    Water leak

    Thanks all. That's what it was.

    Water leak

    No, it's been raining and cool and I have been running the heater at low temperature. Do you know the function of that black cyoinder on upper side of the fire wall. The leak seems to be related to that.

    Water leak

    I just noticed water leaking from the passenger side of the engine compartment of my 2006 dually with 42000 miles. It drips quite steadily when the engine is running. It appears to originate at the black cylinder up near the fire wall, or maybe at a fitting on the hose running into it. It...

    trailer 7 pin wiring 2006 3500

    The dealer reset mine and also only charged me $25. 00, but not till I drove from Truckee to Santa Rosa with no tail lights or turn signals on a busy summer afternoon. I ran a wire from the battery (protected with a circuit breaker) to the back of the truck and used it and relays to control the...

    trailer 7 pin wiring 2006 3500

    The dealer reset it, and only charged me $25. 00!! A friend told me I might have been able to reset it by disconnecting and reconnecting both battery grounds, but I didn't try it. I'm going to add a fuse box and 3 relays, with the boat trailer lights powered direct from the battery through the...

    trailer 7 pin wiring 2006 3500

    Looks like it. I have no left turn/brake light circuit, no fuses are blown, and I can see from the wiring diagram that these circuits go directly to the control module. What happened to the concept of protecting sensitive electronic components with adequate overcurrent protection devices...

    trailer 7 pin wiring 2006 3500

    I have an '06 3500 which is factory wired (I assume) with a 7 way plug in the bed for a camper, and a 7 way at the back bumper for a trailer and a 4 way at the bumper for towing a boat behind the camper. On my last trip the wires to the boat trailer got pinched in a turn against the frame of the...

    Sirius Radio Question?

    Thanks. It turned out it is above the glove box. I didn't recognize it at first because of the metal plate and the connector, which looks so different from the connector on the antenna I bought. And I couldn't get the connector off without breaking the little clamp that holds it on. But the...

    Where is the Sirius radio receiver?

    Is it behind the heavy cardboard/fibre mat that is between the back of the seat and the back wall of the cab, or is it visible once the seat is removed? Is yours a megacab? And about how big is the reciever? Thanks, this is very helpful.

    Where is the Sirius radio receiver?

    Does anyone know where the Sirius radio receiver box is in my ‘06 3500 megacab. It’s factory installed with the factory radio. I need to find it to extend the cable so that I can get reception with my camper on. The receiver is not above the glove box or behind the right kick panel or under any...

    Sirius Radio Question?

    On my 06 3500 dually mega cab it isn't behind above the glove box or behind the right kick panel. The AM antenna comes in there and runs over towards the radio. Do yoiu know where else the Sirius box could be. It's not under the seats. I've heard it might be behind the rear passenger seat.

    Sirius Radio Reception

    Mine works fine in California, only drops out when there are obstructions to the south and under bridges. However, I need to extend the antenna to accomodate my camper. Does anyone know where the Sirius box is on an '06 3500 dually with mega cab. It's not above the glove box or behind the right...

    Sirius Radio Question?

    With it on the hood, did the camper ever block it? My experiencs is that the signals come somewhat from the south.

    Sirius Radio Question?

    I bought two 50 ft. extension cables and another antenna on the internet. My plan is to attach one cable to the Sirius receiver and the other to the existing antenna cable, and route them both to the back bumper of the truck. When they are attached together I will have reception from the...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Best replacement transmission?

    Thanks for all the advice. I'm new to TDR and didn't realize I was asking a question which had started major battles in the past. By the way, what is the best oil? Just kidding, do not answer!!
