Oh OK. I've never heard of an ESS before.....I'll have to do some research to see exactly where it is. Thank you to both of you guys, it's much appreciated. It gives me another place to look. Take care:)

No the tach doesn't work and the manual OD button doesn't work/light up. The transmission also doesn't shift gears (same happened when the alternator failed).

Great. Thank you very much:)

A/C hasn't worked for a couple of years, doesn't hold a charge. I don't turn it on.

Hello. I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins diesel 4x4 long box. The small piece of tubing from the air intake manifold to the AFC housing (boost pressure signal) is rotten and not repairable. Right now I can't get boost over 10psi. I've looked online but I can't seem to find the...

Hello. I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins diesel 4x4 long box. I had the rectifier block replaced in my alternator at the repair shop last fall. The other day I suspected that the alternator had failed again as there was no charging voltage. I brought the alternator back to the repair shop...

Excellent article! I'll have to try making one of these. Thank you very much everyone for all of your help, it's much appreciated:)

Hello everyone. I'm just wondering if I have low turbo boost pressure compared to others? I have a stock HX35 turbo with the boost elbow plugged. The highest boost pressure I have ever seen is approx 25-27 psi. (OD off, 7% grade hill pulling camper). Is this normal or do I have a boost leak...

Thank you very much for the advice guys. It's much appreciated! I think I'll likely start with the DSS as I know there is wear in the steering box. I never heard of this steering column bushing before, I'll check out mine... maybe the next step. Once again thank you!

Hello. I'm looking for feedback from people who have used the "Dodge Steering Stabilizer (DSS)" to support the pitman arm on their steering boxes. Last year I had a leaky seal replaced on my steering box. I noticed when my steering wheel is rocked back & forth there is some play between the...

Hello. I have a 97 Dodge Cummins 4x4 x-cab auto. I had to remove the fuel tank due to a leaking fuel line. Unfortuneately while removing the tank I broke off a plastic fitting on the fuel sending unit assembly trying to remove the fuel line. Two questions: #1. Is there a special tool for...
