It's time to replace the front axle u joints on my signature truck and while I haven't decided as of yet whether I will install a free wheel kit for the font hubs, my question is how difficult is it to get the hubs out? Whether I replace just the Ujoint or go with a free wheel hub I will have to...

Heading to lease last spring.

So I cleaned all the posts and battery connections and put my big charger on each battery one at a time. I noticed neither really needed a charge but put them on a low charge at 10A for 90 minutes each. While I waited I talked to a few diesel shop owners I'm friends with and didn't get too many...

Got off duty this morning at 5am and went to start my truck. Truck had been sitting for 3 days and it was 50 degrees here this morning. Got a single click, gauges flashed and then nothing. Tried two more times before giving up and looking around the station for a battery charger. Couldn't find...

So, I wasted time, sat around trying to decide what to do while managing the leak with some Zerex GO-5. I decided to order the Gates pump from Geno's mostly due to cost. I could buy 2 or 3 or more for the price of a dealer or other part. Well on this past sunday the pump seized up and tossed the...

This morning I discovered a leak at my water pump. Initial discovery appears to be a steady drip from the bottom of the water pump. I suppose the gasket could've gone bad but either way she has 133,000 on the original pump so figure I'll replace it and the gasket regardless. I've seen some...

Well I decided to change on the road when the light came on. I got 6100 out of this oil, which is 1500 to 2000 more than any of the others. However I've done way more highway driving this go around. I appreciate everyone's responses.

So here's another spin on a question that has probably been overly abused. Oil changes... ..... If I read posts correctly the computer gives us the oil change light when there's approx 5% fuel dilution in our oil. With that being said, if you change your oil and filter before the light comes on...

Thanks for everyone's thoughts and opinions. I went with Mobil Delvac and a Mobil 1 oil filter for now. May change later after doing some more research. I ordered a Mopar Nanonet fuel filter from Geno's and will most likely order the FASS system by end of the year. Haven't decided what else I...

Well I am finally a Cummins Owner! After spending many years with several different Dodge 4wd gassers I finally was able to purchase a Cummins. Got my hands on a 2010 3500 LB 4x4 CC Laramie. She has 85000 on her and is gorgeous. I have spent time on here reading and have spent some years working...
