Ok gentlemen, here it goes. After going yet another $74 in the hole in attempt to fix this problem, I purchased two calipers for my truck. Installed both, manually bled the brakes yet again to no satisfaction. I then installed two new brake hoses from the caliper to the steel lines. Bled the...

Help PLEEEASE!! I have a 1996 CTD 2500. I have been battling a brake problem for a few weeks now and finally ready to give up. Problem... while holding pressure on the brake pedal, the pedal slowly goes to the floor. I checked the calipers and rear brake cylinders for leaks, found a few bad...

I have a '99 2500 quad cab ctd and a '01 quad cab 2500 ctd. Both sitting in my shop, I noticed a difference in ride height. After measuring from the top control arm to the top of the stop on the '99, I had a measurement of 4. 750". Doing the same on the '01 I came up with a measurement of barely...

Thank everyone for the advice. I to believe it is the master cylinder but I didnt want to face the $$$$$$$$ to repair. Again, thank everyone for the help Dan

Having an unusual problem with the brakes on a '99 2500 CTD. One day shortly ago, I nearly was involved in an accident when a car pulled out in front of me. I stomped on the brake and Wooosh, to the floor. Escaping a accident with the help of a roadside ditch, i find the brake lines between the...

The local dealer here has a used '01 2500 cummins diesel on the lot. I am strongly thinking about buying this truck and was wondering if anyone can help me with the average longevity of the engine and automatic transmission on this unit. I see there is a "Banks" switch in the cab, good or bad...

Hard Start Something you should mention the fact of installing a new VP and a new lift pump then hard starting began. Only about 5 hours ago, I had a discussion with my local fuel injection shop "ProFormance Fuel Injection" While discussing the matter of fuel pressure to Marty he explained...

Dead pedal First I would like to thank those who responded to help me. I do appreciate all the help. To break the news, I took my truck to ProFormance Fuel Injection. The Experts there showed me that there are not only PCU codes but ECU codes as well. After showing me how to check the...

I have a '02, 2500 4X4 extend cab long bed Dodge Diesel. I want to put about a 4 inch suspension lift on this truck. Can anyone make a suggestion on which one to use or which one works the best. Thanks.

Gentlemen, I have a 2002 2500. There is (living proof) a detroit locker that is made for this dana 80 35 spline axle unit. I purchased my detroit locker, model # 255SL131A from www.drivelinesuperstores.com They are great to deal with and the rear works absolutely flawless. I totally...

I dont know how everyone else installed the system but what I did was eliminated the old line and fitting completely. Went to the part store and bought myself a line press fitting and a fitting that screwed into the pump, eliminating the bango fitting. To install your fuel pressure...

FASS vs PREPORATOR???? I personally bought, installed and am extremely satisfied with FASS. The system comes complete with EVERYTHING with the exception of the fittings for a fuel pressure guage. I had the pleasure of speaking to Brad on the telephone and I have only one thing to say. Brad...
