Actually we both got our trucks from the same fleet, MEby just happens to have a TON better truck. I swear as soon as I get this thing fixed I'm going back to a first gen truck.

Thanks for all the support, technical and emotional. After Y-snot got through with me I had to go see my shrink:-laf, but we are over that now. In my defense there isn't a hole there in the road just a mile of weird bumps. I am a heavy equipment mechanic, and I have had my favorite front end guy...

About a year ago I went down a road that came strait from suspension hell with my 95 4x4 at about 35mph. When I hit a certain spot in the road it threw my truck into such a bad death wobble it nocked the end right out of the ball joint on my 1 year old track bar. So after tastefully thanking...

Has anyone tried putting in marine pistons? I'm getting ready to pull my head to fix a seeping gasket. I plan on doing a rering and bearing job job for the heck of it while I'm in there. Mabe its a good time for some pistons? Andy

Thanks guys I was pretty sure that hunk of tin was just frills, but it pays to get a second opinion. It is now permanently removed. I'm loving the improved turbo sound. Andy

I am pretty sure the brain controlls the intake heater. Andy

Can anyone out there tell me what the baffle in the inlet of the turbo on my 95' is for? I took it in and out several times to see if I could tell any difference in performance,I didn't but I do appear to get more turbo whine without it. If all it is for is noise suppression it's staying out...

Is there a reason you are going to pull the 370's that I should know about before I get a set? I heard that they smoke ALLOT and produce higher egt's,but I'm also going to install water injection to keep the heat down. Andy

I would like to try some 370's in my truck (95' 3500 with manual transmission and 270hp plate). I have my own Bosch pressure tester,so I am trying to find the part number for just the tips. Anybody out there got it? Thanks, Andy

We were gone for the weekend so I'm just getting back to this project. I do'nt think it is a loose fitting because it ran fine for 20,000miles after the new parts were installed, and it is a very intermittent problem. The problem is definitely still there though. My brother says that several...

Hi guys, My brother took over my 92" Ram 350 about a week ago, it had been running great for me. Two days ago my brother was in a drive through idling when the truck started running crummy an croaked! He promptly called me, when I got there the truck wouldn't start, so I bled the injectors. It...

I Got a chance to mess with the truck a bit today. The info was a huge help. I took the overflow valve out and even though it didn't look dirty I cleaned it out. WOW it appears to have fixed the problem. No more fuel filter flexing. It also appears to idle a lot lower. Definitely an...

Thanks for the response, I am in the middle of blueberry season so I don't have much time to mess with the truck. Can you tell me if I am going to wreck anything besides filters by driving my truck as is? I do intend to check the fuel pressure, what is considered normal? If I decide I am...

NOW Im ticked I almost had my last post done and the darned computer dumped me! My truck`s fuel filter developed a crack and hense a leak. The filter was a fairly new wix. I figured it was a fluke, so I installed a new filter (also a wix). Now I noticed that when my truck is running the filter...
