I have had the truck going on 4 yrs now, and I have filled it to the top of the filler tube quite often, it has never done that before. It looks like there is something, a rubber hose, that is missing.

I was filling my tank today, and there was fuel spilling from the top of the tank. I have been looking at the top of tank, and there is a 1/4" nozzle pointed to the right hand side of the truck with nothing on it. It looks to be the cause of my spill. Am I missing a stopper or breather? Can't...

Do you have to put additive in the fuel?

I have an '02, and the batteries seem to boil over a lot. They are not over filled, but I have to do battery maintenance on both and the hold down bolts. I have to clean them about every 2 months. I have replaced the original bolts and cleaned the trays. I also had to re-route a wiring conduit...

Wild Bill, how many miles do you have on your rig? A friend of mine has just over 103,000 on his,('04. 5) and was wondering how long are the lift/injector pumps expected to last?

I have a friend (trying to get him to join TDR) that has an 00, dually, ec, 2wd with a 47RE, and says that it is not shifting out of 1st. Is this just a sticky valve? Rebuild will cost about $2000. Sticky valve about $50, how do you go about finding out what the problem is? MDobson

Missouri Mule: thanks for the info, that didn't even cross my mind, I will be looking into it. MDobson

These were 2 different occasions, had to unplug the motor because all of a suudden it kept running, now much later, this locking up just started happening, so ABS light has been on. Checked proportioning valve, ok, bled front brakes, all fluid.

I have a problem with front brakes locking up after about 3 miles, have now bled brake lines, had to unplug the anti-lock brake motor? was continually running and is locking up but not as bad. Have no idea what is wrong, pads are less than a 1 yr old, rotors are new, calipers are new...

The clutch in my '02 is OEM and soft and I want to find out about what clutches are on the market, what are some after market clutch brands or should I replace it with a OEM??:confused:
