I have a 2005 2500. I am looking for a good shop in North Eastern Ohio. I am from Lisbon, Ohio which is located about 40 miles south of Youngstown. I am not interested in a dealer service center. I can get after most repairs, but I would really like the name of a private shop that knows these...

They new fan clutch is installed. It seems to have been the cause of all of my problems. The old one seems to work properly, except for the intermittent noise that it seldom produces. I'm happy. Thanks for the ideas.

Now, I am in the process of swapping out the 324 dollar viscomatic fan drive. I pray that it is the problem.

Hi... . I have a 2005 2500 with a nvg 5600 trans. In the garage all lights out..... Engine idling, You can see a green light faintly strobing every 5-6 seconds in between the tach and speed. Just above those guages on center. Anyone know why? Is the the truck going to self destruct? Even...

I have posted an earlier question inquiring about a belt noise. After many needless parts replaced I now believe the culpret is the High tech fan clutch. The truck only makes the noise when hot and Today the squeal continued after the truck was shut down for a second or two. Has anyone had this...

Here is my most recent findings: The other night it started squealing when I got home from work. I immediately took a section of hose and touched it to eack drive belt accessory. No Luck. Then the squeal just up and stops. Today when I got to work it was making the squeal again. Heres the...

Okay, It is all going to come out now. I first replaced the belt. That worked for something like a week. Next, when the squeal resumed I felt sure that it was coming from the the idler vacinity. I replaced the bearing in the idler. Then I took the entire tensioner off and sprayed some wd-40...

I do not have experience with that particular transmission. However, it is the transmission in my current Dodge. I can offer you this. Last year I replaced the clutch in my 1994 Chevy Silverado 350 with a 5 speed. For the same reason you are inquiring about yours. The truck has 142,000 miles and I...

Thanks PawPaw. That will let me sleep better. As far as the belt squeal. It is still doing it. I am going to try the hose to the ear thing If I get the squeal back tonight. I have not noticed a difference with the a/c on or off. I do feel, however, that It is caused by a slight slip on a pully...

In Addition can someone verify that the stock water pump does not have the impeller backing plate.

I am from Lisbon Ohio. I have had the truck for 2 years without incident. Thanks for the reply. I'll have to try harder at finding the source. That fan spinning really makes me leary. It always sounds around the tensioner/water pump area. Very hard to get to.

I have a 2005 dodge truck with 21k miles. This spring the belt or something belt driven started squealing at idle. It only does it wth a hot engine. I have replaced the belt with the Dayco version. That shut it up for a week. Then it returned so I replaced the bearing in the idler pully and...
