I've got a 93 D-250. Truck has 204000 miles any ideas why the speedo works part time. Put a new speed sensor on and did not take care of the problem. I can live with no speedometer but OD does not engage if it doesn't read speed. Any ideas how to rewire the OD on a toggle switch?

Still playing with the 1993 D-350. Wondering what is the MAX Temp I should be looking at for a Getrag Trans? Anyone have an idea what is to high? Most I've seen so far is 195 towing twelve thousand pounds in the hills of S Dakota. Any comments will be appreciated. I do have trans coolers from...

My son took his truck to Rapid City Diesel to have them check it out. Took a little time but they found the problem. Low Voltage to the FCA switch. All is well and a bill less than 130.00. Would recommend that if anyone in the Rapid City South Dakota area needs help give them a call. Thanks to all.

I have a question from my son. He just bought a 2008 6.7 it has 152000 miles. Of course as is no warranty. Test drive all was fine but the next day when he starts the truck and puts it in reverse it will kill the engine. Checked fluid level and all is fine, clean not discolored. He leaves it run...

I would start by pulling all fuses and check it then. Then pit them back one by one and check every time. If you have power with no fuses I would then assume wires to the trailer plug or wiring to starter or alternator. Can't think of any other power source that it could be. Let us know if you...

I have a 93 and am looking at replacing the carpet. In searching for a replacement I have seen regular cabs and High Hump Diesel part numbers listed. Anyone else ever replaced the carpet and seen this? I just don't want to order one and not end up sending it back. I'm looking at regular cab two...

I will throw in my two cents on going backwards in years. I had an 03 dually crew cab, I loved the truck but it was ten years old and I went back to a 93. The only reason was all the computer and tons of wiring scared me. Ran fine drove great but I was afraid of being at the dealers mercy when...

Thanks i will check it out tomorrow if it gets warmer than 10 degrees.

My question is where is it "Best and Simplest" to tie in the boost gauge on a First Gen Cummins? First one of the First Gen I've owned and am doing the complete Gauge install soon. Any help will be great. Thanks

HELP,My 2003 3500 has a surging cruise control problem. Set cruise and it will hold for a short time then start to surge if I leave it go to long it will get worse and worse to the tune of 10-15MPH swing. I have checked the vacum line at the pump and it will hold vacum there. Is it a pump to the...

I just did the lines at the trans cooler under the windshield washer tank. Only removed the inner fender and washer tank. Disconnected the old lines with a disconnect tool. Then with a small tubing cutter I cut the ends off the aluminum lines and installed new transmission line hose 1/2 " hose...

Need advice on what will happen if I remove the check ball assembly on the cooler lines by the radiator? Thinking about just going to rubber line for both supply and return and be done with the quick disconnects. To expensive to replace at over a hundred dollars a piece. Good trans hose is $20...

Ok thanks, we'll start there. Funny they worked perfect until a steel line started to leak and he had it replaced.

A friend with a 2000 3500 DRW had brake lines replaced and brakes bled but now when slowing downn at about 20 and slower brakes vibrate and it acts like the ABS is activating. Vibrates the pedal and does not want to stop. Any suggestions? No lights or codes just vibration and fading brakes.

My two cents. I've traveled the country a little bit while Drag Racing from Vegas to Florida and it looks to me almost more of an area preferance than anything. Kinda like following parents brand loyality by area. I personally will stick with tried and true Cummins power.
