All, I am on the fence and frankly have not kept up with anything 4th gen as I own a 3rd gen 5.9. However I am to the point where I don't know if the creature comforts are enough to push me into a new one as mine is entering its 18th year. My current 06 is a slightly dressed up SLT with...

Noise is fixed. It turned out to be the front Pinion bearing. The crush sleeve was destroying the bearing. Replace bearing race and all and it is back to normal. In the process I also replaced both drive shafts ubolts and also the carrier bearing. I started with the later first as the...

After switching over to HID's and running those for 4 years I kicked them to the curb and bought the AlphaRex lights. Love them and they are very crisp and clear and the headlights also bring the truck up to par with the current trucks. I have the black 2 lenses 600 variety and I can't say...

When slowing down either coasting or with brakes, I have a low noise that is definitely rotational. It kind of reminds me of mud tires but I don't have mud tires. I do have some mild cupping on the front and was going to get the alignment check and rotation this next week. Truck has 196000...

Yes I am still running the stock CAM

Darkbloodmon, Yes I am still a stock 06 Turbo. It smokes at low throttle and high on all the tunes. Sport which is a CR tune and tow. I get the 12v tune and the pistons in the 05+ but it is really all of them. I would like to use that smoke and put it to the tires. My son has taken to...

Darkbloodmon, My tunes are listed above, I mostly drive around in the 12v 120hp tune. It smokes a lot and that leads me to believe that I could use more air. The Turbo that I am looking at is Stage 7 66/74/14 Turbo SXE Billet Includes a Wastegated Exhaust Housing (0.80 a/r) upgrade to...

I couldn't get this all in the signature line. But these are the specifics of my truck. 2006 Ram 2500 SLT; BBi Stage 1; Hamilton Springs & Rods; Ind Inj BoP CP3; AFE DFS780; MM3(60hp, 12v 120hp, 160hp); ARP HS; Coolant bypass; BD trans filter; Rockytop Transmission (700hp Billet Triple)...

I have a 2006 5.9L and was wondering if this vast community has had experience with a DPS Turbonator Turbo? I would like to know your impressions about drivability and I would also like to know how long you have had it installed on your truck. Joel

Fix has been installed now for 3 weeks and so far so good. The motor seemed to be the solution. I have had to shift into 4wd twice and it has functioned like it always did and has disconnected like it should. No codes, no service 4wd and especially no hopping through parking lots. I will...

Update, the switch tested out to be fine and behaving in all positions. However when it was being driven it had an active fault saying it was the TC motor. Got one on order and it will be here soon. I will update again after the fix is applied and after it has been driven for sometime. The...

Ozy, that is funny you said that because the switch was disconnected after the radio install I found that out when I needed to get up a gravel driveway and had to back it back down. This all started when that switch was put back in service. How does the switch get power when the truck is off...

Truck has turned 182k miles and now I have a gremlin. Whilst minding my business driving to work I noticed the 4lo light blinking on the cluster. It would do it on a occasion and not even daily. I ignored it when I checked the MM3 for codes and there wasn't any. Then one day I went out to...

What part of AL are you in? I live in the Knoxville area and I just had mine rebuilt around here. Rocky Top Transmissions in Blaine, TN is where I went. They rebuild your unit to your specs and they are a great shop. The shop was recommended by several different sources one being my neighbor...

All, Has anyone had experience with the BD Howler turbo set up? Either driven one or installed one on their vehicle. I have an 06 2500 with BBI stage 1 injectors, springs, rods, head studs and a industrial injection bag of parts installed on the CP3. 4" Turboback exhaust, transmission just...
