Thanks for the explanation Gene. I was totally unaware of the thermal cluth that could engage. You guys are great.

thanks for the replies. regarding the temp gauge, I have not seen any changes in the temp reading during hearing the sound. I will check my fluid level on the radiator to see if it is low. I did not know there was an electric fan that engaged and disengaged! I will let you know

I have been hearing a strange sound lately while driving on the highway on the last couple of trips. Everything sounds normal, then all of a sudden it sounds like a fan noise kicks in on the motor, revs up (not the motor, the noise), then releases and goes away. All of this last approx 25...

Thanks for the info Holeshot. . of course i have another question. :) How long does the install take, and how difficult? That brings up one other question. I just did a highway run of approx 600 miles, running 70 - 80 mph most of the way. I got about 19 mpg. I have a 4x4 ex cab with auto...

hell all. what do the 3k springs do? How much $$$? I do not have any gauges so I assume I would need to do that first, but cost info would help. thanks

My cruise control all of a sudden is not working. Recently, it was working, however it you hit a big bump in the road, it would shut off. Once it would shut off, you could not reset it until you turned off the truck and restarted. Now, I cannot get it to work at all. The little light come on...

Thanks for all of the ideas. I will change my air filter and see what that does. I did do the tab repair on my KDP a few months ago, it may be possible that the timing is off as I did not have anything to accurately guage the harmonic balancer.

I have a 96 auto with approximately 117k miles. Recently I noticed some black smoke, but I am wondering what is normal and excessive. I get some on start up. While crusing at 40mph, if I punch the gas a little, I get a short burst of black smoke out the pipe. . Is this normal? I get 15mph in...

What is the TPS that needs cleaning? What does TPS stand for?

Thanks for the all of the info! The members of this site are great! I always know anything about my dodge can be answered here. thanks again

2nd repair I am working on currently. I need to replace the front pinion seal and both front output seals on the transfer case as they are leaking. I though I read here that someone had replaced them without too much trouble. Shop wants $360 in labor to change everything out. Any experience...

I need to replace by left front U-Joint per the shop and they want $237 to do it, $162 labor and $75 for the part. Has anyone done this replacement? How tough was it? I am considering taking this on myself. thanks

Has anyone installed the fuel filter relocation kit, I think it is from Geno's? I am considering investing the $100 plus $$ for the kit because I think it would get me to change out the filter on a more consistent basis. Anyone use this, and does it install easy and work well?

thanks holeshot. i will give that a try

96 4x4 auto with 115k miles. My transfer case has started to leak fluid at the rear gasket. I checked the shaft and it does not appear to be leaking there, only at the gasket. I attempted to check the bolts for tightness, however you cannot access the two bottom ones without lowering the...
