Got the truck back today. Ground for the governor pressure sensor had opened at the harness connector causing no pressure feedback to the ECM and TFT of -40. It was a loose pin in the connector...

Still has reverse. Taking it to Fred Swanson next week...

I have a 2006 2500 4x4 48RE and on Friday everything was fine. Yesterday morning I pulled away from the house and the trans would only shift from 1st. to 2nd. It wouldn't go into 3rd. or OD. I cycled through T/H and OD Off and back to normal. Shut down and restarted. No improvement. Fred...

I have a 2006 RAM 2500 CTD and will be moving in about 8 weeks to N. Arizona from California. Can anyone suggest a good mechanic/repair shop in the Phoenix area that can handle Cummins 5. 9 CR and 48RE transmissions? No matter who it is, I will have a minimum drive of 80 miles to get there, so...

The 6. 7 damper is viscous like the fluidampr and is a one-time replacement vs. the rubber mounted inertia ring damper on the 5. 9 that can be a recurring failure point.

Could be a damaged pilot bearing - often overlooked.

Can anyone recommend a good diesel mechanic in the Stockton/Modesto (CA) area? My neighbor was in the business for many years, but his skills with CR seem to be a bit lacking. He's old school. My 2006 is experiencing some power loss issues at cruise rpms and I am trying to figure things out...

I bought 5 Baldwin PF7977 fuel filters and I noticed that they were in the Baldwin cardboard box without any plastic wrapping on the filter itself. Is this normal? Fleetguard FS19856 filters I bought from Geno's came wrapped in plastic. The filters look right as compared to the pictures on...

Does this require a PS pump upgrade?

I wonder if a Balance Master driveshaft balancer would help? Are these any good? Balance Masters: Driveshafts

The 06 DH parts book shows replacement mirror glass, but not a replacement motor assy. I am having the same problem with my 06. A little thumb pressure gets things moving. Very annoying...

The local CAT dealer in my area charges $18. 95 for an analysis.

Cylinder 1's injector line doesn't have a clamp to stabilize it. Maybe that is why it clicks more. Also, it feed off the end of the fuel rail rather than from the side. Some of the reflected pressure waves in the pressurized fuel (about 7500 psi at idle) could be intensified in this orientation...

This may be way off, but... I thought I read somewhere that the line pressure solenoid on the valve body was controlled by a 0-1 amp current signal with 1 amp at idle and 0 amps at full throttle (hence full pressure in limp home mode if there is a controller fault). If one adds a 1-2 ohms of...
