Thanks for the input fellas. I live in rural Northern New Mexico, so there are no reputable transmission shops/builders in this general area. I trailered the 5.9 over to Amarillo with the 6.7 on Thursday. 300 miles away. I have an associate that owns and operates an auto parts distribution...

Thank you!!!

I have just installed a Ranch Hand rear bumper. The bumper came with two flush mount LED reverse lights. I have read several times about the TIPM unit that controls the lighting in these trucks, and apparently it is sensitive voltage and current disturbances. Assuming this is true, can I simply...

I agree...

I recently added a 99' 2500 QCLB 4x4 AT to my collection of Cummins powered Dodge trucks. 216 thousand miles and it runs great, but the trans started leaking last week. I kept topping it off every couple days, and it was fine until Friday when I suddenly must have lost a lot of ATF somewhere in...

What is everybody using with their 3500's to get a better ride quality? I have a 17' and it rides like a damn stagecoach...

I am currently looking at a 98 12v, QCLB 4x4 5 speed that a local fella has for sale. He says the compression is between 250-270 across all six. He says his valves are holding the pressure, and he also is telling me the truck has very little to no leak down/blowby. Says they are all holding...

I guess I was just lucky with the changing of the inline filter working each time.

So I am new to my 17' 6.7, and I am glad to hear it has a heater in the rear filter. I will keep it plugged in at night this time of year through the end of March. My last truck (as of 2 weeks ago before purchasing the 3500) was a 98.5 5.9 24v. I live at 9830 feet in the lower Rockies of...

More new guy questions...sorry fellas:confused: How is the data collected from the CTD trucks for the touch screen displays that I keep seeing? CANBUS via the OBD 2 plug? What are some popular devices that people are using to see EGT, Boost, MPH, EGR %, etc...? Are these all tuners? Is the...

Been working my way through the manual all week. Brought it home last Sunday. I drove it home from ABQ about 170 miles running 75 for the first 40 miles. Last 130 miles around 55/65. Been driving short distances all week in the little mountain valley I live in. 35/45 mph. Several short trips...

Thank you!!

I just retired my 98.5 Ram 2500 Quadcab 5.9 with 400,000 miles on the clock. Yesterday I purchased a 2017 Ram 3500 Bighorn 6.7 CCLB 4x4. Amazing truck, but I know almost nothing about it. Is there anything I should know about the 6.7 /Aisin, or this specific platform/chassis? Is it safe to use...

Hello fellas, I have a 98.5 with 360,000 miles and currently a Fass HPFP that has around 150,000 miles. Today it started to starve all of a sudden. I looked up at my Pyrol guage and I have 5 psi. I pull over and shut it down and poped the hood. Filter can is ok with no leaks. Examined the...
