I found out that mine didn't hold on my 4 degree sloped driveway. Fortunately, my neighbors were not home who usually park in the street. Would have been a real mess. Sometimes it holds, sometimes it doesn't. I have no faith in it for sure. I carry a couple of wheel chocks in the bed if I need...

OK, here is the deal. I get in my truck. Turn on the A/C because it is around 300 degrees in the cab. Put the fan on high... nothing. Try rotating all control knobs... nothing. Jiggle the key (hey, it work for my commode!)... . nothing. Five miles down the road... wicked wind coming from the...

She's only done about 4000 miles with a 28' f/w behind. Not too much really. I'm really torn about selling it though. It's been so good to me, I'm afraid I would never get one as good as it has been!

Hey everyone, I am considering upgrading to a new truck and hate the thought of trading in my baby. I know it is worth a ton more to me than any dealer would consider. Here are the details. She's a 98 SLT shortbed extended cab, 5 speed, 230,000 on the clock. Straight piped, AFE, fuel plate, full...

Hey everyone. I have been searching the forums for some help in getting DC to fix the peeling paint problem on my 98 two toner. I came up with this link http://peelingpaint.homestead.com/ but unfortunately it is now dead. Did anyone happen to cut and paste this information? If so, I could sure...

Thanks for the info guys. I went ahead and bit the bullet and dropped the dash to perform the TSB. That is certianly the problem! I drove the chisel as the TSB reccomends, but I may not have done it enough. There is still a little bit of noise but at least now it is only over the big bumps...

Hello all y'all. I am having a problem and I hope you can come to the rescue. I have this very annoying clicking sound that is driving me nuts. I remember reading about similar situations in the past on the website, but none of the possible solutions worked for me. Here are some specifics on the...

Hey y'all. My wastegate actuator diaphram failed on me last year and I disconnected it and plugged off the vacuum port. All is well but we just bought a 5th wheel and I am afraid to tow a lot without it. What is the best way to go for a wastegate actuator. Anyone know where I can get a used...

Hey Y'all. I remember hearing about a guage package that mounts under the dash and, if I remember correctly, it is digital. It runs off the computer on the truck and I think it came from Cummins. Does anyone know of this? I can't for the life of me find one. Any help would be appreciated...

Just FYI, you can also drill a shallow 7/64" hole in the bolt and tap in a T-20 Torx bit. If you use an impact driver, it'll be a breeze. Scott

Thank You ALL...I am a new diesel owner I assummed there were emmissions tests becaus You need to go back to the dealer and request that they give you back the money you paid for the emissions test, pronto. I bought mine from Hunter Dodge in Lancaster, CA and they had charged me for it as well...

Hey Gang. Is there anyone in Southern California (Antelope Valley, but I will drive to get one) with a wastegate actuator that they would like to sell. My diaphram blew out and none of the dealers have one and cannot get one for over 2 weeks! I need some help on this one. I think I can pinch...

Wow! Thanks for the welcoming and quick responses. I wonder if I might be better off waiting and purchasing a cam plate since I am going to have it all apart anyway. Does sliding the forward stock have that great of an effect or would installing a performance plate give me a huge effect...

Hello fellow members! My name is Scott and I have been a lurker for a long time. I need a little help with sliding the plate forward. I have seen it referred to a million times, but I am not too sure how to do it. If anyone has any detailed instruction or a link to a site that provides them, I...
