Back in 2005 I had to take out my back seat and seat belts for more storage room. I had used my truck to deliver fifth wheel trailers around the country. Like a guy over sixty (in my case absent minded), I did not make a diagram of the installation, so now I need to find out how they go back...

I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of switching a manual out for an automatic. I figure it would be expensive, but may be worth if it can be done. any ideas would be appreciated.

had a dual remote amsoil setup that was mounted on the frame under the passengers side. one of the problems was the humming and the other was the lack of pressure on startup. even though the oil level was correct, it took a few seconds to get the pressure to record which scared me and hince i...

thanks for the reply, got to get it in to the dealer next friday and check it out. its still under dc warranty for a while.

anybody know whether this might be a problem with the 2004. 5. My truck makes a lot of grinding noise and seems to get a little louder while going around corners. I can only think this could be a wheel bearing or something in the driveline assembly. thanks for any info.

thanks for the replys folks..... i was afraid i was going to have to take it to the dealer and it would take them a month of messing around with it, meanwhile i was losing money because no truck to work with. . gp

anybody else had the paint coming off of the rear diff and the color looking like a little darker rust like gold. I pull 90 percent of the time and have amsoil 85 140 in it. I have 45k on the truck and am wondering if the diff has been hot and should i see the dealer about it. any comments...

how many of you out there have adjusted your valves any sooner than the recommended interval. I talked to my dealer today and he said not due until 100,000 miles and it would be out of my pocket expense. my was running yesterday and it sounded a lot louder that it use to and i thought about the...

I wanted to find out if any of you 3g guys are having a problem with the chime going off and the guages dying down. This has been happening more frequently lately, but i did find out that if i raise the rpm's a little, the guages will come back online. Had it down to the dealer today for the...

I use Lucas injector treatment which is available at any o'reillys. I buy it there because I have one close. I have seen it at flying j's and pilot truck stops as well. Lucas is and has always been big in the trucking industry and is well represented at trucking shows and on xm 171 which is the...

I put on a Flowmaster 5" tip and extended it out 4" and that solved the problem. I could not stand the soot on the quarter panel. .

is that load of concrete ready yet... ?

thanks for the replys everybody, probally should take to the dealer anyway and get their blessing. . gp

My truck has a little over 10300 miles on it and today a I went out and started it up and I did'nt glance at the oil pressure, but in seconds the warning ding ding went off and it said to check gauges and the oil pressure was on 0, so I immedatiely shut it down and waited a moment, then started...
