I have an 05 3500. Almost 100,000 miles so I'm getting ready to change the coolant, hoses, belt, idler, etc. The only coolant hoses listed in the auto stores are upper, lower and 2 heater. Does anyone know if there are any small bypass hoses on the engine besides the four I listed? I wouldn't...

I have a 2005 3500 with 4 inch lift and 35 inch tires. I added a BD Steering box stabalizer, BD adjustable trac bar and Dynatrac ball joints. Ever since the trac bar and Dynatrac ball joints where installed every imperfection in the road can be felt through the steering wheel. I put a new...

Well stupid me..... I thought Cummins warrantee was 100k with no time table (above and beyond the Dodge 7/70K) but I guess it would not matter anyway according to the oil usage table as posted above.

I am using Fleetgaurd filters and have the factory air box with not mods to the engine at all. I will have an oil analysis and pay extra attention to when I check the oil per Ryan's post. If I truly am having a problem does anyone have any feedback on Cummins warrantees regarding this issue?

Mark, No weeps or seeps. I'm under the truck and check it thoroughly every oil change. I use Valvoline 15/40 premium blue and change it every 3500 because I figured more often is better and want my engine to last. I really don't have the engine running under extreme loads. Just occasional towing...

I have a 2005 with 80k and I have noticed that the oil consumption is getting greater between oil changes of 3500 mile intervals. After filling with 12 quarts the level shows on the dipstick over the top hashmark and at the oil change the level shows right at the lower hashmark. I am guessing...

I have an 05 with 35 inch tires. I am putting ARB lockers in for the deep snow I encounter. Is it worth spending an extra $2000 to change my gearing from 3. 73 to 4. 10's to bring my ratio back to factory?

I have an 05 with 35 inch tires. Is it worth spending $2000 to change my gears from 3. 73 to 4. 10's? I am putting in ARB air lockers, although I'm not a huge 4 wheeler I need the extra traction for the deep snow I encounter and I'm considering the gear change to bring the big 35's back to...

After an oil change my 05 3500 has low oil pressure (low redline) at idle but will come up with RPM's. After driving about 50 miles my oil pressure will come back up to normal even at idle. This started at 50,000 miles. Currently at 58,000. Is this normal?

From Bisinger, Sorry I posted in wrong category. First timer,

When I do and oil change on my 05 3500 my oil pressure will drop to the redline when at idle but come up with RPM's. After driving about 50 miles on the new oil change the pressure will stay above the mid point even at idle. This started at about 50,000 miles. Currently at 58,000. Can anyone...
