They are out of business and I tried to locate parts for mine with the same problem you have. I found a truck parts dealer in central Illinois with a few covers for sale at clearance prices. $100. 00 I think. I bought a complete cover for a long bed truck and cut the rails down to fit my...

He took his to the local dealer and they drooped the pan and found a filter loose. I had read the advice somewhere when searching that that was a possible cause of symptoms like his. My advice was drop the pan and check for that and see if there is any metal debris indicating something breaking...

Did not talk to him today. I searched the site and looked in the buyers guide for codes and found none of these listed. I am stumped now. I am thinking that I am glad I have a 3rd Gen 5. 9 and a 48re trans. I think I will take some of Harvey's advice and leave the motor and drivetrain alone. I...

Have a friend with a 2010 with same symptoms. His threw these codes today, P0944, P0868 andP0841. Can anyone help identify these. I am searching for a list now, have seen discussion on these before but I have never had any problems myself and never had to find any. I know they have been some...

A few weeks ago I persuaded a good friend's son (both are die-hard ford owners) to convert to a Dodge. He found a 2010 Big Horn quad, 4wd, egr deleted, leveled, Bilsteins, rear air bags, Rhino lined bed, new tires, 80,000 mi. and in pristine condition. Silver color. I took him to Louisville Ky...

I have 5 of them, 2 fuel mounted on the steering column, egt, boost and transmission temp. guages mounted in a dash pod. They all sweep smoothly and have performed flawlessly for about 2 years and I have never heard one click from any of them. I am well pleased with the looks of their factory...

Hey there Mopar1. Do you guys have anything planned this coming spring? I was going to come over and see you-all last fall but must have had a senior moment and the date slipped out of my head I guess. Would like to get together with some CTD enthusiasts and socialize, there are pretty much none...

I installed a Fluidamper on my truck after Sheid Diesel Extravaganza in 2010. Have had no issues with it of any kind. I can't honestly say that I can tell any difference compared to the stock one although it was in good condition. From experience I am convinced that a bad dampener, OEM part or...

I received the same letter last week and have had no problems with turn signal switch or anything else on the truck. :)

I noticed the absence of his article also and was wondering what is up with that. Had not thought of asking, glad someone did.

You are the man joe I can't help but say how much I appreciate the experience and wisdom Joe brings to us here. I have not had the chance to meet him but hope to in the future. This goes out also to all the writers and staff of the TDR. I had the pleasure of meeting some of you at Columbus...

Warped Rotors You would be enlightened if you would read the article on brake systems. What you are most likely feeling if it is in the brake pedal is far more likely high spots on the rotor rather than it being warped. If you get on the brakes hard from a high speed up to a stop, that...

Warped Rotors I find it hard to believe that a brake rotor would warp under most any but some wildly extreme conditions. I thought I knew about all I needed to know about brake systems until I read a very informative article about them right here, well in the magazine 5 or 6 issues back. There...

Fluidamper worth the cost? I was a surface mechanic at an underground coal mine in the late 80s. Our refuse haul trucks were R-20 Euclids with inline 71 series Detroit Diesels which are 2 stroke engines. Governers set at about 2250 rpm no load speed. These trucks had air brakes and a front...

I can't help but say again you are precious Harvey:-laf
