Thanks for the suggestions. With 4 kids we usually carry 4 bikes. I may just build my own stealing some ideas from lippert. The only bad part is this trailer has a polar package and I’ll need to remove insulation and such to access the frame to modify the bumper attachments. Such is life I guess

looking for suggestions on hauling bikes on the back of our 5th wheel. The last 5th wheel had a receiver on the rear bumper when we bought it so I bought a Curt 5 bike rack and used it. Worked ok except for broken straps and some twisting and bending. Got a new 5th wheel shortly before the first...

For the past couple years my 06 4wd 2500 has had a clunk in the steering you could feel through the wheel and on rough roads the floor. Long story short I’ve replaced everything but the axle and the gear box. The other night while greasing my new ball joints after a long trip I rolled over and...

Thank you. That was my thought also The valvebody is removed and going to a highly recommended shop. Will let you know the end result

Last weekend I posted in 911 about P1753 I had on my truck. I changed the TTVA and had the code reset thinking that was the solution. About 15 miles into my return trip home with the camper I felt it go into derate again. Limped my way home and checked it with my little code reader. Same code. I...

Dealer got the TTVA as promised this morning. I installed it in about 20 minutes. Took it back to the dealer where they cleared the code and reset it for free. So far so good. We will see tomorrow. Thank you to those who replied and Blaise Alexander Dodge in Mansfield Pa

Thanks I found that also. Unfortunately my scanner is at home. With only 80000 miles and being as reliable as it has been I don't ever think to bring it on trips. The local dealer couldn't get it in till next week sometime. Even after I explained I was out of town. I need to be home on Sunday

I am camping with the family 3 hours from home. I have a code of P1753 on my 06 2500. It's for the transmission throttle valve actuator. A local dealer can get me one by tomorrow. Are there any other things I should look at or will need to do?

Thanks for the reply. I just dropped the pan for the third time in 2 days and put the original gov pressure block back in and all is fine now Bought the kit from electrical advantage and it came with a dnj components solenoid kit. Will be making some calls on Tuesday

I posted this on 911 a while ago and now have a update. I installed a master solenoid kit with a new gov solenoid mounted in a new billet piece. Starting the truck after the initial 8 ats of oil I got code P0868 low trans pressure. I figured it was caused by every thing being empty of oil Took...

I just got done installing a complete solenoid kit including the wire harness and updated gov pressure solenoid I now have a code P0868 trans fluid pressure low. The truck operates as it should but starts in 2nd gear as if first no longer exists. I did remove the valve body to install the wire...

I just found a master solenoid kit with the governor upgrade from electrical advantage.net in Oregon for $259. It sounds like it should cover the basics Anyone used this company before?

I've not tried that. I'm a heavy equipment mechanic and drive my service truck daily and not my dodge. I thought about the solenoids but was unsure where to get them before I do a fluid change and check the pan for chunks

My 06 with only 69000 miles did a strange thing while towing the camper. Going up hill in od it down shifted to 3rd and when it went to lock up it felt like it slammed in and out 3 times before I lifted the throttle. It then locked and seemed fine as I babyed it home the last couple miles. When...

Thanks for the replies I forgot about summit and they are $100 cheaper than carquest. We have used 3 red tops to start a alcohol super stock tractor with no charging system for 3 years with no failure.
