    Tire size adjustment

    A buddy of mine owns a trans shop here in town. We used his MTG2500 to change the tire count. We played with the settings as described above. I have 325/60/20 tires. When we read the settings from the truck, it had the stock 245 tires, tire count was 400. At those settings the speedo was slow by...

    A/C Problem

    I forgot to check the high side. The outside temp was about 85-90 degrees. I am just confused because in our other trucks, if the fan clutch isn't engaged, the a/c still blows cold. I know this because we leave them running for hours on location an the a/c still blows cold even on still days. I...

    A/C Problem

    That may be it. I know it is engaging but, now that you mention it, it doesn't roar like the other two trucks... I've never had a fan clutch that failed like that. I'll change it out and see what happens... Thanks...

    A/C Problem

    I just bought an '04 with 105K. I don't know the history of it as it was bought from a dealer. When I test drove it, it was about 60 degrees out and rainy. The a/c seemed to work well then but since it was so cool out, I may have been fooled. Now that it is getting to the 90's, the a/c isn't...

    Brake pad replacement

    I replaced fronts and rears at around 80K on our '03 but all that truck does is tow a 20K lbs trailer day in and day out. Also had to replace the back drivers side rotor ($250 only at dodge house) due to not changing the pads soon enough.

    Pacbrake disappointing!

    The trailer has electric over hydraulic brakes on it also. The boss man was just disappointed that his $900+ won't stop any better than that. Yes, we are pushing 40K and maybe over sometimes. I must say the '03 will pull the trailer with out any problems. We can keep up in traffic without even...

    Pacbrake disappointing!

    Installed a Pacbrake on my bosses '03 6 speed. With our fully loaded cement trailer (appx 33,000 lbs) the braking is hardly noticeable. With the trailer empty (appx 15,000 lbs) the brake is still less than we feel it should be. We are not worried about voiding the trucks warranty or the pacbrake...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Cheap High Idle, Oem Feature?

    007 I read about the different PCM and other items but from what I can tell on the cummins website, the Inline II will allow you to connect to and modify the software in the PCM. I know that there are differences but I still think this may work. I am open to explainations of why it won't but...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Cheap High Idle, Oem Feature?

    To start with, I do not own a 24v and do not have access to one to play with. After reading over this thread twice, checking out dodgeram.com (something like that), and spending time on cummins.com I was wondering if this might be a possible solution. First off, I am a new CTD owner ('93 d250)...
