Just One Opinion IMHO most of the mpg posts you are seeing now are irrelevant because (1) few of these trucks have 30-40M miles on them, and (2) those 07. 5's that likely have the most miles on them may still have "debugging" problems that the software of every new generation of electronic...

One Slight Dfference I think ... although I have not seen an 07. 5 in person ... is that the Laramie wood grain trim is darker on the 08. Personally I prefer the darker version, and I went with the 08 because I hoped to avoid the software issues the early builds in a new generation always have...

The suggestion on the 48 transmission on engine startup/warmup was to put the vehicle in NEUTRAL to allow the transmission fluid to circulate better. I believe it would not do so in PARK. An alternative was just to drive it easy until it heated up. Since I have the 68RFE now, the question is whether...

Our Procedure on the big trucks after a major overhaul is as follows: (1) Whatever you do, do not let the engine run cool. This means ABSOLUTELY NO IDLING. (well let the turbo cool down before you shut it off). If you have to idle to sleep in cold weather or something, then turn on your high...

I had an 04 CTD QC with DEALER INSTALLED leather. Looking to purchase an 07 or 08 Mega Cab. 3 grandkids (ages 2-8) will do heavy duty riding in the back seats. Would you go with Scotchguarded Cloth or Dodge Leather? Why? Thanks for any replies. BH

My 04. 5 was stolen recently. It will not be recovered. After much reading ... I have decided the 6. 7 coupled with the auto 6 speed and the jake (exhaust) brake is the best combo for replacement. I have a couple of questions. (1) When was the first build date for the 07. 5? and...

I recently had an 04 QC CTD stolen from the parking lot of a motel in Tulsa. It looks like, as I suspected, it will not be recovered. An 05 CTD was stolen from a Residence Inn about 5 blocks away the same night. That guy was an insurance adjuster there working the ice storm damage. Both vehicles...

I bought a used 04 4x4 OFF ROAD Package CTD with an Anti-Slip RE. Loved the truck but unfortunately it was stolen about a month ago, and I now have to look for a replacement. I do NO serious Off-Road stuff and NO planned towing, but I have Anti-Slip RE's in my 2WD Sport Trac and 2WD Ranger...

83 Gmc I have an 83 GMC 2WD 6. 2L D with 250000 miles on it. Bought it used with about 40000 miles on it. Have NEVER TOUCHED the engine except for changing oil (Rotella 15/40) approx every 5000 miles. I have replaced 3 fuel pumps though. That being said ... I basically agree with the other...

I just purchased a 2004 Dodge 2500 4x4 with the 5. 9L Cummins Engine. I have from the previous owner a decent idea of the specs on this truck ... but he did not save the sticker or any relavant purchase documentation. So the question is, since I have a VIN#, is there a website or a way to...
