I had elected to have the CCV filter, EGR Cooler and EGR Valve serviced ahead of time because of an extended travel trip. Didn't want to be looking for a shop during the trip. The Service Engine came up on the overhead display while on the trip. I performed the brake pedal and throttle reset and...

Thanks for your replies. Some great factual stuff about Urea and it's frozen state. Thanks E7mack96, we area taking that info with use as we shop for our next truck. We hope to hear more from some of the guys out in the cold on the work sites.

Hello, we are looking at purchasing a 2013/14, 2500 or 3500. We live in the Prairies and see the temp drop to -30f in the winter. We have heard the horror stories of what the other Bowtie and Blue Oval guys have seen when they introduced Urea. We already know about not filling over 80% when it...

I ran into this after my truck sat a week. First thing I did was put some Diesel fuel conditioner in the tank. It cleared up the rough idle right away. I must have fueled up shortly after the station tanks were filled. This can stir up any water in the main storage tank and this can be...

Could the TIPM for a manual be less $?

I got back from a one week holiday. Jumped into the truck, turned the key and got nothing but the grid heater and lights. Starter would not turn over or click. Did some reading here to check all the options before hauling it away on the flat deck. Just so happened there was another thread on a...

Thanks for your reply on the Check Engine Light. I was thinking of deleting it this AM but didn't get it done. I entered it mostly to defend what Cummins and Dodge are trying to do in order to clean up emissions from Diesel engines. I was starting to think that what I wrote wasn't of interest to...

Well, it finally happened to my truck. Driving my usual 15 minute ride to work on the 60 mph road surrounding the city. The chime dings, I look at the roof monitor but it says Normal. Looking down on the Dash and I have the Check Engine light. I have just under 39,000 miles on the truck. Calling...

Thanks HBarlow and stroke 07. My question was answered. I was inquiring on what we can expect to see for the future of the Cummins Dodge truck engine. Urea or not! Not is much better!!

I know about Dodge having no problem meeting emissions for 2010. Well turns out a new Ford owner says... "Oh ya they will all be using Urea in 2011". Hmmm, is this just another reason for him to think Ford is now on a level playing field with the clean Dodge Cummins. Has anyone heard what...

Hello don Just wanted to ask if you are also looking at strengthening the hitch assembly. When I added the extra TorkLift receiver under the factory hitch, you could really see how it adds extra strength in the hitch area. Adding an extension onto the factory hitch puts new loads on the...

Hello starkmr Like your truck. I caught a glimpse of it on the photo TDR page. How have you been doing with US mpg fuel milage. Has the standard worked well for you? I have the 6 spd auto and am very happy with it since the wife can drive it now without complaining about a standard. It is one...

Hello Don Your on the right track. Keep in mind that when you turn, will you have enough room to make a tight turn you may encounter. Does your hitch have a vee style where it will come in contact with the jacks on your camper? How close will your jeep be to your camper when turning? Will the...
