. Harvey I'll look at DieselManors Installation instructions. I like the Edge too, great for monitoring parameters. In the manual it states that I can force a regen cycle but I have been unable to do that. I'm wondering if some of the instructions in the manual are...

I want to monitor EGT's so have purchased an Edge CTS monitor with a pyrometer probe. Any recommendations as to sensor location? Drilling and tapping exhaust manifold tip's, etc? '07. 5 single cab C&C flatbed, manual 6 speed.

Thanks for the excellant information. I guess I'll just have to baby it untill it becomes necessary to replace it. Any recommendations for an aftermarket clutch or should I just stay with the OEM version?

My manual transmission, 07. 5, Flatbed clutch seems to be slipping under heavy load starts in 1st gear (actually smelled a slight burning odor). I purchased the truck with about 30,000 miles on it and it now has 37,000 showing. When I first drove the truck I noticed the clutch began to...

A small hole (+/- 3/16") at the lowest point in the exhaust elbow to the stack will allow any accumulation of water to drain out. I did it to mine and there is no noticeable difference in the sound. My stacks are 4" and like the size compared to the bigger ones. My truck has the DPF so even...

As in the rest of the country SW Az is having unusual weather (actually froze the water to my RV last night). Driving the truck last night, while accelerating hard, I got the P0101 code again. The ambient temperature was 40 deg (code seems to be related to temp). I've installed an Edge Insight...
